Was there anything I didn't like about this book? Not really, but there are some things that I wish we got to see more of. So much happens in this book, many questions do get answered, and,yes, we get to see are friends from Darkest Powers again! This book is most definitely the best book in the series! It was a crazy, wild ride while it lasted. Love this book and love Kelley Armstrong. There was a sense of closure at the end, and while the circumstances might not have been completely ideal, the characters were happy which of course makes me happy and makes me want them to be my friends WHY CAN'T THEY BE MY FRIENDS We met some new characters, we reunited with some old characters, and everything was wonderful. In all seriousness, this was a great book. Because reaching into a book and grabbing the character you've fallen in love and making him marry you is impossible because they're fictional characters *sulks away* But! I'm completely on board with the choice she made in the end and I couldn't have asked for a better boyfriend. I have to admit, love triangles suck most of the time, and I was a little tentative about the choice Maya seemed to be making. All the characters seemed more or less happy, and the last chapter was beyond adorable. This book's ending, while somewhat bittersweet, was the best way it could have ended. (all measures are approximated) (I don't know how to bake)

The last half of the book, however, was everything I could've hoped for.Īdd a cup of action, a tablespoon of suspense, a teaspoon of sadness, a dash of romance, a group of characters who were fascinatingly realistic, and you've got Darkness Rising. The first 70 or so pages were kind of lagging. The only reason why I did rate this book 4 stars instead of five was that it, surprisingly, started out slow for me. Just to get this out of the way: DEREK AND CHLOE AND SIMON AND TORI SHOWED UP AND EVERYTHING WAS BEAUTIFUL

What a great way to end such a great series.
