First Impression

From A Fractured Light, everything has gone up in smoke, once friends now enemies. Skye has a big task a head of her as she fights to right everything before time runs out.

My Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The final book in the A Beautiful Dark Series, tells the story of finding balance no matter what. I was captivated by Skye's journey to be herself throughout all the drama that was taking place around her.

I would definitely recommend reading the entire series. The ending was emotional. I had tears but I was moved at the same time.

Quotes

"We would make mistakes, we would argue, we would make up. We would lose the people we love and find new ones, and hold our memories close. We would fight for each other, again and again. We would keep living. We were in love. And we were only human, after all."

My Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐

There was a lot of things I didn't expect to happen. I was happy that things worked out in the end...

A Fractured Light had twists and soppy moments throughout each chapter. Only thing I will say is that it ended to soon or I just couldn't put it down either way it was worth the read to find out what happened next.

I would 100% recommend reading A Fractured Light especially after reading A Beautiful Dark. 

Quotes

 "I couldn't make a choice between chaos and control. Not because it had been made for me. But because there was no choice to make. It wasn't one or the other. They both were inside of me. They both were apart of me. I was noting without both sides. Take one away and would fall." ~ Skye"

A Beautiful Dark, #1

On the night of Skye's

(ISBN13: 9780061990656)

seventeenth birthday, she meets two enigmatic strangers. Complete opposites - like fire and ice - Asher is dark and wild, while Devin is fair and aloof. Their sudden appearance sends Skye's life into a tailspin. She has no idea what they want, or why they seem to follow her every move - only that their presence coincides with a flurry of strange events. Soon she begins to doubt not just the identity of the two not, but also the truth about her own past.

In the dead of a bitingly cold Colorado winter, Skye finds herself coming to terms with the impossible secret that threats to shatter her world. Torn between Asher, who she can't help falling for, and Devin, who she can't stay away from, the consequences of Skye's choice will reach further than the three of them can ever imagine.

Skye seems like a down-to-earth person. Asher the typical bad boy, and Devin the placid one. 

My Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I felt compelled to read until I had finished, leaving me questioning what would happen till the end....

It's Skye's birthday and her friends have planned a surprise party. When she steps out for a breath of fresh air, this mysterious stranger is there. When she goes back inside she notices that things begin to get strange from that point forward.

Both Asher (the stranger from her party) and Devin turn up at school and put Skye's life apart at the seams. Everywhere she looks one or both of them are there, and she has no idea why.

The ending for me was a big shocker I wasn't expecting it at all...makes you want to read the next book A Fractured Light.
