Visions of Darkness (Darkness, #1)
A.L. Jackson
Destined to be together, forbidden to love, two lost souls fight evil in an everyday world that belongs to the night. A dark romantasy by a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. Aria Rialta is a girl of two realities. One she was born to. The other she was chosen for. Both are a threat. Every night when Aria falls asleep, she enters the nightmare world of Faydor to fight a war. It’s her calling to help destroy the Kruen, who feed sin and chaos to our everyday world of vulnerable humans. It would be a lonely realm in which to do battle if not for Pax, Aria’s dangerously irresistible soulmate whose mere touch can kill. It’s also a realm that’s getting harder to escape. Aria’s hallucinations are seeping into her waking world. And the Kruen are coming for her. To help Aria, Pax must do what no one in Faydor has dared to do before—join his soulmate in the light of day. Giving in to their forbidden attraction could be the death of them, but they might not be able to stop themselves as they embark on a cross-country journey to fight the evils hunting them. As their desire grows, so do Aria’s untapped powers, and a menacing new force far darker than the Kruen.

The plot has potential, let’s start with that. I could see where we were going, but certain things just sit right with me. It’s like I was expecting more and then got less. You have to read the book to believe what I’m saying.
So we meet Aria who sleepwalker but it’s not a sleepwalker and she fights darkness in a realm not meant for human; this darkness is what influences humans to be evil. She has the scars to prove it, and no one believes her, including her family. A step too far, and she finds herself back in a mental institution.
And then we meet Pax who is a nol to Aria. He is her protector, and they fight together to vanquish the darkness. This man really wants to protect her in the sense that he is willing to travel and break all the rules just to be with her.
I was very excited to read the book, but the FMC is childish. She was irritating and for someone who is the chosen one she really didn’t get it. At some point, I hoped the MMC would leave her behind and just let her die. This man is trying to save your life and you still keep looking backward. I understand that she’d love for whatever she love for, but it was too much. I almost DNFd alas we kept at it There are plot holes that I want answers for and didn’t get.
The book has a cliffhanger wow.
Book 2 probably answer the questions that we have, but I will not be reading book 2.
