Summary
AHHHHH!!! PEOPLE! GO AND GET THIS
BOOK NOW! I beg you. This, my
friends, is a breathtaking, heart pounding book with a totally swoon-worthy boy
with a rather large secret. The Dark
World is a hilarious book with witty humor, demons, warlocks and ghosts.
(Shout out to Dottie, the 1950’s ghost with awesome dating advice!) We have
demons after Paige, the girl who can talk to both the Dark and Light world,
also known as a Traveler and a valuable weapons for both the warlocks and the
demons. She has people after talent, but there’s a tiny issue with the whole
using her power causing her to get weaker and die. Just a tiny issue. Also,
Logan the dude who was assigned to protect her, *swoonnsss* and their whole
relationship was just *muffles laughter*
So let’s talk about Logan. I mean what’s all the fuss about? Right?
Fine. I’ll just show you.
Exhibit A: “In the story of my
life, that's where you cracked the spine of the book. The mark is there, forever
tattooed on my narrative and I couldn't be happier.” WOAH MAN WOAH! He’s writes letters. He can
actually write. Oh sweetlord, someone
(preferably Logan) catch me. A hot, sweet, shy, strong, funny boy who can
write. I’m done. I am so done. *grins like a maniac*
Exhibit B: He messed up guys. I
know, I was shocked too. But he admitted his mistake and he tried to remedy it
in the simplest yet utterly romantic way: he was going to wait for her to come
to terms with the secret and wait for her to talk to him when she was ready.
*le sigh* And when she did talk to him he was so so so sweet and understanding
and sorry and he thought that they were over. She was all like I don’t think
so, not yet anyway. And he was so happy.
She was like I have a few questions. He was just like anything. I’ll tell you anything. Just please don’t leave. Not in
those exact words but God, it was perfect.
They just sat and talked. This book was
totally PG- there was hardly any kissing even but lord was it romantic. Their
dynamic was just pure awesome. They were comfortable with each other, but shy and
timid. They laughed and fought and saved and hoped and helped the other have somewhere
to belong.
Can you tell I like romance? This
wasn’t even the biggest part of the book though.
Yes, there’s more. . .
The biggest part was the fact
that Paige was wanted by both sides of the revolution. After an accident she
was able to talk to ghosts. When the Dark Worlders find out about this, they
send demons to abduct her and Logan protects her and teaches her to fight. It
amazes me how strong and brave she was. She wasn’t whiny and weak like a lot of
female leads when they have a male to look out for them. That sold me on this
book right there. Okay, fine, maybe it just made it more appealing.
The plot was intriguing and the
characters were kick butt and the writing was perfect for this kind of book. The dynamic, Dottie, the romance, the action, the
plot, the questions and the very high school like high school made this book the perfect book to get me out of my
reading slump!
The Dark World has been on my radar. Great to read a positive review :)
