Addison Beckett/Addy is a college student taking up Accountancy at Waterloo University. Her life is anything but normal, when she is in her own bedroom or familiar places, the walls come to life and wraiths show up. She tries her best to run away from them and didn’t tell anyone, not even her father.For the longest time she was able to keep her sanity at bay but when deliriously hot professor Asher Green asked her when she began seeing the rifts she really didn’t know how to answer. He scares the bejeezus out of her but she can’t deny the sexual attraction either. He wanted her to find out who she really is and how crucial she is to this thing he called Mortal Machine but with that attitude of his and her lingering desire to rip his shirt apart she reluctantly agrees.From that day on, her life will begin to change from glowing skin tattoos only they’re kind can see, moving from one alternate universe to another and that absurd law “NO TOUCHING” among others. She also learns about the ranking in the machine like the sentinels who have bright blue eyes, soldiers who do the cleansing rituals which they do when they extract the wraiths from infected humans and erasing of memory. She undergoes a lot of training pushing her to the edge but she tries her best to overcome it with the help of her newfound best friend Sophia and a kind and lovable ally, Remy.But aside from her aching body so hot for Asher, she finds out there is a traitor who is waiting for the right time to carry out his/her plans. She knew there are only a few she can trust and even if Asher is giving her a hard time, he is one of them she is sure but the following events that will happen is something that both of them will never be ready for.Darkside Sun is one of the hardest stories I ever read and I mean that in a good way. Many times in the book I stopped breathing whenever Addy and Asher get close together or almost because after a little while Asher gets cold again and he dismisses her. At times when I think about how easy their memories can be wiped out, I feel quite sad especially if it means forgetting about the memories of families, friends and  loved ones which are full of love and tenderness.Jocelyn delivered the plot effectively and in every page, I tried to decipher all the things that should and shouldn’t happen. I fell so helplessly in love with the characters, Addison for being the way she is and coming out of everything only stronger and Asher, God what do I say about him? He seems to be a bad boy and that is attractive enough but beneath that is something so “him’, caring and affectionate and yes in love with her.As with the alternate universe, wraiths and all those stuffs, I think it’s pretty cool how our author told the story in such a way it is believable. I actually love how they have glowing tattoos which only shows when they are touching or doing some kind of ritual, it’s fascinating.For me, Jocelyn’s talent is in born. The characters, the settings and the emotion will surely evoke some primal awakening within the body, heart and soul of whoever reads it. It’s quite intense you will definitely love it so be sure to give this book the time of day because you won’t regret it.
