Now that Nara and Ethan are working together to uncover the Corvus' secrets, they're confident nothing can stop them.

But while they've learned to anticipate dark outside forces gunning for them, neither is prepared for the insidious evil that slithers its way into their lives, nor the new challenges that surface so close to home.

Despite all the chaos and turmoil around them, the one constant they can depend on is their devotion and loyalty to each other. But as their relationship moves into deeper territory, sometimes the toughest battles are the ones waged within.

While the hunt for answers unravels more layers in the Corvus world, they also uncover new truths about themselves and their intricate connection to the powerful raven spirit.

When boundaries are suddenly redrawn and control shifts, Ethan and Nara will be forced to make choices that could bring them closer together or rip them apart forever.

DESIRE is the 4th book in the Brightest Kind of Darkness series. It is recommended that you read the previous books before reading this book. DESIRE isn't the last book in the Brightest Kind of Darkness series. There will be one more book. DESIRE is best read by readers 16 years and up.

Holy crap you guys this book went way left of what I was expecting! I pride myself on being able to predict a story but this one really took me for a ride. First I want to address the physicality in this book. I mean holy crap we see a different side to their relationship and I think it was needed because up till now their relationship hasn’t really been one.Ethan’s attracted to her light and they have a paranormal connection but their physical attraction was only addressed on the surface in the previous books.

And again another underlying aspect becomes our main focus in this book. The plot thickens! Ethan’s corvus decides to come out and play in this book He’s a bit of an ass but I’m glad we finally get to see some progression in that part of the story.Seriously these characters have some deep dimension. The plot has gotten pretty complex, I can follow it but I know that there are some little things that will come up later that I may not remember. Surprisingly, I’m okay with that.

It really became about them in this book. It was so hot. She can write sensuality like no other. It was just so wonderful and deep I could feel them growing as a couple, setting boundaries, dealing with trust issues and just taking time to be together and not worry about the small stuff. It was such a great glimpse into their chemistry of which they had bucketfuls. Great big 50 gallon bucketfuls! ::Fans self:: I need a drink now.

I absolutely loved this story! I love how Nara and Ethan have grown so much together. The strength of their connection and the special bond that the two of them share is evident throughout the book. I found that there were many heart melting moments between them. I just adore the relationship between Samson and Ethan as well. These were some of my favourite scenes. I also really, really like the added the tidbits with Patch. Who knew a bird could be such a beloved character? Wow, oh wow on the ending. I can't wait to see how this is all going to come together in the last book!!

I've loved this series since book 1. Now that I have finished book 4, all I can say is that I will be counting down to the final book, especially given how this ended.

We pick up with Nara and Ethan, together again, and hopefully forever. However, things are still complicated. Nara's dad is back, but her mom doesn't know yet. Her mom is dating David, one of Nara's teachers, and her dad doesn't know this. After having been in a dream with Ethan, Nara's dad is not crazy about him and wants her to stay away from him. And Ethan and his Corvus are in denial over being the Master Corvus. Nara will have her hands full trying to convince Ethan that he is the Master Corvus, while still trying to decipher the raven book, map, and her role outside of loving Ethan and helping him resolve his issues. And of course nothing is easy when demons become aware their is a Corvus in Blue Ridge.

I love Nara and Ethan. She is just so strong, but fair. Even when Ethan seems off or is upset, she doesn't lose her cool and gives him the space she thinks he needs. She isn't a pushover, is loyal, and caring. She is one female character that I can honestly say I love. She isn't snarky or annoying, and I loved how her relationship with Ethan seemed so solid in this one. He on the other hand can be strong, but also vulnerable. Though the only one he really lets see that side of himself is her. He's still struggling with balancing the Corvus, and if he had his way, would get rid of "him". The one thing he agrees with his Corvus on is that he is not the Master Corvus. If I have one complaint, it was his decision at the end. Up until that point, Nara and Ethan were just so solid, that I didn't think anyone could come between them. This one is a little quieter too. Not sure how to explain that, but there were moments when you just got to enjoy them working together, being together, and further developing their bond.

If you haven't read the series yet and are a fan of paranormal, YA books, then this is definitely one I think you'd enjoy reading.

