Ok each book  in this series is longer than I like for night reading but I can't put it down.  I finished two overnight and wouldn't put three down til it was done.  Yikes. If I didn't HAVE to go somewhere, I'd read four before bedtime too.  Love the twists, complexity and insights of characters in this series.

This series is much deeper than you think in the beginning.. It did start out a bit slow for me, but quickly gained momentum & before I knew it, I was reading the ending! I will be looking for more by Ms. Miller!

This is my new favorite series.  I was so drawn in to this world and have become so connected with the characters,  I started book 2 immediately after finishing book 1 because I can't get enough.  The relationships are complex and intertwined in unexpected ways.  I'm already on book 3!

Not my usual  time period to read about but this caught my interest.  I am on the 3rd book in the series  in less than 1 month.  Really very good.

I really like the grittiness of this series.  I would recommend reading them in order, preferably.  I read book 1 then previewed book 3 (due for release soon) which then meant I felt I had missed out, so immediately went and bought 2 and read  it.

Darkened Hope is book 2 in the Hidden Dagger series by J.L. Mwebe. I read it just as quickly as I did the first volume and I liked it more. The story picks up immediately after the first volume as our heroine and her companions continue their quest. The world is huge and fascinating. The races and creatures are interesting and obviously deeply understood by the author though I found the amount of them overwhelming and sometimes difficult to keep straight. Past events were referenced a lot but not very explained so it was sometimes confusing (and I read part one 6 months ago so youd think itd be slightly less confusing, for me at least). After finishing, Im still not clear when or how certain events happened. But I was so wrapped up in the story I didn't really care.

There was a lot of introspection but actions didn't always correlate so I found Alya and Kael frustrating to understand. Theyd decide one thing and then do something else and then change their minds just as quickly. But it was two steps forward, one step back so I was happy that things progressed at least. And I was much happier with the romance this time around  there may have been a happy squee or two. 

My personal opinion is there is a great story here but I still feel it would only improve with a bit more refining. I am really looking forward to reading the last one when it comes out.

What an awesome series. Shade, oh how I love the...
Definitely an advantage to read the other books in the different series, as they are all intertwined.
Sex Pistol and Teased is recommended.
Looking forward to Cash's book next.

This is definitely an excellent series.  The first thing that caught my eye was the awesome cover artwork.  The theme song is haunting, yet catchy.  You totally get caught up in the story.  It may seem slow to people who  are used to non-stop action, but its has a lot more to intrigue you that  just that!

The first one I came across was book 2. Cast in Courtlight. It pulled me in so much I couldn't put it down. But I could still enjoy it without background. Though it did drive me to go back even to the prequel.  Each book draws you in. And I can reread with great enjoyment. Caring about each character. Can't wait until the next one. More characters being added and filling it out even more.

  I laugh, cry, cheer and get angry as if I am living the story. If you like some meat with your stories that make you think this ia a good series for you.

About to finish Fade to Black, and I cannot put it down! I found this series from a friend's recommendation. We both love the Dresden series, and he turned me to Awake in the Dark. Recommended if you like interesting and thought provoking reads. Can't wait to read the others!

HUGE fan of the Sookie Stackhouse series and True Blood series as well, but the books are where it really counts!  Great storytelling!  ;-D

Just like all the other books in this serious I never wanted to stop reading. This series is so mysterious. Shepard has a wonderful way of giving vague yet vivid details all at once. I love this series and will soon begin reading The Lying Game series. I bought the first 2 books months ago but I have yet to read them. If they are anything like the PLL books I'm sure I will love it.

I'm glad I discovered this series after all books were written, I would hate to have waited for a year between books. I'm totally binging on this series.

Great plot thickening! One of the best series I have read. Equal helpings of drama, action, love, and sex, all seasoned with the right amount of spice and sophistication.
