Brenda Stanley has come up with an interesting concept for “Only in Darkness”. There is a lot of backstory which has the book jumping back and forth, but as it progresses, there is a lot of character building and an engaging plot. What really sets this book apart are the twists and turns that take the reader on the ultimate wild ride until the very end when everything comes crashing down with a fantastic twist. For fans of paranormal, suspense, and a good thriller, this read has all of the above and with descriptions that are in depth. The characters are dynamic and there is a lot of fun dialogue. This should also come with a warning label that once opened, one will not be able to put it down! Don’t let this great book pass your TBR pile – add it now!