Oh Shit! The ending!! It just about killed me!!! When is the next book coming out!!! Warning : Its a cliffhanger! When I was reading the book as it came towards the end I had a feeling it won't end with a happy ever after Ethan left, I can't believe he left!!! Why did he leave? . Nara is the light in Ethan's dark. They were amazing. I never believed Ethan was dark. If he was dark there was no way he would feel the way he did for Nara. Not only Nara, just human beings. He is kind,considerate, sexy as hell, I mean wow! Talk about heat! This book was full of it. If you thought the previous one was sexy, read this! It will take your breath away! Anyways my review isn't that great cause I'm still stewing over the cliffhanger and cursing P.T. Michelle in my head a million times over. Well anyways Nara is such a kickass female. And she doesn't put herself in unnecessary situations. She is smart and that is so important! And she shows weaknesses which is very important as well. Not everybody is perfect. Well thats about it :)
See you guys after the next book

I love how Ethan & Nara's relationship has developed. This book has crossed over into New Adult. The connection between Nara & Ethan is magical. We get some answers in this one but there's still more to know.

I love how in this book we got Ethan's point of view. He also communicates more with his Corvus. They don't exactly get along and they make a deal, which I'm not too sure is very smart of Ethan to do.

I love P.T. Michelle's writing style. It's like I can see it all as I'm reading it.

I highly recommend this series. It's amazing. I'm going to be sad to see it end. I love Nara and Ethan and how their relationship has grown and changed. It's one of the best series I've read and I would say better than some that have been turned into movies. Give his series a shot, the first book is free and the series gets better from there on.

I liked this book because there wasn't a love triangle. Sure glad I'm not these characters; talk about stress! 

----SPOILERS----
Sunday. Nara doesn't tell Ethan Michael told her to get Master Corvus on track because he's in denial about what Fate said. Can't say Michael can't talk to him because Angels can't talk to Master Corvus. She studies the map, but isn't sure what she's supposed to study. Then Dad calls. He's planning to stay for a few days. They burn the map, and will study Freddie's book later. Houdini takes an instant liking to Dad, very unusual. While Dad and Nara have coffee, Mom comes home. Flu, meetings canceled. Mom ignores Dad, upset, goes upstairs. He leaves after telling Nara to not see Ethan because he's dark, and because of the condom wrappers he saw. Mom avoids by shopping. Nara goes to Ethan's, huddles in his lap, he suggests mistletoe because it has power, according to his Corvus. He shoots mistletoe down, it falls into the pond. Ethan strips to get it, not cold. He dives for 4 minutes. The fog from her breath forms Tell Him; back off, Fate. Ethan takes her underwater, surrounded by his wings, kissing her; she stays dry and breathing. They kiss in the back seat; Patch wants more mistletoe berries. Ethan understands every other animal, but Patch is blank to him. Ethan promises to never ever risk her, to always watch out for her. She says I want you and your Corvus to care about you for *me*. He almost cries. They make love, she hears his thought, dismisses as imagination. On the way home, she tells him Michael said he's Master Corvus. Instead of focusing on fighting Lucifer, he feels guilt for creating Furia. Corvus doesn't believe her source. He drops her off early.

Rather than stew, she gets Freddie's book, shops. Thinks about Drystan, hears him say her name in her head. Home, she lets Houdini out, David comes in with Mom's gift, is possessed by Drake, attacks.  Demon can't get Freddie's book because of mistletoe, her raven yin-yang tat burns him, she casts Drake out, burst of light. Ethan bursts in with Houdini, she protects David. David leaves, Ethan tends her wound, didn't smell demon; when he dispatches demon, yellow and smell. Are you angel? Did you make Drake not Furia? Houdini's ear got snipped.

Gravelly Voice is Corvus. He was mean to toughen Ethan up. He wants to take over completely; no. They argue, Corvus speeding, not Ethan. I'll be happy to see you gone. GV: No one else comes with Nara. We are both unworthy. Her lightness is addictive. Ethan will find books on mental exercises.

Mom knew Dad had a gift, saw it in Nara, doesn't want to talk about it. Nara asks her to invite Ethan to dinner Christmas Eve, yes. And Dad, because he's staying with Sage, who's coming. Yes, smugly.

