Book: A Dive into Darkness by CJ Holmes
Reviewed by Karina's Magical Reads
Rating: 5/5
This was my first MM Dark Romance story and CJ did not disappoint. This story immediately out the gate pulls you in. The first couple of chapters were chilling and had you on the edge of your seat From there you follow Jude, a human, who is literally pulled into the depths of the ocean by a creature he doesn't recognize. Lorien is the King of the ocean, and when Jude is found upon his palace edge, he is intrigued by his presence but leery of what this could mean. Lorien is instantly determined to control and claim Jude as his for whatever he deems. Their story and relationship continues to evolve and the mysteries of the Merpeople and Kelpies starts to unravel, while we find out that Jude plays a larger role. Lorien starts to fall deep and hard for Jude while trying to maintain his strong leadership role in his Kingdom. The twists and turns you experience in their story continually grip you till the end. I really enjoyed watching Jude and Lorien's relationship evolve as well as their growth as people. CJ's ability to take two charachters and merge their worlds in such an interesting and compelling way, is astonishing. I highly recommend this book, but also the entire Dark & Devilish Series.
