Wow... okay. It's taken me forever to read this one but it's not because it wasn't good. It was actually GREAT! It's simply taken me so long because life gets in my way entirely too often. Grr. Darn life.Ha. Anyways... back to the fabulous goodness that was Valley of Darkness part 1!I can't tell you enough how amazing the world is that the author has created. I want to GO there! Just see it with my own eyes! The creativity is just... there are no words. Love it.Now, here's the deal. I really liked the first book - just disliked the insta-love. Valley of Darkness - LOVED this one! I honestly knew I'd like it because I loved the world that was built in book 1 and I loved the characters. But this one blew me away. There was absolutely no way for me to predict some of the plot twists. I was speechless... I teared up a few times... I wanted to reach out and hug poor Molly on so many occasions. I mean... seriously did NOT expect what hit her life. Victor's character really found a place in my heart during this one. He was... so supportive and caring... Gosh, I just loved him.If you haven't read book 1, you definitely can't just jump into this one. You NEED the background in book 1 before starting this one. Whelan's writing flowed seemingly effortless and things just... clicked for me. I loved the time difference in this Valley of Darkness. It was like it showed itself more and began to actually be a prominent concern. Loved it. Okay... Sorry guys. I keep saying that over and over again.Overall, I loved this one even more than book 1. It seemed everything just fell into its place. Loved it! Can't wait for more!!!!!
