3.5 Darkness of Light Stars I read the Collector Series first and LOVED it. So I thought ok time for this one. I wont say I loved this one but I am in like. I can see how the series are connected but you dont have to have read one before the other. Or at least thats how I am seeing it. Ember is still in high school and is a little dramatic but you expect that with her age. Eli is the love interest but also not. Its different that is for sure but they share this connection. Torin seems to be aI really, really, REALLY enjoyed this book!Ember was feisty and kickass, reckless at times, but her encounters with the sheriffs department reminded me of one of my favorite TV heroines, Veronica Mars.Eli so hot for him! Eli and Embers scenes were smoking hot!It drives me wild, in a good way, when two characters have crazy chemistry, but cant seem to be together. Oh, how I love to be teased. Eli did lose points with me when he left Ember alone in the woods without transportation and she had to
Super angsty YA/NA some kind of Fae wannabe love triangle drama llama which I kinda enjoyed it. đŸ¤·♀
This book isn't a complete trainwreck. There are some good moments. But there are parts of this book that offend me to my core. Two years ago I might have struggled through those parts. I might have even forgiven them. Not today. The synopsis warns that, "DARKNESS OF LIGHT is a Mature YA(16+)/New Adult Paranormal Romance.". I've read mature. I've read erotic fiction. I've read LGBT fiction. I know what "mature" looks like and it doesn't look like this. This is juvenile, puerile, crass and
1 star - DNF at 55% - Beware: rant ahead!Nope. That's enough. I'm done.I really tried, but my headache is getting the best of me, so I choose to give up. I don't even know if my migrane is book-induced, or if I just slammed my Kindle or my hand one time too many against my forehead.After the first chapter, it was clear to me that I wasn't going to read this book because of its characters. I disliked Ember right away but I was still hopeful that the story might be able to make up for that
Ember knows there is something wrong with her when things keep blowing up around her. She is sent to a special school for troubled teens where she meets Eli. He's dark, handsome, brooding and has something "special" about him too. He really wants to hate Ember but is attracted to her too, this leads to some delightful sexual tension. As Ember embraces her growing powers, it becomes clear that Eli knows what is going on but won't tell her. Ah, the frustration! At the very end of the book, Ember's
Anyone that has followed my reading tastes can probably see a pattern emerging: if there is a 'bad boy' douchebag (especially riding a motorcycle) and it involves fae and it's a YA... can we say, 'Right up my alley?' Eli has me in his clutches from the word, "No."I found myself really connecting with Ember. "She was scared of me-most of the school was." Kind of a sad thing to have in common with a character, but I actually had most of my Jr.High scared of me for my preferred genre in reading
