Description In Favor Of Books Darkness Falls (Ravenwood Mysteries #2)
April Dunne is having a rough time. There are vampires in her school. Not Goths, or Emos in fancy dress. Dangerous, blood-sucking semi-immortals. They run the school. They pretend to be students at it. And they're using their influence to recruit smart, rich students - aka 'bleeders' - to their own cause. What is that cause? April isn't sure. But she knows they killed a rock star for it, and innocents who got too close to the truth. One of them almost killed her. But that's nothing to what's coming next. Gabriel, her kinda-boyfriend, is dying and unless April can find a cure then not only is she going to be boyfriendless, she's also going to lose one of her major allies in the school. And she really needs allies. Because it turns out April has an ability of her own, one that could prove lethal to the 'Suckers' who've taken over the school. If any of them figure out what she is, then losing her boyfriend will be the least of her problems ...Rating About Books Darkness Falls (Ravenwood Mysteries #2)

Please bear in mind that this is Book 2 in the series and may therefore contain spoilers from the previous book, By Midnight review here.The prologue of this book brings to mind images of Jack the Ripper, the scene is set immediately just by the chapter heading, however I had trouble reconcile the image of Jack the Ripper as a vampire. This notion could just be my over active imagination adding 2 and 2 together to make 5.The story picks up a few weeks after the stunning ending of By Midnight.Earlier this year, when I read By Midnight I was really pleasantly surprised with how much I liked it. I'd been really looking forward to the sequel and snapped it up as soon as it came out.Sadly, it was really disappointing.The atmospheric quality that made By Midnight intriguing seemed to be completely absent. April was no longer fun and independent. Rather, she was selfish and over-dramatic and kinda dumb. Sure, there's a certain amount of character behaviour that you can let go due to grief
I am a HUGE fan of this series and loved the first book By Midnight as you can see from my review. So much so I went and visited Highgate Cemetery when I was in London, have a look at my pictures here.Darkness Falls, starts were By Midnight ended on it's awesome cliffhanger. April feels guilty for infecting a deadly virus onto her boyfriend Gabriel, whom is a vampire. I really love April as a main character, she is a bit selfish in the typical teenage style, she can kick some ass but still lacks

This review was originally posted on Fluttering ButterfliesI was very excited to hear of Darkness Falls by Mia James, the sequel to By Midnight. By Midnight was the first book I finished this year, and I loved the combination of mystery, romance and creep factor involved in the story about an infestation of vampires in this fancy school near Highgate Cemetery. It was thrilling and exciting and I thought it would be a hard book to follow. I'm thrilled to say that if anything, I enjoyed Darkness
A good second instalment in the series. Resolves a lot of things from the first book and we finally find out who the regent is causing more issues... April has grown as a character she still occasionally has her outbreaks which are definitely needed at points. The twists and turns in this book i did not see coming and Mia's writing kept the book flowing and made it hard to put the book down. As soon as i finished this book i have started reading the third and I can not wait to see what happens
I should just stop reading this series but some sort of morbid fascination keeps me sticking with it.April is annoying. No 2 ways about it. She's a bit dim and very selfish. That being said, I got annoyed with people telling her to grow up. She's very young and has a lot to deal with. No one seems to want to help her either.Gabriel is a dick quite frankly. You've been alive for over 100 years - learn to communicate dammit! Also his plot twist that is coming is so obvious it isn't even funny.The
I personally was awestruck by the book - and its prequel. It is actually quite good - except for the fact that the author is the bitch of plagiarism. She has used ideas and terms from literally every single teenage YA paranormal novel - Twilight, vampire diaries, vampire academy, mortal instruments, bloodlines, caster chronicles, and just so many more. it ruins the uniqueness and the beauty of the story once you discovered that some of the stuff in the books were copied from previously released
