Book Review: The Dark Calling (The Arcana Chronicles #5) by Kresley Cole
The Dark Calling Kresley Cole PDF
I need DEATHSHIP!!
There Can Never. Be. Enough. Aric. (And more bookcase scenes would be nice *wink wink*).
Ok, KC. I can see what you’re plotting on. And I don’t like it.
Please just don’t go there.
For the love of God, just let the poor, sweet, sexy man have his HEA! Hasn’t he suffered enough??
I’m ready for you, Dark Calling. Don’t let me down.

Reverse perverse, ya’ll!
Well, wasn’t this a heart-wrenching, controversial, and frustrating little number? KC still brought it though, I’ll give her that. She is an evil genius, that one.
What’s important this time around: character building. We continue to peel back the layers, and our favorite tragic hero, our scrumptious little villain Death, isn’t left unscathed. Actually, he’s treated like shit throughout the entire book. But I have to tell myself (after several glasses of wine) that this is crucial for the grand finale. I have faith that it is necessary growth for his ultimate HEA!
Aric is just written so damn well. KC amazes me with each new installment.
And Evie…well, she’s a bitter pill to swallow this time around. In the immortal words of Patrick Joules, she’s “boffing” everyone. Yup, she loves boffing Aric, but will always run to Jack for some good boffing any time he’s around. Her flip-flopping is getting old. And they adore her no matter what. They will sacrifice everything for her. Does this girl have a sparkly cupcake-flavored v-jay or something?? It’s just frustrating that she holds both men to completely different standards. Jack can do no wrong, and Aric is always the villain.
KC, please don’t turn this into some polyamorous, ménage situation. Where all three get cozy in the castle, raise Tee together, and then Evie alternates boffing one of her boy toys each night.
Also, no matter who Evie-of-the-Magical-Vagina ends up with (and by that, I mean it better be Aric) it shouldn’t be by default (i.e., because one dies or leaves because they think that’s better for her). Let it be for the right reasons, non?
