Book Review: Lily: The Dark World by SC James (The Dark World Series Book 1)

 


    Following the death of her mother Lily is determined to get answers. No matter what. While she is the one being tracked down and some key being demanded of her the Light World Council considers her the troublemaker and wants to see her away from the public. So, her father has done just that. Only, not in the way the corrupt council would like. Instead of entrusting her to their care she is sent to Kensington Boarding School. Can Lily gain the answers behind her mother's death? 

    I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. This book starts out like a lot of other YA fantasy books. Young girl has powers. Lost a parent. A big bad is tracking her down. Certain powers of authority are corrupt and you don't know who to trust. Very likely the foretold one. Then things get very unique and keep you guessing until the last page. 

    While this book jumps perspectives throughout the main character is very obviously Lily. Not only because her name is in the title. She is a born vampire that can control shadows and has another secret secondary ability which makes her even more unique. 

    Although Lily is unique and loved by most of those around her she isn't a spoiled brat. She has no problem fighting her own battles and taking care of others when they are injured. That being said she isn't without fault either. I really liked Daemon in this book.. He's like an over-protective older brother who sometimes loses his mind. 

    I can't say that I expected the ending, but that is a good thing. No complaints about the unexpected. Curious to see what will happen next. 

    This book is available on Kindle Unlimited or buy it on Amazon for $6.03 by clicking here
