For Jessie hunting down otherworlders or baddies that normal people fail to see, ghosts, zombies, pet possession and so on is just another day on the job at the Darker Agency. Along with balancing her life as a "normal" teen Jessie hides the secret that things really do go bump in the night and it is the job of her and her mother to stop it. When a mysterious drop dead gorgeous guy shows up at their door telling them that the ultimate baddie, the seven deadly sins, was about to wreak havoc on their little town; both Jessie and her mom are a little shocked and honestly don't quite buy his story. But with some convincing they realize that their little town is in a whole lot of danger and that they are the only ones who can do anything to stop it.In Darker Days you follow the not so typical teen Jessie as she battles mundane demons, like ghosts, zombies and the occasional pet possession; leaving destruction in her wake. But Jessie is bored and wants more responsibility, but her mom won't give her any. Really all her mom wants is for her to live a normal life. A life away from demons, ghosts, zombies and the baddies that roam the earth, but Jessie is unlike any girl that walks the earth. Not only does she know that baddies or demons walk the earth, but she has deep personal experience with demons. The kind that leave a mark on the soul. She can't forget those deep dark secrets and when her world is turned upside down and she has no where to turn, it very well may be those deep secrets that save her.Jessie knows that her life will never be normal, no Darker child's live has ever been normal, but normal is overrated anyways. But she knows she won't win against her mother, but when Lukas Scott, The Darker Agencies new client walks in and tells them there is a new baddie in town; Jessie is even more desperate to prove to her mom that she is ready for more responsibility. Like most teens she doesn't quite know how to show that she's ready. Instead she rushes off head long into danger determined to catch the baddies herself. Thinking then my mom will see I'm ready, but all she get's is hurt or in trouble. Jessie knows that there is more to this case than meets the eye, knows that she can help. And when two people that she loves get putin the crossfire of one crossed and pissed off witch, she will make the only choice she can to save them.Lukas, the hot new client is more than he seems, way more. He is danger, temptation, and gentleman all rolled into one gorgeous host. His story is one that bleeds sadness and revenge, one that tugs at the heart, but it is one that he has accepted, sadly. Until he met Jessie that is. Suddenly he wants so much more, he wants it all; the life he never had and the love he never got. As he races against time he finds his attachment to this place deepen, but even when his ultimate dream is thrown at him he refuses to put his curse on someone else. Lukas really is a gentleman and despite what he is has a soul that stands true and selfless.Darker Days, is an amazing story that is full of teenage angst, humor, love, awe and wonder. The story is deep and Jus Accardo did a wonderful job building a story that really can go anywhere. From the minute I picked it up I knew that this book was going to leave marks along my heart. I knew that it was going to imbed a piece of itself in my soul, forever marking me with its words. It really is that good. Jus Accardo gave me everything with this story. Action, paranormal, humor, love, suspense, great characters and emotion. So much emotion, I felt it as it scrolled across the page causing me to cry. It is a story that will leave you enraptured, one that you have to experience for yourself.I for one really have to get my hands on book 2, like yesterday!*received a free copy in exchange for an honest review
