It was not the worse book I ever read. It's difficult to give a good rating when you can't stand the main character.

I liked this series quite a bit. The one thing which plagued my reading was the treatment of Sam's character. She is a rather selfish twit. I kept wanting to see her accept Elliot and love him unconditionally. Elliot is the self-sacrificing hero, but I felt he shouldn't have had to repeatedly throw himself under the bus for Sam. Relationships are gift and take. Sam just took, took, took, and then, she took some more. Because of Sam's serious character flaw, I couldn't give the book five stars. I'm a Beauty and the Beast lover, and Sam was no Belle.

I read this whole series in 3 days! I couldn't put it down!!! I actually stayed up til 4am finishing it!! Boy was that along day at work. :) This was a great series. As a big Twilight fan, I thought it came staggeringly close to satisfying my Edward/Bella withdrawal. I am super sad that it's over and hope that another comes out because I really didn't get enough of Elliot & Sam together both as humans! I highly recommend this series. The 2nd book dragged a little for me, but stick with it...it's so worth it!

This book was the best one out of all of them...even though I didn't have as much fun reading it as I did with the other two, but that's only because I was reluctant to finish the book, since I don't want the series to end!

Here we are: the last book, the end of the trilogy, and I have to say it was not what I’ve excepted leaning towards the negative spectre.
To sum up the whole story I would say it was just anticlimactic. Really anticlimactic.
In this third and final book we continue to watch our MC being a selfish bitch with no indication she will ever openly acknowledge how awful and unreasonable she is and begin to change. But I can’t really, nor will I judge this, cause truth be told there are many people in real life doing this. Way too many if you ask me (which you didn’t I know). That however doesn’t mean I wanted to see it stay unresolved and not involve and progress. Write it but improve it, take it a step further if you can. At least have her admit it to her self in her inner monologue and consecutively to us. There, progress!
There was one more major thing that got on my nerves: It was repetitive as hell. So much repeat, so much repeat, so much repeat! It was like the author was so bored she took pages upon pages from the first book and pasted them right into book three. I think she wanted to employ the “full circle” scenario, which is tricky I can imagine, but failed miserably as it didn’t feel full circle or complete. It was just the same thing copied and pasted with a word or three changed.
Anyhow, the majority of the book was something like this:
I would have provided some actual book quotes but that would mean i would need to give out more than half the book and it would take a while, also pretty sure i'm not allowed to do that either way. You get the gist though. This is the pattern of the book for the first 80%. 10% was the monsters/supposed bad guys making so much sense I loved them for it and the rest 10% was an unbelievable and unrealistic happy ever after. The kind that is so unbelievable and unrealistic it shouldn’t have existed in the first place. I would have been satisfied if the ending was more down to earth but it wasn’t. Besides being rushed this ending simply didn’t go with the story. Some questions should have been raised and answered and we were left without any information or explanations about the “monsters”.
I still can’t figure out what went wrong. I loved Book #1 (Review) though Book #2 (Review)t not so much and Book #3 just sealed the fate of this trilogy. I should have taken the hint after Book #2 and not get my hopes up. *sigh* I mean you have some good characters to work with: an MC who was a villain disguised as a hero, a love interest that was traumatised, slightly unhinged and quite obsessed, side characters that ranged from psychotic to amazingly wise and loyal, and lastly supposed villains, monsters, who actually made more sense than the “hero”.
In the end this story didn’t reach its full potential, didn’t even got to the half way marker. It left me with mixed feelings to say the least. Maybe it was just me though, maybe i just didn't get it or didn't know were to stand? I don't know.
It had the ingredients of a great read but it just went “Meh, fuck it. I’m bored now” and went rolling straight down the hill.

