About the author

In the 3rd grade a teacher once asked Kris what she wanted to be when she grew up, to which she responded ‘A witch.’ Growing up under not so pleasant conditions she often depended on her imagination to escape her day to day hardships and dreamt of a way to make her fictional escapes real and when she stumbled across a tattered copy of Interview with the Vampire she knew just how she would go about it, which led her to start keeping journals full of short stories which would eventually grow into action packed tales of sex, power and magic set in the New York City underworld.

Kris is the award winning author of several urban-fantasy novels, with The Dark Storm series being her first major releases. Kris resides in New York City where she spends her time writing and working in her herb garden.

I don’t even know what to say. I was totally confused with this book. I’m assuming/hoping there were previous books in this to make it easier to understand. DNF.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

I wanted to love this book as I'm a huge fan of urban fantasy but I found it confusing and hard to get into.
It's action packed and fast paced but it absolutely requires to have read the rest of the series.
One of those cases it's you fault for requesting an ARC that it's not your cup of tea as you didn't read the rest of the series.
Many thanks to the publisher and Edelweiss for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

I only finished it because I had this book. It’s horrendous. It constantly bounces between characters and you never know what’s up from down. And to call this a novel when it’s the third book in a series that just can’t seem to die is comical. Honestly, when I saw novel written on the cover, I thought one and done book, but unless you read the first two in the series, you won’t know what is going on. The writing is trash, sorry.

I could only read this book to 20%. That said, I still have no idea what it was about 👎👎👎 While it features magic, the characters and scenes are incoherently jumbled.

This is the third book of a trilogy. I haven’t read the other two books and I don’t think this works well as a stand alone. If you haven’t read the other books, there is no way to make sense of what is going on. The narrative jumps from scene to scene. There is tons of action but there are so many characters introduced in each scene I couldn’t keep up. I had no idea who was fighting for good and who was evil. I didn’t know which characters to care about. It was a big jumble to me and I gave up 35% into the story. Maybe if I had read the other two books I might have enjoyed this but it didn’t make much sense to me. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.
