I legitimately waited months for this book. The Darkness Series is one of my favorite series to date. I love all things zombie related, and Kira took it to a whole new level with these books. And, as I expected, The Darkness Remains was just as amazing, if not more amazing, than the first two books in the series.

I loved Kira's books. And her Darkness series is my favourite. Cullen *sigh*. I love him. I mean I love all characters. Haha.
This part is showing us further how world is being destroyed and swamped by zombies. And how people are being people and using the situation to their advantage. Looking for easy and mostly brutal ways to be on top. To wield the power. To rule.
Kira perfectly shows how ugly people can get and how greedy they are. But also what she shows that there are always people who ...more

The Darkness Remains by Kira Adams: Things have calmed down for Ike, Phoenix and Cullen… They’ve got a good rhythm, what could go wrong? Don’t ask. Adams bring another instalment to the Darkness Falls series and it is action packed.
I like the last half, I wasn’t too crazy about the beginning half though. I felt it dragged a bit, that it was like info was kinda thrown at you just so you could be brought up to date. The ...more

The third book in Kira Adams’ Darkness Falls Series, The Darkness Remains, picks up the story mid-action. Phoenix, one of the three protagonists of the series, is on a plane which has just crashed in the sea. She’s having trouble remembering anything - even who she is - and has no idea where they are.
The Darkness Falls Series is set during a zombie apocalypse that has happened as a result of biological warfare. The narration is first person, changing between the three protagonists in each ...more

I have been looking forward to this book's release since I was left wanting more from the previous book, Emerging from Darkness. Kira does not disappoint with this book. She was able to keep my attention to the story and urge myself to continue reading all the way through in one sitting.
The story picks up where it left off in Emerging from Darkness, Phoenix is still missing and no one in the White House knows where she is nor does she know. Although Phoenix is missing, she, Cullen, and Ike ...more

This is a great follow up to Emerging from Darkness. It begins exactly where EFD left off. Instead where EFD was more focused on Cullen's story The Darkness Remains focuses on Ike's.
I enjoyed being in Ike's head at times but then at others I felt like I was going insane when he kept whining about the same things. I mean I get it. He's been through A LOT and after all that you're bound to suffer from some mental breakdown but sometimes it was just a little too much.

The Darkness Remains by Kira Adams starts off with a bang. This action packed thriller picks up right where the second book left off. Get ready for a heart pounding science fiction adventure.

Ace Cullen has awoken to find his love Phoenix has disappeared from his arms in the night. He sets off to find her in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.

I have been a huge fan of Kira Adams from the moment I started reading The Darkness Series.
This book is about Ike. I loved him in The Darkness Remains.

I have to say that Kira Adams never disappoints. While I am not an absolute fan of post-apocalyptic novels, I love Kira's writing, and have followed her since her first book, and absolutely love her characters, and her writing style. The Darkness Remains was well written, a highly anticipated novel, and picked up where Emerging From the Darkness finished. There was so much that happened throughout this novel that it is hard to decide where to start, and where to end. It all happened quickly, and

The Darkness Remains is a dystopian zombie apocalypse story, and book 3 in The Darkness series- by Kira Adams. This book has so much packed into the story- there is plenty of action, drama, suspense, mystery, adventure and romance. The story contains some very graphic, dark, violent and disturbing imagery in parts and really should only be read by adults from18 years of age and older.

The Darkness Remains by Kira Smith is a four star read. It's on the science fiction side. This is the first book I've ever read by this author. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters. This book definitely has all the makings of a good sci-fi movie. Phoenix is kidnapped so her blood can be used to create a pure human being. Most humans have been infected by a virus that leaves them susceptible to become zombie-like creatures referred to as biters. Phoenix, Ike, and Cullen have formed their

The Darkness Remains Kira Adams 4 star rating This story is a mixture of action, gore, and romance. Phoenix is brave, caring, strong and with Cullen next to her side they are unstoppable. With a zombie Apocalypse happening all around Ike has taken the lead to renew the world from the ground up in the White House. The book first starts off with Phoenix on an airplane not knowing how she got there with her memories erased and Cullen searching to save her in Fiji. They’re love cannot keep them away

