The Darkest Hour is the first in Maya Banks KGI series featuring Rachel and Ethan.  Their story was dark, yet hopeful, but the beauty of it was that the ending was bittersweet and realistic as opposed to a neatly wrapped package with a bow on top.  This novella, several stories and years later, catch us up on how Rachel and Ethan progress and it's simply a wonderful story.  I honestly don't know why more writer's don't do this, but it gives us a glimpse of how the family has continued to work together and how Rachel and Ethan have grown stronger.Clearly, this is not a standalone standalone story.  You have to have read at least the Darkest Hour, the first in the series, but all the characters from the others are also in here. I love how each addition of the story brings back to all the family members working together and KGI fans will be thrilled with the update.  It also provides a new sneak peek at the next in the series in a little more detail.
