Goodreads' Synopsis: Nereia
is faced by a frightening choice. Copeland is getting dangerously unpredictable;
and in the blind darkness of the sea-caves under the cliff, Blakey is about to
make the acquaintance of the Archangel...
Sequel to On Dark
Shores 1: The Lady and second in the dark fantasy series, this novella is
gritty and gripping with a rich tapestry of characters and darkly evocative
setting. Contains violence and drug-use.
The story will be followed later in the year by On Dark Shores 3: The Mother.
To be honest, I have book one, but I just have not found the
time to sit down and read it (sorry JA!!!), so I started book two with a lot of
questions. I haven't really gotten to
know the characters previously, and I literally dropped in the middle of the
story. But, when I got about halfway
through, I was completely immersed. I
still have questions, and you can be sure I'll be reading book one very soon,
but book two was enough to get me hooked on the series. It certainly left me wanting more… in a good
way.
JA is a fantastic author.
Her writing is vivid and descriptive and perfectly gripping. The settings are easy to imagine and the
characters are completely relatable. The
tale is dark and suspenseful, and it is interesting to follow each character as
they grow and evolve and come together in different ways.
A great fantasy series—I can't wait to catch up on book one
and then dive into book three!