MC: I want everything to go my way! I will hurt everyone I say I love and then I will cry and be angry and sad about it and say life is unfair because I didn’t get my way.
Life is unfair.
I know I am in no position to deal with this situation but I am going to do so anyway. Why ask for help or stop and think for a second or three when I can go in half-assed and regret it later.
I have no one to help me. No one to rely on.
I need to stop rushing into situations like a child who doesn’t know how to control their emotions or can’t. Oh look a situation arose for me to rush in all willy nilly and childlike.
Oh my I shouldn’t have done that. Now I shall be angry, sad and frustrated that no one is here to help me or for me to talk to and rely on.
I love you but I’m not going to show you that even though you went to hell and back for me. I will treat your fears and insecurities like they don’t matter, cause they don’t since this is about me.
You are a monster! You can’t make sooo much fucking sense! No! Stop it with the reason and the sense! Stop it you monster!

Holy Cow. Words fail me. This has got to be THE best ending to a trilogy I have ever read. So much angst and tension ... I almost cried a couple of times. Elliot, dear god, ELLIOT! My new official crush. So many fabulous HOT HOT HOT scenes where do I start? The one in the cinema? The one with the baseball bat and the car? The one when he breaks the door down? Breathe ... breathe. This book takes things to whole new level. Okay, so things did get a little crazy at times, he, he. But in a good way, trust me ;) OMG, and when Elliot had to make that final choice ... "I love Albion but I love you more." Waaaaaaaaht?? I want a man like Elliot. Please, please please GOD. So many crazy dark twists in this book but I loved them all. I may have to read it again just to get my fix. x

I only refrained from giving it 1 star because of Fraisers character and the promising start of Book 1. This last installment had me shouting at Sam and questioning the authors apparent lack of interest in her last part of this trilogy. This was really really Super Bad. I love books, all books, any books, I stuck this out because of the original promise of the story but it was so bad, that by this point I sooo wanted it to end and breathed a huge sigh of relief when it did. I still can't reconcile Sam's revolting behaviour around Faine...Errr honey, he wants to eat you, and not in the good way. I won't "spoil" it for anyone but those parts had me baffled. Gutted I paid for this but had to know what happened.

This trilogy was daringly different and overflowed with anticipation. A vividly creative, ongoing, paranormal tale for Older YA/New Adult. The dynamics of the storyline are edgy and exciting and the characters dramatic and flamboyant. The first book was definitely my favourite, however I would have rated the last two books more highly if I could have seen some emotional growth from the h (I found Sam had become rather shallow) However I guess I need to remember the age of the h is 17 years and I guess that would explain her attitudes and selfish nature :)

Fans of Twilight will love these 3 books!! I couldn't put it down. I was 5 minutes late to work this morning because I had to finish this book. it is a series of 3 books. I got book 1,Super Dark free. As soon as I finished it I bought book 2 for my Nook. I did the same thing at the end of it. I had to read the next one. The first 2 end in a cliffhanger that makes you want the rest of the books.

Wow!!! Very exciting final book to the series. I still think Samantha is a twit but I really have to say I loved the books. I was very touched by Albions actions, he TRUELY knows what love is more so than Samantha I believe. A good ending to wrap up things. I do hope Tanith will write more books, she is a very gifted author who actually writes her characters to be their age. Happy Reading :)

Thank goodness I'm finally finished with this series. It truly may be the worst I've ever read. I'm not a quitter, or I would have quit this awful mess halfway through book one. I guess you get what you pay for, and FREE books are free for a reason.

This third installment if Super Dark was the best yet. It ended cleanly, all tied up perfect. It was sexy and intense and unpredictable the whole way through. I loved every page!

I couldn't put this series down!!! I wasn't a huge fan of Sam, but I had to keep reading to see if she ever came around. Elliott and Frasier were very well written characters.

Nice quick read. Enjoyable. You don't know exactly where it is going.

I thought the whole series to be suspenseful, but wasn't too keen on how the ending went.

Phew. Persevered to the end of this trilogy because there was a different edge to this story, but really didn't like the main character!

3.5 Stars!

This book is a disturbing disaster. It seems to be promoting abusive and unhealthy relationships.

Finally!!
Reading this series was like watching a train wreck. I just had to finish. The stress to Elliot and Sam's impossible romance ended too easily, but it was such a relief to have it done!!!
