Mine. Mine. Mine ! Lorcan is mine !

This series is amazing, the second book from this saga but the last book for this couple (Kennedy and Lorcan) .. I don’t what to say except, if you haven't read or started this series I don't know what you are waiting for .. if you are looking for a sexy, funny book, with alphaholes, strong FMC, sassy lines and an amazing storyline .. this book is for you ! This series is for you .. wait ! This author is for you !

Kennedy matures! Kennedy is really falling into her new role here, and is becoming more in touch with who she really is.

“𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴. 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘱 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰’𝘴 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥.”

While Kennedy is maturing, and her relationship with Lorcan is healing, we are also treated to a dangerous secret mission across the globe. We also meet / are reunited from more characters from the 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 series. And there’s a pretty epic battle to finish things off.

Things have been developing since the 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 series, through the 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴, and now into the 𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 saga seem to finally be coming to a head. Onto the next!

What this book is giving:

✅ Forced proximity

✅ Second Chance

✅ “Mine”

✅ Betrayals

✅ Secret missions

✅ Secret family members

Kennedy and Lorcan finally get over themselves! But not for a bit. Kennedy is runningn the Kingdom and she gave Torin back his position of First Knight. I kinda knew he would fall for Kennedy, he seems to fall for anyone who has authority over him. Unfortunately for him, Kennedy doesn't feel the same. She does find a sect of Druids and manages to infiltrate. What's interesting is she finds out the leader is her sister. And another thing is that they both have a natural affinity for Dark Magic, which goes against the natural state of Druids. They are creatures of light, normally. There's a twist in this book that I definitely didn't see coming! I won't spoil it for those who haven't read it yet.

"Holy fractions, shit squared"!!!!!

Never in my life have I wanted to curse and throttle an author so much as I have Stacey while reading this book. Seriously! I have gone through so many emotions I don't think my heart can take much more.

I am never left disappointed when reading Any of Stacey's phenomenal books. She takes us on a twisted, magical journey that takes over every single one of your senses. You feel the fear, the pain, the crunch of broken bodies. You smell the burning and taste the tang of blood on your tongue.

Ken and Lorcan have fast become two of my favourite characters. Their fierceness and rawness commands everyone around them and in this book we see that fierceness at full throttle.

Stacey doesn't hold anything back in this book and she leaves us reeling and begging for our nerves to be calmed. But that's not going to happen.

Something huge is coming, I can feel it and like Ken, I'm scared. I'm scared for all the characters we have come to love in these books and I'm scared of what the outcome will be. I know Stacey is going to put us through the ringer with these next books. I just hope my heart and sanity can handle it.

Stacey, you have once again taken any expectations I could've ever had and blown them out of this world. Your writing is a masterpiece and I'm just in awe of your talent.

I can't wait for 'The Fall Of The King' and the emotional lashing it will sure to bring.

A very, very well deserved 5* from me.

Amazing as always. Kennedy had so much growth and angst in this one, I couldn't help but emphasize with her. I also couldn't put the book down. I really liked Ken from the beginning of the darkness saga, but fell in love with her character in [b:The Crown Of Light|34204997|The Crown Of Light (Lightness Saga #1)|Stacey Marie Brown|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1486615751s/34204997.jpg|55252199], which is the first book in this series. I always, always wonder what happens now. Now that the evil baddie is dead, now that the world has been turned up side down. And with this series we get to see that. Loved every page.
