A Beautiful Dark

Author: Jocelyn Davies
Series: A Beautiful Dark, Book 1
Rate (On a scale of 1-10): 9! I loved it!

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.


I loved this book! It has a beautiful cover, an awesome main character, and one dark and dangerous guy with his opposite cousin who's undeniably dreamy. Personally I'm Team Asher, you know the dark and dangerous one. But he has a sweet side! I'm so typical.

This is Jocelyn's first book, and I think she did amazing. I love her writing and I was thinking about it long after I was done. I even gave it to my friend as a birthday present and she loved it too, so it's not just me!

Skye's so sweet. She skies, and studies hard to get into Columbia which is her dream university. She has two best friends and cares about them both so much. You can relate to her (which is important to me in a book) because she has goals and hobbies just like every other teenager. I hope.

The book takes places in Colorado! I love Colorado! Plus I really  wanted to go skiing after I read this book. I still do and it's been a while since I read it. It's in a small town, well, not a really small town like mine but big enough to have a cafe. If that tells you anything.

Asher! And Devon! I like them both, it's true. But, I do like Asher more. Imagine that. Me liking the more sarcastic and dangerous one. How unpredictable of me. It's just my type.  He's so sweet and he really care about Skye. He's also funny. I like funny. ;)

I really liked the book. 4 1/2 stars! ♥