Patch had cut Houdini's ear for leaving his post to chase rabbits. He pushes his head under Nara's hand to be petted. I'm ok. She hears Drystan say Nara. Then he video chats her, already in London. Patch pecks at Drystan, Nara lets him out. If I were Corvus, I'd want you to be my Paladin. Wicklow gave Drystan watch with Corvus yin-yang etched on back; inside was manually written Don't Trust. E.W. His dad. Hang up, Ethan's possessive. Lainey brings early Christmas because blizzard coming. Tee: Adder's wheel keeper with certified street tread. Earrings. Nara gives her bracelet with good luck charms and the Corvus yin-yang. Always wear it. Matt's been drawing it obsessively. The black bird in his drawings is thousands of birds, crumbling. He's getting tattoo. N: Get it of my design. E: Keep it hidden. Nara covers, some professions don't allow. Lainey leaves, Ethan kisses her, everything changing but we're real and solid. Never boring.

The book says it's checked in at the London library; when she goes on class trip, she'll check it out; Ethan can't afford it. Matt hosts a rave. Ethan doesn't get through to him. Ethan and Nara dance, hearts synced, white bra, raised shirt. Demon is waiting for them outside. Just before Ethan kills, swaps body with one holding Nara, then gets killed. Self-defense lessons will start after holidays.

Monday, email to Madeline bounced. No evidence she exists. Nara hears Drystan think about slackline. Video chat. Find book for me? Dad was happy go lucky until Master Corvus thing, then somber, honorary Paladin only. Powers evolve in Order's Sanctuary. Maybe yours has. I heard you think.

Corvus negotiates with Ethan: I won't put Nara in danger if I get to control you during demon fights. [He had during rave fight, held Nara's cheek before Ethan came back.] Dinner with his parents is actually a house party; Samson leaves with Ethan after 10 minutes. Samson takes him to McCormicks for dinner, Ethan can't dissuade him. Ethan gives him new watch with Corvus symbol plus "Brother/Mentor/Role Model/Friend. Thank you for being my whole family." Samson tears up. Band calls him to help set up. He texts nurse Emily from car accident to have drink with Samson. He plays with band, then smells demons. The Corvus fights the 5 until Matt shows up in the alley; then Ethan takes over, obliterates 1. He learns Inferni remember their incentives/torture from Under.  Matt saw the sword with the design; must've been my tattoo. Matt's been seeing the design a few months, when Drystan moved in.

Nara buries the book again, then gets Gran. She's looking forward to the soap opera of dinner. David's not well, not coming (possession probably unsettled him). Gran insists on kiss under mistletoe from Nara, then Ethan to Nara, Sage to Dad. Ethan bought Corvus symbol gifts for Nara to give her family. Dad whispers mean things about Ethan to Nara, she whispers You look like a deadbeat deserter father. After dinner and gifts, Houdini vomits; he's gotta see the vet. Dad'll drive because of snow, Mom knows where clinic is, Nara is not going. Dad got Mom a month long cruise. Nara gives Ethan a guitar and a leather pad for good drawings to keep. He gives her a quick lesson of keys Be mine, Forever. Then she sees more injuries from fight. Tends, sees her name tattooed on the white half of symbol. She touches, make out in bathroom. Light switches off, she glows where he touches her intimately. Christmas wishes as kids: dad return, guardian angel so I could be bad yet safe. Dad's here, you're my guardian angel. He gives her a silver angel wing bracelet with snowflake design.

Nara dreams, looking for Ethan, finds but it's Corvus. She's unique, light. He won't accept he's Master Corvus. She hears Drystan, wakes up, he reports book isn't there. All telepathically. Ethan's upset. Houdini comes home. Dad and Ethan sleep in living room. Ethan fights with Corvus while Drystan talks to Nara. His name is Rave, and he heard Drystan in the dream. That's a corny name. Nara gave it to me. She named you like a pet. Roars and leaves.

Christmas morning, she wakes him. He believes he's Master Corvus now (Rave doesn't). Part of memories came through. White feather comes from angel touching potential Corvus; only Master Corvus can see, bring to surface by giving part of self, then it turns black. In closet, Ethan wanted to claim her as his. Don't know what happened yet. She's figured out map. They can be proactive finding Inferi, then send Corvus to hunt. Order has skills. Messages must be courier, not electronic, to keep away from demons. It's going to be harder to convince Rave now because he doesn't want to let you go, thinks he can protect you better than I can. Dad bursts up the stairs, hoping to catch them in bed, awkward.

