Dark Halo by Shannon Dittemore
5.0
When the fear starts dripping from my hair, when it snakes itself around my arm and wraps the very hand I just defeated it with--when I find myself suffocating on the black thickness as it pours from my mouth, that's when I know.
I can't win without Jake.
Without the halo.
I'm not strong enough.
I've never been strong enough.
I went into Dark Halo with a whole bunch of mixed feelings. After the ending of Broken Wings I was desperate to find out how things were going to play out. But then on the other hand, knowing that Dark Halo was the last book in the trilogy, I really didn't want it to be all over. But in the end, my need for answers on what the outcome would be for Brielle and Jake outweighed anything else.
Dark Halo kicks off right after the heartbreaking conclusion to Broken Wings. War rages in the skies above and Jake is gone. Snatched away by the evil that is Damien. After the discovery of information in the chest, Brielle sets out with her best friend Kay and vows to find Jake. What she doesn't count on is the offer that she receives from The Prince of Darkness. A halo that will allow her an escape from the things she see's and the promise of a lifetime with Jake.
It doesn't matter how far Jake is from me. Doesn't matter what fills the chasm that separates us. It only matters that he can't be separated from the love of the One who has the power to save him. And as painful as it is to admit it, that's not me.
I can't save him.
But I can fight.
Brielle's gift is sight. And as the battle between good and evil intensifies the impact on the town is there for Brielle to plainly see. She see's so much fear. The town is oozing in it. And that's when Brielle questions whether she can handle any more of it and the escape offered by the Prince of Darkness begins to hold more and more appeal.
I've said it before about Shannon Dittemore's writing. It is quite simply, beautiful. All of us have been given the same words to use when we form sentences. But Shannon Dittemore take's the very same words that you or I have and places them together so that they form stories that are dark and evil and twisted but written with such beauty.
The Angel Eyes trilogy got better with each book. Not just slightly better, Shannon Dittemore raised the bar higher each and every time. Her descriptions during each moment of the story are so vivid. The growth of the characters, not just through Dark Halo but throughout the whole trilogy was superb.
Dark Halo was amazing. People always describe a book as one that they can't put down, but that was truly the case with this book. It was overflowing with action but it was also jam packed with emotion. There are secrets revealed and discoveries made. It was the absolute perfect conclusion to the Angel Eyes trilogy. I'm so sad to see it come to an end. I could read a thousand angel and demon books and love each and every one of them, but none will be written or have the same impact as the Angel Eyes trilogy.
5/5 Amazing Stars.
