Dark Light by S.L. JenningsMy rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
4.5 Magical & Mysterious Stars!!!
"It's easy to take something as conventional as your humanity for granted when it isn't threatened. And being that I had no idea what life would be like without mine, I lived it up like there was no tomorrow. Now I have an eternity of tomorrows..."
This book put a spell on me! The complexity of this mythical world is spellbinding. I'm drawn in and desperate to find answers!
There's a war brewing between the Light and the Dark. Two forces, good and evil, natural enemies, and Gabriella is both of them...Light and Dark. She's a hybrid, no one else like her. And both sides fear the unknown, what she'll become, who she'll side with, and how powerful she'll become.
Gabriella just turned twenty. After living a normal life, always blending in, never being anything more than average, she find out that her world is about to change and that she's about to become anything BUT ordinary.

Meet Dorian Skotos, he's sexy and mysterious...and Gabriella can't get enough of him. Hell, I can't get enough of him! He's sex on a stick!

"I want to take my time with you. Torture you slowly. I'm going to savor every second of your undoing." *Melting*
Their physical relationship becomes explosive. He is intense, potent, possibly dangerous, and irresistibly magnetic. But it scares her more, how much she craves him.
"I'm not what I am. I'm not Light. I'm not Dark. I'm HIS."
Setting aside their lust, she's trying hard NOT to fall in love with him. There's an unnatural force pulling them together but it's not just her, because he feels it too.
"No one has ever moved me like you. Ever. The feeling you give me is insane. It's unnatural. You intoxicate me."
Meanwhile her life is quickly changing. She's loosing the relationship of her best friend, Jared, who's heartbroken that she's with Dorian. She's fighting off Aurora, Dorian's ex fling. She finds out a family secret about Morgan, her other best friend, that not even Morgan knows about. Her (adoptive) parents, who've been protecting her, warn her about what's to come, what will happen when she turns 21. She'll gain her powers and then will no longer be hidden from the Light and Dark. She's been invisible to them so far, thanks to her birth parent's dying request, but that won't last much longer.
This book is more of an introduction into the story and characters. There's not much of a climax and ends abruptly on a cliffhanger, which you all know that I hate, but luckily I can start the next book! I'm too curious to stop now...What side will she choose? Who will find her first, Light or Dark? Will someone she loves turn on her? Will she be strong enough to defeat the ones who are after her? SOO MANY QUESTIONS!
