Pure Darkness by Aja James
3.0
adventurous challenging dark medium-paced

 This is going to be a short and quickie review. I won't be going in depth in this story, there are plenty of other wonderful reviews on this book that do a full depth review that I can't even begin to compete with. If you want those I recommend Princess Under the Covers, Natalie-The Biblioholic, and Starr Rivers. I just want to share my thoughts on this real fast. haha

So first, this is a very short read. You can breeze through this one very quickly. I will be honest I have had a hard time wanting to finish this series (even though I really really WANT her dragon books haha) is that I don't have much investment in these books whether its "The Creature" or Sophia books. Not that they are bad characters to have books in but both of them have a ton of books in the later half of the series that I have to push through haha Now this book is quite interesting. Its not a romance, so don't go into this one expecting one. Its more about the beginning of the Creature's journey to redemption and connecting with his family. I really enjoyed many of these scenes. I still am not invested fully, I do want to get this series completed though so I can get to the books I really want to read haha I understand why so many love these books though and I get it. I am just not strictly invested in some of these characters and more intrigued by the overall plot building for these installments.

Overall, I had a fun time with this one here and had some important elements to the story that contributed to the overall serial plot. I adore little Benjamin though. He has always been my favorite side character in the series. He just delivers charm and leaves you with a smile on your face. Highly recommend you picking this series up if you haven't picked them up yet.
