Between Darkness & Light (War of Destiny Book 3) by Theresa Van Spankeren – Review by Lucy Machard

Between Darkness & Light by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(SPOILERS) (CONTENT WARNING- SELF HARM; SUICIDAL IDEATION)

This is the latest book released in the series, and it starts with Julia fighting the demons from the last book as she navigates life in Italy. Like in the first book, I do wish there had been a content warning for self harm and other heavy topics. Some of the language used when describing Julia’s self harm that can be heavily triggering for people who have struggled with SH in the past, and who still do. It doesn’t help that one of the characters that finds out about Julia’s mental health struggles also calls her insane while cleaning out her wounds, which honestly left a bad taste in my mouth. There was also some suicidal ideation in the beginning. However, it is fun to see the development of the writing style throughout the series, and the character development is done well, and the book has a sweet ending.
