Darkness has descended on the Transylvanian Alps.Four packs of the powerful Grey wolves – in a rare show of cooperation – had joined together here in an effort to help their pack members find true mates. Then they were betrayed by one of their own – an Alpha hell-bent on becoming the most powerful of the Canis lupis. And though the wolf's assassination attempt on the currently-reigning Romanian Alpha failed, his plans to get Decebel, the Romanian Beta, out of the picture were coming together even as his treachery was discovered. The wolf fled, leaving destruction, death, and a missing mate behind him.Unbeknownst to the other packs, the wolf has employed a witch to finish the deadly job and help him gain another tool to increase his power. A curse of devastating proportions will cripple Decebel in a way that may dissolve his fragile bond with Jennifer. Meanwhile, injured and alone, Jen has been fighting for her life. She had come to terms with her fate, accepting that she would not share a life with Decebel, until help came in the most unexpected form...
Vasile will have to use all his resources – including Sally, the new gypsy healer of the Romanian pack – to discover a way in which to destroy the witch, lift the curse from Decebel and reunite him with the one woman who makes him whole, and solve a mystery that's been surrounding the Romanian pack for 300 years.
It's no surprise that I love Jen and Dec. They are my favorite couple in the series. Because they are my favorite, this book took me on an emotional, wild ride. Out of the Dark starts out with Jen hurt and wounded. She has faith that Dec will come to save her, but as time goes on, her faith wanes. Not only is she hurt, but she's suffering from withdraws from being away from him. The other issue is that Dec has been cursed. Without revealing too much, let's just say that this curse is causing major issues with his bond with Jen. Can you tell how torn up I was? I mean seriously.
Then, aside from Jen and Dec's troubles, Sally is starting to learn her role within the group. Sally has always been my least favorite, but I have to say that I'm really excited about her characters development. In her new role as Gypsy Healer for the pack, she will face the witch that threatens their lives, as well as find her own true mate. Should be exciting to see!
If you are a fan of YA paranormal romance, look no further! This series is a gem. It's addicting and will keep you on your toes. After every book, I'm left wanting more!
I must confess: I skimmed your review b/c I haven't started the series yet. I do plan to get started in the near (-ish) future though. I'm glad you're enjoying the series.
ReplyDeleteI only just skimmed your review like Andrea did too. I do want to read this series so I don't want to spoil anything for myself. It sounds like a great series and I am glad that you like it!!
ReplyDeleteI love this series. I have read all of Quinn's books twice. Can't wait for Beyond the Veil. I'm sorry Blogger ate your review. Only a fellow blogger can understand how bad that really is. I don't even know if I could remember what I said, but you did a great job.
ReplyDeletei think quinn is a really great author, i got attatched to all the characters and have read the series twice, i love how it got the whole 'everything happens for a reason' thing and right now i think shes done a really good job of tying lose ends the way the reader wants but also being unexpected, i think you did a really good job of explaining the situation simply but also portraying how emotionally this book made you feel.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is The Black Stallion by Walter Farley. His book made me fall in love with reading a series.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your eaten post. My sister told me she just had one eaten and she had been tweaking it for days! She doesn't like her new version as much.
