A Darkness Absolute A Rockton Novel Casey Duncan Novels Kelley Armstrong 9781250092175 Books

With the Casey Duncan and Cainsville series novels, Kelley Armstrong has jumped to my must read immediately pile. I really liked most of the Otherworld books, but they were fairly light even as they explored darker themes and so I saved them for when I wanted the equivalent of beach reading. That's not a criticism at all, just an explanation of the mood I needed to be in to read the books and stories in the Otherworld universe.

The two Casey Duncan novels represent something of a departure, while still being very much Kelley Armstrong books. There are strong relationships with matter of fact sexual connections and the friendships between women are nuanced and occasionally prickly, but the setting - a kind of sanctuary in Yukon for those who need to leave their lives for awhile - makes for a sometimes stark platform to examine crime, punishment, society, character and other meaty topics. I think the series is brilliantly done and really can't wait for the next installment.

A Darkness Absolute A Rockton Novel Casey Duncan Novels Kelley Armstrong 9781250092175 Books Reviews

Casey and Eric are living in the remote town of Rockton. They make up the law enforcement team in a town full of residents who are not who they say they are and are all hiding their pasts. This is the second in the Casey Duncan series; the first being the City of the Lost Thriller. Reading these in order will make for better continuity. Armstrong mysteries are always full of twists and turns along with fully developed characters. Challenge for Detective Casey is sorting out who is responsible for murders and disappearances when no one can be trusted. Love the bit of romance between Casey and Eric. Publisher gifted a complimentary copy via Netgalley.
What could you live through for fifteen months? Sixty-three weeks? Four hundred and forty days? When a young woman is found in a desperate position, Casey, Eric, and Anders are in for another misadvanture in Rockton, Armstrong's "Lost City." ADA is a fitting sequel, addressing all of the necessary areas Casey & Eric's budding relationship, the status of Casey's best "frenemy", the introduction and wrap-up of a new mystery for Rockton's finest to solve. Personally, I enjoyed the increase in Jacob's face-time in this second installment. The concept of the settlers vs. hostiles comes up quite a few times in ADA, and I find it as intriguing as Casey does. There is a new character introduced who seems like he'll recur, an unsettling butcher with an intriguing past.

The pacing is a little slower than the first novel, but still satisfactory. The reader gets to experience a slow burn of suspense. Similar to the first novel, the killer was not someone I suspected from the beginning, which I find to be an enjoyable feature.

I do have to say that I still see the character tropes in ADA that I mentioned in my initial review of City of the Lost. Those who are very familiar with Armstrong's work will continue to notice a pattern in the way that certain characters interact and approach their interpersonal relationships. It's not a huge detraction since the novel's case is individually interesting, but it does bring some predictability that might run weary after a while.

Overall, I'm a dedicated Armstrong fan, and I do enjoy the mysteries that she has been throwing at the Rockton characters, so I will continue with This Fallen Prey.
#BookAlert #FiveStar #Read by Kelley Armstrong @KelleyArmstrong A DARKNESS ABSOLUTE is riveting spine-tingling mystery suspense. If you like your mystery with some romance, love dark and quirky, plus real danger, then this book is a #MustRead. Full of powerful characters, lots of twist and turns and boogie men in the forest. This is a non stop, never catch your breath roller coaster ride during a tornado. This is book two of The Casey Duncan series. #Isolation #FeralHumans #Survival #LordofTheFlies Please Ms. Armstrong write faster.

Life in Rockton will never be easy for Casey and the other residence, but if they are bored it's their own fault; because mere survival in this town takes all their focus. This book takes place shortly after book one with Casey and Will hunting a resident that fled. Blizzard, survival, caving are just the first chapters. Armstrong knows how to write interesting characters that haunt my dreams and kept me up all night listening to the audiobook, which is fab. Nothing like Eric and his four letter word read by Theresa Plummer. I honestly can't wait for the next book.
Highlight of the book Jacob!
