February 25, 2016
One thing that I can say with certainty is that I loved this book! This book was packed with action, romance, passion, suspense, basically everything you could ever wish for! I am soooo happy that I received all 4 parts of this book at once because I found myself at the end of each book and kept trying to turn the page for more.
Overall great book probably my favorite in the whole Dark King series. This book is being sold in 4 parts for 1.99 each on Kindle Amazon and also 1 whole book for 7.99 for your reading pleasure.
I received this book as an ARC from Net Galley for my honest review
This is the 3rd part of the series and things pick up just where part 2 left off. Rhi is finally awake and she feels like someone is watching her, Cons secrets are starting to come to light and Ulrik is trying get Sophie's attention. Can Ulrik get Sophie to walk with him on the wild and dangerous side? Read and find out!
Loved it and highly recommend it!

Ulrik’s interactions with the Dragon kings and repeated attempts to get to Sophie are amping up the stakes and turning everything towards the inevitable battle with Con.
There is so much at play in this part. We also learn more about Rhi’s shadow and her inner turmoil. It’s very interesting watching Darius continue his avoidance in regards to his feelings towards Sophia. This part has kept me as enraptured as the first two. I highly recommend.

As each meeting and night is spent together, Darius's feelings for Sophie continue to grow. For Sophie it's the same way. That need to see each other. to touch. to just be near each other.
For Ulrik he hopes to rip that apart not just to spite Darius but to get to Con as well. we get more of Rhi and her watcher, the Reapers, the unstable light queen, and a whole lot more.
I just love this series and can't ever get enough.

This book is the third part of Smoldering Hunger and I can see trouble brewing in this one - the character descriptions are great as are the emotions played out and the pace of the book is spot on - looking forward to the final part to see how Sophie and Darius end up - and if its how I hope and want it to be.

Keep getting better
This is another example of a well written and thought out story. 's Grant continues to write great short stories with just enough in each to keep you coming back for more.
