About the author

Melissa Silva is a dark paranormal romance author who has recently branched out into contemporary dark romance. She loves her happy endings, but they’re never reached on an easy path. With twists and trauma in her stories, she pushes her characters to feel all their emotions and understand what their choices will bring. She makes things personal, weaving true hardships and real-life obstacles into each character so readers can relate in some way. They’re not epic love stories that come easily, they’re real and painful and bittersweet. Love is hard. It’s not something you can expect to come without problems but seeing when even the most broken character can finally find their happiness is something Melissa Silva strives for. Everyone has a little darkness inside of them and they’re willing to do questionable things to protect what makes them finally feel whole. She loves the trauma and the healing and the blending of comedic moments to make the stories as real as possible, even when dealing with supernatural characters. There’s a book for everyone and a story that will touch someone’s heart in some way.

oh gosh this was really good! I want shadow daddy Caleb all to myself, and Ari?? I loved him, and I don't think he's actually evil, but that boy has got some repressed trauma. The f*cking twists!? I did not see the Ari twist coming at all! I absolutely loved the binding scenes too, and can I please have some ravens of my own haha. The ending was another cliffhanger and i'm a little scared to see what book three is giving me because I have a really bad feeling about all of it.

These cliffhangers keep getting crazier. Book 2 had a lot more action going on. I LOVE Caleb so much, while Liam is irritating me. Still like him, don't get me wrong, but his attitude makes me want to slap him. Ari...fk Ari, I had high hopes for him, but i'm questioning my thought process with him after what he did at the end. Guess we'll see if he gets a redemption arc.

after the cliffhanger in book one I was expected some crazy shit to happen and this book did not disappoint. I loved Liam in book 1 and really started liking Caleb at the end. This one? Give me Caleb. He's so good, and Ari?? Holy airballz did not expect some of the twists that came involving him. I really hope he's not as big of a dick in book 3 cuz I want him to be that dark knight lol
