Darkness Series Volume 2

By: Stacey Marie Brown

Narrated by: Michelle Sparks

Length: 10 hrs and 17 mins

Publisher's Summary

It's been four weeks since Ember Brycin witnessed what her powers are capable of. The Electrical Current Storm (ECS) has turned Seattle, Washington into a natural disaster zone. The death toll is in the thousands with countless others homeless and hungry.

And Ember is the one who caused it. Something she will have to live with every day.

Those people who were unable to escape either turned quickly into gangs or live in shelters. Ember, on the other hand, can't do either. With a price on her head and a Dark Dweller on her ass, she is constantly on the move. Both Light and Dark are hunting her for their own purpose to use her as a weapon or a pawn in the war between the Unseelie King of the Dark and the Seelie Queen of the Light.

Em needs help but doesn't know who to trust: Lars, the mystery man Torin told her to find? Torin, the Seelie Queen's personal knight, who has sworn to keep Em safe? Or Eli, who wants to turn her over to the Unseelie King, but whom she has an undeniable, intense connection with?

No matter what she chooses she will probably lose - her life or everything and everyone she loves.

Even Better than Book 1!!!

I enjoyed book one but book 2 blew it out of the park! These characters have so many layers. I just love it! The twists and character development had me enthralled from the beginning. Ember is a seriously awesome character, she is one tough girl and is everything in her life is changing and she doesn't really know who she is anymore she grabs live by the horns! Such great female character with a lot of strength! Eli....oh my... Eli, he is such a bad boy with a bad boy ego but man I love him! The plot is filled with twists and turns and I all the new characters make this book even better!

The narration was perfect!

Great story!

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the first book but the second book was even better. Engaging story line and many twists. I hope audible doesn't keep us waiting for the remaining books in the series for too long.

Struggled with this book.

As I've mentioned in other books I detest story lines that have to insert love triangles or some other hot guy she makes out with. It just hurts. She finally has sex with Eli but its short lived with his evil brother interrupting them and adding more lies which creates her to assume they're true thus leaving Eli angry and she uses her powers to hurt him. Ugh. I just wanted to throw my phone down. To be honest, I skipped portions of her dream scapes with "whats his face" and make out session with that spanish guy when she's training at the dark under Lord's (demon) house. Again.....makes me sick to my stomach so I cheat and skip. Also, I wish they hired a narrator that could do men's voices somewhat but this narrator uses her same voice for almost everyone! Now, I will give her a great thumbs up for the way she expresses her emotions! Awesome job on that but just no voice variations on the characters. You have to really pay attention.

PERFECTION IN the PARANORMAL

This is the second installment of the Darkness Series, and is one of the BEST paranormal /fantasy romance reads I've came across in a long time, actually it's now one of my favorite series! The plot thickens and twists with angst, love, deaths and mind boggling moments that has me wanting more, more more!!!! I can't wait for the next book, Ms. Marie has me hooked on her amazing, fascinating, Fay, Darkling, forest creators and many more in her interesting world she's created in her Darkness Series.

wow

narrator was so much better in this book! Her performance was outstanding! Glad I decided to move forward with the series. kudos!

Loved the story, but beware of missing parts

I am mainly an audible person, however, many times I like to listen and read at the same time. This is the first time I have every had an audible book take out chunks of the book. I don’t know if it’s the narrator doing her own thing, but know that there are some parts of the written version not heard in the audible version. Many of the steamy scenes are removed (some may like this, but I don’t If I’m paying for the entire book), there are many sentences not read and some added. This is the second book in the series and the second time it’s happened. I do love the series but you can’t sell an audible version if it’s not the actual version the author wrote.

Stop arguing!

Holy moly there was so much manufactured drama, so much arguing, and so much indecision in this book that I almost DNF. The MCs basically went from one cliffhanger to another with a bunch of arguing in between for the entire book. They didn’t communicate at all and spent a fair amount of time spinning their wheels. I really enjoy listening to series, but I just cannot go any further with this one. The first book had some of these issues, but they were amplified a bit too much in this one.

Still Worth Reading

good storyline but the male love interest Eli is a abusive jerk 😕.
Yet the women just keep wanting him yuck...
This happens with so many books sighs...
the other characters are great and the overall story.
still worth reading

lots of yelling

it's OK, drags on. but a lot of yelling and immature impulsive stuff. main character is rather dumb

Narrator is so annoying!

She needs to seriously chill out on the breathing while talking and the yelling is really old. She sounds so bitchy and immature.
I cannot stand it.

Loved it!!!

I read the first book of the trilogy on my iPad but using audible for the sequel was brilliant! I could multi task and the narrator was really good. Very enjoyable!
