Publisher's summary
Once, Sarah Bingham's biggest challenge was making her students pay attention in class. Now, after rescuing a wounded stranger, she's landed in the middle of a battle between corrupt vampires and powerful immortals who also need blood to survive. Roland Warbrook is the most compelling man Sarah has ever laid hands on. But his desire for her is mingled with a hunger he can barely control...
In his nine centuries of immortal existence, no woman has tempted Roland as much as Sarah. But asking her to love him is impossible---when it means forfeiting the world she's always known, and the life he would do anything to protect.

Story
Among the Shadowdwellers, Trace holds power that some are willing to kill for. Without a stranger's aid, one rival would surely have succeeded, but Trace's brush with death is less surprising to him than his reaction to the beautiful, fragile human who heals him. By rights, Trace should hardly even register Ashla's existence within the realm of Shadowscape, but instead he is drawn to everything about her-her innocence, her courage, and her lush, sensual heat.

Since the day Lord Dillon earned his spurs, rumors of his savagery on the battlefield have preceded him into every room, stilling tongues and sparking fear. Weary of battle, he wishes only to find a woman he can wed who will approach him not with fear but with the tenderness that has been absent from his life for so long. Yet only the wisewoman seems invariably at ease in his presence.

Theron - Dark haired, duty bound and deceptively deadly. He's the leader of the Argonauts, an elite group of guardians that defends the immortal realm from threats of the Underworld. From the moment he walked into the club, Casey knew this guy was different. Men like that just didn't exist in real life - silky shoulder-length hair, chest impossibly broad, and a predatory manner that just screamed dark and dangerous. He was looking for something. Her. She was the one. She had the mark. Casey had to die so his kind could live, and it was Theron's duty to bring her in. But even as a 200-year-old descendent of Hercules, he wasn't strong enough to resist....

Cat shifter Bree Dwyer doesn't fear much. Ironically, what she fears most is the person who was put on the Earth just for her. Your true mate wasn't supposed to be cruel and twisted; wasn't supposed to be someone who'd never love or want to claim you. The rumors that her true mate is dead bring her only relief. Bree's intent on moving forward with her life and building a future with someone else. Sadly, the male she wants most is one she can never have - a hot-as-sin wolverine shifter who happens to be her boss...and the cousin of her predestined mate.

I'm neither, but I have to get in at all costs. My brother made a big mistake, and now I have to fix it by stealing from the most powerful and cruel vampire to ever come to Bloodstone, Lucca Della Morte. If that wasn't almost suicidal, I need to get it done before the spell concealing my human nature wears off.

What did you like best about this story?
I thoroughly enjoyed the plot and the way Duvall developed the characters.
What does Kirsten Potter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She PERFORMED the book. Kudos to this narrator.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Vampires are immoral; Guardians are immortal!
Any additional comments?
One negative thing to say about this book - actually most of the books by female authors I've read. There is WAY to much emphasis on sex. To think that we guys get hammered for being obsessed. Sometimes a hint is better than an explanation of every detail. It is uncomfortable listening to this book while at work which is where I usually listen. I find myself looking around to see if anybody is listening. In this world today, it's too easy to offend someone and the details are a bit TOO detailed for my taste.
Now to the writer's credit, she did an excellent job starting the book off with ACTION. While it navigated through the usual, expected valleys, it still maintained my fascination with the characters and the plot. The introduction to two

USUALLY I DON'T WRITE REVIEWS....BUT....
Would you consider the audio edition of Darkness Dawns to be better than the print version?
Although I have not read the print version of Darkness Dawns I enjoyed it immensely.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Darkness Dawns?
There were several memorable moments captured in this audio book most notably between the relationships of varying characters.
What about Kirsten Potter’s performance did you like?
Kirsten Potters narration was wonderful!!! Her varying intonations of the many different characters both male & female kept one intrigued and interested.. I found the theme of the audio book complimentary to her abilities.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The book was fast paced from the beginning to end urging you to find out what's happening next.
The plot was neither complex nor simple. The bits of humor were appropriate and funny and the characters (considering this is fantasy) were convincing.
