When Darkness Ends (Moments In Boston, #3)

After reading ‘When We Met’ a little while ago, I knew I wanted to read more books by Marni Mann. I just loved everything about that book. And it made me cry, which isn’t easy to achieve. So when I saw the sign up for ‘When Darkness Ends’ I signed up immediately. And when I received the ARC, I was over the moon excited to start reading.

An all new angsty, dark, stand-alone Contemporary Romance in the Moments in Boston Series ... You never forget your first love … even when he becomes a memory. There was before. When we were together, when we were happy. When we had nothing but dreams. When not a single bad thing could ever happen because we were young and in love. And there was after. When the unthinkable occurs, how do you count time, knowing how precious it is? When dreams turn to nightmares, how do you wake up every day and choose to go on? When you have a chance to save another, how can you not? Even if it changes everything. Even if it destroys you. A harrowing, heartbreaking dark contemporary romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann, the third installment in the Moments in Boston series of stand-alones that explores the darkest nights and brightest dawns of the heart. A book that will leave you aching … and looking over your shoulder.

In ‘When Darkness Ends’ we read the story of Pearl and Ashe who met in college. Pearl and Ashe had totally different lives growing up. But when they met, there was an instant attraction between them and as a reader you could feel their chemistry flying of the pages. Pearl has a hard life. She works long hours, she goes to class, she takes care of her grandmother and she studies. She rarely has a break and has to much responsibility to get involved with someone. But Ashe is determined to make her his. But than something happens..

From the moment I started reading this book I was hooked. The two main characters Pearl and Ashe where very easy to like and I enjoyed getting to know them. They where both so different, but also so perfect for each other. Their romance was just so beautiful and reading this book you get to experience all kinds of emotions while learning their story. Their where also two side characters I really loved getting to know. Pearl’s grandmother Esther, and Ashe’s best friend Dylan. I loved those two.

Sexy moments, funny moments, romantic moments, horrific moments. This book had it all. We read this book through the eyes of three different people, which makes it really intense and exciting. There are also alternating time frames. And although that might sound confusing, it really wasn’t and it kept me guessing right till the end. Marni Mann really has a way of writing I haven’t read before and it really amazes me.

‘When Darkness Ends’ seriously just blew my mind. It’s unusual for me to read a book that is so good, but also so intense that I just didn’t want to continue reading.. But also just couldn’t stop. At one moment I seriously had to tell myself to breath before I continued. I mean wow! Marni Mann did an outstanding job with this read and I can’t wait to read more books by her.
