Darklight audiobook

Three words; Sonny is MINE! or impressive, exciting &captivatingI was even more impressed with Darklight than it's predecessor Wondrous Strange. Livingston was able to weave an unpredictable and entertaining plot, with all the characters that I had grown to love in Wondrous Strange. Not to mention characters that were re-introduced like... Fennrys. Where did this delicious dish come from! I'll have seconds please!I loved the elements of the Otherworld, Livingston has a beautiful writing style that makes you feel like you are there with the character, just awesomely captivating descriptions without being overly detailed.This is definitely a series that you will want to read in order. There are a lot of references to the previous novel and there are some character histories that wouldn't be clear had you not read the first novel. As with most novels in the middle of a series there are some questions left unanswered but there are some huge revelations as well.I love Livingston's story telling ability. There is something in the way that she tells a story that is addicting. Awesome fae series. I can't wait to read the next novel!

Lesley Livingston weaves a unforgettable story that will captivate you long after the last page. Once you pick this book up it will be impossible to set it down. You will take it to work with you and hide it under your desk until no one is looking, stay up late with a flashlight long into the early morning hours and fake deathly illnesses to finish this book. And once you have finished it you will mark your calendar and count down the days until the next one arrives. Fans of Wicked Lovely and The Mortal Instruments series will not be disappointed in this magical tale of love found and love lost.

Darklight is yet again another magical, action packed installment of one of the best faerie series I've ever read! I love how this book continues to enlighten the reader with character development. I strongly feel I know more about these characters with every page I read. My favorite aspect of this second book is experiencing the faerie realm. Lesley's choice of words to describe the fae world sparkled (literally!) in my mind with beautiful images. I once again fell in love with Sonny, however I also started to warm up to other male companions too. Kelley, remained my favorite strong willed female protagonist that I wouldn't mind hanging out with if she was an actual person in real life. I also enjoyed all the twists and turns, Lesley never disappoints with the act of surprise. If you haven't noticed I LOVE this series and will eagerly anticipate the third book which unfortunately comes out next year, I think? I strongly recommend you pick up Wondrous Strange and Darklight if your a fan of beautifully written YA fantasy books.

A really amazing sequel that was so magical and whimsical. I don't why I didn't pick this book up sooner because I love some good old Shakespeare.

Livingston follows up Wondrous Strange with a perfect combination of suspense, action, and romance in Darklight. After I finished reading Wondrous Strange last year, I jumped online to find out if there would be a sequel and I had to bite my nails because I didn’t have an answer. So, imagine how thrilled I was to finally get the news of a sequel, I was practically grinning for ear to ear.I love the characters in this series. Livingston did an amazing job! Kelley and Sonny have been through so much as a couple and we get to see how their love stands the test of time plus other interferences that may or may not have any bearings on their relationship. Can these two catch a break? Puck and Tyff (Kelley’s Roommate) provide comic relief – I was constantly laughing at these two. I also found myself crushing on Fennrys, one of the Janus Guards. He had some great moments in this installment. The villains in this book were even creepily fantastic.Livingston provided some unforeseen twist and turns in Darklight that had me on pins and needles which forced me to read Darklight in one sitting. Some answers are resolved while others are left for the next installment. I can’t wait to see how Kelley, Sonny and the rest of the gang fare after the events in this installment!

I wish I had read these books all together instead of waiting so long after I read the first book, but once I got into the story and remembered what happened in the first book, it was easy enough to get back into things.I'm a big fan of Kelley and Sonny and I want to see them able to be together in the end, but many books have proven to me that I don't always get what I want! The ending of this book leaves things very much in the air. It's not a huge cliffhanger, but we do know by the end that there is more to the story coming.I enjoy the return of Bob, Fennrys, and Tyff. I love these secondary characters very much and begin to love them more in this book. I'm not sure what I think of Maddox and Chloe really, but it's nice to see returning characters, especially when they can bring some knowledge to the story.I'm glad I have the third book ready to go so I can continue with the story instead of waiting like I did last time.If you like Fairy books and stories filled with action and mystery, you're going to love this series.

ooooh the Plot thickens. I am loving this series.

"Hendes sarkasme var et godmodigt hint til Sonny om at droppe den overdrevne bekymring. Hun kunne godt passe på sig selv. Og hvis det blev nødvendigt, kunne hun også passe på ham."Efter en god, men måske en smule træg start på serien med bogen 'Kelley' (læs min anmeldelse her), var det virkelig fedt at starte på 'Sort Lys' og blive kastet direkte ind i en spændende fortsættelse.Historien starter et halvt års tid efter sidste bog sluttede og det halve år, har egentligt bare været stille og roligt og hverdagsagtigt for vores to hovedpersoner.Sonnys hverdag foregår i feverdenen, hvor han kæmper mod de sidste jægere, så han endelig kan vende tilbage til Kelley - der får dagene til at gå med teater og med at lære sig selv og sine kræfter at kende. "Og Sonny? En smule medfølelse kan være ret sexet." Men der er problemer allevegne - Kelley bliver jaget af én, der mener at hun har noget af hans og i feverdenen, bliver Sonny klar over, at ikke alt er så ligetil og selvom han gerne vil tilbage til Kelley, er der nogle ting han bliver nødt til at ordne inden han kan...Både Kelley og Sonny holdt jeg, om muligt, mere af i denne bog. Jeg elsker hvordan de begge vokser med opgaverne, hvordan de fortsat lærer af hinanden og hinandens fejltrin og hvordan de stadig, på trods af deres forskelle, konstant støtter hinanden og fungerer som hinandens modstykke. Denne bog er langt mere alvorlig end den første og selve stemningen er også tydeligt mørkere end hvad vi oplevede i 'Kelley'. Det gjorde selvfølgelig læseoplevelsen mere dyster og nerverne sad ude på tøjet, for det virkede som om, at farerne lurede ved hver vendt side.Heldigvis har Livingston vægtet humoren højt i historien og midt i alvoren var der gjort plads til et fnis eller to over Bobs (Puck) humor, Kelleys sassy væremåde eller en anden løjerlig situation. De små sjove bidder gjorde læsningen underholdende, frem for tung og deprimerende og det hele flød bare rigtig godt. "Alfer lyver ikke, Sonny." Slutningen var virkelig barsk og hjerteskærende og jeg havde både kuldegysninger og tårer i øjnene, da jeg vendte sidste side af bogen.Det var uden tvivl en virkelig god og spændende 2'er, der efterlod mig hungrende efter mere.

I started Darklight right after finishing Wondrous Strange. It was heartbreaking how Kelley and Sonny found each other only to be separated. I felt for both of them over how they each struggled with missing the other.I didn’t like Kelley much in this second book. Sure, I get she was testing her powers but I hated her lack of faith in Sonny. Also, what was she doing with Fennrys? I know she wasn’t unfaithful to Sonny but she still didn’t do anything to discourage Fennrys either.I guess Sonny was the one I felt super bad for. He was so lonely, out there fighting for his King, trying to make up for his mistake with Mabh and having to fend off for himself.Bob was pretty cool in Darklight, giving advice and trying to do the right thing.Darklight also further elaborated on the other elements of the Faerie world and its rulers. I have to say I liked Mabh a lot even though she was a dark queen. She had style.I also liked the interesting twist to the story with the addition of the Greenman. It added a whole new outlook to the events in Wondrous Strange.Kelley redeemed herself in my eyes with her actions. My heart went out for Sonny at the ending. He just couldn’t seem to catch a break.Darklight was even better than Wondrous Strange with a fantastic cover, packed with a lot of action and new developments.Posted on Blog
