Irish Rogue #3
Magic Dark
Her darkness is a curse. But it could also be her lifeline.
Abby Brennan's latest vision confirms her worst fear: she's not fit to be their queen.
Her four guardians refuse to believe it.
They see power where she sees poison. They see their mate where she sees a monster waiting to break free.
But they're not giving up on her. And they're not keeping their hands to themselves anymore.
As the bonds between them deepen, her dark magic attracts an ancient entity named Penley. And he knows exactly how to exploit the cracks in her armor.
Then one of her guardians falls deathly ill—and her queen magic can't heal him.
The only thing that might is the dark power she's been fighting to suppress. But unleashing it could destroy them all.
To save him, Abby must embrace the darkness. And let another guardian in.
Book 3 in this steamy reverse harem fantasy. Claim your mate.

My Rating: 4.5 Stars!
Much more than a shallow, all sex, reverse harem, Kate Gellar’s MAGIC DARK is a story of good versus evil, light versus dark and the struggle for one young woman to control both halves of her magic in order to bring the four guardians to full strength and a united force. Could Abby find that embracing her dark side, as well as her queen side will be her greatest strength, not her weakness?
What a complex tale filled with twists, passions and inner turmoil for each character as they struggle to become strong enough to prevent the darkest of evils from destroying the world. Whether you are a fan of the reverse harm genre or not, Kate Gellar has done a remarkable job of building a world and creating scenes between characters that epitomizes individual struggles without losing the sensual connection shared. More meat and potatoes story than most RH tales, there is a feeling of purpose in the intimate sharing, while tearing down barriers and building strong connections.
Wonderful storytelling that draws readers in and keeps them hanging on for what happens next, all while trying to decide if some characters actions are right or wrong, justified or if there is something else going on.
I received a complimentary ARC edition from kate Gellar! This is my honest and voluntary review.

good read
Thoroughly enjoying them at the moment. Abby is a strong character who doesn’t shy away from hardship. Can’t wait to see what’s next

Abby heads back to New York with Murphy to try and learn more about her dark witch side and her mother. While there she comes face to face with the necromancer from what she thought were dreams. She bonds with Murphy. She learns things about the trinity. Abby and Murphy head back to the castle.
The trinity brings danger to Sam and Abby has to save him.
I’m interested to see where this series is going to go. Abby and her guardians and white witch friends have a battle coming.

I'm 100% invested in this series now! I can't get enough of this wild adventure between The Trinity and the Ancients.
I'm looking forward to seeing what happens if Abby does cross the rift into the Trinity's realm and also to hear more about Sam and Abby’s already existing bond.
I had a theory that in each book, she would bond with one guardian, and then the final book would be them closing the seal for good. Now, I'm not too sure because this book had a few massive plot twists!

Can Abby beat the trinity at their own game? Or will her fate be left in the hands of a handsome stranger who could destroy her with the flick of his wrist? I know her guardians will fight to keep her safe
