Not long ago, Laney Alexander was living a carefree life, that is, until she was thrown into a world full of creatures only the imagination thought possible. Now, after surviving a terrifying night, Laney and Oliver are lying low at Julz's place, relieved to be in each other's arms once again. But fate seems to have other plans...
Julz is not happy to have visitors in her home and emotions run high. Laney is pushed to her limits as she watches Carter fight for his life and her relationship with Oliver becomes strained as she discovers secrets about Julz that could tear them apart.
As she reaches her boiling point, disaster strikes and her life is shattered. Laney must come to terms with what has unfolded. Will she lose her way and let the darkness consume her or will she find her light in Oliver?
Secrets will be revealed. Hearts will be broken. Lives will be lost. Darkness will fall.
Darkness is the second installment of the Brookehaven Vampires series by Joann I. Martin Sowles. The first installment, Laney, got me hooked on this series and Darkness definitely fed my addiction! Darkness picks up where Laney left off (on a cliffhanger, of course!) and dives right into the story.
In Darkness, Sowles offers the reader a lot of background information that helps make the Brookehaven world much more detailed and defined. Throughout the course of the book, we learn more about Oliver and his family: Issac, Hayden, Julz, and Felix. Oliver is gorgeous (as always!) and brooding, and cares so much for Laney, his love, that he keeps secrets from her that makes the reader feel the urge to continue reading, so more secrets can be discovered. Laney is naturally smart, witty, and funny in her narration which provides relief when things get too serious. Oliver is charming and caring, which makes him totally swoon-worthy! I really enjoyed the character development in Darkness, as well as the development in Laney and Oliver's relationship. The one question that was constantly in my mind was: Will Laney become a vampire? I don't think I could take it if anything ever happened to my favorite literary couple. I hope you're reading this, Ms. Sowles! *cough*
I really enjoyed Darkness--it seems as if the books get better as they're written, and I hope this pattern continues!
I highly recommend the Brookehaven Vampires series if you're a fan of paranormal romance!
