Darkness Awakened by Katie Reus
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was given this for an honest review.

Love and taking chances goes hand and hand.
Now what would you do if the lover that scorned you was the only one you can trust to help save your child? That is the current problem for Vampire Lyra Marius. Struggling with the lie she has carried for 17 years.After her so called love told her they couldn't have a future. Now confronting her secret and getting her teenage daughter back will force her to confront hard truths about her one true love Werewolf Finn Stavros.

I will admit the beginning was a little hard for me to praise not for the writing but it just didn't click at first for ME... I am so happy to have just kept reading b/c I was flying through the book after a while. LOL I read the book in 1 sitting and I loved the story. The author did a bang up job with backdrop and supporting characters. Her writing was fresh and creative. She had a great blend of the mystery and action with a splash of some hot sex. What more can you ask for? I myself enjoyed reading this new series' first installment. I am dying to know what happens with Drake and Victoria.

Kiss The Night Goodbye by Keri Arthur
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The 4th installment of Nikki and Michael has to be my favorite hands down!
Love the basis of the book!! Michael's past creeps up and puts a wrench in things for the happy couple.
The battle between good and evil has never been so good, as it is in the 4th book.
Michael and Nikki are planning a wedding, just not before she passes the final test the Circle has to offer. These two are really on the same page now and you can't help but cheer them on! Upon completing the entry exam for the circle Nikki is devastated when Michael's past nemesis' twin rises up with a well laid plan and kidnapped him.
The Phrase "all in good time" really works here. Nikki has to infiltrate the old western set town and resurrect Michaels memories and kill the bad guys. Easier said than done.

I loved the banter between Michael and Nikki (under guise as another), how their love sounds true even though Michael thinks he doesn't know her!! I feel Keri Arthur really kicked this book into gear, I loved it. So much action and suspense. Read it in 2 sittings and now I am dying to see whats next with the Damask Circle.
So many questions were answered in this book it anchored them all together, with the sweetest ending you could ask for !!!
