A vampire desperate for a brighter future. A wolf shifter eager to forget the past.A killer closing in.Still reeling from the events of December 31st, wolf shifter Emma Kingsley stumbles into the new year knowing that nothing will ever be the same. Her sanctuary–her territory–is falling to pieces around her. Danger in the forest. Danger in the village. Danger at her door.This time of year, … door.
This time of year, wolf’s in season…
The cruel promises of two rogue vampires cling to her like a second skin, but so does the possibility for something more with the vampire who saved her life. Despite her growing feelings, she knows in her heart that Calder is a part of this madness.
And when the truth comes to light, will she ever be able to trust him again?
Forced to unite for the sake of their beloved boarding school, two former enemies are torn between doing what is necessary…
And following their hearts.
The fresh start that vampire Calder so desperately craved is shot straight to Hell when the past comes back to bite him. Had circumstances been different, he would have fallen back on old habits–and run.
But now that Emma is involved, he knows the game has changed. A price must be paid, and if it keeps her alive, Calder Holloway will pay it a thousand times over.
Even if that means forgetting his feelings for the beautiful shifter. Every. Last. One.
Because those messy, messy feelings are what got him into trouble in the first place.
In the dark days of winter, an ancient evil emerges from the shadows. Blood will be spilled. Lines will be drawn. Lives will be lost.
Only one thing is certain: no one is safe.
Not even creatures of the night.
Dark Days is a standalone enemies-to-lovers paranormal romance duet. While Book 1 has a cliffhanger, all will be resolved with a supernatural happily-ever-after in Book 2.

The pulse-pounding conclusion to Emma and Calder’s story will have you on the edge of your seat! There is a ton of angst, but also the deepening of Emma and Calder’s feelings for one another. I loved seeing new sides to them, and how they interacted with one another. We got to see Emma’s wolf, and she was magnificent!! All the backstory on Calder I wanted was in this book, too.
At a couple points when everything seemed great, I knew there was more drama coming. I had to keep reminding myself that it would end well!
I WANT MORE of Calder and Emma. Please please please write that novella, Liz! There doesn’t even have to be any drama (in fact I would prefer it that way). I’d love to just see them traveling around together, enjoying one another with no danger lurking. Although if you were to write another full book about them, I wouldn’t be opposed to that, either!! I just love this couple so much; they’re perfect for one another.
Emma Kingsley is a wolf shifter and Calder Holloway a vampire. Two well developed interesting characters who should be enemies but become so much more. This is a fascinating, well written story with strong characters and a great HEA!
Picks up right where book one left off. I just finished reading this and not even sure what to say about it. I thought I had it all figured out where this was all going, but nope! The author was like not today! Well written and entertaining.

There is just so much I want to say about this book but can’t because I don’t want to give anything away!!!
Dark Days: Semester 2 by Liz Meldon is just amazing. The first book was the setup and this second book in the duet is the be all to end all!! Holy smokes, from start to finish there is non-stop action, drama, peace, love and soooo much more than repeat!!!
When you read the caption of the story, how could you go wrong!! If you like paranormal, you are going to love this duet. You need to read book one to completely get the whole feel of feels for this installment.
A vampire named Calder who just wants some peace in his life. A wolf shifter named Emma who is looking to explore all the world has to offer away from her pack. Put them together and sparks will fly! Limits are tested, blood will be shed and the plot twist of all plot twists will blow your mind.
One thing I love about this duet is the character growth from the first book to this book. Ms. Meldon has done a remarkable job at giving us that slow build that just pulls this story together for me. To see them grow as individuals and together is remarkable. The secondary characters and the little details here and there that stand out are just brilliant.
Not to mention the steamy romantic parts. When those happen, you’ll be wanting to fan your face that just turned red. Then you’ll want to swoon. Powerful words are written that give you all the feels.
Holy mother of monsters I CAN’T!!
With danger surrounding them from everywhere, Calder and Emma are in more danger than ever. The past is hurling back to ruin everything they’ve ever known. Can two sworn enemies unite together to defeat evil? Or is their world fated to be doomed?
This was probably one of THE MOST EPIC conclusions to any story. I was legit on the edge of my seat for the entire story and I don’t think I was even breathing throughout it.
Calder and Emma and actually genuinely 100% made for each other. Their chemistry is what made this story a knockout. I love those two separately and together. TOO MUCH!
I kinda want to scream about this book everywhere and actually shake people to read it. Everything about this story was unique, thrilling and downright exciting. I keep wanting more and more because Liz Meldon is THAT good.
To be the Alpha shifter is an amazing thing, to be Alpha to a pack of dogs is another, but to have them ripped away is heartbreaking. To be hunted is another.
Emma Kingsley came to SIA to teach, to have a new beginning, to do what she does best. But all that is threatened when the hunter becomes the prey, by the most Vial type of being a modern day Vampire pirate.
Calder Holloway is out to make penance for his past, to protect the one he has fallen in love with, knowing she may never love him back when she learns the truth. He is willing to risk it all for her, to make up for his wrong doings and hopefully find his saving grace again.
When people go missing especially shifters, Calder and Emma are in for the fight of their life to bring down those who are responsible, to bring light to what has been hidden for a long time and to end it once and for all.
Dark Days Semester 2 by Liz Meldon is not only a paranormal romance but also about making up for your past and finding the grace and peace you have been searching for in the chaos of the day. A very well written book with wonderful characters that are fighting for not only their lives but the lives of others.
