Wow!!
In my humble opinion Beyond The Darkness is the best of the series, and that says a lot as I love this entire series.
Cannon has poured her heart out in this book and the reader can clearly see that.
**Minor Spoilers after this**
I was so emerged in this book. Remembering how alive these characters are and how much I enjoy their journeys. Last time we left them Harper was trapped in the past struggling to find way home. Jackson was broken and angry that he couldn't protect her. Lea and Aerden prisoners in the King's City with no escape in sight.
Cannon started us right where they left off and took us on a roller coaster of emotions. I found myself smiling, a lot, as one of my favorite "side characters, Rend" found a big part in this story and I cried. Yes I cried. I cried three times...I cried for Aerden and his unrequited love. I cried over a death of a beloved character and when Lea got to talk to her father. Real tears spilled.
I highly recommend this book and if you are scrolling through and just discovered this review and haven't started this series...what are you waiting for?

I really like this.
From the beginning, the Peachville Demon series was a big surprise to me and has never stopped to be.
Beyond the darkness has a fast peace in all the voices. But at the same time very complementary.
The ending was a bit rushed and like not surprising at all. But the epilogue was what redeemed it completely.
Even though I didn't remember some of the details of the stories of anyone that wasn't Harper, it wasn't difficult to follow the flow, and remember all the story.
Now I just can't wait till the next book is out and I'm sure I'm gonna buy it as soon as it out.
Sarra Cannon definitely outdid herself.

Just gets better n better
I absolutely give the whole beautiful demons series a 10 outta 10 and beyond darkness alone gets a 12! I love everything about this series. There r so many twists and turns, plot thickening nail biters, and the 😍 love OMG the love! I would recommend this book, heck the whole series, 2 any1 of any age 13 and up. It's just so good 2 find a book let alone a full series that keeps u glued 2 the pages like Sarra Cannon does!

Sarra Cannon is back with what she's best at: writing gripping stories of magic and love and shadow demons! It has been a while since I read the previous book (leave alone started the whole series) but it was quite easy to get back into the story. Harper, the heroine, is so adorable, never gives up and stands her ground. I actually enjoyed Lea's and Aerden's bit too.
The end felt a bit rushed and too easy but the epilogue leaves me longing for the next book, hopefully coming out in the not too distant future.

Action packed and full of suspense!
I was so excited when this book was released. As a huge fan of this series, I waited on pins and needles, then life happened and I had to wait until I had time to read. Let me just say, it was worth every penny I spent and only built my anticipation.
I was not disappointed!
Sarra brings her characters to life in such a way, you feel as if you're fighting alongside them. A magnificent talent, and not an easy feat.
Harper's stuck in the past, fighting to find her way back home.
Jackson is fighting to get Harper back to the present, regardless of the risk.
Lea, she's not only fighting for her life, but her family and friends as well.
What will it take to bring them all together? Sacrifices will be made. Each and every one of them will be tested. Freedom, is it a choice?
I won't leave spoilers, but if you haven't started on the Shadow Demons Saga, I highly recommend beginning with book one. This is a must-read series! Five stars, hands down!

Much like the rest of the series, Beyond the Darkness continues to be a heavily plot driven novel with a smattering of forced character development. Cannon is clearly becoming more comfortable writing in multiple points of view. She was able to give each of our POV characters a more distinct voice in this novel, which was greatly enjoyable. Lea in particular became a much more vivid character; I've found her rather flat up until now, but this book helped to give her some depth. Overall, I continue to enjoy the series as a whole. However, this book left a little to be desired in regards to the mystery I've come to expect from the saga. The ending was very contrived and predictable. Of the series so far, this is one of my least favorite.

Awesome edition to the Saga!!
Another well written edition to the Shadow Demons Saga! I loved every minute not wanting to put it down and left annoyed when I forgot my kindle! The story grips you from each of the characters portrayed always wanting to find out what happens next with them. I loved the way Sarra interlinked other characters from her Sacrifice me series in this book. I look forward to what is coming next for all of these characters that I have come to love. I would recommend this Saga to anyone and I have! ;0)

I loved this next instalment in the series. Things are getting more intense and more troubles and problems are arising.
Harper finally stands a chance of being free from the clutches of a priestess, but so many things can go wrong and so many people could get hurt.
These books are always packed with so many things to learn, new clues and hints at what the Order is doing and the secrets they hold close and new avenues for stopping them.
I cannot wait to continue this series and see what Sarra takes us next.

Fantastic as usual!!
I love Sarra’s books, especially the peachville demons. I don’t care how long she needs to continue the series as well as her others, I will wait. Sarra has an absolute gift for creative three-dimensional characters with faults and weaknesses, allowing the readers to identify with and feel empathy. I think she is masterful in weaving so many threads together across many books and I can’t wait to see what comes next!

Captivating
Reading this book was so much more than anticipated. I could not stop reading and as always when reading Sara Cannon books I felt as if I were a part of the story and could close my eyes and see the world's there. I am so drawn to her style of writing that makes me gasp, cry, laugh and sing with the characters. All of them just dance off the page and come to life. An amazingly talented writer I will continue to follow with each book!

Worth the wait!!!
This continuation of the story of the brave witches and demons fighting horrible evils was worth the wait. The author, Sarra Cannon, kept me on the edge with plot twist after plot twist, bringing both unsuspected assistance when needed and long awaited reveals. Can't wait for the next book!!!

Such joy and betrayal
While I’m glad that Harper is home safe and it looks like one more set of gates are going to be closed, I was mortified that my hope that the ruby priestess was released and is going back on her word to help them. Now that my heart is beating at high speed I can hardly wait for the next book to see what happens!

Another action packed book that had me rushing to find out what happened next.
It picks up right after the previous book and man there were many twists and turns. I honestly had to go back and see the set up and just be like damn that's evil or that's smart.
No more words since I might spoil it.
On to the next one!

The twists and turns do not stop
Wow! This is so action packed and we also see more of Harper and her genuine character than ever. She is determined to do what is right no matter what the cost.

Opinione non diversa dai precedenti, anche se in questo nono volume mi è sembrato che alcune cose siano state tirate via un po' più del solito. Ma si sente che la storia si sta avviando verso la fine (con calma e con tutte le piccole cose in mezzo, ma sta arrivando u.u).
