I have apparently put off reading Annette Marie for far too long. Chase the Dark was my first and it was fantastic. Set in a future time, when three words have somehow intersected, Piper, a haemon (half human, half daemon) has her heart set on being a consul, part of the human department that keeps the peace between humans and daemons, but after she makes a mistake and then lives through an explosion that takes out powerful humans and daemons in the midst of an important negotiation, she finds herself on the run along with two daemons, an incubus who is an incessant flirt and a draconian who is imposing and terrifying. Now both humans and daemons are after them. Will they be able to escape? And can she trust her life to two daemons?

This was one of the most exciting books I've read in some time. As far as I'm concerned, Annette Marie has upstaged Cassandra Clare, creating an alternate universe that is intriguing and beautiful and dangerous. I don't think I would survive an adventure there, but I'm here for a movie if that were ever to happen. So many twists and turns and an unexpected underground, and they don't even leave Earth! I'm hooked and excited for book two! ( )

3-3.5 STARS

Mildly humorous. Sweet. Obvious. Quite average.

Simply, I've read better.

It didn’t quite capture my full attention I found the plot quite obvious and there's wasn't anything that surprised me , I finished out of morbid curiosity on where it would end but as I predicted it ended exactly as I expected.

I enjoyed reading this book, while there was nothing that suprised me in the book itself, I found it to be well written and easy to stay engaged with this book. Annette did a good job at getting me to connect with the main characters, enough so that I finished the book the same day I started it.

I look forward to reading the ones to follow. ( )

This re-read is exactly what I needed. This urban fantasy is filled with fantastic worldbuilding and a fun cast of characters. I loved getting to learn all about the Underworld and Overworld daemons, haemons, the Sahar stone, and roles of the Consuls. It was all really interesting and created a full world. Ash and Lyre are a dynamic duo, who when paired with Piper's vibrant personality creates a fantastic friendgroup that is engaging and hilarious. There were twists and turns and unexpected reveals that keep you reading and this story really sets up the series well! Now, on to book 2. ( )

Started slow but became interesting quickly. I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to more books in the series. ( )
