So, already being hooked on this series like a drug, I was excited to read on. The beginning was nice. I wouldn't call it slow, because the continuation of the romance between Molly and Victor was so entertaining and amazing.And although things seemed amazing in paradise, they quickly come crashing down. There is an art in building up your characters, making the story near perfect, only to send it crashing down and spiraling toward rock bottom. And A.B. Whelan, did not disappoint.The love between Molly and Victor deepens, but even then, tensions grow. And when a HUGE plot twist occurs, their love is tested. Tremendous grief, anger and sorrow threatens to break them apart, and wear them down. And throughout the book, the reader is able to see the moment Molly and Victor's spirits are about to break, although they are at different times. Both of them have their share of the strife.In this book, although we continue to learn more about the amazing world of Arkana, A.B. Whelan delves deep into the character's. Their stories, their personalities, their hardships. Each character contributes to the suspenseful plot.Whereas the first book in the series was about a rising romance and adventure. Valley of Darkness is all about tragedy, and love; love that can grow and swell and prove that Love is far greater. Love between friends, soulmates, parents. All that plays a part.THis book did a great job on successfully painting images of the scenery, stimulating the five senses, and communicating the sheer emotion of the book.Five stars again. Congratulations on another fine book A.B. Whelan. Let's see if you can manage to score another perfect five on the third! ;)
