Rising Darkness (Rylee Adamson, #9)

by Shannon Mayer

I picked up the first book in the series, Priceless on a whim a few years ago. It was on sale for $0.79, I liked the cover and the blurb drew me in. I hadn't really read any urban fantasy prior to it but I've always loved fantasy and the idea of a more grown up fantasy grabbed me. And it was perfect. Everything I expected and so much more. I proceeded to demolish the remaining available books and Shannon Mayer has fast become one of my favourite authors. All of the books are full of fast paced, well written plots, hysterically funny lines and lots of heart. The characters worm their way under your skin until you're cheering with them at their successes and sobbing with them at their failures. Couldn't recommend the series more highly and will certainly be rereading many many times.

Pamela's really struggling. I like this though.

“Pamela, you are a part of my family, and family means that no matter how angry, or stupid we are, we still fight for each other. No matter how fucking stupid we are, or how hurt our feelings are, we stand together.

Family is important.

Well, well, well. Look at Faris stepping up. Still waiting for the knife though - he's kinda dodgy.

Jeez Pamela you know how stupid this is.

The dragon–who did not look pleased by this announcement—snapped her jaws. Fine by me. When the master kills him, I will snap his bones and shit out his innards. I froze. “What did you just say?” She ducked her head away from me. Nothing. Forget I spoke.

And come on. Seriously? After that - you get on the dragon! Where are your brains?

Rylee what the hell? Don't you think you've wasted enough time NOT TALKING TO PAM!!!!

Liam? Faris? Liam? Weird as fuck.

Damn Doran - your timing could be better.

And again. Fucking Faris. Bloody hell. What a mess.

God this series is addictive. Lmfao.

There was a dip in the air currents, which threw me once more against Faris who wrapped his arms around me. But it wasn’t his eyes. Liam spoke. “He doesn’t know how to get rid of me. He invited me in, and now we seem to be more than a little bit stuck. ”

It's nice to see Faris get screwed by his own plan for once.

And yet. Fucking Faris.

Aww Pamela.

Yeah Faris reap what you sowed.

Okay fine. I'm not hating Frank.

Yes jumping off the flying dragon seems like a fantastic idea.

Jeez. I just don't even know where to begin with the whole Liam/Faris/Liam thing.

Oh my god. My heart is breaking for Pamela.


BERGET AS MY sister? Wonderful. Berget as a vampire? Groovy. Berget as a teenage driver? “We’re going to die,” Alex whispered in the back of the mini-van we pinched.

Yeah when Alex thinks you're a bad driver...


Ugh for fucks sake. Fucking Faris.

Hehe go Pamela! Go Frank! Hot damn. Frank has abilities.

Jeez. Pamela. Orion. Didn't see that coming.

Aww tell me Lark isn't at the Castle. Fk.

But I've just warmed up to Frank. You can't take him now. And Milly? Again?


Booyah! Pamela is back. Total badass.


And Alex!
