Review: Dark Pleasures by Aja James

Title: Dark Pleasures
Author: Aja James
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Publication Date: June 15th, 2018
Buy: Amazon

NOTE:  Story is for mature readers due to sexual content.

Goodreads - Devlin Sinclair, the New England Dark Ones’ Hunter, is on a mission to track down the elusive and mysterious Medusa, perhaps the ultimate nemesis the Pure and Dark Ones have been battling in recent years.

But he can’t do it alone.

Grace Darling has isolated herself from the world since a very young age, after her parents’ death and because of her own social disability. Awkward and brilliant, a born sensualist, Grace agrees to a blind date that changes the course of Destiny.

She has the skills he needs.

Their chemistry is off the charts, but will she, can she, give him the love he craves?

My Review - Dark Pleasures is book 4 in the Dark/Pure Ones series. We start off with a bit more of Sophia's story. It seems with each book in the series we get a little more of her story, though woven throughout the main storyline. In this case, the story of Devlin and Grace.

Devlin, a Dark Ones vampire, is very computer savvy but he needs the help of someone even more skilled at hacking than himself. That's where Grace comes into play. Devlin needs Grace's help to hack into Zenn, a tech company that Grace works for and helped build the computer systems for. While Grace eventually agrees to help him, there is something she needs from him as well.

I really liked Devlin and Grace's story. Grace was a rather interesting character. She has a unique form of Autism Spectrum Disorder. In her case, she doesn't really show or express feelings. She doesn't know how to. And that makes her blunt, direct and honest to a fault. I found it rather refreshing.

Then we have Devlin! He has a past that haunts him and perhaps even hinders him at times with regards to his feeling for Grace. But I loved his character. :)

As with most of the books in this series, you not only get a main story (in this case that would be Devlin and Grace's story) but you also get more information about characters that you've been introduced to in previous books. As I mentioned already, we learn a bit more about Sophia but also there is some interesting revelations made regarding Tal, Inanna's father and Inanna's adopted son, Benji. Of course, I can't tell you what that is. ;) Just trust when I say it's some intriguing information that I'm sure will be further delved into in a subsequent book.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and the series as a whole.