It's been a few days. David's not come. Mom's ready to watch Dad's videos. Dad's living with Sage, will be moving permanently. Gran calls, possessed. Nara calls Ethan: move book, I gotta go. Demon killed Gran's friend Clara. Nara tells location, demon leaves. Ethan, Dad plus police and paramedics show up. Dad had cloned Nara's phone, wants Ethan and danger far away, threatens. Ethan never went to the graveyard, so demon has book. She's safe. Can't kiss goodbye. Nara wants him to confirm the book's safe, that Gran's and Clara's sacrifices aren't for nothing; he's gone.

DESIRE is a great edition to the BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS series. In this book we get the chance to see Nara and Ethan together on an even deeper level - communicating, supporting each other and connecting (aka SWOON). All of that has been building through the series, but it took off in DESTINY and is even stronger in DESIRE. I love the slow buildup to a romance, but when a couple lasts through a series, my favorite aspect of the relationship is being able to see the strength of them together. I want to believe in them as a couple. In this book, I again fell in love with Ethan and Nara together. As they face demons, danger, revelations and more questions, it's wonderful to see them stand firm against the forces working against them. They aren't perfect and still have growing to do, but the low angst and higher levels of communication were wonderful to see.

That is…until the last 2% of the book when we are left with a decision and cliffhanger that completely threw me off - and not in a good way. I closed this book feeling very disappointed in two of the characters and worried about more angst and backtracking to come in book 5. I just can't fathom why this happened leading into the final book. I am really really upset at Ethan right now. Especially in light of all of the heartbreak and drama he's witnessed from of Nara's father's disappearance to "protect" his family. I just can't figure out why he'd do the same thing to Nara. Was he not paying attention? Truly, this is not a plot element that I ever enjoy. But I can't imagine why it was utilized going into the final book in the series. I don't know what will happen, and maybe Ethan will quickly realize his mistake. But I am heartbroken that he did this after he and Nara have worked so hard to build their relationship. In my opinion leaving to protect Nara is a complete break in trust. In my opinion, everything they built in the past 2 books has now been destroyed.

I'm also not at all a fan of Nara's dad. I'm 100% with Nara's mom in thinking he's to blame for leaving her for so many years. He could have said something, but he didn't. I do not want them to get back together. If they did, it would have to be a long process of trust rebuilding. I'm also upset at him for trying to control Nara's life, when he was not a part of it for so long. After the end of this book, I dislike him immensely.

Besides that, this book continues to ask a lot of questions, tease revelations, and provide just a few answers. I'm anxious for everything to come together in the next book! I did enjoy seeing Nara figure out a little more of her purpose and become stronger individually. I love Ethan's relationship with his brother Sampson, and there's some great Christmas gift-giving in this book too. After the surprising end, I'm more worried about the final book. But I'm still eager for the culmination of this series. I love following Nara and Ethan but I also want peace for them!

Love Triangle Factor: None
Cliffhanger Scale: Medium/High

[Marlyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Firstly let me just say, that's the mother of all cliffhangers.

Reviewing this book is going to be difficult for me, because most of the time I loved it and then there were the other times, that small piece of the pie that had me questioning a couple of things.

For one, did this series turn into Adult paranormal without me noticing or something, because there were some hot and heavy scenes in there. I get that Ethan and Nara love eachother (a lot) but if I wanted to read a sexy adult paranormal I would have picked one up. The sex scenes were not really necessary because they didn't add anything to the story overall. It didn't reveal anything(oh, except for her being a human glow stick)or further the plot, so...

I would have liked to see more of Lainey and the gang, I felt like Nara and Ethan's friends were ridiculously absent. Although I do want to see what the deal with Matt is.

Also, how convinient was it that the teacher just so happened to be going to England as a class trip, and that David backed off now that the dad is back in the picture. What was the point of having him as a character if he was going to be taken out like that? I would have liked the dad to have to fight for her mom back. Make it her choice to be with either one or the other. It felt like the author didn't want to develop him as a character so she axed him instead.

