My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ll start off by saying that I did not read the first books in the series, however I stick found it enjoyable. The main character Julia gives a recap in the beginning of her past, that helped slightly but once I got into the story I got the gist of things. Julia is dealing with the consequences of her betrayal of her Ka-tet. It’s like a bonded group of Vampires. She feels herself losing her mind all the while yearning to fix things between her and her friends. But honestly some betrayals are just too much to forgive. The fear of her apparitions returning and ruining her life again, has her seeking aid from Mathew who at first is very reluctant to be near her again but eventually realizes that something more sinister is happening .
The author has constructed an amazing world lore around Vampires and I think most will enjoy it.

Between Darkness & Light (War of Destiny Book 3) by Theresa Van Spankeren

Between Darkness & Light is the third book in the War of Destiny series. This is a Paranormal Fantasy that I truly enjoyed reading. This is a fast paced story that once you start reading its really hard to put down. I highly recommend reading the first two books if you haven’t already started them as they are just as good as this one. Julia is back and tales us on quite the adventure .She finds herself having to ask for help with repairing relationships. Her and Matthew are determined to figure out who is behind Destiny being altered? Can they figure it out? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

This is not just another book. It draws you in and actually has depth. You really get to see more into Samuel and you get to learn more about Julia also. There are some interesting new characters. It has more action, romance, and friendship.

In the third installment, Julia is plagued by apparitions that only she can see and hear. This causes her to betray people she calls family to Valentino, The King of Vampires.

The last thing Matthew wants to see is Julia after her betrayal. He is finally building a new life for himself.

I really enjoyed this novel. I couldn’t stop myself from reading. The author has a way of making one invested in the characters and the consequences of their actions.

I don’t want to give too much away but I highly suggest reading this series.

I saw that there will be a fourth novel and I am really excited.

The first time I’m reading a book from this series. I really appreciated the prolog which helped me figure out a bit about the main character and how her vampire family was bound together for a purpose. Julia shares her troubles and learns to ask for help which is new to her. I felt a connection to Julia and her family as they work together. Overall I enjoyed the book even though I may have missed the earlier books.

This is the third installment in the series and it really blew me away. Our writer has a very unique writing style and really knows how to take her time and let the characters, plot, and storyline develop beautifully. Her characters show such development and emotions that its hard to not feel like your right in the middle of story going through everything the characters are. Full of actions, emotions, consequences and more this story will blow you out of the water.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed the first two books of this series immensely. This one is written so differently than the previous two but once again is a masterpiece.

Julia and her relationship with the Ka-tet is shattered after she betrayed them in the previous book. Especially her relationship with Matthew. She is basically disowned by him. Matthew has moved away from the others and started a new life on his own. When Julia’s leader disappears suddenly, she seeks out Matthew to help.

The author once again built an amazing world and the people within. Even though this book was significantly different, it still had me in a vice and I had to finish it! I enjoyed ‘watching’ Julia deal with the consequences and her feelings towards everything that has happened.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the War Of Destiny Series and I loved it. The author does such a good job with the story and the characters. The story had me totally gripped and spellbound through it all. This book deal with some dark emotions such as guilt, regret, despair and at times complete helplessness.

Julie is back. After her actions from the last book we find her being shunned by her vampire family. If that wasn’t bad enough she also has to deal with the guilt for the loss of some of their people due to her actions. She sees no way through this and when she starts to see and hear people who aren’t there things get progressively worse. While she is dealing with theses feelings and the fear she is going mad, Samuel goes missing.

He is devasted by what has happened and when he disappears Julia knows she needs to find him and fast. Will he accept her presence? Will she get to him before its too late?

Add to this the dangers of the Hunters that have arrived and when one of the Hunters looks familiar to Julie this raises more questions.
Once you start this series you won’t be able to put it down and this one just adds to the already amazing series

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book three of the series. What a fantastical ride it is. Julia must work with her ka-tet to help her, even with them lacking faith due to her working with Valentino in the last book. Julie and Matthew must save Simon, battle apparitions, and help a rogue vampire. There is a lot going on in the story. This is why it is so good. I was pulled in from the beginning and just couldn’t put it down. I had to continue to know how things were going for Julia. Her loyalies are being tested every time she turns around. She’s seeing things. The plot has a couple of choppy spots but you can get through ok because it still goes together fairly smooth. I loved how the author tied the characters together but life wasn’t perfect; there were still problems. Fun book that I recommend.

