review 1: I read all three books in this trilogy consecutively. I'll try to keep the books separate when reviewing them:In the first book, you see Quinn spend some time alone with Bres and watch that relationship develop. In this book, she spends a good deal of her time with Luke and you see that relationship (along with that of the snake, Cora) develop.I love that not only do you get a sense of the present and future (based on the prophecy and some visions), but also of the past and how Cora becomes involved in Quinn's story.I still wasn't feeling the "in love" relationship between Luke and Quinn. It still felt forced and I just didn't get it. I also hated the part (and this may have been at the end of the first book...where Bres pushes her away. Heart wrenching (but, I'm still tot... moreally Team Bres).This story had a lot more world building in it and I loved the Enchanted Forest and the bad Banshee Queen. Very well done. Again, couldn't wait to pick up the next one (so I did, quickly).
review 2: Title: Dark Isle – Book 2Author: Shannon MayerGenre: Paranormal RomancePublisher: HiJinks Ink (July 8, 2012)Available: $2.99 at AmazonRating: 5 starsRater: DihannaFrom the publisher:When evil begets evil, a choice is forced on Quinn, the one person who can see the danger. Does she save the ones she loves, or does she save the world from Chaos? As the realms of Fae and human collide, Quinn's future has never looked so grim, or so damn impossible.What I liked: Once I started reading this book I could not put it down. It was easy reading with no slowdowns and kept me turning pages to see what would happen next. I was especially curious as to how Quinn would save her sister, Ashling, and of course the world. I loved Luke's character as he was certainly someone I would have loved in my life. The book made me think about how we have to see people and figure out who is a friend and who is really not. Aednat the banshee is not someone I would care to meet but thought that the book brought up many good things for it made me look at myself and my personal relationships. I cried when Cora died as who could ever have had a more wonderful friend and protector. I thought the book was very well written and easily give it 5 stars!What I didn’t like: I can’t think of a thing.In sum: I really enjoyed this book, and you will, too, if you read pararomance. less
