When evil demons need something, blood is thicker than water.
I thought getting Xavier back was the solution to all of our problems, but it turns out that the demon from Hell, Rafael, has other plans. Oh yeah, and Rafael? He’s claiming to be my father. Which explains some things—like how he’s able to torment me in my dreams.
When a visit to my real dad leaves me with more questions than … questions than answers, I find myself reeling because I can’t tell what’s true anymore. I’m hanging on by my fingernails. Without Carrick, Mikhail, Devin and Xavier—my rocks—I might just lose it. They’re the only sure things in my life right now. Maybe with them, I have a chance to get out of this alive.
I still don’t know what Rafael wants the damn stone for. My mom is the one who stole it from him in the first place and it cost her everything. If I don’t get it back to him, I risk the same fate.
FML.

Well…this was an interesting turn of events. I think by far this was the best written out of all 3. I am interested in reading about Olivia. She’s definitely an interesting character if not a little grumpy haha. Time to meet dear old Dad and tell him the truth! Oooh that was fun and honestly not that bad and I’m pretty sure they all breathed in a silent relief. Its hilarious that she got sooo fed up with everything that she took charge and went off on her own to get answers. Although she should have gotten a spanking for her trouble. I thought it was really sweet at the end when she finally found out about her Mom and no I am not giving it away because if I do then I’d be spoiling it for someone else. I recommend the series although a little rough in parts.
THIS IS BOOK 3 OF THE ACADEMY OF THE UNDERWORLD SERIES. I LOVE THIS SERIES AND BOOK 3 DID NOT DISAPPOINT. I LOVE RAVEN AND THE REST OF THE CHARACTERS. THEY ARE WELL DEVELOPED AND WRITTEN.

Ruling Darkness is book three and a great conclusion to the Academy of the Underworld series. This is a fast paced read filled with action, drama, danger, mystery, suspense and twists the kept me reading. A vampire, a demon, a reaper and a siren are some of the intriguing characters that make this a page turner. I look forward to reading the next great Laney Powell book.
Ruling Darkness by Laney Powell is a wonderful story to read. This is book number three in this wonderful series writen by a brand new author for me to read and can not wait to read more from this author. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about paranormal romance.

Gosh I love this series! This is the 3rd book in the series and has not lost its momentum. Raven and her men (Xavier, Carrick, Mikhail & Devin) are chasing down the bad guy (Rafael) who may be her father (what?), trying to stay safe and dealing with new obstacles along the way. This series has kept my attention and left me wondering what will happen next. From trying to figure out what happened to her mom to meeting long lost grandparents who give you the heebie jeebies – good grief this fast paced story was full of CRAZY! After this amazing ride, I am really looking forward to seeing what else Laney comes up with in the future!

First let me state that I received an Advance Reader Copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review.
Holy shiznet!!! What a gr8 way to end a series. Everyone got thier HEA. Raven had some troubles, but she got through them with the help of her men. I am looking forward to Olivia’s story. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up
Our heroine is pulled in multiple directions, trying to protect the ones she loves and escape the clutches of the bad guy. But what if she can only accomplish one of these?
This is book three (and the conclusion) of this paranormal academy series. While this story is mostly self-contained, you would be missing out on all the background, so I recommend starting at the beginning.
The story is well written and easy to read, while the plot produces several twists and unexpected circumstances which keep things interesting. The characters are also well developed and likable. This book brings many of the threads together as it races to the conclusion. Overall, an excellent ending to this fun and exciting series.
Highly recommended.

Great ending to this reverse harem trilogy. There’s more mystery and suspense but with the sexiness we expect from Raven and her guys. They’re on a race against time and I had moment when I held my breath, just waiting to see what would happen.

ONE EXTREMELY ENTICING RIDE!!!
Holy hell! Laney nails the bullseye, busting through kicking ass and taking names, laying it out with such perfection, fervor, immense talent and a unique insight for detail, welding this gem together sleek, shiny and tight. One non-stop, action packed, hard hitting, pulse racing, heart pounding, page flipping bombshell, blasting this jewel to life spectacularly. A tumultuous wild ride full of fevrent events and surprising circumstances, blow this little fella wide open. Anarchy, escapades and havoc run amuck, kicking this gem into a tempest, bursting it into a frenzy with a mind-blowing culmination. Satisfaction rocks this jewel, bringing it home with such intensity and precision, riding roughshod and delivering one block busting delight. Add drama, misgivings, intrigue, turmoil, danger, mounting suspense and precarious situations, along with a boatload of sinister intentions while dodging calamity, you have one compelling masterpiece. The dynamics and countenance in layer upon layer that you peel back with each page your drawn into this web so deep until everything else ceases to exist. Cognizant of the instant awareness and charged atmosphere, along with a slew of unexpected twists and wicked turns, testing our characters in ways they could have never envisioned. The characters are complex and authentic with depth and traits that blend and flow smoothly transforming into genuinely relatable personalities. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and descriptions creating a colorful backdrop that makes the storyline pop. Remarkable job Laney, thanks for sharing this little treasure with us.
Raven is a siren who was sent to Darklight Academy, also known as the Academy of the Underworld, where the “bad” supernaturals go to learn how to control their power and magic. She had been taken to Hell by a demon named Rafael. He later grabbed Xavier, so Raven, Mikhail, Devin, and Carrick went after him, bringing him back along with more information: Rafael wants a stone called the Ocean’s Light that gives the bearer lots of power; and Rafael, whose real name is Marbys, claims he is Raven’s father. Despite her research, she can’t find out where the stone may be, and her life is at stake if she can’t get it for the jerk.
The story moves at a fast pace as questions are answered and things are explained. Her men stay by her, protecting her, as she tries to figure out where this stone might be. Will they all survive? Will they be able to stop Rafael or will he get what he wants?
This was a good story with wonderful characters and plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader happy. Grab your copy and find out how all the loose ends are resolved.
A heart stopping ending for Raven and her four men. The mystery, drama and action continues as Raven moves forward to investigate the mystery that surrounds her heritage which only leads to more unanswered questions. I loved the continuous mystery that surrounds this storyline with all the great characters that only add fuel to an already entertaining read. If your invested in this series like I am, than you don’t want to stop now! Can wait to read the next part of this enjoyable series that doesn’t disappoint.
Raven is looking forward to when finals are over so she can go home. She plans on taking her men with her to her father and tell him the truth about everything. Raven is happy over the way things went and promises to tell her father anything she learns. Raven and her men finally admit their true feelings for each other. Raven’s time home is over before she is ready.
When she gets back to school, Madame informs her her mother’s parents are there. Things do not go as planned. They leave Raven extremely angry, which is already is over the Rafael situation. Raven goes back to the beach and talks to her mom. Things happen she wasn’t expecting.
Things really turn up on Raven, there will be a lot that happen and things that will be explained. The story moves at a fast pace the author closes Raven’s story nicely, there are some twist and turns as the story closes out. I am hoping to see more of these characters in the future. I found this series to very enjoyable and am sorry to see it end so soon.

Laney did exceptional job with this book as well as this whole series! Raven is back again with her 4 men and boy do they have a lot going on in this book! A lot of questions have been answered but Ms. Laney has left me wanting more with that whopper of an ending! I can’t wait to see what she does with Olivia’s book.
I think Ms. Laney did a wonderful job with her first try at a PN and I can’t wait to see her grow with the next series. I HIGHLY recommend this book, series and author wholeheartedly!

This book was good, however I felt the ending was kind of rushed. It was a good series just fell asleep little flat in the final book.
