A review by virgo_reader
Dark Skye by Kresley Cole

1.0

While I struggled with an earlier book (Dreams of a Dark Warrior), I was still engaged with it. This book, which I was actually looking forward to... I just couldn't stand. 

Melanthe and Thronos were childhood friends in warring groups (Sorceri and Vrekeners) until ~betrayal~. Then they were enemies who happened to be mates. Melanthe spent her life running from him until she was caught. Dun dun dun. 

There was just... so much bleakness in this book. Melanthe has been with others sexually and she's sex shamed so much. Vrekeners are holier than thou police angels. I just didn't click with them or the story and I barely made it through. 

Maybe I need to revisit later and change my mind - but ugh.
