The Sweetest Dark
by Shana Abé
“With every fiber of my being, I yearned to be normal. To glide through my days at Iverson without incident. But I’d have to face the fact that my life was about to unfold in a very, very different way than I’d ever envisioned. Normal would become forever out of reach.”
Lora Jones has always known that she’s different. On the outside, she appears to be an ordinary sixteen-year-old girl. Yet Lora’s been keeping a heartful of secrets: She hears songs that no one else can hear, dreams vividly of smoke and flight, and lives with a mysterious voice inside her that insists she’s far more than what she seems.
England, 1915. Raised in an orphanage in a rough corner of London, Lora quickly learns to hide her unique abilities and avoid attention. Then, much to her surprise, she is selected as the new charity student at Iverson, an elite boarding school on England’s southern coast. Iverson’s eerie, gothic castle is like nothing Lora has ever seen. And the two boys she meets there will open her eyes and forever change her destiny.
Jesse is the school’s groundskeeper—a beautiful boy who recognizes Lora for who and what she truly is. Armand is a darkly handsome and arrogant aristocrat who harbors a few closely guarded secrets of his own. Both hold the answers to her past. One is the key to her future. And both will aim to win her heart. As danger descends upon Iverson, Lora must harness the powers she’s only just begun to understand, or else lose everything she dearly loves.
Filled with lush atmosphere, thrilling romance, and ancient magic, The Sweetest Dark brilliantly captures a rich historical era while unfolding an enchanting love story that defies time.
Another book with a love triangle. Someone shoot me! Although these boys are not the norm I think I didn't like this book because of the triangle. It has been well over done. The plot was pretty weak So I found it somewhat slow. And its another series. Which again I'm getting tired of. So this one gets 3 stars as I think that some people will hate it and others won't. It all depends on what you are up for.
So here ya go make your own choice.

Awww shucks! I hope I'll like it better but this dampened my enthusiasm a bit coz I hate love triangles too!
Ya they think that well it worked for Twlight so it should work for me to. But what they neglect to realize is Twilight is well Twilight and now we are all done with the love triangle thing. I don't want to hear or see anymore of them. Well unless its done in a REALLY good way!
