Darkness Of Light Darkness Series Book 1 eBook Stacey Marie Brown
I read this book years ago, but apparently never gave an opinion.... I love this author. She writes well and the plot is developed. There are some character flaws that you can easily overlook if you enjoy good chemistry between main characters.Ember was written well, and I can understand how an 18 year old would only be concerned about the boy....but it got so extreme that Ember comes off really shallow at times. It makes her unattractive.
Eli.....is a great read. Stacey gives you just enough information to keep you flipping the page.
Love this world and the characters Stacey writes. Try this one.

Day of Light (Darkness Series Book 1) by Stacie Marie Brown
I received this book for free from the author for an honest review. I was not paid, nor do I receive any benefit from the author.
Day of Light was a strong start to a series. It starts of a bit slow for an adult, but it is great for youth!! This is set in a school for outcasts basically where Ember finds herself after a really crappy cop seems to constantly have it out for her. He also seems to have it out for Eli, a hunk of a man who is about 6 years her senior, or so she believes. However, he is of a different race/species altogether. So is she!
It is interesting to go along on this journey with her finding out who she is, who Eli is, and why she always feels she doesn’t belong. This was also the only real thing I found frustrating about the book too. I wanted to know what she was. It took almost til the end of the book to find out who and or what she truly is. Eli has a brother who is a total jerk, and how he plays a role is also interesting, but so is Torin.
If I could say anything, negative it would be that I wanted to see what happened to Eli, and to bring the info of who she is, into the picture quicker. But other than that there was only (I counted) 4 typos or grammatical errors in the whole book. Two of those a word was missing but easy enough to figure out.
I do like the book and am looking forward to the next book in the series. It states in the description that there are explicit sexual situations, however, not really. The average parent would likely be ok with it. However, maybe I am not average, but there were zero sex scenes. The worst parts were her saying she wouldn’t stop it if it was going there but it never did. Clothes started to come off in one paragraph but not graphic, her shirt stayed on, and he unsnapped her bra to look at her tattoo so nothing bad. Really really mild! Any teen has heard worse at school.
Overall, great beginning! Was slightly slow to get started, likely because I am an adult, but she created GREAT scenes, so it kept me reading because I could see what she was talking about.
It is a very rare occasion when I take the time to give a book my review, but this was so awful that if I can dissuade even one person from reading this garbage, then my effort will be worth it.
I am honestly shocked at all of the five-star reviews for this book. The only reason I gave it even one star was because the basic concept of the story and the world building was great, if it only it hadn't been ruined by the awful characters and painfully slow progression of the actual story.
Let's start with the two main characters the heroine and her love interest. The author was obviously trying to go for a strong, independent heroine who sometimes made headstrong decisions in the spur of the moment. That's not how she turned out at all. Instead she came across as painfully childish and naive, brash and full of obviously false bravado, and unable to make an intelligent thought-out decision even if her life depended on it. And her taste in men! Her love interest was - let's face it - a sleazy jerk with no respect for women. I saw absolutely no reason for the heroine to be attracted to this guy, except for his apparent sexiness, which is a really shallow and stupid reason to get romantically involved with an obviously dangerous man who she's knows literally nothing about. The entire time she was getting to know this guy he was treating her like garbage and I honestly saw no positive treatment towards the heroine whenever he was with her, unless you want to count the times another guy got too near her or treated her wrong and he went all alpha-male possessive over her even though he couldn't stand to be around her only a minute earlier, which I think, rather than showing that he cares about her deep down, actually shows he thinks of her as a possession that another guy isn't allowed to touch. His true character becomes obvious when you take into account that while he was shamefully flirting and kissing the heroine, he was already in a serious relationship with another woman and showed no remorse whatsoever on cheating on this woman. Not only this, but he also ended up choking the heroine once when he got pissed at her, and not in a bdsm way, he was just pissed off. Honestly, the fact that the heroine still kept running back to this guy even though he treated her worse than a dog made me lose all respect for her and really killed this book for me. I'm sorry, but this is not the kind of behavior that we should be teaching teenagers is okay. Girls should have enough common sense to know not to go anywhere obviously dangerous and abusive men, no matter how sexy, especially when they're already taken. And putting up with that kind of verbal and physical abuse? Definitely not okay, and definitely not something young women should think they need to put up with just because the guy is sexy and they're "inexplicably" drawn to them.
Putting aside the mind-numbingly awful characters, the pacing of the story was just wrong and way too slow. The first 60% of the story was wasted on the heroine's and her love interest's twisted and drama filled relationship that had me gagging the whole way. I put up with it because I kept thinking to myself, "oh, they'll get to the heroine's actual problems soon and then the story will pick up the pace, it's not like she can ignore her problems forever, especially because they're getting a lot worse." But ignore the more pressing issues she did. For more than two-thirds of the book she did just that, while flirting with her abusive- already-taken-not-boyfriend the whole way before the story finally, finally got somewhat interesting. However, by then I hated the characters so much, and the road getting to that point was so painful that it wasn't even worth the effort.
In conclusion if you like immature, shallow heroines who are attracted for no reason whatsoever to abusive bad boys who are already taken, and would love to hear about the impending mind-numbing drama of their abuse-filled relationship for the next two-thirds of the book before finally getting to the fantasy part of this fantasy/romance book, then congratulations, this book is for you!
I read this book years ago, but apparently never gave an opinion.... I love this author. She writes well and the plot is developed. There are some character flaws that you can easily overlook if you enjoy good chemistry between main characters.
Ember was written well, and I can understand how an 18 year old would only be concerned about the boy....but it got so extreme that Ember comes off really shallow at times. It makes her unattractive.
