Darkness Rising

Katie Reus — 2019

Read the final book in the DARKNESS series as New York Times bestselling author Katie Reus wraps up this action-packed series with Darkness Rising, a National Readers Choice Award winner (paranormal category)! When a bringer of death… Awakened after millennia, dragon warrior Reaper is ready to fulfill his destiny…until he sees Greer. With one glimpse, everything Reaper has ever known throughout his very long life is irrevocably changed. Greer’s his mate, he feels it in his blood, in his soul—but convincing her is another matter. The dragon clan healer finds him obnoxious and annoying, but he knows a woman’s interest when he smells it. And Greer smells like one word: mine. Meets a giver of life… Greer has spent hundreds of years using her healing abilities for the good of others, making her the polar opposite of Reaper. The ferocious war general may be an ancient, but his arrogance proves he hasn’t spent any of that time learning about women. Greer is displeased when her Alpha sends her to New Orleans with the insufferable warrior—then she sees him in action against a menace threatening to tear the city apart. Fierce, protective, magnificent…mate-worthy. Except he’s hiding something from her. Something dark and devastating that could destroy their newly forged bond. Maybe opposites doattract, but if they want to live long enough to find out, they’ll first have to save the world teetering on the brink of obliteration. Length: NOVEL Author note: This is the final book in the Darkness series and can be read as a stand-alone.

Reaper had the kind of reputation that sent chills down the spines of his enemies. One of the fiercest warriors of their kind, he went into hibernation eons ago. Now he has been awoken and when he emerges from the earth, the first being he meets is one of his own kind. But to say Reaper is out of touch is an understatement! He is going to have to take a crash course in 21st-century living before every female he comes across decided to take a bite out of him (and not in a nice way!) Greer is stunned when this huge dragon warrior dives into her life. She is a healer, not a warrior, but doesn't mean she is defenceless. Pity this stupid-ass ancient dragon won't listen to her. But when she realises that he was awoken with a particular task in mind and that he just so happens to b her mate - well that's a game changer! Well, there is a whole lot going on in this final book of the Darkness series. There are heartbreaking moments and lots of swearing, especially with Reper's attitude towards Greer! However, in all, it's a great read with twists and turns and although there is a HEA for out leads, the same cannot be said for the rest of the world! Great to see the obnoxious, out-of-date ancient warrior falling for a very capable, Healer who had a trick or two up her sleeves!
