Kissing Darkness by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Isra the witch is back and has embraced the darkness within her heart, she has accessed powers she never dreamed of and now she wants more, but she is still young and naïve and has plenty of time to make all the discoveries she wants to, but there are others who want to stop her before she has even begun. Meanwhile, Astrid is still keeping an eye on Isra but even though she doesn’t know he exists, he is falling deeper and harder for her everyday and so has gone on a rebellious quest to make a request of an old friend and the demoness Rhiannon to enable him to be closer to Isra in everyway and in a human body, so he accepts the deal offered and goes to see Isra for real and carry out his own plan for her at the same time.
Astrid has been defying the orders of Samuel the light bringer, but when he comes bearing tidings of Isra and what has occurred with regards to her and the darkness within her, Samuel decides that it is time to take matters into his own hands and decides to have a conversation with Isra. This is where he neutralises her dark powers and brings her to his home for hot coffee and polite, if intimate conversation about her past and her future, he also offers advice and insight and offers Isra the chance for salvation instead of damnation, however, Isra politely declines and so he returns her to her wanderings and thinks about what he can do next. When Samuel returns from this conversation he talks to Astrid and sounds out his thoughts on the whole Isra situation and decides to bring in another person to help, James and after he believes Astrid had left, he calls on this other person, to discuss his need for them to carry out a task. Astrid overhears the conversation between them where they are discussing plans to try and keep Isra in the light and how they plan to make it known that there is an abandoned fortress currently awaiting a new tenant and that James will be the one to show Isra around and befriend her.
At the same time, in a dilapidated hovel, Everilda is about to discover a shocking truth that will send her on a darker path she never expected after the demoness Rhiannon pays her a visit and reveals secrets which will send her on another collision course with Isra, which the witch has no idea about. As this complex and mysterious tapestry is woven, with Isra at the centre, will she continue on the path of darkness where Astrid is leading her, or will Samuel and James be able to turn her back to the light in this fantasy land of magic and sorcery?
