The Seduced/Rose Saga #5
Seduced by Darkness
Drake Davis has had and lost more para-powers than most people could ever dream of. But that's nothing compared to the changes he's experiencing as a Nephilim-a being part human and part angel with a lust for blood. He'll do anything to protect his wife and child from whatever darkness is hunting them, but can he protect them from the new darkness growing within?

3.5 not going to lie the first 3 books in the series were my favorites and they really should've ended them there. If they wanted to make these last 2 a spin off they should've completely focused on another set of characters and made Rose & Derek secondary characters without POV's.

I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
Rose and Derek are back with us still fighting for all the things they believe in. They are just as much in love or more than they ever have been. They are still teaching at their school Elysium where they try to help and teach kids that have para powers as well. They each have different things/subjects that they teach the kids besides helping them to learn how to use, control and maybe understand their powers. Drake and Sam from The Forbidden Trilogy along with their little girl Ana are still with us as well. Drake and Sam are still helping out with the kids at Elysium.
Rose and Derek have their own personal problems that they have to deal with that is just between the two of them while at the same time someone is still killing people, adults and kids/teens that have any kind of para powers. No one knows who is trying to kill all these people and them too. Along with the personal issue between the two of them; they also have to deal with their own separate personal problems. Rose is having trouble shifting so she asks Talon to teach her how to control her shifting.
Drake and Sam are having problems with their own new abilities as well. Like everyone else they are trying to find whoever it is that is killing anyone with para powers. Plus the Nightfall Queen is looking for them because they disobeyed one of her rules and now they must answer to her. They have to go before her so that she can judge them and decided if or what their punishment may be. Drake and Sam are also worried about Ana and her powers and how strong they are for someone so young and the wrong person finding out.
I have really and truly loved reading both The Seduced Saga and The Forbidden Trilogy. As I have said before I loved each and every one of the characters in both series and was so glad to see Sam and Drake from The Forbidden Trilogy join Derek and Rose in The Seduced Saga. I am sad to see The Seduced Saga and The Forbidden Trilogy end. I am going to miss all the characters especially Rose, Derek, Drake, Sam, Ana, Luke, Lucy, Ocean, Father Patrick, Toby and everyone else.
Have you read The Seduced Saga or The Forbidden Trilogy? If you have not then I would like to recommend that you do and soon if you like paranormal. You will be taken on the best ride of your life and one that you will not regret or forget for a long, long time. This writing duo is one of my favorite writing teams and I have loved each and every book by them that I have read. This is another writing duo that I cannot read enough of their work and want to read everything they write. I am sitting on pins and needles just waiting to see what they come up with next. Thanks KK for writing such great stories and giving us the opportunity to read them.

Honestly, I wish this series would not end! This is an amazing journey I know I will continue to enjoy.
All of the characters are very well developed and I appreciate the fact that none of them were left behind. Action packed, strife ridden , full of love /hate relationships, steamy moments of utter bliss! Everything I truly enjoy when picking up a new book! Thank you for creating a "masterpiece"!, Karpov Kinrade

Great and exciting read
I loved all the things that each person was going through. You must keep on your toes or you might get confused but I loved how it all came down to family and redemption, not to mention transformation inside and out for most of the characters. This book has steamy adult sex and it for adults only.
I enjoyed this series what I six not like was the choppy short chapters or the reference to William Shakespeare. Its OK some but with such short chapters it just drove me crazy. Some of the sex scenes were violent not my bag but to each their own.
Overall great series and pulled paranormal, wolves, witches and angels all together in on series.

I'm only giving this three stars because of the feels it gave me for Rose and Derek, and little Ana. Honestly, the first three made sense. The last two were created, I'm guessing, to expand on the Nephilim, but it was rushed beyond belief, and too much was going on to make into less than 200 pages like she pushed to do. The story of The Court of Nightfall is a good one, and I'm glad I read it before these last two, it keeps my faith in Kinrade.

Wow
Wow! What a great ride. The ending of an enjoyable series of books that I could put down from book 1 through 5. A wonderful beginning for all the characters of the book series. I was rooting first for Rose and Derek hating Blake then later Sam, Drake their sweet Ana and their families. Thanks for the love, adventure and sexy adult scenes.

Absolutely Loved it
I didn’t want it to end. I wanted it to keep going. I loved all the characters in this story. I loved how two different stories came together and became one big family. A must read.

Seduced by Darkness picks up immediately where Seduced by Lies left off. From beginning to end, there is nonstop action. The suspense is crazy, but in the end, Seduced by Darkness wraps up both the Seduced and Forbidden series' perfectly before introducing Court of Nightfall. I found myself drawn back into the world of Rose and Derek, Sam and Drake, and the children and adults we've all come to love at Elysium as they confront the Beast and discover their fates once and for all.
For those who read Seduce By Lies, vol. 3: Ancient One, be prepared to reread it. Seduced by Darkness is both Ancient One and the final book back to back. Surprisingly, it reads even better this way and has a more satisfying length.
Overall, I loved the final book in the series and found myself tearing up when I finally turned the last page. For three years, these characters have been a part of my life and a huge part of my love for Karpov Kinrade. It's kind of hard saying goodbye to them for good. If you haven't picked up any of the Seduced novels, I highly recommend you pick up Seduced by Innocence or Seduced: Rose's Story(which contains the first three Seduced novels) and immerse yourself in the world of Rose and Derek. If you want to start all the way back at the beggining, I recommend picking up Forbidden Mind or The Forbidden Trilogy(which contains all of the Forbidden books).
I give Seduced by Darkness (and subsequently, the entire Seduced series) a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

Great
Although I thought this was a great series, I felt it should have ended after book 3. For anyone who wants to read a great series under their different pen name , I highly recommend Vampire Girl. It was excellent .

Superb Read! Seduced by Darkness is the last book in this series and it doesn't let you down. This book continues where the fourth book ends. This story primarily revolves around Derek & Rose and Drake & Sam and their individual growth and their growth as couples as well. We also get to see how some of the other characters we met in this series and the Forbidden Series are doing. Tons of twist and turns in this story. Loved how there is a small tie in from this book to The Nightfall Chronicles books. An all around excellent read.

July 13, 2015Disappointed
I have absolutely loved this series until this book. The storyline is fine but it starts off and you've already missed a bunch of stuff. It's trying to play catch up and you are just lost for a while. Then you hit about 2/3 into the book and it's like "oh shit, I have to hurry up and finish this," when it needed more development. This book really pisses me off because it took a great series and totally screwed it over.

This book was well written. As I read I could picture what she was portraying. I could imagine myself being there almost as if it was a dream. I really enjoyed reading this book and the entire saga.

I really enjoyed reading this series. There was the perfect combination of suspense, mystery, action, and love. Every story left me wanting to read more and all 5 books went by way too fast! Definitely a good read!!

Stellar ending!
Fantastic, the amount of twists and turns in this series was mind boggling. So well written and the details have blown me away.
