Stop and do not go any further if you haven’t read Remy’s Fated in the Stars trilogy, because you can’t even start Darkness Echoes without reading that series. What happens in this duology is entirely informed by that trilogy and you will be lost from page one (and spoiled for the trilogy, to boot). 

So, now for those who have read and finished the Fated in the Stars trilogy.

Darkness Echoes picks up about three or so months after the events of Tides of Fate. Life has settled down for the Rhodes Pack…for the most part. One pack member has been kind of absent and a bit secretive, two other pack members have been kind of competitive and a little combative, another pack member has been sad, and another pack member is…disgruntled with everyone. 

After the events at the end of Tides of Fate, it was evident that Gideon’s dad, Patrick Carnell, was up to a whole lot of no good–but what kind of no good? What exactly is he after, or who? 

I’ll tell you one thing: Remy had to listen to me whine about how icky Carnell is several times while I was editing this book. I don’t even know how many times I complained about his sheer ickiness. He’s a creep. Blech. He’s as slippery and slimy as the oil he probably uses to suntan with. SO GROSS. 

The Rhodes Pack leaves Nashville for Florida when it becomes clear that whatever dark deeds Carnell is getting up to is being done in or near Jay and Nix’s hometown of Clearwater. This decision sets off a rapid-fire series of events that keeps this whole pack running and dodging one danger after another, all while trying to keep each other safe and their bonds shining bright with love and care. There are a lot of new discoveries and explosive events before this half of the duology winds down to a rather natural break in the story (thank you, Remy). 

If the Fated in the Stars trilogy was about connection, love, and family, then Echoes of Eternity is about what happens after, when your love is tested in the harshest of ways. 5⭐️