Anyway, there is also how unlikeable the dad is. Someone comes back into someone elses life all of two seconds and think they know what's best, when they haven't even gotten to know them. I would be so annoyed.

Ethan should really stop being such a stooge and figure out what he wants. Let me remind everyone he said he wouldn't be able to leave her if they got together that "way". But what does he do? Ugh, it's like the second book all over again.

Anyway, I still loved the book, despite what it may seem. There were some pretty significant reveals. Drystan and the mind thing. Drystan and his dad's watch. The Matt thing with the vision of the symbol. I think there something about this glow stick thing of Nara's. The book being stolen, and Harpers demon and all the destruction it caused at Nara's Gran's house.(Drystan is still Nara's bleeding heart, wearing her scarf and all. This aggravates me and I hope he get's with that Choe chick he befriended in England and finally gets over her.)

Really great sequel, few annoyances, but what book doesn't have them. This book is fairly easy read because it engages you and keeps you captivated.

Somehow I'm sure the next book in the series will come back swinging. I can't wait to read it.

[Denis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Brightest Kind of Darkness is one of the first books of the genre that I have read and I loved it so much that I was extremely curious to continue reading the sequels. It shortly became one of my favorite series. Nara is one of my favorite protagonists of all time so I like reading and experiencing her story. When I finished reading Destiny, I thought to myself what kind of a cliffhanger is that? And it was an epic one, at least from my point of view. And so I was very excited to hear that a fourth book, namely Desire will be released.

However, my excitement quickly faded. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to buy this book as soon as it came out and that resulted in me postponing it endlessly. Finally, about a month ago I got my hands on it and I was really happy to get back to the story. But by that point, I was missing a few details and the hype of finding out what happens next.

In the fourth book in this series, Nara and Ethan are finally together in the long run. We get to see them live their lives as normally as they can and we get them see to spend pretty much all of their time together. And while that is awesome, because I love Nara and I love Ethan and I love Nara and Ethan, that's pretty much all that happens in this book. There is no real conflict, not much drama and certainly not a lot of action. Sure, there are a couple of demons making their life hard every now and then but nothing too serious.

I guess that the author wanted to show us a glimpse of Nara and Ethan's romance, since all the previous books have had bigger conflicts and a lot more action and now she wanted us to see them spend their lives together. But because of that, the book felt pretty boring to me. I am really sad to say this because I really was expecting a lot more from this book. I kept reading it and telling myself surely something will happen in the next chapter but, unfortunately, I kept getting disappointed with each chapter.

However, I have to say that I did like Nara and Ethan getting closer and their relationship growing stronger. And while I did find the majority of the book pretty boring, I did think that the ending was awesome. When I finished Destiny I thought that was the mother of cliffhangers but I was wrong. This was the mother of all cliffhangers. And so, because this book was a major disappointment for me, I lost much of my interest in this series. However, I am planning to read the final book when it comes out, just because I love Nara and I want to see how her story ends.

[Jess at Such a Novel Idea · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received a copy of this book via the author in exchange for an honest review.

Note: By far, this is going to be my longest review. I get a little long-winded and for good reason. Please let this reflect on my love (and borderline obsession) with this book series. You have been warned!

I’m just going to go ahead and let you know up front this review is going to have some major spoilers. It’s the fourth book in this series (not including the novella prequel!) and there really is no way not to give something up at this point.

That being said, I’ve been camping out on P.T.’s website and Facebook page just waiting for the day she announced this book was coming out. This was my very first indie author series — when I was finally starting to buy more e-books and realizing that the one-click button was evil when it came at $10.81 a pop. When I found this book for $1.99 (or close to it?), I was giddy and a bit leery. Surely a book at this cost couldn’t be that great. (By the way, this was in 2011, so it was the dawn of the self pubs in my world). But oh, ho, ho, I was shown that in fact, a cheap book could be made of all kinds of awesome.

Since then, I’ve been addicted to Nara & Ethan’s story. I was devastated when the release date for Destiny was pushed back (understanding, authors have lives too, but still sad). So, obviously I am more than a little bit invested in this series.

