Fantasy
What Goodreads says:
"She's
fought death and won. But how can she fight her fears?
Avry
knows hardship and trouble. She fought the plague and survived. She took on
King Tohon and defeated him. But now her heart-mate, Kerrick, is missing, and
Avry fears he's gone forever.
But there's a more immediate
threat. The Skeleton King plots to claim the Fifteen Realms for his own. With
armies in disarray and the dead not staying down, Avry's healing powers are needed
now more than ever.Torn between love and loyalty, Avry must choose her path
carefully. For the future of her world depends on her decision."
Taste of Darkness is the third and final book in
the Healer series. Do not read
this as a stand alone. It starts
with Avry waking up and finding Kerrick gone. There is no lead up to the opening, no explanation of who Avry or Kerrick are, and no explanation of what has gone on before. It is like you have reading a scene in
book two and finished that scene in book 3. There is some backstory worked in later but it was more a reminder
of things past for people who were reading the entire series. That said it is a great finish to the
series.
Look for all the familiar character
to make an appearance. There are
surprises, a lot of danger, some romance and a lot of edge of your seat scenes
in Taste of Darkness. Right up
until the end this book is true to the title and is filled with very dark
scenes. The book is well written
and the plot well developed. The
characters stay true to form. After looking like nothing is going to work out everything
comes to a satisfying conclusion and it is easy to say good by to Avry, Kerrick
and the whole gang knowing they are headed for a life full of challenges after
defeating danger.
Harlequin published Taste of Darkness
by Maria V. Snyder in 2013.
I receive an ARC of Taste of
