HOUSE OF RAVENS
(Book 2, The Nightfall Chronicles)


You think you know the path to victory? Then tell me how you'll win.

Will you buy triumph with gold and favors? Will you marshal armies and trade in blood? Or will you be the hand in the dark, your fingers on the strings? Whatever you decide, know this. If you put the innocent at risk...

You will answer to me.

I am the keeper of secrets and the teller of lies. I am the shadow of death and the bringer of light. I will become a Knight of the First.

And the Orders will crumble.




REVIEW

Thrilling from start to finish, this multifaceted story took all of my favorite aspects from a number of different genres and combined them into one heart-breaking but kick ass read. It was like a mashup of some of my most loved series', including the likes of Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, and The Night Watchmen series, but with its own unique qualities that made it stand out from the rest. I loved everything about it.

While book one was a great introduction to Scarlett, the Orders, and the Nephilim war, I enjoyed how this book gave me more insight into the goings on in Castle V and the Initiate program. It was also great to see Scarlett make some friends and for her to gain some sort of normalcy back, between all the chaos, secrets, and lies.

Although I love Jax, Kai was super amazing and sweet, once he stopped being a royal douche. And, with all the complications between Jax and Star, it was good to see her with someone who seemed to truly accept her in every way. I had to wonder though if Jax would be as accepting is she just gave him half a chance. I also had to wonder about his whereabouts throughout the story, even though I had an inkling as to where he might be, and I was glad to see I was right.

This story was a complex, twisted web of deceit, that saw alliances built on lies crumble to the ground as they destroyed Nightfall's world more than the Orders ever could. It was a constant game of cat and mouse as she fought for justice and freedom, which meant going against those she's shared a common goal with as well as those who were her enemies, proving that trust is a fickle thing.

With many surprises hidden in the pages of this book, I was constantly on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next. But, OMG, the events at the tournament knocked the breath out of me and saw me turn into an emotional basket case. My heart was ripped from my chest, and I had to stop reading because I couldn't see past my tears.

And, then, to top it off, the Epilogue unleashed so many questions in my mind and had it working overtime. All I can say is that I need the next installment in this series, as in yesterday. Absolutely brilliant.







If you haven't read the first book in the series, Court of Nightfall, start the epic saga here.
It's on sale for just 99cents for a limited time, so grab it now!

#KKNC Review: Court of Nightfall by Karpov Kinrade #NightfallChronicles1




I've spent my life in shades of grey. It wasn't until I died that my world filled with color.

That night, I still lived in black and white. There was a full moon. Full and looking as if it had been rolled in powdered sugar then plopped back into the sky, so that a white dusting shone around it like a halo.

I've never believed in monsters, or any of that nonsense. Never believed that the dark could be scary. Until that night. Now I know the truth, but it is shrouded with lies. Now I can see the world in color, but it is covered in shadows. Now, I must find the monster that killed my parents. And when I do, I will use my new powers to seek vengeance. A life for the lives that beast stole from me. I am no longer just Scarlett Night, the color-blind girl who dreams of flying.

Now, I am Nightfall—a fallen angel with a lust for blood. And I shall have my revenge.

This is volume 1 of a 6 book volume Chronicle, which is the first in the Nightfall Chronicles.
 







REVIEW


A thrilling start to what I expect to be a spectacular series from the bestselling duo, Karpov Kinrade, I was instantly sucked into this story. I will admit, though, that this book was quite different from what I was expecting. I imagined it to be purely fantasy based, with paranormal beings in a fantasy world, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it took place on earth, and had a great mix of normal and paranormal beings.

Scarlett was likable from the very first second she was introduced. The struggles she faced in her desire to reach her dream gave her an innocent, human quality, however, her determination to see her dreams come true, not matter what stood in her path, showed a more fierce individual; one to be respected. And this fierceness showed through in every decision she made throughout the book.

Everything seemed pretty normal for Scarlett, until it all fell apart, and she realized her life had been built on secrets and lies. Thrown into a new existence, having to face many changes and to accept the truths that had been hidden from her, Scarlett had many choices to make. Although, on the outside, the Orders seemed to be fighting for the right cause, deep within the walls of Castle V, there was plenty corruption and deception, making me wonder if they could be trusted in any way. And then there was Zorin, a being she never would have imagined teaming up with. It felt like Scarlett had more faith in him than she did in, Jax, her lifelong friend. I could, however, understand her hesitancy in trusting someone who had lied to her and kept secrets; some of Jax’s behaviour was questionable, even though he, in his own way, seemed to after the same outcome as she was.


In a fight for truth, freedom and justice, Scarlett and her new alliances have a great battle before them. One I am only too eager to see come alive in the pages of the other books in this series. Part X-men, part Nikita, this book was filled with suspense and intrigue – and by that epilogue, this story is a twisted web of lies just waiting to be unravelled.
