“How could he possibly protect the one he must destroy?”–Dom’s thoughts

After getting assaulted, Kate’s luck turns around as she’s rescued by gorgeous Dominic Ridolfi and swept away in an epic romance. Unfortunately, her fairy tale doesn’t end with a happily ever after, and instead morphs into a tale of vampires, werewolves, and a prophesy where she’s the star attraction. Dominic promises to stay by her side forever despite the fact that as a vampire and werewolf, they were born to be enemies. The vampires aren’t going to let their princess go that easily. The werewolves aren’t going to let her live…

“If he was a drug, she was definitely an addict. She’d never get enough of him.”–Kate’s thoughts

I loved this book and was drawn into the author’s world with the great storytelling and descriptive imagery. The book can almost be split into two smaller books–the first being a beautiful romance between two people and the other an urban fantasy where Kate must learn how to fight and accept her role as not only a newly turned vampire but also a princess.

The first half focuses on Kate as a human as she falls in love with Dominic, who has been sent to kill her before she turns. Instead of an assassination and very short book, we get two souls falling in love so sweetly as Dom shows Kate the time of her life, ready to give up everything for her. It almost reads as a contemporary romance with a billionaire hero and sweet heroine aside from the undertones that something is off with Kate as she unknowingly transitions into a vampire. The romance is fantastic, and I would call it medium heat level since there is sexual tension and a sex scene without gratuitous description.

The second half continues with Kate as a vampire and has more of an urban fantasy feel with romantic elements. Not to spoil too much, but Kate gets placed in a love triangle as she tries to navigate the vampiric world. Although a different feel than the first half, it’s fantastic on its own and really brings out the paranormal elements. We also get the mythology behind the two immortal races and prophecy, which was in-depth and thought out.

“Maybe there was no black or white, but varying shades of gray.”–Kate’s thoughts

The characters in the story are great. Kate is a lovely heroine, and I couldn’t help but root for her throughout particularly since she’s so gentle and willing to try hard to not act like a typical vampire. Dom is so romantic that it’s hard to imagine him as a merciless assassin. The banter between Kate and her friends are fun and believable while the banter between the immortals is cold and shows the harsh world they live in. With these characters, it’s difficult to say who is good as bad since they’re all trying to survive with how they were raised to survive.

While much of the book was spent showing Kate and Dom’s love developing and then the implications of it, the ending was quick and leads to many unanswered questions. I hesitate to say you could read this as standalone since the future is still murky despite the resolution. Personally, I’m looking forward to the next volume in this series! Overall, if you enjoy paranormal romance, vampires, and werewolves, make sure you pick this one up! This is a 5 out of 5 for me!

Fall of Darkness The Darkness Chronicles Elle Bright Books Reviews

Fall of Darkness is a great read. The writing is clear, descriptive, and pulls the reader in from the first moments. Full of light, hope and humor in the beginning, this story quickly turns dark and (perhaps) hopeless. The heroine, Kate Murdock, is compelled to live in a world not only not of her choosing, but anathema to the very basis upon which she has built her life. Despite the horror Kate’s life has become, she finds a way to hold onto the precious, although battered remnants of her human nature. Throughout, this reader remained hopeful and cheered her on, but my fists were bunched and my anxiety level was off the charts.
The only downside of this story is that I will have to wait for the sequel to find out what happens, but there is no doubt I will be there waiting, anxiously if not patiently. Very well done.
I was so torn over this book. There were elements of the book that I LOVED and some... not so much. The romance between Dominic and Kate had me enthralled for a while. I loved their story and the world the author built. But when the going got tough, Kate didn't impress me (although, Dominic did). I was really hoping for her character to be smarter, stronger, more dependable. Dominic deserved better. In the end, the author drew me back in with a great cliff-hanger. I felt like this was just part one and I can't really make any final decisions until I read part two (which I eagerly await). I would recommend reading this book when the next installment is released so that you don't have to be left in the middle of the story.

If you like strong romance, mystery, action, and betrayal... This book has it all.

In the end, I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars because I truly enjoyed most of it. I only hope the next book resolves what the first book left unfinished.
I personally don't give out 5 Stars just to be nice, I believe that it lowers the bar when everyone rates every book at 5. This book is an exception, it deserves every star.
I bought this book, based on a lot of chatter on Facebook about it, and the wonderful cover. This is one time I am very glad I took notice to the chatter, and judged a book by its cover. I wasn't disappointed.
Though the star-crossed lover story has been done over once or twice, Elle Bright has written a excellent fresh story, that grabs your attention in the first few pages, and holds you to the very end.
Weaving the paranormal world with the normal, we follow Kate the girl next door working her way through life as a nurse, who is thrust into a life she didn't believe existed, filled with Werewolf assassins, Vampire tutors, sex, money and a world ending prophecy.
I highly recommend 'Fall of Darkness' and believe you won't be able to put it down.

I gladly give 5 STARS to Elle Bright's FALL of DARKNESS
