Ouaw ! Quel plaisir de lire ce livre ! J'avais vraiment adoré le premier tome, mais celui-ci dépasse de loin mes espérances ! Je suis devenu accro à Nasty, à son histoire, à sa répartie et à ses réflexions ! Puis le monde des Immortels est juste passionnant ! Cet opus m'a vraiment beaucoup plu ! Cate Tiernan a vraiment un don pour nous transmettre de nombreuses émotions et nous faire vivre ses romans !

We are lucky ! I'm just so happy to be french right now. I read Immortal Beloved at the beginning of september and I was eagerly waiting for the second one Darkness Falls. But then I saw that the release date has been changed to January 2012... I was mad but as I said we are lucky in France because the release date was still September 14th ! I didn't know if I wanted to read it in french because I don't really like reading a translation of a book especially an english book... Fortunetely I still

DARKNESS FALLS focuses on Nastasya's fears and how she chooses to deal with this emotion; she has strong magick powers, but doesn't know anything about them, her belief that she is too tainted by her colourful and long past to save, her attraction to Reyn feels wrong considering their shared history and scares her and how when she tries to help others she always seems to end up hurting them.

First Impressions: I was definitely looking forward to reading Darkness Falls after finishing Immortal Beloved. I enjoyed the first book very much and I was excited to see where the plot would go and how the characters would change. I was also hoping for a bit more action in Darkness Falls since Immortal Beloved had a slow start. Not to mention, the cover is of course, gorgeous!

Nasty’s time at River’s Edge hasn’t been easy. Changing your whole life around doesn’t happen in one day. But Nasty’s gotten used to life there – even waking up before dawn to collect chicken eggs doesn’t seem so bad anymore. But soon, everything starts going wrong. Nasty seems to mess up everything she touches. Her New Year’s resolution to cast off her darkness seems to have been thrown back in her face – darkness is everywhere, infecting her and her surroundings. She’s hurting people she cares

I can't imagine reading this book without having read the first book. Not that the reader can't catch up because the story of the first book is reiterated in this one. I just so enjoyed the development of the relationships and revealing of Nastasya's past and connection with other characters (Reyn) which sets the stage so very well.
Once again, Nastasya's strong personality is the selling point. Her internal dialogue makes me laugh out loud. If you've read it, shout out if you remember More...

Okay, well, this is kind of awkward since I came across this book first and didn't know it was the middle child of a trilogy. I usually say that the second book in a trilogy is the weakest one, but I read this novel as a stand alone. Color me shocked - I thought it was good enough for a standalone!

DARKNESS FALLS is an entertaining sequel to IMMORTAL BELOVED that falls a little short. While it was enjoyable, I felt like it was missing...something. The action was barely there until the end and the synopsis doesn't even begin to play out until the middle of the story. It does end on a happier note so I will be anxiously awaiting the last book in the trilogy.
Nastasya was much less annoying and immature than in IMMORTAL BELOVED. She has grown so much since first coming to Riv More...

Natasya has been at River's Edge, a rehabilitation farm for gods and goddesses gone bad, for two months now. Natasya wants to leave behind her over four hundred years of darkness, but she's afraid she can't. What if her darkness is just part of her, and no matter how hard she tries she can never be rid of it? She's also confused about her feelings for Reyn. Reyn's family is the reason that Natasya has no family, and her family is the reason Reyn has no family, so why do they feel so drawn to

Nastasya is still at River's Edge, where she's trying to be a better person. She's immortal and has done a lot of awful things in her life. But when her best friend cripples someone for being rude to them, she knew she needed to make a change, which is how she ended up at River's Edge to begin with. In this book, she's struggling with her attraction to Rehn (whose family slaughtered hers centuries ago) and with the awful things that she's done and allowed to be done.

Have you been in the middle of reading a new book and thought, I've read this before?! Darkness Falls, as a continuation of Immortal Beloved, felt like the exact same story as its predecessor. Much to my disappointment, it was a filler book that focused on the inevitable relapse that I knew was coming for Nastasya.

I still think this is a good series, but this instalment didn't capture my imagination as much as the previous one. Basically, there wasn't enough Reyn and Incy just wasn't a strong enough villain to keep the momentum going.

In Immortal Beloved, Nastasya realized that something had to change. In Darkness Falls, she is tempted back to her old ways, frightened by the darkness threatening to take over her.
Nastasya is a precious character with her sense of humor. If you want a book with a different kind of not-so-heroic protagonist, one with snark and her own style, Nastasya is the one to look out for. Seriously, a page doesn't go by where she doesn't keep me vested in her story. You know that feeling of rea More...

his book picked up where the last one left off. Nas is still fighting off Reyn, ( though I have no idea why, but sheesh, I'd be all over him!). In the first book, Nas dealt with coming off of bad friends and a bad life. This time she is fighting not only her friends coming back for her, but her dealing with her bad past.
I really enjoyed this plot of the book. Nas took her past painfully. She blamed herself for a lot of it. She was just carrying a lot of her shoulders. It's hard to let More...

Five stars because I had to read this in a single day, because I was thoroughly - and shamelessly - satisfied with the ending, and because Tiernan's writing is just so. damn. good. I love the way she seemlessly incorporates flashbacks from different eras of Natasya's 450+ years. I usually get frustrated with such interruptions in a narrative, if they are too frequent. But here, with a few exceptions, they are just as engaging and vital as the main narrative. I almost gave it four stars, because

Wow. I was a bit disappointed in this follow-up to Immortal Beloved. That was one of my favorite books for 2011 and I am sad to say that I don't think Darkness Falls lives up to the standard set by the first book. With choppy transitions from nothing happening to EVERYTHING happening, it barely held my interest during the first part and had me captivated by the ending.

Like the first book, this one has several slow scenes at the begining that are realy just Nastaya being snarky and feeling guilty or un-worthy. But for being so self-absorbed, she's still an interesting character because she's always running away and learning things the hard way. And after the intensely creepy ending, I really feel like she's ready to finally accept her birthright and acknowledge her budding relationship with the Viking God.
