Relation Conducive To Books Darkness Falls (Ravenwood Mysteries #2)
April Dunne is having a rough time. There are vampires in her school. Not Goths, or Emos in fancy dress. Dangerous, blood-sucking semi-immortals. They run the school. They pretend to be students at it. And they're using their influence to recruit smart, rich students - aka 'bleeders' - to their own cause. What is that cause? April isn't sure. But she knows they killed a rock star for it, and innocents who got too close to the truth. One of them almost killed her. But that's nothing to what's coming next. Gabriel, her kinda-boyfriend, is dying and unless April can find a cure then not only is she going to be boyfriendless, she's also going to lose one of her major allies in the school. And she really needs allies. Because it turns out April has an ability of her own, one that could prove lethal to the 'Suckers' who've taken over the school. If any of them figure out what she is, then losing her boyfriend will be the least of her problems ...Specify Books In Pursuance Of Darkness Falls (Ravenwood Mysteries #2)

This review was originally posted on Fluttering ButterfliesI was very excited to hear of Darkness Falls by Mia James, the sequel to By Midnight. By Midnight was the first book I finished this year, and I loved the combination of mystery, romance and creep factor involved in the story about an infestation of vampires in this fancy school near Highgate Cemetery. It was thrilling and exciting and I thought it would be a hard book to follow. I'm thrilled to say that if anything, I enjoyed DarknessEarlier this year, when I read By Midnight I was really pleasantly surprised with how much I liked it. I'd been really looking forward to the sequel and snapped it up as soon as it came out.Sadly, it was really disappointing.The atmospheric quality that made By Midnight intriguing seemed to be completely absent. April was no longer fun and independent. Rather, she was selfish and over-dramatic and kinda dumb. Sure, there's a certain amount of character behaviour that you can let go due to grief
I went into this book with high hopes, after By Midnight, I'd been so anxious for Darkness Falls.Now don't get me wrong, it was great, the thing I didn't like was the on-off-on-off-never was on-definitely on relationship between April and Gabe, it did get tiring after a while, and there was a lot of times when April was either too naive or too trusting around Gabe.But, even as I say that, I love him, and I can't wait to find out his history and what he's hiding, *because we all know that he is*
This was okay, but I had to drag myself through it, even though it was nice to get a few answers at last. The thing I really didn't like about this is April's relationship with Gabriel. It worries me: they don't trust each other, they can't work together effectively, but OH!! They just love each other so much! Is this the sort of relationship that the younger generation should be reading about so often? They aren't healthy.
'Darkness Falls' is the second book in the Ravenwood Mysteries series by Mia James (the pseudonym for husband and wife writing duo Tasmina and John Perry). The story picks up from where 'By Midnight' left off. April is learning to cope after her father's death and after the shocking discovery that she is a Fury - the one thing that vampires truly fear. Having introduced all the characters and established the storyline, it was nice to see a bit more action in this installment as April faces the
I really liked this book.I kinda got annoyed with April, she didnt seem to know what she wanted. One minute she would really love Gabe, then another she would be staring at Ben. Wanting to bring down the Regent and help the students at Ravenwood, then another not caring about them and only wants to find her fathers killer.She, for one should know things are not what they seem. But she always seems to jump to conclusions and be very hot-headed about things.I love Gabe, I admit he could do with a
What a complete let down! I want to give this book a better rating, but how can I? April, the teenage Heroine is a complete idiotic, insufferable, spoiled twit. I don't know what's worse. Her words or her thoughts. What I mean by this is, someone will tell her something vital and yet she still acts like she doesn't have a clue. It's so distracting. Plus, I think my biggest problem right now is she's not really making any progress with who she is. Okay, so she discovered something about herself
