I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I had read several bad reviews, some even saying they couldn't finish reading it. I actually found it a step above a lot of other paranormal books I've been reading lately. Sure, it wasn't great literature, but I'd say it had a little more depth to it compared to the last book I read "A Charmed Death". I'd say "When Darkness Comes" is two-demensional as opposed to Damsgaards one dimension. I was really into the first half of the book. The second half became extremely confusing for me. The author was mixing vampires, humans, shallots, wizards, demons, etc etc..I couldn't always keep track of what was what and who was who. A vampire is a demon and a wizard is a human but magical....ok...
At the end of the book, there was the first chapter of the next book in the trilogy, and it looks really interesting.....something about the demon slave trade. I'd be interested in reading the second book.

I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one. The witty sarcasm from the heroine made me laugh out loud many times (reminded me of myself). And Dante is quite delicious! Enjoy!

Wallbanger, I didn't finish it. The author sounds junior high school, and the dialoge reads like sibling squables.

The heroine is annoying enough that the uninspired plot isn't worth the effort. The hero is interesting, though. I may check this author out later.

It was good. Not a 'keeper' but I'll be watching out for the following books.

When Darkness Comes wasn't a book I 'couldn't put down'. It took me about a week to finish it, but I'm glad I did.

Anway, I enjoyed it.

Hope you do too!

I REALLY liked this book! The characters were engaging & neither of the main characters were too perfect. The story moved at a good pace and more than once I found myself laughing out loud at the snappy dialouge. I can't remember having read Alexandra Ivy's books in the past, but I thoroughly enjoyed her writing style and sense of humor.

While she may not have the intensity of Sherrilyn Kenyon, I must say I highly recommend this book if you're looking for a quick, fun read. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I've already picked up Book #2 in this series & can't wait to get started on Viper's story!

Never Tempt Fate

It's been a hell of a day for Abby Barlow. In just a few hours, she's survived an explosion, watched her employer die, had a startling dream, and now she finds herself in a seedy Chicago hotel with the sexy, unearthly Dante, a man she both desires and fears.

For 341 years, Dante has stood as guardian to The Chalice, a mortal woman chosen to hold back the darkness. A terrible twist of fate has now made Abby that woman. Three hours ago, Dante would have used all his charms to seduce her. Now she is his to protect. And he will do so until his very death.

A terrifying plan has been set in motion, one that will plunge Dante and Abby into an epic battle between good and eviland a desperate race to save their love
