THE DARK HEART is the fourth book in the Indulgence series and MUST be read in order.

After the ending of book three that nearly had me committing Kindle-ocide, we start with this instalment. One thing has become clear - Adom and Terah will do anything to be with the other - even take on another god!

This is a series I will be re-reading just as soon as the series is finished, just so I can enjoy it without any cliffhangers. I did find it a little hard to get back into as it's been some time since I read The Blood Chain, BUT once I was back on track, the pages flew by.

This series has more layers than Shrek's onion and you never know where the next betrayal or surprise will come from. The growth in all the characters, not just Adom and Terah (although their growth is spectacular!), and seeing Terah's family standing together was outstanding.

This is a complex and intricate world, blending cars and phones with science-fantasy that I am thoroughly enjoying and HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I can't wait for The Crimson Throne!

THE BETTER PART OF DARKNESS by Kelly Gay

Genre: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Crime Thriller, Romance

Rating: 5/5

My Summary: Charlie isn’t your average detective/police officer—she works for the new futuristic law enforcement department called ITF. The world has changed since the other dimensions have been discovered. Aliens (who hate being called aliens) now live on earth with humans, and some humans possess supernatural powers. Charlie and her Siren-partner, Hank, have been working on a disastrous case—trying to track down the source and destroy a new drug that is putting people all over Atlanta in comas. But after they begin digging deeper, they discover a whole new level of their assignment: one that puts Charlie, her ex-husband, her daughter whom she loves more than anyone or anything in the whole world, everyone in Atlanta, and the rest of the world, at stake… and only Charlie Madigan can save them.

The Better Part of Darkness is a fast-paces riveting debut novel that holds you by the neck until the last page. I’ve never enjoyed science fiction so much in my life.

This book had the perfect combination of sci-fi, crime, thriller, and romance to make it an addicting read to lover of any genre. The writing makes it wonderfully plausible and incredibly witty, and the characters were the kinds that you cheered for.

Charlie was my kind of girl—totally kick-butt in every way, shape, and form. She was tough as nails, rock-hard, dedicated to her job, but she had her soft spots for those that she held closest to her.

I will be sitting on the edge of my seat for the sequel of this book, titled “The Darkest Edge of Dawn.” 5 stars and two thumbs up to you, Kelly Gay: you just made my bookshelf.

Content: This book is not for the easily offended. There was language and sexual aspects of the book that make it an adult novel, though there were no sex scenes.

Recommendation: Ages 17+ to anyone who wants to read a really exceptional book.

**Thank you to Sarah from pocketbooks for supplying my review copy!**
