Dark Promise by Danielle Rose

5.0

Last book left us with Liv in danger. Ava feels compelled to help free her. Liv was her best friend before Ava turned vampire and she feels a connection to her, even if it’s not reciprocated. She can’t stand the thought of Liv possibly dying at the hands of Rogues and is desperately trying to figure out how to save her.
Amica is the head of the vampire nest. She is trying to protect Ava and makes her swear a blood oath. This will prevent Ava from searching for Liv alone. She makes her do this because Amica has decided that the nest will not help the witches. This leaves Ava in distress.
Jasik is Ava’s sire. A blood oath should only be sworn between to a sire. When Jasik finds out that Amica forced Ava to do a blood oath, he is furious. Ava is his, but Amica is his sire and leader of the nest. This puts him in a precarious situation.
On top of all this, a new vampire appears. Will shows up to Ava in her dreams. He is a hybrid too, part witch, part vampire. He has learned how to handle both parts of his essence, Is he the answer to all of Ava’s questions? Only time will tell.
Opinion
I loved this book! There are so many twists that it is hard to guess what will happen next. I certainly did not predict how the book would end. I’m certainly (not so) patiently waiting for the next book in this series. 
I’m a bit upset that I’m halfway through the series though. How can there only be five books. There needs to be more! Five is not enough!
Overall, there are so many subplots that I find it hard to pick my favorite. This latest edition in the Darkhaven series does not disappoint. It does leave me with lingering questions though.
*Can a witch/vampire forsake one side of their essence and embrace the other?
*Will Ava and Jasik ever give in to their desires for each other?
*Can the witch coven and the vampire nest learn to coexist, if only for the benefit of Ava?
*How does Will affect the relationship between Ava and Jasik? Will he become the new beau?
*How will Amica make it up to Ava (and by extension Jasik) for forcing her to do a blood oath?
*How does the final scene affect the relationships between Ava and: the coven, the nest and Will?
*How is Danielle Rose such a genius? I mean, really! This series is phenomenal.
