Goodreads Summary:
You
can run from your past, but it will always catch up.
Nastasya has lived for hundreds of years, but for some reason it never seems to get any easier. She’s left behind her days of debauchery to find peace and forgiveness at River’s Edge, a safe haven for wayward immortals. There she’s uncovered her family’s epic history, reclaimed her magickal powers, and met Reyn, whom she dubs “the Viking god.” Just as she settles into her new life, Nastasya learns that her old friends might be in town....
Reuniting with her gorgeous and dangerous ex-best-friend, Innocencio, Nas wonders if she’ll ever be truly free of her dark legacy. Is Incy dangerous, power-hungry, and wicked? Or is he the only one who truly understands Nas’s darkness? Either way, Nas is desperate to find out who she really is-even if the answer kills her.

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed
this book towards the end but, it took a while for me to really feel like this
one felt like a sequel to the first book at all. The beginning half of this
book felt much like reading the first
book which was what initially disappointed me, I wanted new action, new
characters, and Natasya to show growth and to finally move forward, and towards
the end the book improved a lot.
Natasya was
just as frustrating a character as she was in the first book, she was making
progress in her immortal rehab but, she was doubting herself left and right and
I was ready to see her take more responsibility and recovery in her life. It wasn't till the end that I really felt
that she was going to embrace everything she was learning and finally turn into the woman that she has been wanting
to be all along.
Although I
was so disappointed that Nas went back to her old friends after everything she
went through to get away from them but, it definitely spiced up the book and
brought the action I was waiting for through the dragging first half of the
book.
Overall,
Darkness Falls failed to grab me through the first half but, definitely picked
up towards the end and has convinced me to continue to read the last book and
find out the ending of Nas's story.

aww, I actually really enjoyed Darkness Falls, way more than Immortal Beloved. Though I LOVED Endlessly the most!! I can't wait to read your review of the last book!

Glad it improved a lot towards the end and you got some of the action and character development you wanted. I haven't read the first, but I've thought about it.
