A Radiant Sky (A Beautiful Dark, #3)A Beautiful Dark (A Beautiful Dark, #1)A Fractured Light (A Beautiful Dark, #2)

A Beautiful Dark

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 Fractured Light
When she wakes up in unfamiliar surroundings, Skye knows something terrible has happened to her. It's not until she hears Asher, the dark, rebellious angel she fell in love with, that the memories come flooding back. She tries to put the past behind her, but she knows she'll be forever haunted by the ruthless betrayal that almost took her life.                                                                                                        Skye returns home, but with the knowledge of who she really is, nothing can ever be the same. As she tests the limits of her newfound powers, Skye discovers that she's capable of far more than anyone could have imagined. Both the Order and the Rebellion want her for their side as war between the factions looms. She can't forget the terrifying truth she now knows about the Order, but something holds her back from embracing the Rebellion.             A Radiant Sky                                                                     

Since the night of her seventeenth birthday, Skye has been torn between two opposites: Light and Dark, the Order and the Rebellion, Devin and Asher.  But her decision shocked both sides—because she chose neither. With the help of her friends, Skye forges her own path, setting out to gather an uprising of Rogues. The treacherous and elusive half-angels may be the key to maintaining the balance of fate and free will. But completing the mission her parents left unfinished is more difficult—and dangerous—than she could have imagined. And doing so comes at a cost: Her greatest love may now be a lethal enemy. Because it’s not just the Order that sees her as a threat who must be eliminated. The Rebellion does, too. And both sides will do whatever it takes to win. Dark days lie ahead, and if Skye is to survive, she’ll need to rely on her extraordinary powers and the strength of her will. Because she has a future—and a love—that’s worth fighting for.  The sweeping, darkly romantic story that began with A Beautiful Dark and gathered intensity in A Fractured Light comes to a thrilling conclusion in A Radiant Sky.

A Beautiful Dark:
This book had been sitting on my shelf for sometime.  I had found it used and just never got around to reading it.  So when I was sent an ARC of book three I was so happy that I would be able to delve into this wonderful series.  This book was really great and ended on a HUGE cliffhanger.  Which made me very glad that I had books two and three so I could read them one after the other.  I feel so bad for those who read this and then had to wait.  (It would have been Murder!!)  A Beautiful Dark gives a new spin on Angels as well as adding a lot of paranormal elements to the story.  From magic to wings its a really great plot and story about a girl who is just trying to live the life she has always wanted.


A Fractured Light:
This one picks up right where book one leaves off.  I do think that they should have done what they did to someone else.  Since of course there are three books there is no way that our main girl Skye could die.  So that cliff hanger wasn't so bad once you think about it.  Now if they would have stabbed Asher that would have been the cliff hanger from H***!!!  So in book two we find out more about Skye's past as well as some VERY yummy info about someone close to her!!


A Radiant Sky:
Ok so here is the last book.  It all gets tied up in this one!  In this one Skye finds her true self. And she learns that she can have it all.  She learns that Love is the ultimate sacrifice and that sometimes there is a third option to choose.  That not everything is black and white.  This was a great conclusion to this thrilling trilogy.

Series as a Whole:
I have read a ton of angel books over the years.  And kind of swore off of them for a while.  I have come back to some of these like this one and the Unearthly Series etc.  Finding some along the way that I was just so glad that I read them.  This one was great but it wasn't one that I would toss into friends faces and be all YOU HAVE TO READ THIS NOW!!! and sit there and stare at them until the finish!  lol.  But if you love angels and the fight for free will with a hint of magic then pick these up.  You won't be disappointed.

The covers for this trilogy are amazing and they all sound like great reads. I had seen A Beautiful Dark while browsing my NOOK store but never got around to getting it. Perhaps it is better this way because now I won't have to wait for the second or third ones.

Awesome Giveaway! I just love the covers! I can't wait to read the other ones, I haven't had the chance to read them yet!

Love the covers but I have to say the first is my favorite.

Gimmie, Gimmie! I loved this series. It was really terrific. Usually when the last book comes out people are really disappointed in it. I thought A Radiant Sky ended just wonderfully.
