The final chapter is here and in this story, the supernatural world is thrown into tailspin as a new threat emerges that threaten not just the supernatural world but also the human world as well. New alliances will be made, old alliances will be broken and the world, in all intents and purposes, will change forever in the end. For this time, a loved one finds themselves at death’s door and it is a race against the clock to find a cure. Will they be in time or will they be too late?

Author D. N. Simmon’s The Knights of the Darkness Chronicles have had me spellbound from the very first book, Desires Unleashed. With the right amount of sizzling passion, adventure, mystery and more, this is an author who delivers with each book one wild roller coaster of a ride from start to finish. In this final volume in her beloved series, we find Darien, Xavier, Natasha and all their friends find themselves racing against the clock as a new threat to not just their world but to the entire world-human and supernatural. This time the threat attacks someone close to them and they will do anything they have to in order to find a cure. Defeat is not an option. I loved how this author introduces the new main players such as the Vampire Fonts. Very powerful, the original vampires and the new threat that face them. She ties it up nicely in Darien, Xavier and their friends storyline as we find out what has happened since book five, The Lion’s Den and it is one full of action, mystery and emotional ups and downs. This is an author who knows how to let her characters shine within the pages of this addicting series. The writing is tight, story moves quickly and the new characters are quite intriguing though a few made me want to smack them into next year.

UNHOLY ALLIANCE is a fun filled ride from start to finish. I literally had to make myself put down the e-reader to go to bed or I would have been up till wee hours just seeing what happens next for our merry band of characters. I shed some tears, laughed, and sighed with pleasure as this beloved series finally ends. If you love a kick butt series with intriguing characters, some very sexy sex scenes and storylines that leave you gasping for air, then you need to get this series immediately. Though I got to admit, this is one addictive series so make sure to have tissues and ice nearby to cool you off or to stop the flow of tears. I do caution you there are scenes of threesomes, M/M, M/F and others that may not appeal to some readers but give it a chance and you may find you love it as much as I do.  I do have to mention that there are few instances where a better editor was needed but it doesn’t throw you out of the story or hurt the character development at all.

Run-Don’t Walk-to grab this entire series and fall in love with the Knights of the Darkness Chronicles. You won’t be disappointed.