Oh man I couldn't wait for this book and to figure out what happened to Phoenix and if Cullen would figure it out. Luckily my questions were answered right away but with that being said how they were answered regarding her abduction had a hand in my rating as well as a few other things. I rated the first two books a solid 4 stars but this one I'm rating 3.5 and usually I bump a 3.5 star book to 4. But I needed to differentiate this one from the other two books. It still had many of the aspects I

The Darkness Remains by Kira Adams is a great title for this dark tale of survivors. This was a quick but intense read that had me biting my nails. Without giving anything away this is a story of finding the people you are willing to die for and protecting them at all cost, because at the end of things, those are the ones that will die for you too. We cannot survive this world alone and Kira makes their world even harder to face. This story started off fast paced and barely slowed down enough

Phoenix has awoken to the sounds of screams and lapping waves which confuses her because she went to sleep in Cullen’s arms. Slowly gathering her surroundings she realizes she is in an airplane seat upside down. Soon enough she realizes that it’s not just any plane but Air Force One. This brings about may more questions but soon enough the only thoughts she has are of pure survival when she is captured by an indigenous tribe.

This is a well written, fast paced post-apocalyptic novel by Kira Adams. While this book can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend you read Book 1: Into the Darkness and Book 2: Emerging from Darkness. Especially if you are like me and this is the first “zombie” related book you read.

Phoenix, Cullen, and Ike have a hard way to go through this book. There are a few new people introduced to them and quite a few people they care about leave the story line as well. This book takes you through what it would be like to live through a zombie apocalypse. You get to see how they deal with the zombies and everyday tasks such as eating and bathing.

What a great story! This is definitely not a standalone, however, I did not read the first two and I still love this story! I didn’t even realize there was more to the story until about half way through, I was just waiting for the missing parts to be explained…now I know that the missing parts are Book 1 and 2, Into the Darkness and Emerging from Darkness. I can hardly wait to get reading those!

The Darkness Remains is Book Three in the Darkness Falls Series by Kira Adams. This series is of the paranormal variety revolving around a zombie apocalypse. I highly recommend reading the first two in the series before reading this novel. I gave this novel 4 out of 5 stars. The story is told from alternating POVs from the main characters: Ace Cullen, Ike Glass, and Phoenix Blue. These three characters have forged a family together while fighting over the last several years to save what’s left

Great zombie book
The Darkness Remains by Kira Adams is the third book in the Darkness series and I feel it's is very important that you read the first two books before you read this one as this book picks up where the last one ends. This book continues with the story of the virus outbreak and Phoenix’s, Cullen’s and Ike’s story. When Phoenix goes missing right from Cullen’s arms he does everything he can to find her while Ike steps up as the leader to their group. When the world is falling ...more

If you have not read the first two books in the Darkness Falls series, you will be completely lost at least for the beginning of the book. We find ourselves with Phoenix and Jose tied down, being used as human blood bags one at a time. Who is doing it and why? Who is President Jackson? What happens when Cullen searches for Phoenix? We find ourselves bouncing between at least three different points of view in this book. Makes the reading a bit more interesting, to see how Ike and the 12 others at

I love this book and series. If you have not read books 1 and 2, then I highly recommend reading them first so you understand what's going on.
This book is well written, smooth flowing and easy to read. The main characters Phoenix, Cullen and Ike were met in the first book. At the end of book 2, Phoenix is missing. Book 3 starts where Book 2 ended. The group is at the White House seeking safety and a way to produce the antiserum.
I don't want to post any spoilers so I will keep details to myself. ...more

In accordance with similar warnings, let me preface this by saying this book will not be for everyone. It's dark (um ya the title sorta leads you to that...) it's emotional (well Kira Adams isn't all sunshine and rainbows) and it gets ugly. Even after the horrific events in books 1 and 2, I don't think I could have been prepared for this third book. Ike and Phoenix and Cullen oh my! Things get twisted, and creepy and you just never know who to trust until the last few chapters, and even then

In love with this 3rd book!
I am a huge fan of Kira's and have read every book she has released. They are all great, but this series is my favorite. I am so in love with the characters in this series, but Phoenix and Cullens relationship is my favorite.
