It's a quick read if that's what you're looking for, but grips your throat on the first page and never lets go. Revolution, possession, plots, spies, secret histories and more.
Also, this book has one of the most memorable and believable enemies to lovers arcs I've read in a while.

All of the predictions I made as I was reading were wrong, which is a good thing! I didn’t find The Darkening predictable or cliche at all.
The last half of the book is especially thrilling with shades of Hell Bent and Red Queen.
Yeah, no complaints at all. Can’t for book 2.
