Darkside Sun is the first book in the Mortal Machine series by Jocelyn Adams. This novel was stuffed to the brim with everything I like to find in a story, and I simply couldn't get enough of it. The premise and paranormal aspects were unique. I can't say I've ever read anything like it, and I loved that. I ate up the originality! The characters were so real. Even though I mentally argued with both Addison and Asher several times, I grew to really love them. The mental arguments added to the charm of this book. Addison wants nothing more than to be normal, unfortunately that's far from what she is. Her character growth through this story was pretty dramatic. In the beginning, I wanted to slap her around, but when it was all said and done, she really impressed me. I loved to hate Asher. Oh my goodness! He could have me drooling one moment and wanting to kick him in the boy parts the next moment. He was fierce and passionate about his purpose or what he thinks his purpose is. He has a definite force all his own that you can feel through the pages. He is the King of hot and cold. What is it about love/hate relationships that make me weak in the knees? I don't know, but this one was like a drug. It gave you tastes. It got you all good and teased. Then yanked it away. Again and again. Each time more intense than the last.  I'm excited beyond words about this series.Holy cow! That ending? Will I be able to wait until the sequel for more? Not likely.With its unique look at the paranormal, Darkside Sun brings us something different, not only in the New Adult genre, but to fiction as a whole. This story has me by the heart.
