A review by veronica87
A Darkness Absolute by Kelley Armstrong

4.0

This was a satisfying follow up to last year's [b:City of the Lost|26114566|City of the Lost (Casey Duncan, #1)|Kelley Armstrong|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1461768996s/26114566.jpg|45106832], which I reviewed here. It picks up four months after the events in the first book with Rockton Detective Casey Butler and Deputy Will Anders heading out into the Yukon wilderness to track down and bring back one of the town's AWOL citizens. What they end up finding is more than they bargained for.

I enjoyed getting back to Rockton and seeing how Casey is settling into her new life there as well as seeing how she's handling her new relationship with Sheriff Eric Dalton. We get to meet some more of Rockton's citizens, find out some backstory on ones we met in the last book, and discover that some of the old trouble makers are still around as well. The mystery had me changing my mind about my prime suspect/s several times before the end.

I was glad to read on the author's website that she is contracted for at least four books in the series because I definitely want to read more.
