Oh boy, I love the idea behind Darkhearts so much, but there were points were the ball was dropped. Mostly so in its characters. While I loved Chance as a character, David kinda pissed me off more than anything. I kinda wished that we got to have the book from Chance his point of view instead.
However, that's not to say that David pissing me off makes this a bad book or a bad read. David has his flaws, and he does touch upon those flaws. I just wished that they were worked on earlier in the book and that it wasn't all named and apologised for in the last 5 chapters of the book. If him handling his mistakes had taken more of a place in the plot, I would have liked the book more.
As it is now, still an enjoyable read. I for sure would love to see what more is in store for Chance and David now that they are actually together. A sequel focusing on them dealing with a long distance relationship, one known to the public, while still also learning to be their own persons would be really nice
