Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 09 26, 2011
In this installment of the Dark Lands Series, Sexy Fallon gets a turn at finding a mate when he rescues Rain Miller from the Black Charmers. What he doesn't know, but soon will is there is a worse danger ahead. Rain's father was killed by someone he trusted, someone possibly from the Dark Lands, which is where Fallon is taking her. Her father's killer never found what he was looking for. Now whoever killed him will be able to find her easily.Like with the previous books, this one starts with a bang, but something felt a little off. Having met Fallon before, I had an image of what he's like. In this book, I felt he lost some of his macho-style behavior. True, Fallon is ambassador to Earth--a politician, but these were werewolf-like creatures. He appeared a bit too soft.What I loved, besides the plot and action, was Rain. She'd been on the run ever since her father was murdered and up until now, she'd successfully evaded capture. She's smart, like on the genius level and an inventor. She's easily likable.My major issue was the ending. Simply put, it was too abrupt. It could be argued that I simply didn't want the book to end, which wouldn't be a lie. There are only two more books to go and I'll be finished with the series. Still, the story could have used another chapter to ease the reader out of the story with an "Ahhh..." feeling.If you haven't read this sci-fi romance series, start with book one. Below is a list of the books and each story build upon the last.1.Dark Lands: The Charmer(formerly Teasing Danger)2.Dark Lands: Coming Home(formerly Homecoming)3.Dark Lands: Scent of Danger(formerly Something Wild)4.Dark Lands: The Golden Bell(formerly Fallon)5.Dark Lands: Ghost in Her Heart6.Dark Lands: Beast Wars(formerly Bad Moon Rising)If you are already a fan of this series, this book is worth the purchase. It's my hope there will be more books in this series--lots more.
