Ratings and reviews

Rhys is tormented by his daily struggle to contain the ruthless, cold-blooded creature sharing his body, but when his best friend disappears, his restraint and self-control are broken and something is still missing from Taer’s life in this riveting conclusion to the Dark trilogy. In order to find Galen, Rhys strikes an unlikely alliance with the only god who knows the truth about his dark past and the readers can’t help but become ensnared in the deadly web of deceit and devotion as the hunt for Loki intensifies. Spine tingling tension and adrenaline pumping excitement can be found on practically every page of this story as Odin desperately tries to manipulate his way to ending Loki’s threat, Rhys’ control of the beast within is on very shaky ground as he and comes across the Valkyries and Taer struggles with her relationship with Aubrey until he becomes a pawn in this deadly battle. The scenes are well written with vivid descriptions that make it easy for the reader to become caught up in all the exciting events that guarantee the reader is glued to the pages. There is plenty of emotional turmoil flowing throughout the pages due to relationship struggles, inner personal struggles, fear and of course the desire for revenge that marks each and every step of this battle. The steady to fast paced and smooth flowing plot draws readers in with lots of suspense and excitement, romance and strong, compelling characters that reach out for the readers’ understanding. The trilogy is best read in sequence due to the complexity of the plot, it is full of twists and surprises that keeps readers guessing and the author’s creative play with the Norse pantheon of gods is truly fascinating and held me hostage from the very first book even though the trilogy is a bit on the dark side.

About the author

Born in South Africa and raised in Sydney, Lauren Dawes is an urban fantasy/paranormal romance writer and the author of the Dark Series.

In 2009, she quit her full-time job teaching English as a Second Language to finally begin writing "that book", letting her over-active imagination pour out onto the digital pages, much to everyone's horror. The catch phrase "I didn't know you had such a dark imagination" only fueled her to write more, where her love for Norse mythology and gods finally got the spotlight.

She currently lives with her husband and daughter in whatever city they happen to be posted to, and her cat, Oscar, who has inspired more than one character quirk or scene in her books.
