Creatures of evil roam the shadows – the Drakhyn. They may look like humans, but their taloned hands and razor-sharp teeth serve one purpose only; killing.A Sentinel’s purpose is to patrol and protect. They are highly trained soldiers with superior skills and abilities. Whether they be Vampyres, Lycan, Castors or gifted Akrhyn, their purpose is the same; hunt the Drakhyn and rid the world of … Drakhyn and rid the world of their evil presence.
Tegan has been training all of her life in seclusion to be an Elite Sentinel. Having now passed her final Trial, she is selected by the Great Council to become a member of the Elite Guard. Tegan is the youngest Sentinel to be granted such an honour and she accepts, nervous and anxious to finally be with her family. A family who never even knew she existed… until now.
Soon, fitting in with her family are the least of her worries. The Drakhyn are rising, even as unrest between the Akrhyn grows. What’s more, Tegan finds herself bonded to the most arrogant Castor she has ever met.
War is coming.
Tegan needs to be ready. She must fight to keep her world – and her place in it – free from the destruction that threatens it.

Wow what a great first book to the start of a new series. I am so glad that I decided to read this book, I loved the book so much that once I started I finished it in mere hours and now I’m so excited to read the next book! Can’t seem to find any news for the next one but I did subscribe and am looking forward to receiving the email of the next book. Don’t skip reading, this book is great!!
This was a great first book in this new series and by the time I got to the end I was chomping at the bit to get the next one. You get a bit of a slow burn between Cord and Tegan (and good luck not just loving Tegan to bits!), a wonderful world of magical fantasy world with great characters who have great depth and intrigue you and a story that draws you in. I can not wait for the next one!!!!
This book was unique, fascinating and interesting. I was in complete admiration of this fully created world. Tegan is really one in a kind with wonderful character and impossibly large variation of skills. She is badass yet innocent. Other characters was very well defined as well. It was fun watching theirs interactions and creation of relationships. I smiled and smirked very often reading dialogues. Plot is great, all the twists and turns made me forget what time of night it was, I kept reading. Everything was perfect. It’s fantastic book which captivated me from the very first words. Great jump into fantasy type of stories for this author, I really need next installment soon if not I might come out of my skin due to the unexpected ending. Honestly Eve L Mitchell just excel in everything she writes. I would give it mire than 5 stars if only it would be possible.
I really enjoyed this first book of The Akrhyn Series. I couldn’t put it down. Strong characters and a great storyline. I can’t wait for the next one!
Mitchell’s ability to build fantastical worlds with so much detail, and beauty is unparalleled in originality.
The strength of the heroine, Tegan, along with her sweet naiveté is the perfect blend of yin and yang. Tegan has been forged into a strong young woman who knows her mind, worth, and ability. She knows as she steps into her new home that she will be tested beyond her imagination.
Sloane, Michael, and Salem (her kin) are three fierce males who do not know what do with this new female in their midst. Watching everyone learn to navigate this new normal is fun to watch.
Cord is the very definition of opposite to Tegan in so many ways, and yet the perfect fit. She brings a lightness out of him few rarely see and a protective instinct that goes against all he knows.
This world is glorious and perfectly balanced in description, fantasy, and the hint of reality we have come to know from Mitchell’s writing. This series flies under the radar and needs to be pushed into the light.
Into Darkness is a fascinating and addictive urban fantasy book by Eve L. Mitchell. The author has created a world filled with magic and intrigue. Along with relatable, enjoyable and uniquely identifiable characters to read. There were elements of humour, which I found myself smirking at more than once.
And let’s not forgot Tegan – she’s one badass female lead with an underlying innocence, but a strength that’s unmatched. She’s an absolute amazing character to read.
The twists and turns throughout the story are unexpected and perfect. Every aspect of this story drew me in and I was captivated from the beginning right till the end. What an ending!!! I was shocked at every line I read and screaming internally. Anything I previously thought was shattered. This story absolutely blew my mind and I couldn’t have predicted what was coming.
I very rarely am so greedy that I “need” the next book, but in the case I NEED the next book!! I really can’t wait to read what adventures are in store for these characters, and see what Eve L. Mitchell has up her sleeve. I’m sure that anything I think is coming in the story, will again be thrown right out the window.
