Darker Days is a great series starter, full of twist, romance and snaky comments.I'm not sure where to begin with this one, Darker Days had me laughing, swooning and crying since page one.In a very true Jus Accardo Fashion, Darker Days starts right into the action. And I love it. The character's voice is defined from the go as well, spunky, rebellious, sarcastic and strong. And, you guessed! I love it too! Plus Jessie has some really funny ways of expressing herself..."Holy house of hogs getting blasted by the blue birdie brigade ..." - Darker Days, Jus AccardoMy first reaction to this was "This sounds like Veronika Mars meets the supernatural." And if you haven't watched Veronika Mars, I'm gonna ask nicely you go to see it before another kitten dies...Jessie Darker works with her mom as a private detective but the agency specializes in the supernatural. Zombies? Ghosts? Witches? They are your girls!This new job they have? Is a bit tricky though... The 7 Deadly Sins were released in the city and now Jess and her mom Klair only have 5 days to find out who opened the box and get all the sins back in it before the box calls them back and with them the bodies of the 7 persons they took... Or you know, before the Sins find a way to free themselves forever...This book is a great series starter. The fact that she made it about the 7 Deadly Sins wins Jus major cookie points. This is actually the first book I read about them.The romance is heavy and sweet. While it may seem like Lukas and Jessie's feelings come too fast, and as much as Jessie probably will hate this: They belong together. It was Fate! Besides, Lukas is completely swoon *drool* worthy!"Dark, shaggy hair that might've been in desperate need of a trim--if it didn't work so damn well for him. Piercing, liquid brown eyes that radiated trouble--and I loved trouble.He wore a leather jacket over a tight black T-shirt and worn jeans that were just a bit too baggy. Oh yeah. Bad-boy-vibe was off the charts." - Darker Days by Jus AccardoAnd I love me some Trouble and Bad Boys! Don't let his bad boy looks fool you though, he's one of the sweetest guy you'll ever meet. I loved him right away and right now, he's pretty high on the book boyfriend list.The secondary characters are great additions as well, her mom and dad provided as much fun and "aww" moments as Jessie and Lukas.Her best friend is a witch and a big promise, I can't wait to see more Kendra and all she can do.The bad guys are so good at what they do, they deserved cookie points too.But let's talk about what's really important here... the Plot.The Plot is awesome! It has so many twists and things you don't see coming that will keep you on edge all the time. There were a million ways this book could have gone wrong (as in a not so happy ending, I don't believe Jus can write a bad book). I was afraid I was going to end rocking myself in a corner somewhere waiting for book two.Jus can definitively keep the suspense and set a perfect pace to the story so that you're surprised and never bored without giving you all at once or making it predictable. And manages to balance it in a way so it's not all about the world's fate rest upon my shoulders and allows you to catch your breath between one snarky remark and the other.I really can't wait to see what else is in store for Jessie now and what other troubles she can find in her way. The Darker Agency is sure to be another great series by Jus Accardo and you should get your copy as soon as this is out in stores!
