5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended Read
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2022

With 'The Dark', E.K. Frances again immerses you into her world of the all-too-human, but highly powerful Alphas, giving her characters even more depth and showing all their very real faults and frailties.

I enjoyed reading and highly recommend The Dark, though you cannot but feel so for the entirely misunderstood and feared Sebastian, her long-suffering protagonist, as well as so many of the other characters. Frances creates a world of these such evolved people that are still being manipulated by myth, superstition and fear. That betrayal and deceit abound and it's hard to see who is your true ally at any given moment. Or what really happens in the dark.

In a world of those that are 'Light' and 'Dark', and overall brutal in their treatment of what they don't understand, Seb has only ever fleetingly been happy and free from torture. You find that the strength of his character is not his Light or Power, but in his ability to see beyond himself and his tormentors.

I enjoy Frances's writing, both in style and in content. The stories, while very dark and brutal, show the resilience of her characters and their ability to find and show love and take solace in the most dire circumstances. That they are believable, real and human, even while being something very different.

When I finished 'The Dark', I got that emptiness that always comes when you leave an engrossing story, because I had become part of it; I inserted myself in the story and now don't want it to end.
At least in this case, I know there's another volume coming. Well done.

I have cried through 3 books and can't seem to stop. Please give Seb a happy ending. Don't make him endure all of this just to end up dead or miserable.

2.0 out of 5 stars I have so many questions 🫠
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2023

After the last book, I hoped things would be a lot more smoother. Maybe the MC actually turns dark to go on rampage. However, he did not which I thought was great. But a bigger HOWEVER, is the choices made in this book. Why would he go back to the person the planned a murder and locked him away in the tower?! Why would he be beaten up and then let go also, why would he agree to be at a disadvantage?! Yeah it is explained but I don’t think it made any sense. I’m just hoping NOW, things can be a lot more straightforward and less complicated.

1.0 out of 5 stars a book filled with nothing but victims.

This atrocity is filled with victims. No one ever becomes stronger. The author must be pretty troubled himself to write a book that focuses on victimhood.

2.0 out of 5 stars Story
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2023
I did like the books but at this point it gets boring and frustrating. How it’s possible that after all the things SEB is suffering he is still believing the same people over and over. He seems stupid at this point . Really . I understand giving another chance but really .. over and over.. being torture again and do the same thing again. I this point I just want to read the end and skip the other books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great continuation of the ‘light vs. dark’ Hybrid series
Reviewed in Canada on September 30, 2022

Great continuation of the ‘light vs. dark’ Hybrid series by E.K. Frances. Intriguing read as the character arcs develop and the storyline gets darker, through pain and suffering. The tortured soul, Seb, is still trying to figure out where he fits in and who are his true allies. I usually gravitate to lighter reading material, but this one is so well written that I couldn’t look away, even when I wanted to. Frances keeps you reading and rooting for Seb to find a some happiness and relief with little glimmers of light, his true spirit shining through. Like his 'sweet' relationship with Adam, his quest to help the children of necros and his unbidden love for Sam. Highly recommended to fans of dark fantasy!

Seb continues to be betrayed by all and sundry. The president is playing a double game where Seb is the prise and in the end looses . Seb also is trying to sort out his feelings for Sam and what it means for them both. What will it be like once he steps over the white line into the darkness.
