Book Description:
"Of course you know waho I am. I'm a daughter of the darkness just as surely as you are his son…"
Ever since his brief encounter with Emilia at The Shade, Derek's thoughts and dreams have been haunted with images of the mysterious, beautiful brunette. Plagued with guilt, he struggles to understand why he is so drawn to this dark stranger from his past.
When Emilia suddenly appears again on the island, Derek is both terrified and intrigued. But this time, he is determined to involve Sofia and discover who this woman is.
If only Derek and Sofia knew, Emilia is a mystery that should be left undiscovered…
First
let me start of by saying, “Eeeeeeeeeee book five is finally here!”
A Blaze of Sun is the fifth
book in the Shade series following Derek and Sophia through several twists and
turns while they fight against the darkness to find true sanctuary for
themselves and everyone inside the shade. I’ve got to admit I’ve been done with
this book for a little while, but am just now writing the review because I
needed to let a few things settle in my mind.
Bella
Forrest is one of my favorite authors, I’ve loved every one of her books that I’ve
read so far and A Blaze of Sun wasn’t
any different. That being said, I wasn’t crazy about the first few chapters of
the book. Don’t get me wrong Bella’s style is still flawless, but I guess I
didn’t like the strain between Derek and Sophia and my hate for Emilia nearly blinded
me into a catatonic rage.
But
A Blaze of Sun quickly picked up the
pace and once again Bella had me enthralled in this mystical world she created.
One of the things I really loved about this book was all the different points
of view that we got to see. We also learned so much about the supporting
characters like Kyle, Ian, Camilla/Ingrid, and Aiden. I really enjoyed seeing
things from their perspective and reliving some memories through Sophia and
Derek’s eyes.
This
book was really a big stepping stone in the overall mythology of where the
darkness inside the vampires comes from and who has been pulling the strings
ever since Derek was put to sleep all those years ago. It’s actually incredibly
interesting and really, really good. The twist that you eventually find out
will blow your mind, no joke.
Poor
Derek and Sophia just can’t catch a break though. I feel terrible for them, but
all the pain and heartache they went through in the other books and in this one
are all worthwhile in the end. Bella manages to close the chapter on while big
bad, while opening the window for another to seamlessly climb through.
The
ending is probably my favorite part of the book…well the almost ending. The
last few chapters are intense, terrifying, and elating! I can’t begin to tell
you how blissfully happy I was despite the pending doom. Yes, pending doom
haha.
A
Blaze of Sun was definitely an amazing conclusion to part of the story and a
great starting point for the next main plot. I can’t wait to see how Bella ties
everything together!
