About this audiobook
The fate of humanity hangs in the balance as Aidan faces a crushing choice: give in to the demands of the forces of Darkness in order to save his sister, Ava, or fight on the side of good and risk losing her forever. With so much at stake and so little time, Aidan rushes to finish assembling a team of Lights, other teens whose special abilities are linked to his own.
Meanwhile, Rebecca discovers that she’s more than just a normal teen and that the power awakening inside her may be stronger than she ever could have imagined. As the city plunges into chaos and Aidan doubts his plan of attack, Rebecca’s newfound gift may tip the scale in the wrong direction.
In this thrilling final installment of the Dark Cycle series, will Aidan find the help he needs to release the world from Darkness’s grip? Or will he lose everything he’s been desperately trying to save, including his soul?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Aidan faces a difficult decision. He always knew his gift (though he often thought it a curse) would be the key to defeating a demonic force. He just never expected that force would manifest in his own sister. He will need to find a way to stop her; it's just a matter of whether he can stop her and save her at the same time. He works to bring his team together, his "Lights" as he's been told they are called. And his friend Rebecca, who he was certain was not a Light, suddenly finds herself with powers all her own. With so much at stake and so many variables at play, what will Aidan decide? And will he have the power to carry out his plan of action?
The final installment of this series does not disappoint! This unique world that Rachel Marks has created managed to draw me back in as quickly as it did in the last two books. And the twists and turns that are thrown at the reader--it's quite a journey! This is an absolutely fitting third act. My only major disappointment is that the story has come to an end. I certainly look forward to more from this author.
[Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.] - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I received an early copy of the book in return for my honest review. My honest opinion: WOW.Marks holds back nothing in the final volume of her trilogy. The stakes are high from the start, with Aidan's power outed in public and demons rampaging throughout Los Angeles. Aidan desperately wants to save his sister Ava from the horrible evil that she is bringing to earth, even as he's faced with saving the lives of his beloved friends. Aidan loves many people; they are his vulnerable points, and Ava knows it.Rebecca's powers also grow as she gains confidence and contends with her serious attraction to Connor. It's so refreshing to read a series where the male and female leads are in relationships but NOT with each other. I love the twists that come into play for Rebecca--and for her father, who, it turns out, has been hiding some things.In case it's not clear from the synopsis: this book is DARK. It deals with some pretty grim and gory fight scenes and goes into psychologically dark places, too. This probably isn't a book by flashlight when the power is out! It's a fantastic, tense read, so the pages flip by fast. At the end, I was relieved that it was over and sad, too, because the series has been incredibly fun.
