Darkness Rises

Immortal Guardians Series, Book 4

By: Dianne Duvall

Narrated by: Kirsten Potter

Length: 11 hrs and 39 mins

Publisher's summary

Krysta is used to getting the drop on vampires. Her "special abilities" aren't much, but the plan is simple - she plays helpless pretty young thing to lure them in. Then her shoto swords come out and it's bye-bye, bloodsucker. Until one night she finds herself with an unexpected ally. He's a vampire, all right, but different. Mysterious. Handsome. And more interested in saving her skin than draining it. Etienne has been an Immortal Guardian for two hundred years-long enough to know that Krysta is special. He can't stop thinking about her long legs, even more than her short swords. Then he discovers the vamps she's exterminating have friends in high places, and the Guardians are in danger, too. He'll have to accept Krysta's help to save them. The stakes for a mortal are high. But the cost to his heart might be higher . . .

Still liking the series. :)

Keep them coming Dianne. I have really enjoyed keeping up with the imortals. They are fun. And Kirsten is awesome with the different accents. Cant wait to see what is up with Zach. Thanks

Amazing as always

The narrator is phenomenal with accents and characters. The story is great and makes you addicted to the next story.

Exceptionally Good

I never thought I'd find such an amazingly fascinating set of stories. I went into this series not thinking it would be this interesting. And the narration, I personally think, is phenomenal. Very well done with different tones and engaging in emotional telling that I look for in a narrator. I love it and I'm becoming borderline obsessed with the series. It's a compelling take on vampires and their world and there's still more to find out as I dive deeper into the series. Onto the next book for me!

redhat queen

This was a fantastic book. Just like the other books I listened to in this series. I can’t wait to finish this series.

too short!

i loved Etiens story! but it ended so abruptly! oh well... guess I gotta read the next one😄🤪😍

AWESOME

I simply love this series. Some have compared it to Black Dagger Brotherhood, but I think that Duvall has set this series apart from all the others. Her characters are original, diverse and believable.
In this installment Etienne stumbles across Krista, a human vampire hunter. He can't keep her out of his mind and stalks her till he falls for her. It's a great story and we get plenty on the other characters as well. There's lots going on and I stayed interested and engaged the entire time.
Kristin Potter is an excellent narrator. I will give this an adults only rating and worth the cash or credit.

Another Hit

Wow the Guardians keep getting better. But what can I say the author knows how to spin TALE. A brother and sister team who are fighting vampires alone encounter one of the Guardians and even though they think he is a vampire as well he is helping her to defeat the true vampires. What's a girl to do? Learn to trust him or kill him. So many options so few clear answers until.... But I don't like spoilers. I like to tell you enough to be interested. You should be interested. If you have not read or listened to all of the books in the series what are you waiting for. Go get them. Use those credits that you are holding on to. This series is worth it.

This book DIDN'T disappoint!

Would you consider the audio edition of Darkness Rises to be better than the print version?

I didn't read the print version

Who was your favorite character and why?

Krista = )

What about Kirsten Potter’s performance did you like?

She's great! I'd seek out other audiobooks narrated by her = )

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The end! I couldn't believe that the story was over = ( I'm ready for the next book, like right now!

Any additional comments?

I love the narration and the story line was hotter than ever! What a great series = ) I’m anticipating what’s to come since it left off at such an interesting plot point…

every time

The plot gets better and better
will the guardians survive
and whats the deal with Amy

Awesome! A must read series.

Etienne has always been one of me favorite characters. Krysta brings the modern world to the group and Etienne handles it well. True he isn't as old as some of the others but the connection is electric.
