Immortal Guardians Book #9
Releasing August 20, 2019
Delve into the most
eagerly anticipated book in New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall’s
“utterly addictive” (RT Book Reviews), “fast-paced and humorous” (Publishers
Weekly) Immortal Guardians series.
Seth has led the Immortal Guardians for thousands of years.
With them fighting by his side, he has protected humans from psychotic
vampires, defeated corrupt mercenary armies, defended military bases under
attack, and more. But the latest enemy to rise against the Immortal Guardians
has proven to be a formidable one, wielding almost as much power as Seth. His
goal is simple. He wants to watch the world burn. And he will use every means
at his disposal to accomplish it. Seth and his Immortal Guardians have
succeeded thus far in staving off Armageddon despite heartbreaking losses. But
they have never before faced such danger. Seth has only one wish: to protect
his Immortal Guardians family and ensure the continuation of humanity by
defeating his foe. But then Leah walks into his life and sparks a new desire.
Leah Somerson has suffered losses of her own. It has taken
her a long time to rebuild her life and find some semblance of peace. Then one
night a tall, dark, powerful immortal with what appears to be the weight of the
world on his shoulders stumbles into her shop, and everything changes. Peace
and contentment are no longer enough. Now she wants more. She wants to find
happiness. She wants to erase the darkness in Seth’s eyes and replace it with
love and laughter. She knows he’s different in ways that make most fear him.
Even some of his immortal brethren keep a careful distance. But Leah will not.
Nor will she shy away when danger strikes.
Death of Darkness is the ninth book in the Immortal Guardians series. It's also the one I have been waiting for since the beginning. Seth is the leader of the Immortal Guardians and is the one who needs some love in his life the most. This book was everything I wanted for Seth's story! I literally read this 500 page book on my flight from Phoenix to Boston. I couldn't put it down. Being the ninth book, I don't really want to talk plot because it would give away a lot of back story. This book does kind of assume you have read from the beginning.
I will say that I giggled, I swooned and I teared up several times. I held my breath through several scenes only to let it out in relief. I loved Leah for Seth. Talk about a slow burn romance! The rest of the characters who I have loved from the start start are all in this one. Ethan was one of my favorites, but I love him so much more in this one. You'll have to read to find out why. There is so much revealed in this story that I'm still processing it all. Basically, I love this series. I know this will be in my top ten again this year. I highly recommend this one (It's out on August 20!) as well as the entire series. The book ends with a cliffhanger. I need the next book now!
Adira squirmed in Leah’s arms,
wanting down.
Leah lowered her until her little sneaker-clad
feet touched the floor.
Adira toddled away, patting the
garments that brushed her head and shoulders.
Straightening, Leah watched her for
a moment, then turned back to Seth. “I guess I’ll get back to work.”
Was that disappointment he felt upon
hearing her words? He really was enjoying her company.
Adira turned around and toddled
back. Grasping Leah’s fingers, she reached out, took Seth’s hand, and placed
Leah’s in it.
Seth instinctively curled his
fingers around Leah’s.
Satisfied, Adira turned and toddled
off once more.
“Oh,” Leah said with a surprised
chuckle. “Well. Maybe not.”
Seth was surprised, too. What was
Adira thinking?
He glanced at Leah. Should he
apologize? “Sorry about that.”
“No worries,” she said with another
charming smile. Raising their clasped hands, she turned them so his was on top
and slid her free hand over it. “Oooh. Look how big your hand is.”
How many times had he heard Tracy or
one of the other mortal women he frequently encountered think Oooh. Look how big his hands are. You know what they say: big hands, big feet,
big package in much the same tone as Leah’s.
Seth couldn’t help it. He barked out
a laugh.
Leah’s eyes widened. “Wait. I didn’t
mean that the way it sounded.”
“It sounded as if you like that my
hands are so big.”
She flushed. “I do, but I didn’t
mean it like you think.”
“How do I think you meant it?” he asked
with exaggerated innocence.
Face red, she laughed. “Stop making
me blush. I just meant I like that you’re so big. Not just your hands. But all
over.” Again her eyes widened. “I mean, not all
over, but—”
Laughing, he took pity on her. “It’s
all right. I understood what you meant the first time.”
Smiling, she squinted up at him.
“You like to tease, don’t you?”
“Guilty as charged.” Many immortals
did. It helped lighten what could otherwise be a dark existence.
She caressed his hand again, sending
little tingles through it. “My hand actually looks small in yours. That’s so
cool.”
It did. And the sensations her soft
touch inspired unnerved him a bit. His pulse even picked up.
Seth eyed her curiously. “You really
dislike your size so much?” He thought it a shame. She was a beautiful woman.
Shrugging, she released his hand and
let hers fall to her sides. “When someone gives you a complex in high school,
it tends to stick with you.”
Adira reappeared as if by magic.
Taking Leah’s hand, she again placed it in Seth’s, then moved away.
The two looked at each other and
smiled.
Leah nodded after Adira. “Maybe
she’s hoping I’ll distract you so she can take her time looking over the toys
she plans to coax you into buying before you leave.”
Seth winked. “Or maybe she just
heard you say you like my big hands.”
She laughed.
