Into the Darkness by K.F. Breene
5.0
I've been promising myself I would re-read this series for over a year now. The first time I read it I wasn't writing reviews on here, I knew I had enjoyed this story - why else would I have bought the rest of the series and other books by the author? However exactly why I'd enjoyed it, and whether it would live up to my fuzzy memories, remained to be seen.
I was quite surprised when I got to the end of Into the Darkness, it felt as though we had only just dipped our toes into this strange world found within the shadows of our own. What didn't surprise me was that I couldn't put the book down and was thoroughly caught up by this fast-paced and entertaining story. The only thing Sasha truly knows is that the men in the shadows truly do exist and she might just have found somewhere she can fit in. I adored her, she has a heart of gold and a strong moral streak. Somewhat crumpled around the edges and desperate for someone to love her, though not in a needy way, Sasha utterly stole my heart. Stefan is a brooding menace of a man (or his species equivalent) but one who will defend Sasha with his very life, so he's pretty ok in my book too.
I both felt and believed in the powerful attraction between our two protagonists. More than mere chemistry, this felt like a fated-mates bond, a connection forged beyond destiny and time. However Sasha is already spoken for and Stefan is fighting the attraction with every fibre of his being, so we only get one truly hot and heavy sexy time to enjoy. Fingers crossed that the next book will have more bedroom shenanigans for our reading pleasure.
I have a massively soft spot for Charles, he's like a very annoying younger brother crossed with a horny dog that wants to procreate with virtually anything that moves. I can't wait to see more of him in future books. I'm also looking forward to finding out more about this new world Sasha has stumbled into.
Content Warning - There are several scenes of dubious consent, some of them are presented in quite a light-hearted way but were an important part of setting the scene; giving us insight into these people and their world.
