The Rising Darkness Rising Kelley Armstrong Books

This was the third (and final) volume of the Nadia Stafford series. I thought it was an excellent conclusion to this mystery/thriller series. I really enjoyed this whole series a lot and loved how this book wrapped up. Only complaint is that I feel like the ending was a bit rushed.

In this volume Nadia is finally forced to confront her past when Jack hunts down the man that killed Nadia’s childhood friend Amy. Unfortunately for Nadia someone gets to her friend’s killer first and Nadia is left trying to figure out how Amy’s death is wrapped into a much bigger mystery.

I zipped right through this book and had a tough time putting it down. I loved all the mystery, action, and suspense. This is also the book where Nadia and Jack finally start to sort out their relationship issues; this was both painful and absolutely awesome to read through.

I enjoyed how things were tied up in a hopeful and realistic way. The ending does feel a bit rushed; a ton happens in the last couple chapters.

Overall this was a fantastic conclusion to the Nadia Stafford series. I really enjoyed this high octane series about a hit woman who is trying to lead a dual life. It’s a bit different from other mystery/thrillers I have read and I really enjoyed it. Armstrong has become a go to author for me, she rarely disappoints and I look forward to reading more of her books in the future.

The Rising Darkness Rising Kelley Armstrong Books Reviews

This series was pretty damn good. The ex-cop gone Hitman provided for an interesting and fascinating tale.

Nadia is a bad-ass and classy woman. She has spine and wits. She's doesn't come across as a heroine in this tale, more like a person who had to adapt her morals in order to survive. The struggles she faces with herself and others, het numerous attempts to not stray from the path and go completely rogue are well depicted, you struggle with her. When people propose things to her, you want to scream in her head, don't take it!

Jack is the silent guardian type. He's strong, he's protective but he knows and trusts Nadia. Though he can be overbearing, he evolves and respects the room Nadia needs to grow. You literally see him soften and open up to Nadia. The dynamics are a great read.

In short this story was satisfying both, romantically and psychologically. The plots and twists added momentum and provided the needed suspense. All in all good read.
I loved The Otherworld, Cainsville, and Rockton books by this author but this series...
It started out strong in the first book, The Gathering. Predictable but still intriguing enough to keep on to book two.
Book two, The Calling, relied way to much on repetitive actions which stopped being exciting and became blah after the 3rd dive into the woods/barely escaping...
But this last book, The Gathering was insufferable. This was the epitome of telling, not showing. I resorted to reading the first and last sentence of several paragraphs because the descriptions were the same, repeatedly. Worse, she introduced powers and concepts and just abandoned them. Tossing them casually aside when they could have come into play multiple times.
Usually focusing on details Armstrong abandoned good story telling for horribly cliché and not well considered teen angst.
The ending is what we call a Buffy ending, everything is wrapped up in a last minute summary that doesn't really climax but just..ends happily ever after.
The angst was the same as always. Teen love triangle- gag.
It was painfully obvious she became bored and disenchanted with her own ideas as the story progressed and she wanted to wrap it up as quickly as possible. As a result, that attitude showed and I became bored and disenchanted with her just blurting everything rather than really taking the reader along for a ride.

This book is an incredibly horrible disservice to teens and definitely a flip off to even the basics of good story telling. The sheer amount of trust isolated kids show in newcomers alone is ridiculously out of character for on-the-run teens, let alone the sheer amount of pining, swooning, while in the middle of the life or death crisis.

I can't figure out how this horrible, poorly developed drivel came from a usually enjoyable author but in the acknowledgements she thanked people for helping her avoid humiliating mistakes, ignoring that the entirety of this book falls squarely in that category.
Kelley Armstrong is one of my favorite authors. I have read every one of her Otherworld books, so I was a little leery when I saw this trilogy (this is book 3) contained no supernatural elements. However great writing is just that, and I don't believe Ms. Armstrong is capable of bad writing. The characters are compelling and even though they are theoretically "bad guys" Nadia and Jack are two of my favorite characters in fiction. My only regret is that the trilogy is done, but she did wrap it up nice and neat with no loose ends. So I imagine we will not be seeing any more books about hit men with a conscience. What a shame.
