Dark Destiny

Author Thomas Grave sent me an e-version of Dark Destiny to review.

First, Thomas Grave is a great name for an author writing about Death/ The Reaper. It just fits.

More important, this book is really good! Grave brings so many twists and turns to the afterlife and spirit world it's mind-boggling. Soul Hierarchy? Really? I hope I get to go straight to the light.

Archangels? Seals? Shades? Dudes to seriously not mess with. But then again, neither is Death. Political treachery and manipulation even in the afterlife. Dark Destiny is indeed a wild ride. Plenty of action, violence, teenage angst, love, romance, self-sacrifice, greed, lust for power, moral dilemmas, and just plain weirdness. This is one active book, the first in a series, so hang on!

Dark Destiny is, naturally, well... dark. But not so dark as to feel oppressive. There is comic relief, young love, and the strangest plane between Heaven and Hell (though they are not identified as such) you will ever see. It is a fast paced book yet only covers three or four days of present day. There are some flashbacks for development. For me there were no excess words, the story was focused and on track throughout. I look forward to what comes next.

For a wild and exciting ride through the spirit world, I highly recommend Dark Destiny by Thomas Grave (oh that name). Enjoy!
