4.0

as predicted, the sequel got much better than the first book. I’m the type of reader that gets really wrapped up and attached with characters, which is why series tend to work best with me. this is no exception. i still don’t think there is a really strong and obvious plot here, but it’s developing as the world expands and the story gets more intricate and complex. eli is the best part of this series and i just know my heart will break reading his novella next.

fans of savage lands should really pick this up!

No words - so much happened.

Just when you think you know what’s going on and who you’re rooting for Stacey pulls the rug out from under you. She’s the queen of slow burn and “I hate that I live you” energy. She did not disappoint in this book. I was absolutely shocked to find out Kennedy is a Druid and Embers mom is ALIVE!

After that ending of the previous book I just had to dive straight into this one. This one felt more complex and invested in the story and characters. I love the interactions between the two main characters but also the side characters who are also coming into their own. Stacey Marie Brown is a fantastic author and one to watch.

That ending... Ugh, killer! Three years?! Half of me wants to scream and the other half wants to jump Eli. This series just gets more amazing with this second installment. I absolutely can not get enough and wish the third book was already out! Fire In The Darkness reveals so many secrets, harbors so much angst and explosive moments, and of course is so deliciously sexy.

If it wasn't possible... I just loved Eli even more in this one. Torin is still a sweetheart, yeah, and loves Em but he just doesn't do it for me like Eli does. And, gosh dang on toast was Eli sexy as hell in this book! He's constantly fierce, and protective, and seductive, and strong, and just unf! No matter if he was fighting with Ember or not, I just love every scene he's in. Especially some peanut butter and some forest time ;).

Ember, yet another character and protagonist I just adore. I love how determined and focus she constantly stays and yet at the same time still feels remorse for the things she has done. I love that she can pack one heck of a punch and not let anyone step all over her.

There were so many pleasant surprises in this book and I was so gosh darn happy with them all, yet at the same time the ending kind of shocked me. It makes me nervous for book three, but I wish it was March because I need it now!!! Overall, I think this book was even better than the first! I absolutely love this series!
