Introduction
Dark Obsession is the eighth installment in the "Pure/Dark Ones" series and I absolutely have loved these so much here. I will say that I really have enjoyed the way that this author wrote this one. I think the more that I read this series, the more that I fall in love with it and in this one we are introduced to new characters and the first mention of the possibility of DRAGONS (which I know is true as she has a dragon series haha so I hope that they are connected....any of you love this author let me know because I need to know !!) But I absolutely LOVED this book. These two just captured my heart and I honestly don't think I can wait long in picking up the 9th book because its the hero's dads book and many he won my heart too!

Summary
Dark Obsession is a story that begins with our delightful hero, Maximus and his pet or companion I should say. While out on a routine mission meeting up with Ariel Kyles, who is an government agent but also was created in the lab and working for Medusa, she is merged with a black panther's spirit and Ariel who was once without a soul, is now having desires, feelings and raw needs and her connection to Maximus is becoming more tangible than ever imagined. But Maximus and Ariel are on a mission together to explore his other primal side, the one that he has suppressed, and while on his journey they come across family and those living in a hidden world in the wilds of Russia. But there are secrets that out of their control and their love will be tested in ways that they could never imagine...
My Outlook
Dark Obsession was such a brilliant story that had me in love immediately with Maximus and Ariel. I just loved these two together and seeing them grow together in their relationship was so brilliantly done. Honestly, the more that I read this author the more that I fall in love. And honestly the diversity is so flawless and perfectly done. We need more romance with this type of diversity implemented because it just has such a genuine feel to it. I also adored this unique romance that is developed. There is such powerful character growth with both Maximus and Ariel. But my heart honestly broke with the beginning scene. I absolutely adored seeing these two together and the way that they assist each other on their journey. What I really loved was the way that Maximus is able to connect with his father. I don't always love flashbacks, but in this story, I really adored them. I loved the way that we get to meet Maximus' dad haha and man his story just broke me. I can't wait for his book though, because if anyone deserves a mate and to be in love, its most definitely him. I really was floored by the later part of the story, this author really blew my MIND but somehow I had faith that she would deliver the HEA and it was so well done and I can't wait to see our groups of vampires and our animal spirits come together to fight the evil Medusa.