Less than an hour after the book showed up in my inbox for review, I was already consuming it like it was a gallon of water in the desert. And a few short hours later, between feeding children, bath time, and life in general, I had finished the story. It was just that good. And then, like when you eat too much ice cream, the dread of realizing that the book didn’t actually publish until the next day and I would be waiting a long time to know what happens next set in. I gotta say, I both love and hate that feeling. Only good books do it to you, and this one was another home run.

Initial Thoughts:

4.5/5 stars

Ahh so good. The wait for the next book is going to be torture.


Review soon!

[Lenore Kosinski · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yup, an enjoyable installment. It was nice to see a bit more sexy times between Ethan and Nara....they are steamy together. I didn't mind that it was a shorter installment, but then again I got it on sale. :) Honestly, at this point in the series, if you're like me you're already sucked in and something drastic would have to happen for me not to continue. LOVED the Gran moments at Christmas. Don't know how I feel about Nara's parents. Honestly, review sum up -- LOVED some parts, meh on a *few* tiny parts, all in all thumbs up. Too bad now I have to wait since this one only *just* came out....

[Nikita · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was my least favorite of the series so far. I don't feel like we really learned all that much more or that it moved the story along all that much. It probably could have been shortened and then broken up between book 3 and book 5 and been enough.

[Lotta · Rating 3 out of 5]

So this is apparently not the last book in the series, but the second to last. Ah well. The next (last?) book will come out this year, so I'll keep my eyes out. I still have the same objections as for the last book - the romance part is too cheesy for me, too wordy. But the paranormal and action parts are OK and I like the plot, which is why this still gets 3.5. I'm guessing the next book will take Nara to London and the Order. Which means more Drystan, which I like.

[Kristin Campbell · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lot slower and less "giving" than the other books, but I still loved it--despite the ending--and can't wait until the next book!!!!

This was a very fast paced book. Easy to read, but I think kind of a filler book. Everything in this book could have been combined with book 3. The ending made me mad.

[deborah trout · Rating 3 out of 5]

Less action

This book, #4 of the series, has less plot and more mushy romance. The action and storyline has slowed down a lot from the first three books of this series.

[Brigitte · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well. This series is definitely getting better and better. The revelations in part of this particular book are totally unpredictable and the whole thing becomes compulsive.

Nathan and Nara are still trying to unravel the puzzle which has landed in their lap. They make tremendous progress, but partly due to protest and denial, some issues remain unresolved. Nathan is just begenning to accept his nature when evil resurfaces and once again everything is turned upside down. Will they ever get to a satisfactory conclusion?

The strong connection between Nara and Nathan appears to be unbreakable, but circumstances threaten to tear them apart. Talking about cliffhangers, this one definitely makes me want to dive into the next one to see how it all ends. Thank goodness, l waited to get stuck in this series, otherwise I would have had to wait for the grand finale. As it stands I can get straight to it. I cannot wait. Breathtaking.

[Georgina Lacayo · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's weird that this book was shorter than the rest. The plot was spicy since the beginnning. There are just so many lines knotting and unraveling that it's kinda hard to keep track, but the romance makes up for that, like, a lot. I mean, wow. Ethan and Nara can't seem to keep their body parts away from each other. At some point, the beautiful declarations of love their share could become too sweet, too corny, or too overwhelming, I was on the verge of thinking so, but then the plot thickens and all is well.

I like the general story, and there are a great many things going on that I really enjoyed, but I don't care for the general obstinate lack of communication on the part of *all* the characters. It seems the author is only able to generate conflict by having every primary character be foolishly hard-headed. The foolishness gets tiresome sometimes.

Much to really like about this series. I'm freaking out there is only one book in the series left. I want to watch Nara and Ethan and that British guy and Lainey and Matt grow old. I want to see if Samson and the redhead get together. Etc etc etc.

Wow what an ending! I love all the drama and even though I want to strangle Jonathan, there has to be balance and he is bringing part of it. It can’t be all rainbows and unicorns. I’m so excited to read the next book but I’m also sad because I don’t want it to be over.

Loving this series. In this second to last book in the series, the plot continues to develop - I particularly liked how the author integrated Nara's father into the story.

Not your ordinary teen love series. Unexpected events and a good fantasy. Kept my attention and I couldn't wait till the next book!
