Review:- I am a HUGE fan of this series and loved the first book By Midnight as you can see from my review. So much so I went and visited Highgate Cemetery when I was in London, have a look at my pictures here.
Darkness Falls, starts were By Midnight ended on it’s awesome cliffhanger. April feels guilty for infecting a deadly virus onto her boyfriend Gabriel, whom is a vampire. I really love April as a main character, she is a bit selfish in the typical teenage style, she can kick some ass but still lacks confidence, no wonder she has been though so much. I loved when she got her makeover and felt better about herself through the way she looked, it’s true you do have so much more confidence when you look and feel good. I was so worried about Gabriel, I had to keep reading to find out what would happen.
Another character I liked was Ben, another potential love interest for April, who I would liked to have seen more of and although I like April and Gabriel together, I feel Ben treated her better. I am pleased April has some good friends around her one of them being Caro. I love Caro, her sarcasm cracks me up.
So much happens in the book, it’s an emotional rollercoaster and action packed, so much so I had very little nails left by the end of the book. Especially in the later part of the book.
Another of my favourite parts was the witches and the history included from the Queen Victoria’s library. What I love about this series is that these places all exist or you feel like they exist anyway and want to go exploring. Witches and vampires in the one book, I was in fiction heaven.
I would highly recommend this book. This book is full of action, is fast paced with some romance thrown in. I loved it and can’t wait for book 3.
