4 1/2 Noms! “Brightest Kind of Darkness is definitely the kind of book that you want to curl up in bed with on a stormy winter night… or any night really. It doesn’t really matter, because either way, you’ll step away with a great feeling of: heart-warming fuzziness and an intriguing shock worthy end that you wont see coming…” Click here to read the entire review at Nomalicious Reads

5 Clouds! “…Ethan and Nara’s blossoming romance was fantastic and it was easy to feel the angst they were feeling when they felt the odds were stacked against them. We do love a good romance in a story and we weren’t let down…” Click here to read the entire review on Books to the Sky

5 Stars! “Brightest Kind of Darkness is one of the most fantastic thrill rides. A Paranormal Fantasy with suspense and mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat. Every time I thought I had figured out Ethan’s dark mystery, of who and what he is, P.T. Michelle threw me another awesome curve. Michelle definitely has a gift with pen and paper. When a storyline and characters can hold me and keep me reading all night, that author has given me the gift I’m looking for—romance in a story, and being able to escape into the fantasy world. Thank you, P.T. Michelle, for giving me that love and fantasy in Nara and Ethan’s story…”  Click here to read the rest of the review on I Heart YA Books

“Overall this was such a joy to read, it was dark, mysterious, romantic, and most important it made you think. With each turn of the page I was surprised and really taken with this story. The ending left me hanging a little but I’m happy that the mystery is just starting to unfold. I highly recommend The Brightest Kind of Darkness…” Kristen, Seeing Night Reviews (click HERE to read the full review)

 

New review and a teaser!

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share an awesome review I just received for BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS by Becky at Stories & Sweeties. Here’s a bit of what she had to say about Ethan and Nara’s story!

5 Cupcakes! “A funny little thing happened with this book that rarely happens to me: I bought this after seeing a good review of it on another blog (typical me, can’t remember where exactly) and was furthermore drawn in by that breathtaking cover. Downloaded it, opened it up quickly to read the first few pages, you know, just to get a taste of the story and the voice. Well, after those first pages, I couldn’t put it down. It went with me everywhere, got opened up in grocery store lines, at the pharmacy, even snuck in a few pages on the desk at work (shhhhh!). I was engulfed in Inara’s story from start to finish…” CLICK HERE to read Becky’s in-depth review of BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS!
