Reaper comes out of a long hibernation into a world that is changed, but the first thing he sees is Greer a healer/dragon shifter and someone he wants badly. Too bad he feels a DARKNESS RISING that has awoken him and many other ancients. He must find out the danger, learn this new world and become the mate of Greer. Simple for an ancient dragon shifter. Too bad he irritates the heck out of Greer.
Greer has, for many many years, used her abilities to heal and feels she is the total opposite of the ancient irritant that dared to breath fire at her. But when he needs to find the other ancients and the reason for his sudden awakening, her alpha sends her to New Orleans with him. It must be true love because the ancient fire breather grows on her. The simplicity of her life is about to blow up in her face, and the world will be forever changed in just a few moments.
I have been trying to find the proper words to express my feelings for DARKNESS RISING. Wow and OMG doesn't do it justice at all. I am left with saying that DARKNESS RISING will blow you away! It begins simply enough - an ancient rises from hibernation, adding a couple of unintentional hysterical moments and moves on to the world forever changed. In between these things we watch as Reaper and Greer come to terms with their feelings, fight with and for one another as well as facing the new world. The setting is New Orleans, one of my favorite places to read about and perfect setting for this paranormal. We see a number of other beings from past Katie Reus Darkness books including Nyx, King (the wolf shifter alpha), Justus and Cynara, who finally admit their feelings for one another. An absolutely amazing book that will have you enthralled to the last page.
This is Ms. Reus' finale of her Darkness series but we have been promised that we will not lose this world. She has spinoff plans with new characters and some from this series in the new one. Thank you, Ms. Reus, for a fantastic series and look forward to the next offering.
If you are looking for sexy dragon shifters, a snarky dragon shifter, wolf shifters, demons, hybrids, good guys doing their best to beat the bad guys, love, laughter, steamy amazing moments then I suggest you get your hands on DARKNESS RISING and enjoy.
From USA Today bestselling author Katie Reus comes the
final story in the sensual, pulse-pounding Darkness seriesβ¦
When a bringer of deathβ¦
Awakened after millennia, dragon warrior Reaper is ready to
fulfill his destinyβ¦until he sees Greer. With one glimpse,
everything Reaper has ever known throughout his very long
life is irrevocably changed. Greerβs his mate, he feels it
in his blood, in his soulβbut convincing her is another
matter. The dragon clan healer finds him obnoxious and
annoying, but he knows a womanβs interest when he smells it.
And Greer smells like one word: mine.
Meets a giver of lifeβ¦
Greer has spent hundreds of years using her healing
abilities for the good of others, making her the polar
opposite of Reaper. The ferocious war general may be an
ancient, but his arrogance proves he hasnβt spent any of
that time learning about women. Greer is displeased when her
Alpha sends her to New Orleans with the insufferable
warriorβthen she sees him in action against a menace
threatening to tear the city apart. Fierce, protective,
magnificentβ¦mate-worthy. Maybe opposites do attract, but if
they want to live long enough to find out, theyβll first
have to save the world teetering on the brink of obliteration.
