⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes. Finn was feeling a little left out once his friends all found love, until Vaila came looking for him.
She came to destroy me. Now I’ll burn the world to keep her. She gets beneath my skin. Haunts my thoughts. Strips away my control. And I keep going back for more. Every glance pulls me deeper. Every touch weakens my grip. And when she looks at me with those silver eyes full of secrets and fury, I know I’m already lost. Something dark is closing in around us. Power is shifting. Truths are unraveling. And the woman I can’t stay away from may be the key to it all. I should walk away before she ruins me. Before this obsession consumes us. But when she’s in my arms, nothing else matters. Not the lies. Not the danger. Not even what’s coming. Because once I claim something as mine, I never let it go. And I’m beginning to realize she was always meant to be mine.
MY THOUGHTS
As usual, the author kept dropping new information like little breadcrumbs, just enough to keep you hooked. Vaila was an interesting character. She came across as abrasive and unapproachable, and it was no wonder that her initial attempts at engaging Finn only resulted in suspicion.
Finn and Vaila were drawn to each other and it became even more obvious after an unexpected passionate kiss. But her self-imposed task of vengeance and the disturbing events on Skye made any connection between them murky and insecure.
The plot was set up slowly, piece by piece, until things came to a head, resulting in a fast-moving, explosive confrontation. It was fabulous seeing all the druids work together and Vaila coming into her full potential. Of course, this wasn’t the “final” final anything, our heroes still have a lot of work ahead of them.
Listen, there might have been some slow parts to this story and I wasn’t all that invested in Finn and Vaila as a couple, but Donna Grant is a master at crafting magical battles that will leave you breathless. Every moment in this book led to this one and it was truly awesome. I have no words.
Between Twilight is book 9 in the Skye Druids series and I definitely recommend that you read the series in order, otherwise you will miss too much world building. If you can, read some of the other books that all form part of this interconnected Dark World.
Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
