My thoughts about Love in Darkness ~~
Today is my stop on the Love in Darkness tour, sponsored by AToMR Tours. You can visit the other stops on the tour here.
Yesterday I posted my thoughts about book #1 in this series, Castles on the Sand. You can read them here.
Love is Darkness is book #2 is the Shattered Castles series but can be read as a standalone novel. I thoroughly enjoyed book #1, Castles on the Sand, and was glad that I had read it first. Emily does a great job writing Love to be enjoyed by itself but I know that I got so much more out of it by having read Castles first.
I loved Madison in the first book and the troubled relationship that continues in book #2 between Madison and Alex kept me very interested in reading more. Alex has a lot of issues to work through and feels he should go it alone. But should anyone be alone?
Once again, Emily has written a very enjoyable, touching story that I was able to get lost in and savor.

Castles on the Sand (Shattered Castles #1)
If there’s one thing Madison Lukas understands, it’s pain. The pain she feels when her mother ignores her completely. The pain her best friend endures as her parents starve her as punishment. The pain of a dangerous boy whose mother has to be carried away by law enforcement on a regular basis.
She gets it. She feels the pain of others as if it were her own.
But when a mysterious man claiming to be her long lost brother appears with promises of relieving her suffering, trusting him could reveal more truths than Madison is ready for. Because the truth can hurt, too.
