When Darkness Falls
Julianne Harbor lived the life of a typical teenager until a tragic accident stole everything from her. Now forced to deal with things no seventeen-year-old should, she struggles to survive until she can strike out on her own.
When a case of mistaken identity thrusts her into a world of mythical creatures, Julianne must decide if she wants to remain in this new world or go back to the harsh life she left behind.
Leviathan Black has spent too long watching each of his siblings find their other half. He longs for the companionship he witnesses daily. When his two older brothers commit a reckless act, Levi refuses to be a part of their shenanigans. That is, until he lays eyes on Julianne.
Monsters like him should not be attracted to humans like her, but he finds himself inexplicably drawn in. With one touch, their worlds are flipped upside down and he resolves to do anything to keep Julianne with him, where she belongs.
But outside forces are determined to tear apart any potential happiness Levi and Julianne may have.
Will they succeed, or will Julianne and Levi fight for their happy ending? Julianne Harbor lived the life of a typical teenager until a tragic accident stole everything from her. Now forced to deal with things no seventeen-year-old should, she struggles to survive until she can strike out on her own.

When Darkness Falls was a quick read. I liked it but I felt like everything happened too fast, as if the plot was on fast forward. While in some ways it's nice having a complete story in one book, I think this one would have been benefited being told over two books or more.

Lacked Engery & Heat
The pacing of this story was off and everything felt rushed, especially the relationship between the MCs. I never found myself drawn in.
I adore paranormal romances but this one wasn't for me.

So bad
This book is...just silly. It hardly makes any sense. I was confused from the very beginning, because the prologue was a flashback to when her parent died. However the language and feel made me think she was a kid, but she was actually sixteen? I didn't like any of the characters, they had no depth, and I like my heroines smart. Julianne was not smart, and this book was not well written. A total flop.

A emotional roller coaster
This made me laugh and cry. It also made me have a stupid grin on my face that made my husband look at me funny. I could not put this down and it will definitely be one of those books that I go back and reread over and over.
Julianne has lost a lot over the past year. But, soon she gets taken and finds out there is a whole other world out there.

Pretty good (spoilers)
About a girl who lost her folks, lived with a crappy aunt afterwards and then was kidnapped, fell in love with a member of the kidnapping family and was kidnapped again.
There was some inconsistency with her age in the story, but overall it was a very good read.

Really good
This was good, but quick. If this was made into a two or three, book series it could have been amazing. It was too rushed, and could have had more depth. However, that said, the writing was excellent and the characters well developed even though it was short

Paranormal romance
The mc was so easy to like. I was quickly sucked into her story. The plot was something different and new. It was refreshing. I really enjoyed this story which is suprising since I mostly read rh.

I had not previously read anything by AJ Anders but Amanda Perry is one of my "must read" authors. I now need to go read everything AJ Anders has written because this book was great. I found this to be a very creative way to depict vampire like characters without making them feel like so many books I have read before. The characters are well written and you truly feel like you are invested in their lives. This world is one I found to be real with just enough mythical elements to feel like a believable alternate reality. The only bit of the book that was not completely to my liking was the ending and that was only because it ended more abruptly than I would have preferred.
