This didn't mean she was closed off, however, and her interactions with her friends and Aunt made her very realistic.Īsher and Devin come into Skye's life out of nowhere, suddenly seeming to be everywhere. Despite the unusual things happening around her, and the very plausible explanations she came up with that were far from lame or convenient to ignore an obvious truth, Skye is the kind of girl who wants to not only figure things out on her own, but handle it as well. Her view of them, and being unsure exactly what to do, came through strongly and went far to develop her character. Despite suddenly finding herself the attention of both Asher and Devin's affections, she didn't just jump right into liking either one, at least at first.
Skye was the most compelling of the book, perceptive and intelligent. Great writing and witty banter round this one out to be engaging and endearing.
With an intelligent protagonist, and a mystery element at least to the first part of the book, the reader will be lured in despite the book's faults. Torn between Asher, who she can’t help falling for, and Devin, who she can’t stay away from, the consequences of Skye’s choice will reach further than the three of them could ever imagine.Ī Beautiful Dark is the first book in a captivating trilogy by debut author Jocelyn Davies.įantastic in concept, though slow in execution, A Beautiful Dark pitches a very interesting twist on angels. In the dead of a bitingly cold Colorado winter, Skye finds herself coming to terms with the impossible secret that threatens to shatter her world. Soon she begins to doubt not just the identity of the two boys, but also the truth about her own past. She has no idea what they want, or why they seem to follow her every move-only that their presence coincides with a flurry of strange events.
Their sudden appearance sends Skye’s life into a tailspin. Complete opposites-like fire and ice-Asher is dark and wild, while Devin is fair and aloof. SUMMARY: On the night of Skye’s seventeenth birthday, she meets two enigmatic strangers.
