Darkness of Light

Darkness, Book 1

By: Stacey Marie Brown

Narrated by: Michelle Sparks

Freak. Witch. Crazy. Schizo. Ember Brycin has been called them all. She's always known she's different. No one has ever called her normal, even under the best circumstances. Bizarre and inexplicable things continually happen to her, and having two different colored eyes, strange hair, and an unusual tattoo only contributes to the gossip about her. When the latest school explosion lands her in a facility for trouble teens, she meets Eli Dragen, who's hot as hell and darkly mysterious. Their connection is full of passion, danger, and secrets.

Secrets that will not only change her life, but what and who she is, leading her down a path she never imagined possible. Between Light and Dark, Ember finds a world where truth and knowledge are power and no one can be trusted. But her survival depends on finding out the truth about herself. In her pursuit, she is forced between love and destiny and good and evil, even when the differences between them aren't always clear. At worst, she will incite a war that could destroy both worlds. At best, she will not only lose her heart but her life and everyone she loves. Once the truth is out, however, there will be no going back. And she'll definitely wish she could.

Interesting enough but the narrator ruins it

I think I'd like the story but I couldn't even pay attention to it because the narrator is trying so hard to sound sultry the entire time. It's extremely annoying. Every word out of her mouth sounds like she's a phone sex operator.

Interesting start

This was a good book, interesting storyline, but I will say it felt like it took a long time to get to the most important part. I like Ember but at times she was so weak in her resolve. Just when I thought that she was going to make a smart decision that quickly she buckled under and did the opposite. I like Eli but at the same time he was a jerk. I was glad to see that a special person in her life (dreams) was loyal to her in the end. I am excited to see what is next and hoping that Eli becomes the hero I want him to become.

A great beginning to the series!

This was my first book by Stacey Marie Brown and it certainly won't be my last! I devoured listening to this book along with the rest of the series. We meet the main characters in this book that set-up the overall story throughout the rest of the books. Everything from the characters, to their back stories, to the unfolding story before the main character Ember is just great. It draws you in and makes you want to keep going. The narrator did a fantastic job.

Great NA Paranormal Romance

Stacey Marie Brown has quickly become one of my go-to NA paranormal romance authors. Darkness of Light is a little less gritty than her Collector series, but great none-the-less.
