Synopsis
To love a Dark One is to invite death...
It is wrong to love her.
It is worse to want her.
It is sin to consume her.
I desire all three.
I've been given thirty days to prove my love to another immortal--as a human. Cursed to use nothing but the side of myself I've always despised to win her affection. I am Cassius, the King of the immortals, A Dark One.
And today I tasted fear for the first time.
How can I win her when my human emotions over take every ounce of logic I possess?
A darkness is brewing.
One I cannot stop as a human.
One that Stephanie, my loves visions, have shown, will be my end.
Thirty days ago I was King of the immortals.
Today I know fear.
Today I know how I will die.
By her hand.
The woman I love.
It is wrong to love her.
It is worse to want her.
It is sin to consume her.

Review
4.5 out of 5 stars
I am finding this paranormal series from Rachel Van Dyken to
be incredibly unique and interesting.
She always does such a wonderful job creating fascinating stories with
equal amounts of romance, humor and intrigue.
What I particularly like about this series is that she’s managed to mix
in a wide variety of paranormal...vampires, angels, warewolves, siren and even
demons into one captivating plotline.
Untouchable Darkness further explores when two Dark Ones,
beings not permitted to mate, find love in one another. It was interesting, it was romantic and at
time suspenseful. I especially enjoyed
the chapters told from Cassius’ perspective.
His past, his birth, his deepest desires reveals a man deeply in love
plagued with major responsibility often exhausted especially having to live it
alone for so many years. Seeing things
through his eyes allows us to delve deeper into the relationships of this
unconventional family, and what you find at the base is love.
This installment spends a lot of time exploring the fine
line between good and evil, the balance of light and darkness and when the
underlying plot development is revealed I have to admit it definitely made me
want to start book 3 ASAP. Yes, this one
ends on a happy for now moment, but I cannot wait to see what Rachel has in
story for Alex and Mason not to mention the war on evil. These paranormal escapes are quickly becoming
a favorite addiction of mine.
