Humans and cyborgs are forbidden from communicating in any way, without permission from the government.Īfter Darkness II follows on directly after the events of After Darkness. 20 years on in the present day, cyborgs have been reintroduced to society. They lost and were exiled to No Man’s Land, a desolate wasteland outside of the seven Capitals. But then the cyborgs (and some humans) rebelled in what’s known as the Dark Era. Cyborgs were then introduced into society, living alongside humans. Over 100 years ago, the government started experimenting on humans to create cyborgs. Johns for sending me a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.Īfter Darkness is set in a dystopian world with 7 distinct Capitals. I’m so thankful for my copy of the book, and I can’t wait to read the next one!!! I enjoyed the strong messages of hope, perseverance, fighting for what (and who) you believe in, and love. Some of these scenes are intense, but the characters’ determination, survival instincts, and commitment to each other fuels them. The story also touches on issues like PTSD, abuse, and death. The unpredictability, the unique story-line, the amazing characters, and, of course, the romance make for a gripping and immersive read. I love how the author writes and how elements of the story that seem irrelevant become super significant. It kept me on the edge of my seat, excited (and a little afraid) to find out what happened next. This is such a layered and carefully constructed story filled with suspenseful action scenes, dramatic revelations, disturbing and malicious mysteries, and more. I’m eager to see more of the siblings and to learn more about them in future books and feel like they, with Scarlet and the rest of her found family, may be the key to changing the oppressive nature of this dystopian society.Īs much as I love the amazing and well-developed characters, the plot is equally intriguing. The powers also really helpful in fighting Petra, as she is also immortal and has some pretty scary powers herself. They, like Scarlet, are immortal and have superhuman abilities, which are really cool. Scarlet’s siblings are all fascinating as well, and I loved their roles in the story. It’s interesting to see how Terra, Kalem, Scarlett, and the others work to figure out how to defeat Petra when she is virtually undefeatable. She is disturbing and disturbed, and her desire for power and revenge has irrevocably corrupted her. ![]() Petra’s evilness continues in this story, and her maliciousness knows no bounds. The depth of their feelings and the strength of their love continues to grow regardless of the obstacles that continually stand in their way. ![]() ![]() When she is confronted with unfathomable pain and possible death, Kalem can do nothing but try to help her. When Terra struggles with her memories, she is still drawn to Kalem. Their love and connection are tested so much in this story. The relationship between Kalem and Terra is one of deep and unconditional love. Kalem and Terra have an amazing found family full of dynamic, caring, and loyal individuals who will do anything for each other, which is good because the government and its leaders threaten their lives at every turn. Kalem’s parents, the twins, and several other characters have important roles in the story, and I enjoyed their character arcs, as well. She has some amazing gifts, as do many of the other characters in the novel, and the way she uses them to save herself and her friends is amazing. Scarlet is lost to the monster inside of her, but Eric never stops fighting to bring her back, nor does Scarlet. He, like Kalem, will do anything to help the woman he loves, and I loved the way their relationship progressed. The characters are layered and dynamic, and I can’t get enough of them! Scarlet and Eric are relationship goals, and I adore their love story! Eric is so charming and funny, though he often uses his humor to deflect from his true feelings. It also shows events that happen simultaneously and how each contributes to and affects the others. The story is told from several characters’ perspectives, which offers an in-depth view of the thoughts and feelings of them all. In a dystopian world where cyborgs, humans, and others live under the oppression of a controlling government, nothing is as it seems. Johns has created such a unique and fascinating world, which quickly immerses the reader into the story. After Darkness II expands on these fantastic elements and left me eager for the third book in the series! If you read my review of the first book, you know that I fell in love with the characters, the dystopian world, the intriguing plot, the romance, the supernatural elements, and more. Johns offered me a copy of After Darkness II, the second book in the After Darkness series.
