Darkness Becomes Her by Kelly Keaton
4.0
I actually wanted to give this book 3.5 stars. But then I decided half a star extra for the last twist.
It was really REALLY intense and very un-put-downable. The love story part starts rather suddenly. And by suddenly I mean she passes out, wakes up, realizes he is her one twue wuv and while she was out he too has decided they are meant to be together forever and ever. BAM. Soul mates.
But it eventually turns out ok. I really appreciated how mature he acts about a few situations which I can guarantee another YA author would have exploited for jealous crazy rages. Especially the one at the ball. That was the moment I decided this love story might have more to it than her mooning about his locks of black hair or quicksilver eyes.
As far as heroines go Ari is on the better side of average. She has really badass fighting skills and she uses everything about her to her advantage in a fight. Especially the fact that she's kinda pretty so some idiots think she's weak and a fight will end in an easy win. Then there's how she loves Violet. That's cute. She feels intensely, and her emotions towards her family and Athena are fantastically potrayed.
