After seeing her mother die before her eyes and her
father and uncle engaged in a magic battle, Jessie has been
shuttled from place to place, first as a child and now as
an adult. She tries to make no ties, but affects everyone
she touches. She keeps almost everything in her car in case
her uncle finds her. She doesn't know what she is, but
she's filled with Darkness, an unearthly power that is
triggered by strong emotions.
Lachlan may have driven himself to a monastic existence
due to guilt, but he still loves his brother. So, when his
brother comes home talking of a special girl, and Lachlan's
previously dormant astral projection kicks in, showing a
horrific future, he knows he must do everything he can to
save his brother.
Jessie's mother was caught between brothers, something
that led to the misery Jessie witnessed as a child. Lachlan
holds onto his honor with an iron grip, particularly as his
brother falls into circumstances which have the power to
tear them apart. However, Lachlan and Jessie have a hard
time fighting the chemistry between them as they put their
lives and souls on the lives fighting an evil not born of
Darkness but of selfishness and greed.
DARKNESS BECOMES HER is an excellent stand-alone, but it
makes readers want to grab the rest of the series because
it is
such a fascinating concept. The characters are realistic
and gripping, and the events that occur would seem over-the-
top if written by another, but Rush does an excellent job
conveying the characters' reactions to the events as they
unfold.
A man beyond redemption. A woman beyond hope. And an enemy
who will either kill them...or bring them back from the
edge.
Lachlan McLeod has a mission: find the beast who put his
brother into a coma. He'll start with Jessie Bellandre,
his brother's girlfriend, who's harboring a dark,
dangerous secret that could get them all killed. But as
they plumb the depths of Darkness, and the light he didn't
know existed in his own dark heart, not falling in love
with her will be as hard as staying alive.