Between Darkness & Light is the third book in the War of Destiny series. This dark vampiric paranormal, fantasy story is unique and engaging. Theresa is great at storytelling and invites the reader in with cleverly woven threads. I said it before but I will say it again the characters are well written and have depth and meaning. Her world building is exceptionally crafted and cleverly built. The vivid narrative allows you to enjoy every facet of her storytelling. War of Destiny is a multi-layered and exciting series that I will be sad to see it go as I want more and more. Lots of action, intrigue, imagination and twist and turns will keep you glued to the pages.

Don’t miss out on this epic tale. Get ready to devour this series.

Again, amazing installment in the series! Seriously the series just keeps getting better and better. This author has had me hooked since the first book. I am too deep now, and I can not let go! I love how each one fascinates more as you read! A very amazing series I must say, impossible not to love and enjoy!

This one really appealed to me as it was the aftermath of the second book. We follow Julia and where she is at based on the decisions, she made in the second book. I felt for her at times, but she always amazes me in what she decides to do. She always comes out strong, even when she may appear at the lowest point. I devoured this one so easily. I loved the aftermath and the new adventure Julia had to undergo. There was never a dull moment, and the author really knows how to keep you hooked!

Amazing series that keeps on with hype it brings to the reader. Each book in the series catches my attention more and more! Love it so much! Highly recommend this must-read book! Truly!

This is yet another brilliant continuation of an already great story. It took nothing at all to fall back into the characters and these stories. This story is just as well written and interesting as the previous books. This author has really created such a fascinating world. I love how new it feels, even as the series progresses. Each book builds on the previous one and really adds a whole new level to the series. I would highly recommend this series to any fan of the genre!

I enjoyed this paranormal story. This is the third book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous books to help your enjoyment of this series. Julia is back in another fantasy, adventure full story. I enjoy her character and what she brings to the story. She is connectable, strong and supportive which makes it easy to read the story. She is now faced with repairing relationships and having to ask for help. This is where Matthew enters the story. They both are determined to find out why destiny is being altered and who is behind it. I enjoyed their chemistry which added to the story. This is an entertaining story that is hard to put down. I can’t wait to see what happens next. I highly recommend this book.

4.5 Stars

 

Between Darkness & Light is the third book in the War of Destiny series by Theresa Van Spankeren. Julia has been through so much- and things aren’t about to settle down any time soon. Events have left her shunned and lonely. Is she losing her mind as others fear. Julia begins to wonder herself. She is forced to seek help from a former close colleague, who’s turned hostile towards her. With danger closing in and sinister agendas at play, the stakes are high, as the story takes a dramatic turn….
This is a fantastic series; each book builds on what came before, and I am well and truly hooked. A clever and intriguing paranormal saga, with vampires, action, adventure, wonderful atmospheric world building, danger, politics, agendas, unexpected developments, emotion, high stakes, and plenty of tension.
If you love an original take on vampire lore, paranormal elements, high stakes, and agendas- then you will want to dive into this book/series asap.
Can’t wait to see what Book #4 has in store for us!
Happy reading!

Thank you, Theresa Van Spankeren!

Plagued by people only she could see and hear, Julia betrayed her ka-tet, those she called family to Valentino, King of the Vampires. They think she is of unsound mind and shun her.

As she tries to repair her relationships, she fears the apparitions’ return. Following her leader’s sudden disappearance, Julia is forced to seek help from estranged ka-tet member, Matthew. Their once-close bond has become unveiled hostility.

Matthew has been living apart from the others since Julia’s betrayal. He has crafted a new life for himself within the powerful Medici family of Florence. Julia’s arrival is neither expected nor welcome.

As enemies close in, Julia and Matthew realize that something much more sinister is at play. Destiny itself is being tampered with, and they must discover who or what is the cause before it destroys them.
