Review courtesy of Romance Junkies...Jordan Lane works for a market strategy team. She is cautious and reliable, the polar opposite of her younger and wilder sister Maisie. When Maisie voices an interest to try Reve, Jordan refuses to let her go alone. The experience opens Jordan to a new life path wrought with danger and people who want to exploit her unique ability.Rook is a Chimera agent. He needs a change of pace, so Rook transfers from tracking psychotics across the dreamscape to recruitment, in order to escape his nightmare’s manifestation. He uses the Reve to scout and mark possible candidates. Jordan surprises and intrigues him.Jordan starts out bland and blasé but as the story progresses, her character and personality deepens. I found her dedication to her younger sister admirable and touching. It really states the type of person she is. I like her caution towards Rook, how the two did not connect right away but when they do connect, it is in degrees.Rook mystifies me. He is tortured but from actions committed in his teens. His interactions with Jordan made me laugh. She proves to be the perfect fit for him, the ideal person to help him accept his skeletons and learn to live.I got a little lost, and a small bit bored at the beginning. However, once I assimilated to the world, its lingo, and learned about its uniqueness, the momentum of the story picked up and I began to enjoy the story and its characters. What I love most about the story is the uniqueness of a side character’s name but then I am bias because it is my husband and my oldest son’s name.DARKNESS FALLS stands out from other paranormal stories with its distinctive content. The world building is fresh and remarkable and I like how it varies from the other stories available.
