A Beautiful Dark by Jocelyn Davies

On the night of Skye’s seventeenth birthday, she meets two enigmatic strangers. Complete opposites—like fire and ice—Asher is dark and wild, while Devin is fair and aloof. Their sudden appearance sends Skye’s life into a tailspin. 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. Soon she begins to doubt not just the identity of the two boys, but also the truth about her own past.

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. 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.

A Beautiful Dark is the first book in a captivating trilogy by debut author Jocelyn Davies.


 Hey guys! Okay, I'm going to be honest. When I first started reading this book I didn't really like it and it kinda reminded me of Twilight. I mean not that Twilight is bad! It's just the beginning reminded me A LOT of it. BUT once getting more into the book I really liked it! Once you find out what Devin and Asher really are it becomes very.. interesting. Throughout the book it's really hard to decide who you can trust. I like the plot and I never got bored reading it, it's just it reminded me of a lot of books I've already read. And jezz talk about a cliffhanger!

Asher is that gorgeous bad boy every girl wants even though he's trouble. At the beginning of the book I hated Asher but he gets a lot better as the book goes on. Throughout the book it's really hard to trust him because one second he's crushing on Skye and then the next he has his tongue down Ellie's throat. Not only that but you never really know if he's using Skye to help the Rebel.

Devin is so sweet. He always follows the rules and is just a good "person". It's also hard to trust Devin because he might be using Skye too. But in the end who will she really believe? As problems start to arise is even hard for the read to trust anyone. One thing I didn't like was that at the end of the book you still don't know who is the one Skye could trust or who she'll choose! It leaves you hanging SO bad.

 I like Skye. She has a good personality and awesome friends. While this whole Devin and Asher thing is going on it stresses her out and overwhelms her and she starts to ignore her friends but not on purpose. Even though her friends have no idea what's going on, they still forgive her and are supportive.

 Overall really good plot and wasn't boring at all. I had some likes and dislikes but.. maybe you'll like it more!
