Fantasy Urban | Romance Paranormal

Darian's Jinn boyfriend, Tyler, left her months ago, and hasn't made contact since. Darian's heartache takes over her life, and she just wants to be left alone. The Shaede king, Xander, has other ideas. One of his favorites, Anya, needs protecting, and he can't think of anyone he can trust more than Darian. Darian begrudgingly agrees, and moves into Xander's home, and soon finds herself conflicted about her feelings toward the king of the Shaede. She doesn't have time to figure them out either, because Anya's enemy is more dangerous than anyone imagined. On top of all this, Tyler returns home with another woman, and a young Shaede named Asher, is really starting to push Darian's patients to its limit. When things turn ugly, Darian must put aside her conflicting feelings and heartache, and take down Anya's enemy before he not only kills Anya, but Darian herself.

Amanda Bonilla has created an urban fantasy filled with fast - paced action. The suspense and unexpected twists, made CRAVE THE DARKNESS a page - turning adventure. Darian is an unusually vulnerable heroine, but this only adds to her powerful and independent air. CRAVE THE DARKNESS is filled with attention - grabbing characters, some of whom have very intriguing secrets. The climax is unanticipated, and the ending rather surprises. The villain is the best part of this book. His underlying conspiracy and unknown deceptions draw the reader in, and the reader will find the villain's presence chilling. Overall, CRAVE THE DARKNESS is a well - written story, and readers will be eager for Darian's next adventure.

SUMMARY

Nothing comes easy for Darian. Her heightened powers make her indispensable to the Shaede Nation, but dangerous missions have driven her lover, Tyler, to his breaking point. Darian must salvage their bond, but a new assignment to protect Anya—a fellow Shaede and the first of their kind to become pregnant in centuries—stands in the way. It doesn't help that the two Shaedes are longtime rivals and share nothing besides mutual hatred. But when it becomes clear that someone—or something—is bent on destroying the expectant mother and her unborn child, Darian must put her feelings aside and track down Anya's would-be assassin. As she probes into Anya's past, Darian digs up long-buried secrets—and a startling connection between Tyler and the mission that could destroy everything between them....
