Review: Forging Darkness (Fallen Legacies #2) by Julie Hall

About the Book
A hidden kingdom. A dark prince. The world won’t survive them both.

No one knows if Steel is dead or alive . . . except me.

For months I kept the late night calls from Steel a secret, until he let it slip that he tracked down his villainous sister, Silver. He needs help—even if the powerful angel-shifter is too stubborn to admit it.

But the Steel I find isn’t the same boy from Seraph Academy. He’s darker. Haunted. And the distance between us can’t be crossed by a simple flap of my wings.

When a battle with the Forsaken goes horribly wrong, I awaken as a prisoner inside a Fallen stronghold. My enigmatic abductor—Thorne—is manipulative, secretive, and claiming I’m meant to rule by his side.

I’m not buying it, especially since the alluring offer to unveil the mystery of my seraph ancestry comes at the cost of bringing every Nephilim to their knees.

Lines between the realms will blur. My world will burn. And this time, I’m not sure I can fight the darkness on my own . . .

My Thoughts

Forging Darkness is the exciting second book in Julie Hall's Fallen Legacies series.

It's been two months since Steel left the academy on a search to find his wayward sister Silver. When he does find her, he gets more than he bargained for when his friends show up to help him and they come across a situation more dangerous than any of them could have ever predicted.

The characters are definitely tested when they're put into some very precarious situations. And while it was completely nerve-wracking to read about, at the same time, it was also quite inspiring watching them grow and mature while facing almost insurmountable odds and conquering them.

I loved that in addition to Emberly's POV, we got some chapters from Steel's perspective too. It was nice to know what he was thinking and feeling.

This book had a lightning fast pace which made it nearly impossible to put down. There were lots of surprising twists, turns, and reveals, and something so shocking it just about gutted me. Seriously, I don't think I've been that stunned in awhile. I was racing through the pages, hardly able to breathe for a good chunk of the book. I cannot wait for book three!

I received a copy of this book from the author and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
