ARC Review: Burn The Night {Dark Days #5} by Jocelynn Drake

 

 

 

 

The Great Awakening approaches…

After eons in exile, the naturi have broken their chains and now roam the Earth bent on revenge. It is the sworn duty of Mira, the Fire Starter, to protect the Nightwalker race—though even she may be powerless to withstand the horrific onslaught. As Mira and her brave lover, the vampire slayer Danaus, stand ready to do battle, thousands of winged shapeshifters darken the skies. The war of ultimate extermination has begun, and the battleground is Mira’s home turf.

The humans don’t yet recognize the doom descending upon them. And the Nightwalkers will surely perish unless they unite with outcast naturi who claim to want peace. But these unexpected “allies” are the same demons who have long worked for Mira’s destruction—and in these darkest of days the lines between friend and foe will blur treacherously before the bloody end of all things.

Burn the Night: The Final Dark Days Novel

*Only minor Spoilers for the previous books in the series

Another bittersweet ending to one of my all time favorite series. What’s with 2011 and Urban Fantasy series coming to a close, huh? It this some kind of foreboding into 2012? Huh? HUH?

Joking aside, a couple of years ago when I got to start reading the Dark Days series and got to know the Savannah Master, Mira, learned about her past, her life, her friends and her enemies, I never could have imagined how things would have turned out for this awesome character and for the Vampire Hunter, Danaus.

I mean, if you read that first encounter between Danaus and Mira, you think that the closest they will ever get is to killing each other, cut to FIVE books later and these two “kids” are one of my favorite couples.  

Well, that isn’t to day that the road to happiness has been easy, or that Burn The Night closes off with them both riding off into the sunset for a Happily Ever After, but for a world full of vicious enemies, betrayal and constant violence, one has to grab happiness wherever one can, right?

Burn The Night is a fantastic ending to this superb series. It doesn’t really read like an ending though, ‘cause you just know that peace won’t last, but Jocelynn does wrap up all the loose ends and I doubt any fan of the series will be feel disappointed. There are a lot of surprises and amazing action in this novel, not to mention we finally get the romance we have been waiting for, for forever it seems LOL.

If you are a fan of the series I guarantee you’ll be satisfied by what Drake has done with these beloved characters, if you have yet to check this series out, I absolutely recommend the Dark Days books to any Urban Fantasy fan out there, it’s a must read!
