A review by hookedbythatbook
Dark Heart by Donna Grant

4.0

Nothing is as it seems and loyalties are tested in this thrilling second chance romance driven by revenge. 

The beginning was phenomenal. My heart was in my throat for most of the time, especially when we were in Jai’s head where his thoughts were dominated by pain and vengeance. It was obvious that there was a colossal misunderstanding somewhere, but it was difficult to see how Arya and Jai would find their way to forgiveness. 

We encountered some old friends from previous books and were introduced to a few new intriguing characters. Dain was a mystery that begged to be resolved. The rest of the book was our heroes doing their best to be brave and, well, heroic. Despite some slow parts where Arya was wandering through the fort, the action overall was fast and furious, and I became very invested in who these “masters” were. Jai and Arya deserved their second-chance happy ending and I was pleased for them. 

I can highly recommend this entire universe of books if you like shifters, fae, elves, magic, thrilling action, and steamy romance. Even though this forms part of Donna Grant’s Dark World, this series works well on its own, though you do need to read the books in the series in order. 

Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
