Paranormal Romance
From Goodreads:
There
are no monsters, only good guys and bad guys. That’s the creed by which
Detective Inspector Faith Connolly has always lived.
When
Faith discovers that she has a time bomb counting down in her head, she has one
goal; to solve the murder case she’s working on—a young girl who was found
drained of blood—and in doing so gain closure for a long ago murder never
solved. Her investigation brings her in contact with Ash Delacourt. Ash is all
black leather, big guns and sexy bad attitude—definitely not one of the good
guys.
As
payment for a debt, Asmodai AKA Ash Delacourt, finds himself working with the
Order of the Shadow Accords. He’s the demon representative on the newly formed
Committee for the Integration of Mankind and well…everything else. It’s a
chance to be near his daughter, make a new start, and—once he’s met the
delectable detective—maybe have a little fun.
There are no monsters. But as
Faith’s investigation deepens, her beliefs are eroded and for the first time,
she is falling in love—with one of the bad guys. But how can she ever let Ash
close when her time is running out.
It seems I just could not get
enough of Nina Croft this week. I
received Bittersweet Darkness from Netgalley and read it right after Death
Defying. Bittersweet Darkness is
book three in The Order series and I had not read book one, Bittersweet Blood
or book two, Bittersweet Magic. It did not take me long to see that Bittersweet
Darkness it worked very well as a stand along. I knew I was missing back-story on some of the characters
but there was enough dropped into the dialog and action that I never felt lost.
Faith Connolly is the main female
character in the story and I loved her.
She had a blind spot (there are not monsters) but did not realize it. She was very focused on her job and loyal to the people she
worked for. When she things started
to go wrong she had to move past that blind spot to do what was right. It was very had but she had the
strength to do what needed to be done.
Ash Delacout is the main male
character and he is a monster. He thinks he is unable
to love and knows that even if he is able he is unwilling to love. Faith just knocks him off balance. He has to admit his feelings and accept
that Faith has always acted in an honorable manner.
Throw in the angles who do not want
change, the fact that the modern world is going to discover that demons,
vampires and others are real, that some are working to make sure that happens
in an orderly fashion and the plot points are set up for an exciting story.
There is action, suspense, danger,
and romance all mixed up in a great story. Bittersweet Darkness is a fun quick paranormal read that
held my attention throughout the story.
Entangled: Edge published
Bittersweet Darkness by Nina Croft in 2014.
I received an ARC of Bittersweet
Darkness from Netgalley in return for a honest review.
