A Beautiful Dark by Jocelyn Davies


Skye is turning seventeen when two mysterious and strikingly handsome boys start fighting in the middle of her party. She's never seen them before, but can't help from being fascinated. They begin to appear more and more in her life, only to find out they are angels from both sides of the heavenly war monitoring her. Why? You'll just have to read it and find out.

This was a lovely book that I read on a road trip. I'll admit it was very addicting, but not for the page turning action that books often utilize. Throughout the entire story you feel like something big is about to happen, and if you can just read the next chapter you'll crack the code … and then the next chapter … and then the next. Do you catch my drift? The whole time you're on the brink of the plot breaking into excitement and it just never does. That's what really limited my enjoyment of the whole thing. While the writing is beautiful and truly describes the world well, not enough happens for how long it is. Even when you finally reach the climax it is very short, and not as shocking as it should have been.

I loved Asher, and Devin was cute, though I don't think we really saw enough of either of them in the entire book to really become emotionally attached. I hope that when I read the second I get to delve a little deeper into the series, because right now I'm very distant. I liked Skye a lot. Maybe because something about her name is just badass, or maybe because she didn't completely piss me off–I don't know. Either way, I can't wait to read more about her. She pulls off the awesome card way better than all those wanna-be badass heroines you see these days. 

It was beautifully written, truly professional writing I must say, and the cover art is dazzling. The world was painted in intricate detail, and I can't wait to find out more about it. 

I hope that she expands more on the characters, and answers some of the questions; because God knows she built up a lot of them, and answered very few!
