About this deal

Kiera can be indecisive, and her self-doubt about Draven’s true feelings was questioned countless times when it wasn’t completely necessary. But she is a strong heroine, and her musings just made her feel more ‘human’, so I understand this aspect of her character and at times, when not an irritation, her naivety was rather endearing. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first book, considering how long it was i was expecting more to happen, or more light to be shed on characters i actually put this copy down a few times. Keira and Dominic argue more than anything else, It really did nag on me quite a bit by the end over stupid things, plus its always saying how pure she is, i get that she has been through alot but she acts like any decent human nothing more nothing less. The Author still keeps us in the dark for as to why Kiera, and many many things is left unexplained.

Sometimes, people use pain and sadness to harbor it into something positive, while others hide it away and cry until they are empty.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The protagonists in this book embark on thrilling adventures, facing perilous challenges and overcoming obstacles in their paths. Join them on their heroic journeys and witness their growth, resilience, and determination. Allow their stories to inspire you to face your own challenges with bravery and tenacity. Product Specifications By the time the two main characters finally started to make definitive progress, it was either MEH or it had taken so long to get there that I just didn't care anymore. I'm not sure which it was, but either way I threw in the towel.

The plot itself was just really flawed and not engaging at all, to the point where I didn't want to finish reading but forced myself so I could write a review based on the whole of the book. It was confusing at times, as in you could not see the plot going anywhere, it just sort of floated around. The discovery of who Draven was was left really late in the book, despite all the signs being there. The story about Keira/Catherine escaping from a stalker who kidnapped her felt like it was thrown in at the last minute and it wasn't properly embedded in the plot. The whole idea that Keira could see weird demons and stuff was just confusing and didn't add to the story. Don't make the same mistake I did. I assumed that b/c of the incredibly high rating from a decent number of readers that eventually it was going to get better.I was really hoping Katie and Lucius get together that way he gets a part of Keira too, unfortunately i think not though as the paranormal's seem to recognize their chosen immediately, and he just fancies Katie because she's like Keira. Would have been an interesting love triangle again lol.......

Dominic Draven has a brother named Vincent, and we get the first look at his story in the Kings of Afterlife series. This sadly has yet to be finished as it only has the first book in the series complete and it leaves us with a big cliffhanger. This particular series may also later include stories from some of the other immortal kings and quite possibly Sophia’s story as well. During a very intense scene in which Keira had to be healed by Draven, she was able to see him in his true form for the first time. He tried to pass it off as a hallucination, because she just isn’t ready for the truth. To me, the only way this makes sense is if her ability to sometimes see them is unknown to Draven and Co. Also, why was it such a big deal anyway if she had already been seeing demons her whole life? I can’t decide if Draven and Co. knew about that or not. However later in the book (a few weeks maybe) he mentions that he knows about her gift of painting the demons away so I don’t know if he found out about it later or if he knew at the time of the hallucination conversation. I have a problem with a book that introduces a specific subject as a big deal but then doesn’t do anything else with it. I also cannot stand it when there is a contradiction of the facts which this might have been, or it just might not have been clarified enough creating what looks like a contradiction of the facts but which might not be really. There was SO MUCH DRAMA, especially when her cousin Hilary arrives. Man, Kiera is too nice to her and after that blowout at the club?!? I was actually cheering Kiera on! Hee-Hee She really did a number on her cousin, and the relationship between a Kiera & Dom is just too much for her to adjust to; I wish she would just accept it already.

The Afterlife Saga Series in Order (14 Books)

This book contains a terribly ill-timed first sex scene. It was such bad timing that it felt abusive a little bit. Keira finds herself in danger as her past torturer learns of her whereabouts as made known to her by a creepy phone call and as she is running away in a blind panic, Draven and Co. naturally stop her from leaving. Rather than doing it in a calming manner and ensuring her of her safety, however; they act like weirdos themselves, leaving Keira feeling like they might possibly be involved, which leads to complete terror on her part. They drug her and she wakes up in a strange bed; fakes sleep, and as soon as they leave she does a runner throughout the estate. She is eventually caught and taken to Draven’s room. He continues acting in a creepy manner. He drops a file folder on his desk and says it’s time for the truth….Catherine. Catherine is her real name and the name she used when she was kidnapped and tortured. What kind of cruel, sarcastic asshole would go about it like that? The file folder contains her case file which he has obtained, but it’s not good enough for him as it was unnecessary for her to give a statement due to an overwhelming amount of evidence. So she relives the whole terrible ordeal and this is followed by the aforementioned sex scene. It’s not comforting at all, Draven acts sort of dominant, shouting out random instructions. Turn around! Look at me! NOW! It seems to me there is just no way Keira would be down for that right at that moment and no man worth an ounce of respect would have instigated it. Or possibly it just seemed like he was yelling because of the exclamation points. There was also a lot of unnecessary information within the sex scene itself. For example there is some clothes-ripping on Draven’s part followed up with an explanation as to why he is ripping her clothes. The scene is told from Keira’s point of view and it was insulting to the reader. I can figure out for myself why he ripped her jeans off. I don’t need an explanation.

I still feel like there might be some elements to this series that I might enjoy. Some plot aspects that haven’t been revealed. We don’t know yet what the entire prophecy is behind the Chosen One. I still want to believe that the series has potential. There is plenty to keep me interested I just feel like this is written badly. I think that Dominic Draven can be redeemed if the author thinks it through a little bit first. I would suggest an editor and I really don’t think this book had one. I just cannot believe anyone would allow such a freakish amount of exclamation points to slide by. To help relieve the fear that still eats away at Keira’s core, and to help alleviate hidden threats, Dominic gifts Kiera with a little support, in the form of Ragnar, a Warrior Viking Demon who gets given the task of becoming her new Bodyguard. Okay, now that I've got that out of the way let me start with my dislike for Keira. I don't like her character. Plain and simple. I wanted so badly to throw my Kindle many many times and even had to refrain myself from deleting this book at one point. (And that's NEVER happened just because I hated the heroine so much) Immerse yourself in a captivating world of love, magic, and danger with “Afterlife: Dark Fantasy Romance”, the first book in the Afterlife Saga. This enthralling story takes you on a thrilling journey where supernatural creatures, forbidden romance, and heart-stopping adventures await. With its unique blend of dark fantasy and romance, this book promises to keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. A Gripping Plot All at once she is captivated and plunged into a world she never knew existed, but the deeper her obsession with Draven becomes, the harder it is to decide...should she stay and continue to work within the shadows of the supernatural or should she run from a madness she thinks may consume her?Of course, some deserve it more than most but if I felt nothing then who would I be? Where would be my balance? Good does not exist without the evil and right does not hold weight without knowing the wrong. Book 6 of the afterlife saga I must say has totally confused the shit out of me , up until chapter 15 that is , now I think I get what is going on and I’m like ohhhh ok then I see what’s going on it all makes sense now
