Carved in Darkness by Maegan Beaumont

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I found this book by reading the prequel in the Grave Dangers anthology. I finished reading the prequel and fell on the floor trying to get this book. I was like; NO, don’t stop there; I need more.

So, of course, when this book was over, I did the same thing, LOL. You will, too, I promise. What a compelling story that makes you bite your nails, feel all the feels, and compels you to jump into the story with the characters.

The character development was so good that I adored Melissa and her journey, hated many men, and fell in love with others. I had mixed feelings about some of them (yes, I’m being vague; you must read to get your feelings; you can’t have mine, LOL).

I loved how the author made this story relatable. I know you’re wondering how can you say a murder mystery is relatable unless you’ve been through it; however, the scenes, the back story, and the situations are so commonplace yet well put together.

I’m looking forward to jumping into the next book to continue the storyline of this character and reading more of the anthology to see if I can find another series and author I fall in love with.
