This is the third and final instalment of Eden Maguire's Dark Angel trilogy. The story started with Tania and her boyfriend Orlando experiencing life in New York. It was nice to see them in a different setting and how this changed the way they interacted with each other. I would have enjoyed seeing more of the sights and sounds of the Big Apple but a few chapters in they head back to their home town of Bitterroot.
Tania and Orlando become embroiled with a film crew shooting a new movie, which is the perfect opportunity for some new faces to be introduced, including the handsome but troubled actor Jack Kane and his wife Natalia, stunt double Charlie and his sister Gwen and lonely Maya.
I've always liked the central heroine Tania because she's quite a sympathetic figure and always tries to do the right thing. She's quick to help her friends and family when they need her and I've enjoyed reading about her romance with the gorgeous Orlando. Her psychic visions continue throughout this story, although they are unpredictable and difficult to interpret.
Although a big fan of these books, I've struggled at times with the predictability of the plots. 'Broken Dream' was a huge improvement because it nicely brought the story full circle and featured some characters from the first book 'Dark Angel' but also threw in some different tangents and twists to keep the tension and suspense high. Although I had my own thoughts on how the series was going to end, I was never quite sure what was going to happen.
The whole series has been building to the moment when Tania will finally have to attempt to defeat her dark angel once and for all. The climax when it came was well worth waiting for and it was an exciting and well plotted end to an extremely enjoyable series.
Overall this has been a fantastic trilogy about the battle between good and evil and light and dark and I've enjoyed Tania's struggle to overcome the odds and live a normal life. I'm now waiting eagerly to see what Eden Maguire will write next!

And just when you think no character could be as annoying as Ever Bloom, along comes Tania. If I was Orlando, I would have run about half way through book 2.

I knew this would happen...I didn't like this series. Which trust me I tried hard to like. After not liking the first book most people would've just gave up with this series. No, not me. I read the whole series.
Ok the main character Tania just annoyed me (not as annoying as Ever from Evermore but coming a very, very close second. And Orlando. I prayed and prayed that Tania would find someone else but no they were 'destined' to be together. I wish that we could've had an alternate to Orlando because all I thought about him was spoilt brat.
I won't give away what happens but if you've read the first two books you'll have a pretty good idea about this one. So in short one star because honestly, I didn't like it. But I tried to like it but I didn't.

May 11, 2012i am currently reading broken dream and am enjoying it. However, i find that i am wanting the plot to hurry up. i have read many books and this is not one of the better books, i rate this on the fact that i am able to put it down for a few days and it doesnt bother me where as a good book would make me want to costanlty read it. i find that orlando comes across as a horrible person at the beginig as he makes tania go underground when he knows she doest like being underground. even though he may come across as horible at times i find that i still fantasize over him because the image the autour creates makes him better then ever in this book.

Thank god thats over with!! the worst trilogy of booka I have ever set my eyes on!
the characters are boring and repetitive. the italics and ridiculous, do not fit and boring.
However if for some reason in the future I feel compelled to read a trilogy of pretty much 3 identical stories that bore the hell out of me.... I will know where to look!!

This book was good because... it was just good.
This time we see Orlando's ugly side and how their relationship is affected. It also showed another couple's problem like drinking. This book was kind of like the other books in this trilogy but still grabs your attention.

This book was the last in its trilogy and it was okay. It ended as I expected it to and the series didn't really get any better or worse the more I read. It is a good series to read if you think you're interested in the story line but I wouldn't expect anything amazing from it.
