Crave the Darkness - Amanda Bonilla Crave the Darkness picks up where [b:Blood Before Sunrise|12620445|Blood Before Sunrise (Shaede Assassin, #2)|Amanda Bonilla|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1326137471s/12620445.jpg|17649907] left off. Darian is depressed ~ as she should be. Her actions cost her. I realized that the blame for our separation rested solely on me. I ran - and spent four months away - from the one person in this world I should have sprinted toward. I shunned his protection, disregarded his strength, and stomped all over the love he offered ... all in the name of arrogance. While she works to salvage her relationship and bond with Tyler, she realizes her actions were selfish. She struggles with wanting to help others while keeping everyone safe. So, she tends to take unnecessary risks alone instead of depending on help from those who care for and support her.In Crave the Darkness, Darian is charged with protecting Anya, a fellow Shaede and her least favorite person. Anya, pregnant with the first Shaede child in centuries, is being threatened by someone from her past. Darian takes her job seriously and she's vowed to keep Anya and her baby safe. To better protect her Xander, the Shaede King who claims to be in love with Darian, convinces her to move into his house. A change of scenery is definitely in order and may help pull her out of her depression, but in such close proximity it's becoming harder to reject Xander's advances.Following Darian's actions in [b:Blood Before Sunrise|12620445|Blood Before Sunrise (Shaede Assassin, #2)|Amanda Bonilla|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1326137471s/12620445.jpg|17649907] I was frustrated and unsure if I would continue the series. While Darian remains one of the most frustrating heroines I've read, she's also one of the most unique. I thoroughly enjoy the world Amanda has created and look forward to returning to it again and again.
