Risa Jones has a number of beings who are not happy with
her. Everyone who is after the keys to hell is angry and to
be honest she's not too happy either. Her world has become
DARKNESS SPLINTERED and all she wants to do is forget the
everything around her. She has the revenge against her
mother's death that she desired but she got neither the
satisfaction nor the peace she thought would come from that
action.
When her father threatens the life of one of her friends
she has no choice but to ask for her lover, Azriel's help
to continue the search for the keys. This is one of the
hardest things she has had to do because she had banished
him from her life. In the process of saving her life he
changed her forever into what he is. A dark angel. When she
dies, she will not be reborn to another life on earth, but
will join him in the gray fields guarding the gates to
heaven and hell.
Time is ticking ... between her Aedh father and vampire
Madeline Hunter, who she is seriously thinking is crazy;
her life is out of control. With her friends in jeopardy,
worry about her own child and trying to stop the chaos the
world could become with the gates of hell wide open, Risa
knows she cannot do this alone and turns to those she can
trust.
DARKNESS SPLINTERED is the darkly frightening, action
packed sequel of author Keri Arthur's Dark Angels
series.
The suspense and mystery will keep you glued to the book,
unable to put it down, while the magic and some of the
mystical beings will make you want to hide. My small
complaint is that I believe Azriel might have been forgiven
too quickly and forgave her too easily but a lot of truth
comes out in a few short pages that I think will be a
relief for those rooting for them both.
Without using spoilers I will admit I was glad to see one
of the antagonists finally be removed from the storyline
and cannot wait to see how the next book will wrap up all
the lives and loves we have come to know. I will be sad to
see the end of this series but I cannot wait to get my
hands on that book.
