The Dark Duology #2
Into the Dark
I always knew it would happen. I always knew the day Alex found out the truth about me, was the day I’d lose her. And I did. She did what she had to do, she let me go, and I don’t blame her for it. I’d hidden too much from her, things she might never forgive me for, and now I can’t stop thinking about the look in her eyes when she told me she couldn’t love me.
Alex was the light, wholly unconnected to the dark filthy parts of my life and I’ll do whatever I have to do to get her back. Including betraying those who made me who I am. I may not get out of this world alive, but I know I can’t live in it any longer. And she’s worth it. She’s worth risking everything for.
I told myself a lot of lies from the moment I met Jake. And when I was confronted with the truth about who he was, I told myself a few more. Including the worst lie I’ve ever told - that I couldn’t love him.
The truth is, I’m incapable of not loving him. Despite who he is and the things he’s done. Despite the lies he’s told and the sins he still hides. None of it matters. None of it compares to the man he is when he’s with me. We shouldn’t work, I know this. Being with him is dangerous, I know this too. But I can’t be without him either.
His sins might belong in the dark, but I’m going to make sure he’s free of them, even if it means a few sins of my own.
Into The Dark is the thrilling conclusion to this dark romance duology, which began with A Dark Fall .

It is actually a reread because I read this one on Radish months ago, but I am so glad that the author has published her second book and loved the tiny changes versus the first version. One of my favorite duets, love Jake ❤️

Alex & Jake are back and HOTTER THAN EVER!!
There was something comforting about revisiting Alex and Jake in Into The Dark, there’s something about their relationship that just has me dreaming for more!
This was the perfect sequel and the perfect roundoff to Alex and Jakes story, there were times I was crying, laughing, in shock, and even reaching for a fan during those spicy scenes 😉
I urge everyone to read both A Dark Fall and Into The Dark, Scarlette is such a talented writer, the ability to make her readers feel so many emotions and feelings about fictional characters is unmatched!
I’m so proud of how far she’s come and I can’t wait to see where she goes, from wattpad to words on paper, I’m lucky to have been there to witness it all!
I’ll always continue shouting about her books wherever I can!

The first one wasn't great but somehow this was even worse.

Umm so I did a thing...maybe just maybe I binged Into The Dark after finishing A Dark Fall!!
This was a great second book to A Dark Fall. We follow off a little after where things ended. Alex and Jake aren't in the best place.
Jake is keeping his promise and trying to become a better man. Alex is trying to forget him but it's hard to do when he left such an impression.
It's only about time they find themselves back in each other's paths and when they do, there's no holdinh back.
Alex and Jake fight through every hardship in this story to get the ending they want. They have a lot of work to do communication wise but there is growth, and most of all they allow their love to be at the forefront.
The ending was brilliant, the tension built up and I think it was the best way for things to end for everyone. Despite the trauma that will remain, Jake and Alex manage to defeat all odds and get a life they dreamed of.
I have to jump back to the fact I love Jake Lawrence not being a typical douchey alpha, sure he has qualities that irk you but he always tries to put the people he loves first, and fight for them. He doesn't give up easily.
A brilliant first read for me from Scarlett Drake!!

Wow, what a perfect book and a perfect way to end this duology! This book had me feeling all the feels! I was gripped from start to finish and could not recommend it enough!
Alex and Jake are just one of my favourite book couples, their connection was portrayed in the best way. Also, I normally don’t love kids in books but Caleb was a little cutie 🥺 not only that but there was loads of super likeable characters throughout! I could read about Alex’s and Jakes story on and on and would LOVE some bonus content so I can just read more 😍 honestly one of my favourite books ever
Scarlett is super talented and I’m excited to see and read more of her future work!

I can’t stand this book but I’m too far in to give up now.
I was looking forward to this because I really enjoyed the first one and now I can’t even remember why. It’s almost like this one is written by a different person. This one should’ve stayed on Wattpad
After hearing the nickname “baby” 238 times I officially hate it.
It’s a good thing alex went to medical school cause she says bloody every 3 sentences. Not sure how she got through cause she’s a spineless moron. And Jake is an overgrown manchild.
Also why does everyone have the same name. There are more names in the world than Fred and Laurent/ Lawrence.

This duet was an easy read.
It had its goods and its bads.
I really enjoyed Jake. He’s the type of MMC that I love: obsessed, desperate to change for her, but also ruthless in his ways.
