I
received an early copy for review for the Xpresso Book Tour. The book
is available now in e-formats. It's the second installment in the
series. It's dark, emotional and an utterly addictive read.
Rose desperately wants to
escape the abuse of the father who impregnated her and the dark
spirits that sit on the edges of her perception haunting her. Being
thrust from Georgia 1961 into the era of Salem’s infamous witch
trials isn’t what she had in mind, and now her daughter is left
hopelessly out of reach.
The only way to return to
her daughter is by facing certain death to banish the dark spirits
that plague Salem. If she doesn’t eliminate these dark spirits in
time, they will destroy civilization and trap her in this strange new
place, ages away from her daughter.
Even if she can complete
the task in time to return home to save her daughter, there’s still
one problem: she’s falling in love with a man who can’t return
with her. Achieving her goals will force her to choose between the
only man who has never betrayed her and a daughter she can’t quite
remember but will never forget.
Come, The Dark takes
the dark theme and runs with it, with hope just sitting out of reach
at the end of the tunnel. Hamilton manages to weave a textured and
well paced story of hopelessness, loss and abuse while still making
it a compelling read. The back drop of Salem makes for a play ground
of opportunity for redemption and difficult choices.
Rose/Cordovae
proves to be a strong heroine that continues to rise and fight no
matter what it thrown at her. She's thrown one impossible task after
another, but like any mother she is desperate to get back to her
child, even though it will break her heart in the process. In many
ways, Come, The Dark is
very different from the first book in the series, The
Forever Girl, following a
different character in the same world. Just as the first book it is a
standalone.
Come, The Dark
is beautifully written. The story line is imaginative, and the
dialogue is snappy. The action is well paced, and the descriptive
passages build the world of Salem so vividly that it transports the
reader there seamlessly. If you've never picked up a Rebecca Hamilton
book, you're in for a treat with this one.
