Oh my goodness, what can I say. Dark Becoming has to be the best book of the series so far. There were so many twist and turns that I thought things were going one way when they indeed were going a totally different direction.

The book picks up right where Dark Liaison stopped. After I read Dark Liaison I read Athena’s Oracle. Athena’s Oracle made me kind of like Jalmari, the audience got to see a different side to Jalmari, a side that would suggest that he wasn’t as horrible as a person as he makes himself out to be. However, within seconds of Dark Becoming, this book will have you hating his guts yet again. In Dark Becoming, there were a couple scenes that would make you think, “Hey, maybe Jalmari could come around.” Nope! At the very last second, he shows his true colors and how untrustworthy and evil he truly is. Even though I can understand why he wants to do what he wants to do to a certain degree, it’s still evil and incomprehensible.

Ema and Jesu’s relationship goes through a few battles. Which is heartbreaking for us who love the two being a couple. Ema is having a hard time in this book trying to accept and deal with her new revelation, along with trying to take down Apollyon and dealing with her rocky relationship with Jesu. And don’t even get me started on Bridget, she really needs to learn to grow up and get over her and Jesu.

All in all, I really loved this book and could hardly put it down. This series has really surprised me in a good way. The first time I picked up the first book I didn’t think the current of events would lead us to where we are now. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book and to see what the future of this series brings us. J.D. Brown really knows how to write an amazing series that hooks you from the very beginning. If you haven’t already read the previous books of this series, I truly recommend you check them out. You will not be disappointed.
