Chance the Darkness (The Dark Series #1) - L.A. Wild

A few posts ago, I mentioned that I totally judge books by their covers. Chance the Darkness was no different. The minute I saw the cover, I knew I had to read this book.


 Just look at it. It's gorgeous!


My theory proved right yet again. This book has got everything I long for in a good story. Great plot. Strong female lead. Mystery. Rituals. I could go on and on, but you get the idea.


L.A. Wild's strength lies in her use of description. Her prose is strong and her imagery in the scenes that play out in Summer Keese's mind make you question reality right along with Summer. And as you cheer for her? As you stand up and say 'get 'em'? You're wondering just who - and what - you are cheering for. 


The problem with this read is that you will want to sit down and finish it in one sitting. Which was a problem for me since I was at my day job when I first started reading it. Whenever I would finish a chapter, or have to put the book down, I kept going back over what I'd just read in my head trying to piece together the parts I'd read while trying to figure out what to expect when I picked it back up again.


Bottom line is this: Chance the Darkness was like crack to the detective in me. I felt Summer's madness...and her action scenes were amazing. When I reached the last page, I knew I'd be signing up for book two.
