Wow! This was a fantastic read. Amazing and fun characters, incredible world building. Normally, I'm not too fond of amnesia stories but something really drew me into this story. We have this fierce warrior and diverse group of friends. I really enjoyed it. I didn't know (until the blurb) that this was a spin-off of another series. I have never read this author before, I may have to check out her other books!

I enjoyed Francesa and Felix together. This does have a slower start for me. This has amazing world building and writing. I loved the characters along with the action, adventure, and twists. I am very excited to read more of this series.

Dark Hauntings is the first book in C.C. Solomon’s Paranormal Times series and while this book has a bit of a rocky start, it gets better as it goes along and really caputres your attention. Fran, a half demon and half fae, has had her memories wiped away. But while the angels have made an attempt at restoring what they took away, a lot is still missing from what she remembers. In a bid to get some information from one of the angels, Fran and a group of “friends” go to a small town in search of some rogue angels. A nasty and dark mystery is waiting, but there will be more answers along the way as well.
Dark Hauntings really piqued my interest with the blurb, but the prologue and the first few chapters almost had me throw in the towel when it came to reading this book. When I started reading I honestly thought that maybe this book was a spin-off from a different series, or that there was a prequel that I should have started with to lay the real groundwork. I was dropped into the middle of a battle, and then the author fast-forwards two months. Everything really felt already established and in progress.
Once I got my footing with the story I was able to get into it. So if the first few chapters throw you for a loop...just hang in there. Once I was able to get into the story I was easily pulled in and this book really becomes a page-turner. The characters are interesting, but the predicament/situations that they find themselves in...are even more so. I love the twists, the surprises and the unique developments. The revelations in some cases literally had my jaw on the floor.
This book could have easily been a five star novel if the prologue and the first few chapters had been worked better. As it is, for me, they are disjointed and end up taking away from the story instead of adding to it and setting the necessary groundwork. I’m choosing to rate this book though 4.5 out of 5 stars. Despite the debacle with the beginning, this book gets to be really good and I’m glad I slogged through the first part. I’m looking forward to what this author writes next in book two.

OMGOMGOMG! Where do I begin yall? This book was phenomenal! It took some time to read as it is so full and vivid that I was literally picturing these events in my mind! I'm now in love with Felix! But let me stop before I get too far ahead of myself. Please start by reading all 4 of the paranormal books and the 3.5 novella for sure! This book Dark Hauntings is new and fresh, yet it brings it all together! Don't assume you won't need the stories to come! Look these stories scare me and intrigue me, AND incite love! Well don't wait up, GET TO READING!
