A lone, brutal fae warrior.
A lost, wounded human …
and desires so forbidden they must be fought.

Fans of LAURA THALASSA, C.N. CRAWFORD and JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT will love this dark, apocalypse-driven series.

The world was plunged into eternal darkness, riddled by plagues and famines. Then when most of humanity had fallen, they came to finish us off.
The dark fae, brutal warriors of myth, came to kill the last of the humans in this new, dark world.

I’m Coralie – I’m not brave, I’m desperate, so I won’t go down without a fight … if I can stomach it, that is.

This is a novella rapid-release series for KU. For purchase-to-read, please check out the box set which is the full collection of the whole series, available on pre-order now.

Content warnings are as follows – mentions of suicidal ideation, graphic violence, graphic erotic scenes, dark romance, dark psychology. These are not your friendly neighbourhood fae and I like my heroines twisted. —Quinn Blackbird

REVIEW: With a start that intense and dark, it should be a good read……

I have to admit, it felt very surreal reading this at the moment…..

The pandemic sweeping the world feels like an invasion and so I found it hard work at first, and then to find out it written within another series I did have to wonder if I was missing a little information.
But as I travelled further into the book, I didn’t worry about another series, I only wondered and worried about the characters in this book.

So a quick recap, the world was invaded by a plague then an invasion of dark Fae, I get the impression they don’t want to rule us, they want to wipe us off the face of this planet….

They burn their way through the world taking very few prisoners, not sure why they want to wipe humans from existence.

Coralie and a small group of people have banded together for safety, but they are being picked off a couple at a time. But now, they want to fight back, they want to hurt the dark Fae, or at least die trying! What I like about Coralie is the fact she’s not a hero, she’s a coward, but in her position I’d be the same, I’d be hiding behind the door, and out the door! In fact she’s thinking of taking her own life! She’s had enough of trying to survive, but with each battle she’s survived, but if they take her out, she won’t be sorry to leave this scorched and barren world!

And coming face to face with a fae it’s not instant love, it’s not even dislike, it’s fae trying to kill Coralie and the people she’s travelling with, and it’s humans trying to kill the dark Fae, it bloody, brutal and graphic….

And now she’s a prisoner of the dark fae, not dead, oh no, because she has something that’s important to her survival!

It’s a dark fantasy.
Dystopian world
Apocalyptic
Violent
Very Graphic
Extremely Erotic

Not my normal reading material, and I have to admit it’s darker than I thought it might be, but a fabulous read. It feels like your living in the moment with Coralie, your hiding from the fae, your palms get sweaty and I definitely got the tension that the author was building. Nothing is skipped in this short story, really well written, descriptions come alive and your running for your life.
And I can’t wait to see where this story takes us……
And just to warn you, it’s a cliffhanger!!

DARK SKIES
Dark Fae Extinction #2
by Quinn Blackbird
Release Date:
Genre: adult, paranormal, dark, erotic, romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

A lone, brutal fae warrior and a lost, wounded human … and desires so forbidden they must be fought.

Taken by a ruthless dark fae warrior;
Captive in a cold, dark world;
Praying for the end to come …

The warrior who stole me when I was meant to die by his hand has other plans. Binding me in rope, he is dragging me across the planes of France in a journey to find the rest of his unit.
It should be a long, gruelling trek with cruelties from this wicked beast —

And yet…

I find him watching me in the dark, tending to my wounds, and protecting me from other more sinister threats.
This isn’t what was supposed to happen when I emptied that gun into him. I was supposed to die.
Now, I’m suffered to live too close to a beast I am learning to hate a little less than I should.

But I still plan on killing him.

•••••••••

REVIEW: We start this part of the series roughly where the last book ended.

Coralie is a prisoner of a dark Fae soldier, Coralie and Spike (part of the group she was with) were the only survivors of the bomb they tried to detonate and kill the fae soldiers that were after them. It wiped out the soldiers, leaving just one deadly fae. But it also killed the group Spike and Coralie were with!

Making his way back to his unit, the fae drags his prisoners across the French countryside. He doesn’t care if they are wounded, he doesn’t care if they are starving, he’s going to get back to his soldiers (I’m not sure why he wants Coralie and Spike)

There is an uneasy feeling between the three. The fae doesn’t trust the humans, Coralie just wants to kill the warrior then herself, and maybe take Spike out too (no love lost between the two human, she thinks Spike is a creep, and i totally agree)
There is no give in the warrior, he tends to his wounds, but doesn’t care about the welfare of his prisoners (in fact I think he gets great delight being exceptionally cruel to Coralie)

There is nothing but fear and animosity towards the warrior, so I don’t see how we are going to make a romance out of this book.

And when Coralie tries to take out her enemy, it backfires hugely and with Spike turning traitor, it looks like Coralie’s life is about to end……
And that where it ends!!!! Man it’s getting good.

She still isn’t a hero, her sole aim now in life is to kill the fae warrior and then meet her end!!
It’s all very dark and depressing but also fascinating…..
How humans are now practically extinct. Small pockets of resistance, but with the Dark Fae being so powerful it’s only a matter of time before the human race is no more!!

The description is a little misleading, there is no protection, there is only hate! She may have gotten to look at the warrior naked once, but I don’t think it’s enough for her to change her mind! He spends time looking at her, but then torments her, and when he believes Spike over Coralie?!?!

Yet another cliffhanger ending!!! Definitely keeps you wanting more!

DARK DAYS

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

ABOUT THE BOOK A lone, brutal fae warrior and a lost, wounded human … and desires so forbidden they must be fought.

A dark fae warrior, a beast of cruelty and brutality.
A dark-minded human survivor, taken as prisoner.
And too many cold, quiet moments in the blackness.

It’s a dark world and only the monsters survive it.
That’s what I am — I must be. How else could I be feeling all of this for my captor, a fae warrior determined to exterminate my kind?

He cares nothing for me beyond lust.

There’s no escape — he watches my every move on our journey to link up with his army.
And my fate might have just taken a turn for the worst when two more of his kind stumble onto our path…

Before, I thought the only way out was to kill him. I tried and failed, twice.
Now, I know it’s me who must die. Preferably before one of those other dark fae get their hands on me.

Quinn Blackbird loves an anti-hero.
All of her villains stay submerged in ‘dark’ so expect little redemption. She thinks them up over hot coffees and warm cups of tea on the porch.
When not writing, Quinn is either tackling a new face mask or snuggling with a book on the couch with her two pups.
After living in Scotland most of her life, Quinn then moved around the world writing for a few years, visiting distant family. Though she loved Australia the most–only in summer!–she has decided to put down some roots in Paris once everything has settled down.
