Alexandra Ivy - Darkness Everlasting

Being the new Anasso means dealing with weres who trespass territory. So when the wereclan rules by Salvatore is hunting in Chicago, Styx wants to know why. He finds out they are after a human Darcy. To keep control until the Commission arrives he decides to take the woman prisoner.

Only when he has her in his control, he can't seem to control himself anymore. Drawn to Darcy is a way he has never experienced before he loses the cool that was so part of his being. Being the Anosso is now of secondary meaning. All he wants to do is protect and claim Darcy as his own. Rules and consequences be damned. Luckily there is still Viper to point out his obligations! But even then Styx unleashes all his powers when Darcy is taken from him. Claimed by Salvatore or not, this woman is his and his alone.

This is part 3 of Guardians of eternity. And I am a fan! Alexandra Ivy has created a world that is wonderful and even as original as possible these days...

Styx is the one who killed, or aided Viper killing the previous anasso. With Viper's support he claims the leadership of all the vampires. He's cool, arrogant and tremendously powerful. With his Ravens to protect him and Viper as his loyal supporter he is nearly invincible. Only when he meets Darcy he loses his cool demeanor, his ability for logical reasoning... But the power that is created by his heart makes him unstoppable.

Darcy is an orphan. Tossed out foster homes because of her ability to heal fast, she knows there is something about her... So instead of being petrified to face Styx, she is relieved to find someone who is able to explain her oddity. Who will take her just the way she is. Curious about why Salvatore is after her and used to being on her own she has a hard time giving Styx the control he wants.

Darkness Everlasting is a book that will keep you turning the pages, one after the other until you finish the book... Ivy's writing talent makes you able to forget everything and be drawn into a world with vampires, gargoyles and werewolf... The hero and heroine are worked out very well, and the secondary characters makes you laugh out loud (Levet) or curious for more (Santiago, DiAngelo)
Even the bad guy in this book draw my attention. Salvatore is a were you can't resist to like... Even if he's the enemy of Styx. Thank god, Alexandra Ivy is writing his book as we speak ;)

If you like vampires and paranormal book, get this writer on you wish list and I guarantee you, you won't be disappointed!
