Review: Free the Dark

Title: Free the Dark
Series: Elwood Legacy Trilogy
Author: Nicola Rose




The world is descending into devastating chaos. There’s a new enemy to mankind on the horizon… it’s me.

I’m ready to let go of morality. It’s time to play.

But how much ‘fun’ is too much when you’ve accidentally triggered the vampire apocalypse?! Are there any lines left that shouldn’t be crossed?

There’s a brand new hunger under my skin, and it wants more. More of Alex’s darkness, more of Zac’s light—

The two don’t go together, but that doesn’t stop the pull in my chest, or the ravenous shadowy beat that strikes a constant melody in my soul, driving me forward, destruction in my wake.

Can I really side with vampires and stand by as humanity is lost?

Because once that darkness is set free, pulling it back might be beyond my capabilities…

Read the darkly delicious conclusion to the Elwood trilogy today!
From slow burn paranormal romance to vampires bringing humanity to its knees – this is one thrilling ride you don’t want to miss!

Review:

*This is the conclusion in the Elwood Legacy trilogy and Taste the Dark and Burn the Dark MUST be read first.

Jess has let go and embraced the darkness with Alex, living on the mantra of blood sex fire and death for weeks, accidently bringing forth the vampire apocolypse. But nothing and no one will get in her way and stop her. Not even Zac, who is always there. His light not far from where Jess and Alex leave destruction and chaos in their wake. But something under Jess's skin wants more. Will all be lost, or will Jess be able to reign in her darkness, and save the vampire and human race from extinction?

This book was the conclusion to the Elwood trilogy, and got darker and dirtier than the first two. Bringing forth an apocolypse, the world in a frenzy of destruction, chaos, and war Jess has to decide if she wants to continue on with having her feelings buried, and thriving in the darkness and fun of being a new vampire-witch hybrid, or to flip the switch and let in her feelings and the light and find some morality. The love triangle is still very much in play- she undoubtably loves Alex, but the bond between her and Zac is still present. Now the trio has to face off not only with the unfinished business with the Bael, but also the humans and the catastrophic consequences of the Morena Legacy. Will they survive, or will the apocalypse doom them all? I loved loved loved this story and how everything played out. Alex was still my favorite, and the war within himself. I have a thing for assholes, alphas, & bad boys and Alex fit that perfectly. Especially since he was a vampire. And Zac still warred with his beast even after the events of book two. And Jess grew into her own. Owning her vampirism, and powers. Taking control. These characters have owned me, filled me up, and left me wanting more. Amazing finale to an amazing trilogy. 4.5⭐ out of 5⭐

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties. You can find my  Original Review Here . This is a romantasy why choose romance full o...
