Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 5) by India Kells – Review by Jaclyn DeTullio

Dark Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The word dark is right there in the title, and it certainly fills the inside of the story. Mental health issues, trauma, emotional exhaustion.. it’s all here. The book starts heavy, with Sam coming to the unfortunate conclusion that he’s reached the end of his rope. He doesn’t see a way to keep going, and doesn’t want to be the “weak link”. By chance he calls the wrong number, and that was all the reason he needed to keep going. Even if he thought it was only temporary, to help Ellie.

Ellie was wrung dry from life, her job. Her soul was weary and dark, much like Sam’s. Them finding each other was a blessing and a curse. A curse because of Sam’s awful Father. This book was heavy, but by the ending there was light and I finished with a smile.
