Deeper into Darkness

Darkness Series, Book 2

By: Maria Ann Green

Narrated by: Kim Rossi

From the outside, Bee Iverson and her fiancé, Aidan Shepard, look like any other happy couple - but looks can be deceiving. Not long into their engagement, secrets seep out of her past, lies surround them, and unwelcome surprises leak into their lives, breaking down Bee’s confidence not only in herself but in their relationship, too.

Secret: Bee’s keeping a piece of her past from Aidan - for him.

Aidan knows Bee’s a serial killer, preying on men as often as she can. In fact, their shared passion of such dark desires fuels their love for each other. Each stalks the cold, dark nights of Maine in search of their next victims - but separately. Aidan doesn’t want to play as a pair, but afterward they celebrate every kill. Every time blood is shed, their relationship deepens.

Lie: Bee is like any other serial killer.

As her past starts to bleed into her present, sleep comes harder and harder and monsters lurk around every corner. Worse still: As suspicion builds around a missing person’s case involving the murderous pair, Bee will have to either outwit the detective breathing down her neck...or come up with another way to secure her freedom.

Surprise: Freedom comes at a high price.

Bee's the last person you'd suspect to slit your throat, but she has lots of practice.

Content Warning: Graphic violence, sexual content, and language

I bought this by mistake

I bought this book by mistake and I thought I would try it. It's not my kind of book. I couldn't finish it and returned it. I'm sure someone else would like it, but just not me.

Really different and confusing

This is one weird story. I struggled with the characters. Not them per say but the idea of them. They were all over the place. The story seemed to choppy and a lot of thoughts put together. One min they are dragging a body through the woods and the next they are having sex. No break in the scene. Then usually it’s back to body dragging or killing. Whenever B goes to a bar. I never really know which what is really happening and what isn’t. Usually she can’t remember either so I get no answer. That ending was just on par with the rest of the book. Apparently this story isn’t for me.

I did listen to this on audio. The narrator, Kim Rossi, sounded a bit nasally at for but either I got used to it or she quit. Either way after that everything went fine.

Dark and intense

First of all, this is a dark book. Don't go in thinking you'll get sunshine and rainbows; it takes those rainbows and grinds them into a dust and consumes the sunshine until everything is dark. It's an interesting anti-hero story about a serial killer -- a couple of serial killers, actually. And I don't mean couple as in pair. I mine a romantic couple. It's a psychological wild ride into the mind of Bee, who not only likes to kill, but she also is incredibly lustful. So, on top of dark, expect a lot of intimate scenes that are equally intense in their own right, and dark on occasion as well. It's a unique take from the twisted mind of a woman who partners with another of the same mindset and how they evade capture as well as find solace in each other. Highly recommend but not for the faint of heart.

I love the paranormal

Maria Ann Green delivered wonderfully on this audio book. I was scared, tense, and look forward to getting in the car to hear this audio book. Excellent!
