Her Dark Guardian by Nicola Rose

5.0

Oh My Goodness. I have noooooo idea what to even say about this book. I am at a loss for words.

First, let me warm you it IS Dark. And it's not a traditional HEA ending. But the story was soooooo good! If you love dark, messy, and bittersweet stories then this is the book for you.



Leon has always had and struggled with the darkness inside even as a young boy. He knew one day he would unleash it upon Alice, his forever girl, so he stays in the shadows, always watching, waiting. Stalking. Until one day he is drawn out of the shadows, and into Alice's arms. But even her light can't save him.

Becoming a vampire only heightened his darkness, and pushed him back into the shadows, sending him into his own self-purgatory of hell. Stalking. Being her very own guardian. But what if the one she needs protecting from the most, is Leon himself?



Seriously, this book was so enthralling, having me wanting to read it every spare moment I could, wanting to know how everything played out.

Leon was dark and brooding and broken. He had sadness and darkness locked inside, and I needed to know what made him the way he was, falling for him from the beginning.

Alice was far from perfect, she was flawed but still beautiful. She came into her own, shining despite everything around her.

Leon's and Alice's love was bittersweet. Their story more than just their time together. I loved every second of it. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

And I loved seeing characters from the Elwood Legacy Trilogy again. Although I have to admit it took me too long to realize it
