I appreciate that Kelley is such a strong individual and that her growth is clearly evident throughout each book. Many of us have had to figure out this confusing debacle. Still, she must look within herself and determine what her feelings for Fenn mean not only for her, but for her relationship with Sonny. Kelley loves Sonny, but that doesn't mean that she can't have feelings for someone else. This part of the novel is so realistic to me. It does, however, show just how good Livingston at writing the romance aspect of her stories. because I honestly have a hard time choosing and that isn't normal for me. I have a love/hate relationship with the Sonny-Kelley-Fennrys love triangle.

there will be an epic battle and then a little timeout for some kissing and then back to the fight. Livingston writes absolutely fantastic love scenes. Take my word for it, these books are well worth reading, and, now that they're all released, it's the perfect time to pick them up. I'm a strong proponent of Kelley and Sonny's relationship, so I felt the sting of DARKLIGHT's conclusion during the wait for TEMPESTUOUS, but I think some of my wild longing for this third book dissipated over the long months I waited.

I really love these books, so I have a pretty good memory of the events and whatnot, but there's something to be said about reading a trilogy or series all in one monstrous bite. Each time I picked up the newest installment, I was worried that I'd be forgetting a briefly mentioned detail that would tie everything together. I don't regret reading these books as they were released, but, if you haven't read any of them yet, I highly recommend reading them all in rapid succession rather than with months in between. Every bit of emotional turmoil inflicted on the characters and readers in the second installment is essential to fully appreciate Kelley's journey and this phenomenal final chapter to her story. Luckily, Livingston knows exactly what her characters (and readers!) need. not only was it intense, but readers were left to wait for answers for months.

Lesley Livingston left readers hanging with a gut wrenching conclusion to DARKLIGHT. The intrigue and romance that began with Wondrous strange and Darklight come to a stormy head in Tempestuous, the breathtaking conclusion to Lesley Livingston's ravishing urban Faerie trilogy.
