In the Dark (Dark Series, Dark Trilogy Book 1)

A trilogy spun from a web of secrets, deceit, and lies and wrapped in a bow of a soul-crushing, slow burn love story.

Lilly
He was my best friend for as long as I could remember. Not anymore.
It’s been over two years, and I still have no clue why Rhys stopped talking to me.
Everything was great until he left for football camp. When he returned, he pretended I didn’t exist. He was cold, leaving the room every time I’d enter.
Truths became nothing but lies I’d been told. My life was a web of secrets spun by everyone I trusted, including him.
Until the night Rhys came clean.

Rhys
After two years, fate has thrown me a bone. I stayed away, did as I was told, and continued the charade that has been tearing me apart since I was seven years old.
The choice is mine—though, I don’t really have one. I want to believe Lilly will forgive me. But once I come clean, there’s no turning back.

**AUTHOR’S NOTE
The Dark Series Trilogy is one continuous story consisting of In the Dark, Out of the Dark, and Of Light and Dark. The books need to be read in order.
This series is intended for MATURE (18+) readers. It is labeled dark due to the themes that may be considered TRIGGERS for some. Reader discretion is advised.

 

 

Out of the Dark (Dark Series, Dark Trilogy Book 2)

Lilly
My name is the only truth they didn’t take from me.
Betrayed by my family, my desperate need for answers put me back on his radar.
The one person who was never supposed to find me.
Again.
I was unprepared for the world I got thrust into—the connection we shared.
The deeper I dug, the more unstable my future became.
With Rhys as my anchor, I will fight to bring my past out of the dark.

Rhys
I thought I might lose her after she learned the truth and uncovered the lies I had told her from the first day she stepped foot in my house.
Just when we thought we could move on, be together like we promised, a new nightmare rips our lives apart.

Of Light and Dark (Dark Series, Dark Trilogy Book 3)

Lilly
I was the pawn in a game that began before I was born.
Secrets that drove a wedge between my family years ago are now the fuel that keeps me going. Decisions have become reckless. Trust is a fragile thing. Once it's broken, it's difficult to rebuild.
While Rhys and our love for each other has remained my constant, lines have blurred. The truth is not black and white, light and dark, but somewhere in between.

Rhys
Coming clean was never supposed to make Lilly a target.
But as obstacles try to drive us apart, what we’ve never questioned is that we're in this together.
Even if that means she runs, and I chase.

Because of the Dark (Dark Series, Book 4)

Wes

I lost my dream. My scholarship.

My only choice was to start over, away from everything I knew and cared about.

All because my loyalty was challenged.

I was driven by anger and resentment toward the people I had once trusted with my life.

Until I was almost run off the road.

 

Kingsley

This was not the plan. I wasn't supposed to stay.

The course of my future changed one fateful afternoon.

I ran into him: Weston Sheats—literally.

For over a year, I remained in the shadows. The need for him to notice me, just once, made me step out of the dark.

I swore I wouldn't let him get close, wouldn't get attached. I failed.

An unexpected turn of events was the wake-up call I needed. I had to come clean.

But would he accept my past?

 

**AUTHOR’S NOTE

While the romance in Because of the Dark (BOTD) is a standalone, the plot is a continuation of events that began in The Dark Series Trilogy. It is strongly recommended to read the previous books prior to reading BOTD.

Followed by the Dark (Dark Series, Book 5)

Denielle

All I ever wanted was to protect what's mine.

My family. My friends. Myself.

That was then.

No one knew how much I hid from the world until Marcus Baxter.

He uncovered my secret—and hated me for it.

I couldn't blame him.

Then, the threat changed, and I became the target.

 

Marcus

I couldn't protect the one person I swore to save.

I failed her.

Revenge was my mission, the reason to wake up.

Getting recruited by Altman Hotels saved me.

Until I ran into her: Denielle Keller.

She represented the dark that had started it all.

I avoided her for as long as I could.

Now we live under the same roof.

And my hate for her is stronger than ever.

 

**AUTHOR’S NOTE

Followed by the Dark (FBTD) is a continuation of events that began in The Dark Series Trilogy. It is strongly recommended to read the previous books prior to reading FBTD.

 My Review
5 Stars
Book 1: In the Dark by Danah Logan is the First book in The Dark Series.  This starts the story of Lilly McGuire and Rhys McGuire.  This book takes on a dark mystery that Lilly has just started to unravel.  Lilly and Rhys are 'siblings' that were close at one time but something happened a few years ago that has pulled Rhys away from her..or so she thinks.  This book does end setting us up for the next installment in this series.

Book 2:
Out of the Dark by Danah Logan is the second book in The Dark Series. This continues the story of Lilly McGuire and Rhys McGuire. This book leads us to more information about Lilly when she was taken when she was younger. In addition Rhys and Lilly relationship is no longer behind closed doors.  I can't wait for the next installment in this series.

Book 3
Of Light and Dark by Danah Logan is the Third book in The Dark Series. This continues the story of Lilly McGuire and Rhys McGuire. So you will need to read the two previous books: In the Dark and Out of the Dark to fully enjoy this one.  This book does bring us to the much waited conclusion to their story. This Trilogy kept me turning the pages for sure.

Book 4
Because of the Dark by Danah Logan is book 4 in The Dark Series. This is the story of Kingsley Monroe "King" and Wes Sheats. King is running from someone who is out to hurt her. Wes too is running from his past where he felt betrayed. This is how they end up meeting and their story takes off. Enjoyed it and will be looking for more from this author. 

Book 5 
Followed by the Dark is book 5 in The Dark Series.  This is the story of Denielle Keller and Marcus Baxter.  This is a interconnecting series so it does add to your enjoyment of this book if you have read the previous book. Denielle is Lilly's best friend who has been by her side for everything. Marcus is Lilly's bodyguard and for some reason is leery of Denielle. But this book dives into their story. Enjoyed this book and series.
