Book Review: Darkness by Erin Eveland

darknessIf you are into horror stories and dark romances, then Darkness is for you. Author Erin Eveland takes her readers into one frightening and chilling ride.

It took me some time to finish the book. Partly it’s because I stop when I get to the scary portions. It’s also partly because it was hard for me to like the main characters Catherine and Nathan who are flawed.

But, once you get into the story, it is really hard to put down the book, except of course, I have to take a breather due to the creepy bits.

Darkness is Rated T for Teens due to fantasy violence.

DESCRIPTION

One Girl. One Boy. And the Masters of Darkness. See the Shadow Creatures. They are everywhere. But you can’t run from the shadows. Or the Masters who control them.

At the age of sixteen, Catherine lives with an alcoholic mother and impoverished welfare. While searching for a way to tell her only friend Nathan of her desire for him, a hidden world starts to unfold with the coincidental meeting of a man in black, Jorgen. With this encounter, questions arise and unexplained events start to occur, causing Catherine to confront her past and an uncertain future.

Upon graduating High School, Nathan cooks at a local bar wondering how he can leave town with the girl he’s fallen in love with, Catherine. All seems hopeless until a man in black, Artros, introduces himself offering power greater than all the money that drives the world.

Ancient enemies with the power to control the Darkness and its Shadow Creatures, two Masters will fight to the death for what one girl may hold – the ultimate power of Light.
