3rd book of the series of the 3 sisters who unfortunately through the love for their mother gave up their humanity…without knowing it. But in the end everything turned out so well for all 3 sisters. What a wonderful trip Victoria took us on with all 3 books! Loved every minute of them.
Leana’s story was the last book of this trilogy and I was happy with it!! She was a great character and was a blood drinker. Kendrick was also a great character who came through for her in the end. Surprises and lots of action with some sexy time and a great storyline that seemed to come to an ending that was great! Secondary characters included her sisters and their husbands. Interesting fae type story that was a fun read. I enjoyed each story! Loved it!!
I have to say this is a highly entertaining book that you will not be able to put down till the very end. Your moved from one location to the next without pause and kept on the edge of your seat as your drawn into this world with a wicked queen to defeat!!
When Leana went to Queen Snowdrop, she was trying to save her mother. The consequences (magic always comes with a price) were brutal for the Keith sisters. In the last story of the Daughter of Highland Darkness Trilogy, Leana first tries to disguise herself as a mortal woman to hide from Snowdrop and the Dark Fae. She meets and falls in love with Kendrick Fletcher, a widower, and his children. When he learns of her true nature, he rejects her. His rejection sends her back to the Unseelie queen determined to sacrifice herself to save the ones she loves.
Leana’s story is intensely emotional – for her, for Kendrick, and for their families. The story is a page-turner start to finish, packed with adventure, suspense, danger, and mystery. A determined group of characters, her family and Kendrick – who has a secret of his own – will do everything in their power(s) to save Leana. Will the plan work? Can they save Leana, defeat the evil queen, and finally bring the sisters out of the darkness?
In Daughters of Highland Darkness Victoria Zak has created a Highland romance wrapped around a quite original paranormal element. Wicked Darkness is a fantastic conclusion to the series and has some surprises you absolutely won’t see coming. A great series and a great read!
A great read
This is the final book in the series and the one book I have been waiting for . I really wanted to read Leana’s story. Leana has been running for so long . She has guilt that she thinks she has destroyed her sisters lives with what has happened and the death of her mother. Until the day she finds a way to hide from the magic around her and keep her hidden from Queen Snowdrop. She hides out as a human woman. Everything was going well until the day Kendrick walked into the pub where Leana was working . He stirs up feeling in her that can not be denied . But when he brings her home to be housemaid to his children . Desires are ignited and passion fires are lit . Will their love help Leana and Kendrick and save the people they both love . Or will the denial hurt them all
This is such a great way to end the series , the characters are so carefully crafted and so well written . Leana is such a complex woman . She is carrying so much guilt at the start of the book . She is also very desperate and wanting to hide. She just wants to hide from everything . But as you read you see her grow into a very strong woman and does what needs to be done even give up on true love to save her family . I think out of all the sisters she is my favourite . She is so much more complex and you will fall in love with her . You will also want to shake her a few times through out the book also . Kendrick on the other hand you want to dump his head in a water trough a few times . He is gruff and also so broken . He is still trying to come to terms with the death of his beloved wife and doesn’t really treat the children well. When he meets Leana and brings her home . We start to see him change and come back to life . He grows and becomes lovable . Just like all the authors male characters . He is tortured and you just want to hug him and make him feel better .
Leana’s sisters are back helping her out . They come with their mates and rally around the two lovers and help them realize that their love is strong that will help heal them .
The author takes us on one last adventure full of love and intrigue . There is a big battle and you will cheer and also shed a tear or two . I am glad the author took us on the journey and happy that the story ended up the way it did . Great story and trust me you will fall in love with the characters . You need to read the books in order but I strongly say read them all . You will not be disappointed
The reader is treated to Leana’s story which is the last sister who definitely needs her hearts love granted in Kendrick. Really enjoyed reading about their journey as this author pens a world that comes live for the reader. Highly recommend all these books in the series.
This is book #3 and the awesome conclusion to the Darkness Series and of the three Keith sisters. This is Leana Keith, the blood drinkers story. It’s all about the trials and tribulations she goes through and the hope of finding salvation and the chance of a normal life. Of her meeting a widower, Kendrick Fletcher who hires her as a housemaid and to help with his 3 children.
This was the most emotional story of the series. It has suspense, action, magic and sweet romance. Highly recommend this book and series. Would also advise you to read the first two books to have more of an understanding of what has transpired and leads to this story.
This is the final book in the trilogy, and I think my favorite.
Leana has so many things going against her. She just wants what is best for those she cares about. But it seems no matter what she does, nothing goes right.
From the moment she meets Kendrick there is an almost unnatural pull for both of them. But Kendrick isn’t really ready to admit to needing anyone but his dead wife. And Leana isn’t sure she isn’t putting undue influence on Kendrick, which she doesn’t want to do.
But when things really matter, Leana is willing to give up everything to protect everyone she cares about, even Kendrick and his children. Will she have to do the unthinkable? Or will those that love her be able to keep her from making the ultimate sacrifice?
Leana Keith is a Blood drinker trying to hide from the Snowdrop Queen of the unseelie court. Hopefully taking over someone else’s life will make the queen believe she is dead. She is trying her hardest to keep her inner beast under control. Can she live as a human?
Kendrick Fletcher lost his wife in childbirth five years ago and has never recovered. Even the love he has for his children has not stopped him from the drinking to drown his sorrows. His best friend is trying to persuade him that he and the children need a woman in their lives.
Our characters will have more than a few scary moments when the truth comes to light. Who will save whom when the big battle comes? This is the third book in the series and is probably better read in order. I haven’t read the previous books and still understood and enjoyed this one. It would spoil the others if you read it before them.
