2.5 stars. Her dialogue is always so awkward but her action and storyline keep me coming back.

This book is a must read if you have enjoyed the Otherworld series. It is an extremely fast read that you will not want to put down. Camille is facing Hyto, Smoky's father in this novel. I would not call this book easy going, it is rather dark. You will see how strong Camille is and how her character's strength continues to grow both emotionally and magically. I really can't say much more without giving away things, so I will just tell you now to go purchase this book when it comes out!
I would suggest reading Iris's story before reading Courting Darkness. Parts of Iris's story are mentioned a few times in this book, but it does not require reading it to fully understand.
Iris's story is located in the book Hexed, it is named Ice Shards, the book also includes 3 other novellas from other authors.

I have enjoyed every other book in this series so far, but Camille is getting on my last nerve. She is very full of herself as far as her looks go, and since she is narrating the story we get to hear about that for he first half of the book. Also, Camille's stories are getting very 'porn'y. I skipped pages trying to get past the gratuitous sex scenes and back into the story.
About halfway through the book it got better. Camille stopped talking about her sex appeal as much and the story got meatier. I think this was a bit darker than the other stories, and I didn't enjoy it as much as I do the ones told from the other sisters POV, but I finished it. And I will keep reading her stories just so I don't get lost when reading the rest of he series.

I love this series and Galenorn rarely disappoints. I love finding out more and more about the characters and their pasts, and how their relationships evolve. I am impatiently waiting for #11 to come out in February!

This book was way too dark for my tastes and I felt like it should have had a disclaimer about triggering content.
I was quite uncomfortable, for lack of a better word, by the way Camille 'handled' being raped by her father in-law by telling herself that her sister survived being brutalized and raped so she could too.
Prior to this book, the series had been dark but not to this emotional and psychological extent.

Wow, does Camille have to face a ton in this book! Poor Smoky to have him as a dad! But Camille is strong and this made her stronger by surviving it! I need to read more!

I. Loved. It.
Though darker in the story line than the previous installments to the series, it's definitely necessary. The events of this book are important aspects to not only the story line, but are also important to the characters growing, changing, and evolving. Even though this book focuses on Camille, there is important internal growth for a few other characters as well, most noticeably her sister Delilah and their family friend Chase.
The events that Camille suffers through, cements her bond with her family and her husbands, most significantly Smoky. They also help prepare her for her initiation into the Court of Darkness which in turn will aid in her coming fight with Shadow Wing. And all of it leads to some very powerful allies...
