Where Darkness Lies

In book one, we learned that Jess was in hiding on Hendrix's ship. Dimitri was abused as a boy and blames Hendrix for not saving him so he wants revenge. He kidnaps Jess, knowing she is someone important to Hendrix, in order to cause him pain.

Book 2 picks up right where book 1 ended. Jess is Dimitri's captive. For the first bit of the book, not much is happening. They learn about each other, and the reader learns about things they have in common. Both have troubled pasts. Both are survivors. He's sexy. I like how he's described—very dark complected with dark hair and light blue eyes. My favorite during this portion was his physical description and Jess's sense of humor. She's quick-witted and sarcastic. I totally get her.

"There are

many women with uncomfortable vaginas right now because you gave them the sex eyes."

When the underground fighting, ghosts of the past and relationship between Dimitri and Jess got more serious and started changing everything, the storyline got markedly better in my opinion. I felt the characters became more engaging. And I really liked the direction the author took it. The female was more of the star of this book. She was fierce yet still believable. The story ended up not being what I expected, but in a good way.

I fell for Dimitri and Jess, and I enjoyed this book. In my opinion it's better than book one.

*** I received an arc in exchange for an honest review ***

I absolutely love Bella Jewel's book and this one did not disappoint.
A different concept was used by Bella and here we have pirates, and I found that to be a breath of fresh air.

It carries on from where the last book left off and we learn more about the characters in this one. You get to fall more in love with Dimitri and we see how damaged and hurt he is from the actions of Hendrix, his stepfather.

We follow the developing relationship of Jess and Dimitri after he steals her away from Hendrix.

This is a well written book that will have you engrossed from page one, I will look forward to seeing what Bella has for us next.
