Between Twilight (Skye Druids #9)

Donna Grant

Blurb:

She came to destroy me. Now I’ll burn the world to keep her.

She gets beneath my skin. Haunts my thoughts.

Strips away my control.

And I keep going back for more.

Every glance pulls me deeper. Every touch weakens my grip. And when she looks at me with those silver eyes full of secrets and fury, I know I’m already lost.

Something dark is closing in around us.

Power is shifting. Truths are unraveling. And the woman I can’t stay away from may be the key to it all.

I should walk away before she ruins me. Before this obsession consumes us. But when she’s in my arms, nothing else matters.

Not the lies.

Not the danger.

Not even what’s coming.

Because once I claim something as mine, I never let it go.

And I’m beginning to realize she was always meant to be mine.

Review:

As this series moves forward it continues to get increasingly more complicated but my understanding is that the next story will be the conclusion and we will see an end to this epic battle and danger. Donna Grant’s Skye Druids series began originally as a spinoff of the Reaper and the Dragon Kings series but it truly became it’s very own magic. The Skye Druids have their own dangerous history, enemies, and battles to fight, but together if they can find out who to truly trust as they become a team they can succeed finally. This latest story was one of the longest in the series and the plot was so filled with twists and flips that you could find yourself lost if you weren’t paying attention every second. Finn, one of the Knights, finally gets his story as he meets a woman that rocks his world but sparks all his red flag warnings from the very beginning. Vaila has been obsessed with Finn for decades, following around the world and determined to make him pay for a murder that changed the trajectory of her entire life and cost her entire family. She is finally ready to strike now that he has settled with all of his friends on the Isle of Skye, getting close to him and befriending him so that when she gets her revenge it will hurt him all the more. Finn knows there is something fishy about Vaila but he is so drawn to her and the more time he spends with her the more he wants her. Soon Vaila begins to question everything she knows about Finn and she has to truly confront their shared past and decide who she can trust and how she will move forward in her life. But when an even more dangerous enemy stands against both Finn and Vaila, they will have to come together along with all the other Knights and their team in order to stay alive. Finn and Vaila are falling deeper into their feelings and find that their chemistry and connection is becoming so much more than either of them ever thought I could be. Finn is the one male that thought he has no chance at finding a mate, knowing that his death was right around the corner but when he meets Vaila he begins to wonder if he might have something more to live for. I loved his cunning, strength, sweetness, and bravery, especially when he was faced with Vaila’s pain and had to help her face her true past. Vaila has spent the past two decades being led by an enemy in the guise of a savior and she never thought of questioning it, but when she finally opened her eyes it was painful to watch her come to terms with all the mistakes she’d made. I didn’t like Vaila much until about 75% through the book when she finally grew up and learned to start questioning for herself instead of just allowing others to lead her by the nose. In the end they found a way to win the battle once again, coming together and kicking some serious backside, but I imagine that if Vaila had opened her mind sooner that battle could have gone much more easily and happened so much sooner. I am looking forward to the finale story and seeing everything finally come to an ending and of course seeing who finds love in that story. Donna Grant don’t fail us now and give us all the ending we’ve been looking forward to since the beginning.
