A review by amarylissw
Darkness Becomes Her by Kelly Keaton
4.0
This story was drenched in setting and mythology, which I loved. Ari was a very likable and strong protagonist, and although the rest of the cast was a bit more subpar, they were decent enough for a first book. Plenty of action, and twists and turns.
I do, of course, have a few negative comments. For one, we are faced with yet another disappointing romance: Ari and Sebastian, who barely know each other and yet have that inexplicable "connection" (note: I am saying that in a mocking manner) make out before 100 pages are out. Seriously, what.
Secondly, although I liked the mythology aspects of the story, I felt like Athena was acting very . . . well, ungoddess-like. She wasn't regal or powerful; she just seemed like a spoiled brat with no real motivation to me. What a disappointing antagonist.
Despite its flaws, though, I enjoyed this book and it was certainly a page-turner.
