4 star #Review ~ The Darkest Day Series 1 & 2 by K.N. Lee

I can’t get enough of K.N. Lee’s stories, she is an amazing writer and has a TON of books. I honestly can’t keep up with her but I can’t stop reading all the books she puts out. This series is fantastic and I can’t wait for book #3

Waking the Dark is the first books in K.N. Lee’s Darkest Day series. I loved the characters in this books and developed some serious trust issues between the two stories.

This book is told in multi-POV and it does bounce around a bit. I felt like this book was a build up for the next book. You get to meet the MC and a few of the other characters, you get a sense of the world that you like in. While I felt it lacked a lot of detail I still loved the characters and the world. You meet quite a few characters and some have more of a story than others. I look forward to seeing how these characters develop throughout the series. The big bad in this book is called the Dark, while I don’t understand completely what it is in the first book, you get a better idea in the next. This book wasn’t very long and I would have loved to spend more time in the world. It does end at 91%

I enjoyed this book, even with my issues I still gave this 4 stars because I really do love her stories.

This is the book is the one that gave me serious trust issues but I am completely in love with Kem and hope that Ava and him have some love. 😀 I am glad I read both of these books in one sitting because it really allows you to get more details in the story that I thought was lacking in the first. While the world build still isn’t detailed you get a better feel for the characters and you get a little more explanation of what the dark is. I did find Ava to be a little too trusting and not questioning things I was finding that needed to be questioned. I think this is where the trust issues are coming from. I am hoping Ava grows more in the next book. I did like reading about her sister and look forward to more of her in the next book. Not really a cliffhanger but you are left with many questions at the end.

I did enjoy this book also and overall, recommend this series. I am hoping book 3 will be out soon because I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my review.

Have a great day and Happy Reading!
