I will start by saying I love this series! I’ve loved of this sequel, but not understanding why so much energy has been wasted to tell Quinn and Grace’s story again, only with different characters. I feel the original characters story has not been completed and now we’re starting over with the exact same story line as book 1 in book 12. It’s a great read and I enjoyed revisiting this series. But will say I was disappointed to read the same plot.

**Presented with an ARC by the author via BookFunnel in exchange for an honest review.** After reading this book, one that is part of a larger series but can stand on its own, I am desperate to read the others that came before and any that may come after. The emotion Stephanie evokes in every word brings the characters to life in such sharp relief, that you forget you’re reading a book. I never wanted to put this book down, even though from the moment I started reading there seemed to be some kind of cosmic keep-away game going on. It’s the little things, the tiny details, that add so much more to this book than dialogue ever could. The micro expressions, the details of Madison’s environment, the glances from strangers that can make or break Madison’s mood. The emotional upheaval caused by all that comes with and from being Illusionists, the Calydon warriors from atheism Order of the Blade that chase Madison and her sister, Ashley. I have read Stephanie Rowe’s romances before, but this urban fantasy is right on par with Brittni Chenelle, A.D. Winter, Mary Fan, and Megan Blackwood. Fans of Stephanie Rowe’s other work will recognize her depth of emotion and attention to detail that brings this story to life in a way that is just breathtaking. I cannot recommend this book enough!

Wow!! This book is amazing. I love it so much!! I lived the characters. The romance between Ajax and Madison is for inner and so awesome. I could not put the book down until I was done with the last word! Rowe has done it again. What a masterpiece!

I’m so glad to read another book in this series it’s been awhile. The characters are well written and developed and the storyline is filled with everything I have come to love about this series. I received a copy and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

It was so much fun to see this story from another side! I’ve loved the Order of the Blade series for a long time, so I was excited for even another small taste of these epic heroes. This was so much more than I expected! I can’t wait for more!

I first found Stephanie Rowe through her Order of the Blade books. Its been a while since I’ve read a book from this series, but I’m SO glad I came back to it with Darkness Awakened Reimagined. It reminded me of what I loved about the series and I’ll be going back for a re-read while I eagerly anticipate the next book. Fast-paced, with heat and action - I couldn’t put it down and stayed up all night to finish it. Well done, Stephanie! I can’t wait for the next one!

I’d like to start with how much of a fan I am to this series. With this being said, I found it hard to get into this book at first. I kept trying to compare it to the original version. Characters were different but the story was pretty much the same. After telling myself a few times to think of this story as something completely different I was able to get into it. I would recommend this book, only suggestion is for you not to compare this and the first book.

No spoilers of any kind included. Darkness Awakened: Reimagined was totally amazing! But then again every book that Stephanie Rowe creates is fantastic! I absolutely love the way she weaves her stories! So it’s most definitely going to be a yes I do recommend this book because I loved it and I think you will too! *An ARC was provided by the author, publisher or a promotional service and I have chosen to publish a fair and honest review*
