I was born to hunt the evils hiding in this world. To slay and destroy.
My purpose was never supposed to be her. My forbidden soulmate. Protecting her was meant to be temporary—I’d stay close until I was certain she was safe, and then I would walk away.
I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with her, and I sure as hell wasn’t supposed to take her to my bed. I’d heard my entire life that touching her would only bring us to our deaths.
Except that with my mere touch, power flows through Aria in a way it never has before, and it’s becoming clear that our gods lied to keep us separated and weak.
Together, our strength feels unstoppable. But the monsters hunting her are more sinister than we could have imagined—a threat that could end all humanity.
Will our newfound powers be enough to save us?
*Walking in Darkness is book two in the Darkness Duet. Please read the first book, Visions of Darkness, before enjoying this one.
Aria and Pax are back! Their work here is just about to become more intense than they could've thought.
We start with Aria seeing her mum and siblings and having a conversation about everything. What seemed like a turning point for them to rebuild and reconnect again as a family, it wasn't long before things went south. Like seriously, the second everyone went inside the house this crazed person on a bike went for Aria.
So much for that moment. Aria and Pax quickly deal with that situation and get back on the road. Not long after is when Aria finally remembers where she heard the name of the guy causing all of this.
As if things weren't already complicated, they are going to shake things up even more when they suggest that everyone come together in the day. Perhaps what they were told wasn't the right thing after all. Everyone must come together and be together at all times. Not just for safety with the recent news of fellow members being hunted and taken out but they are actually stronger together.
But the best part of it all? Oh, it had to be that ending. In true A.L. fashion she gives us that HEA we all come to expect and love.
Aria and Pax are together. They have this new expanded family. Everything is going great and they are truly free to forever have that. Them and their soon to be new addition will be all they need to worry about. No more dropping into another world, not when they finally won saved it.
