Chasing Darkness ~ Review

Chasing Darkness 

by Julie Cassar

As Cecelia Walker embraces her gift of stealing Light, she learns of the horror that lurks in every shadow. A hellacious evil force seeks to quench its insatiable hunger for power. Which souls will fall in the path of its destruction?

Angels, Anninox, and other-worldly warriors wreak havoc and join in the battle for souls, while CeeCee and Cash find themselves as pawns in the center of this deadly game. Chasing the Darkness, they discover that all choices come with a cost. Will her power be enough to save them, or will it be used against her as Dark forces invade every inch of her life and threaten to drive a wedge between these long-lost soulmates?

Chasing Darkness brings back everything I loved about Stealing Light!, September 21, 2017 

There is so much going on in this world to keep you entertained...a classic good vs. evil with angels, fallen, the darkness that follows them, & an emotional avalanche that you don't even realize is upon you until it slams into your heart at full speed. Oh the feels!! 

Cash is back in full on protective smexy mode. Yet my favorite moments were him holding his girl tight ... his whole demeanor sends shivers down the spine with this tender loving attitude that is drool worthy. (Specifically a particular scene where she may have had a bit more "spirit" than expected.) I sure missed CeeCee & her snarky lil' self. She amuses me with her solo debates & sassy commentaries, & I admire how much she's grown emotionally & magically. (Not that you have much choice when some of the most powerful dark forces are determined to steal your light.) I enjoyed every minute of Azazel & his cronies battling it out. Then there's the newest guardian thinking he's all smooth & debonair while some might argue he's more of a pain in the arse. 😂

That ending though!!!!!! 😱

Of course, I have questions & am in need of book 3 ASAP!!!

A Plague of Dragons

Coming Soon!

From the visionary minds of six prolific authors comes a mesmerizing collection of dragons.

Brutality by Michael K. Rose 

For generations, the dragons have come to feed. The islanders have grown accustomed to death and destruction, but behind the creatures’ brutality lies a horrifying secret that could be the key to their ultimate defeat.

Molten Heart by Katie Salidas 

She doesn’t know he’s a dragon, and Dax would prefer to keep it that way. But when another of his kind threatens to destroy Jane’s island home, Dax will have to reveal his true form, and risk losing her forever to save her.

Flame and Form by Jenna Elizabeth Johnson

When Brienne intervenes on behalf of a draghan, a wild, fire-breathing beast from the realm of Firiehn, she only means to save the creature from a fate worse than death. What Brienne doesn't realize, however, is that this monster is cru-athru, a shapeshifter capable of transforming into a man, one whose very presence heats her blood like draghan fire.

Lucidium: Rise of the Dragons by Alexia Purdy 

Dragons weren’t meant to be caged. Catori must escape an ancient order bent on hunting down the last of her kind or face certain extinction.

A Cold Fire by Jason Lavelle 

Jenisia was only a girl when her family was murdered before her eyes. Instead of breaking her spirit, the tragedy shaped Jenisia into a weapon, an instrument for revenge against the fierce dragon race that terrorizes their world. But despite her cunning and her skills, Jenisia might not be strong enough to face these real demons.

The Sky Hunter by David Jones 

Stolen as a child and raised by an advanced race of dragons on an island in the sky, Ilana is blessed with a suit of armor that grants her extraordinary abilities. But when she's shot out of the sky and crash lands on the surface world, she discovers the grisly truth about what humanity has become and why she was raised to be a deadly weapon.

Paranormal, thriller, guardian angels, demons, fallen, seers, supernaturals, family, emotions, awesome fight scenes, suspense, & so much more!, May 6, 2016 Julie Cassar never ceases to amaze me, & Stealing Light is definitely on my favorites list! This story is different from anything I've read lately & seriously rocks!!! The perfect balance of suspense, angst, romance (in between saving the world & all), & hotness. I am seriously in awe of the characters & worlds she creates. She doesn't miss a beat. All bases covered!!  Personally, I read a variety of genres (although my faves tend to be YA paranormal romances. Don't get me wrong, there are many adult books I have enjoyed as well, but it seems the new norm is all about the sex & not much else.) I adore romance, but I also want adventure, action, comedy, etc. And I LOVE thrillers & suspense like no other!  So, I always appreciate romance done tastefully!! A great romance must also have a great story with it, & Cassar never disappoints. I appreciate how she creates those steamy scenes without over sharing. Not to mention all of the other awesomeness she packs in. Her stories always succeed in transporting me to these far away worlds she magically weaves & I can't wait to see what is to come!! BTW... There are only a few authors that I have found that can truly make me laugh hysterically through the trembles and/or tears. You know, that whole anguished snort cry with fluids flying both directions...yep THAT Happened! I believe anyone who enjoyed her previous works will adore this one too. It's her style of writing that draws us in. Of course, the characters too, but they are addicting because of the unique spin she gives them. For all of the Cassar newbies ~ I have no doubt she will win you over as well! Enjoy!! Get your copy on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, & Kobo!
