Into the Darkness by Katie Reus

Blurb:
One book. Two stories. A demigod and a half-demon are about to get married. Which means a week of festivities, romance, fun, and the kind of crazy drama wolf shifters are known for. When someone targets the Stavros pack, everyone bands together to fight an unknown enemy and two couples will fight for their chance at happily ever after.

She’s not looking for a mate…

Rhea is a warrior. She’s bled and fought for the Stavros wolf pack for over a hundred years. She never expected to fall for the Alpha of a dragon clan. But when her past comes back to haunt her, she finds herself working side by side with the very man whose been staring in all her fantasies. She never wants to get mated because she’ll never risk getting someone she cares for killed. Not again. So she convinces herself that they have something fun and easy, no strings attached.

But he’s playing for keeps…

Conall, Alpha of the Petronilla clan, has been biding his time claiming his future mate. At fifteen hundred years old he’s patient and cunning. Except when he’s around Rhea, years of civilization are stripped away and all he wants to do is possess her, make her his forever. But something happened in the stubborn woman’s past and she’s determined to keep walls between them. It’s a good thing he’s a dragon. He’ll just burn down every last barrier between them and claim what’s his. But someone from her past is threatening her and her pack—and the life of the woman he’s waited a lifetime to make his own.

Shifters, vampires and dragons are real…

A year ago Liberty had no idea that things that go bump in the night actually existed. But supernatural beings are real. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg in her new reality. Saved from a Hell realm by a team of half-demons and a demigod, she finds herself falling for her sexy rescuer Rory more and more every day. She’s worried she’s too broken to ever have a relationship again, but the more time they spend together, the harder it is to deny her attraction.

And when they choose a mate, they don’t give up easily.

Half-wolf, half-demon Rory has been looking out for Liberty ever since rescuing her from hell. And since she’s the wedding planner for his half-brother’s wedding, he sees her all the time. Not to mention he just happens to spend every night in her bed. Unfortunately he’s in wolf form when he stays over. He’s not sure what it’s going to take to move from friend to more, but he’s willing to wait forever if that’s what it takes. Because Liberty is worth fighting for, and he’ll do whatever it takes to make the brave survivor his.

My Review - 5 Stars!!

Ho-leee smokes! I didn't think that this series could get any better but I was sooooo wrong! Not only it is freaking amazing but we get two different couples stories! Rhea and Conall and Rory and Liberty. Now as much as I adore Katie's dragons I have to say that Rory totally stole the show for me. Even though he is a half demon/half wolf shifter and total bad ass, Rory was so incredibly sweet and patient with Liberty. There is nothing I adore more than seeing the gentle side of an alpha. He knew from the moment he first saw Liberty that she was his mate but because of the trauma that she suffered before her rescue he knows that she needs time to heal before he can claim her. I freaking LOVED this guy! He didn't care how long it took, he was prepared to wait for her no matter what. And in the meantime he pampered her and protected her. He even slept in her bed at night in his wolf form so she wouldn't be alone! *sighs* Sweetest. Thing. Ever. Liberty is no victim, even though she's gone through horrific abuse she is a fighter. She is determined to regain control of her life and learn to trust again. I loved her strength of character! 

While Rory and Liberty's story was full of gentleness and romance, Conall and Rhea's was passion and intensity. Rhea is a tracker for the Stavros pack and is drawn to Conall but she refuses to give into the pull to mate him for fear of endangering his life. Conall on the other hand has had enough of waiting. He is ready to claim his mate but he knows that she will reject an all out frontal assault so he slowly builds their relationship through friendship. I love that he respects her as a warrior. He is possessive and protective but has enough faith in Rhea's abilities that he steps back and lets her fight her own battles. 

Full of action, romance and smexilicious shifters, Into the Darkness was a great addition to The Darkness series and I cant wait to see what comes next!
