This book had me enthralled. Vaila wants revenge. She lives for it. But things aren't as she believes. This story weaves a spell of its own. Pulling you through events smoothly and eloquently. I loved it.

Finn is a Druid and one of the Knights, who right the wrongs done to the Druids. Finn is also a bleeder, that is someone who can take someone’s emotions. He meets Vaila, who lost her family twenty some years ago and has thought of nothing but vengeance. She blames Finn for the death of her family. She has arrived on Skye to finally get her revenge against him. Finn has tattoos on his legs and when The Grey gets near, he is in so much pain that he passes out at Vaila’s. When she gets near or touches Finn, the pain lessens and goes away. When they must hide in a safe house, Vaila finally realizes her mistakes and finds out why she’s really been brought to Skye.

A little bit steamy. Forced proximity. Enemies to lovers. Magic. A great story. Can’t wait to see what happens next. I voluntarily read and reviewed this for Netgalley.

The Druids of Skye continue to be plagued with threats from London, from Edinburgh, and from Skye itself. They have two of the three pillars needed to defend Skye. They're just missing the Water pillar. Edie and the Ancients appear to have Vaila on their side. But then there's her chemistry with Finn. And even though she's determined to kill Finn, she slowly begins to see that there is another side to this conflict on Skye. A fascinating read as we see how Vaila grows and changes. Can't wait to read the next (and final) novel in this series on the Skye Druids.

Thoroughly loved reading the mesmerizing and spellbinding paranormal story. Valia, a Druid, has come to Skye for one reason, to kill Finn, a Druid, but when Finn takes away some of her hatred, Valia starts to wonder if what the Ancient voice told her was true, and Fiinn wants to protect Valia. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written full of mystery and intrigue, and another riveting romance story by the phenomenal author, Donna Grant. Can't wait to read the next story in the series!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Yet another awesome book by one of my favorite authors. She can transport you to whatever world she creates. Highly recommend her books to everyone.

This was an entertaining, well-written book. It was suspenseful, steamy, fast-paced and kept me reading. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books by this author.

Love these Sky Druids, but then I love everything she writes. This is Finn and VailaS story. When available finds the one man that she has hated for years, she is set to kill him, but something changes!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you for allowing me to review

Between Twilight is yet another fun, fantastical story for the Skye Druids. As we near the end of the series new problems arise, some questions are answered, more are raised and the entire cast is back.

Finn gets his story. This enigmatic member of The Knights turns out to be a wonderfully caring man (despite a horrendous childhood) in addition to his Druid skills. Vaila has spent the last twenty years tracking Finn's every movement. She's spent all her time plotting his demise. After her family all died, she's failed to make any friends, no life goals, nothing but hate and revenge. She's had one companion of sorts. The Ancient who gives her information on Finn's whereabouts. She's always just a little too late but she's followed him closely.

Finn and Vaila are thrown together when she finally catches up with him on Skye. Vaila's plan is to get close to Finn then exact her revenge. Gaining his trust first will make her victory even sweeter so she sets about bumping into him "accidentally". Several events involving the Druids also bring the two together. Finn find himself intrigued by Vaila but very skeptical of her motives. He's also growing very protective of her. When he's in excruciating pain, she's a human balm. Her touch takes the pain.

Edie and Vaila both receive instructions from the Ancients but do not get along. Can they work together to do in the Skye Druids? The Grey is back and everyone is still trying to figure out what is really is and what it wants. The search for the last pillar, the water pillar, continues as the battle is looming closer. Everyone can feel the final showdown is near.

I won't give away all the good bits but trust me the story has all the action, suspense, and mysteries typical in the series on top of a slowly growing attraction and eventual love between Finn and Vaila. You really need to read this book. If you haven't read the entire series do it now before the next book comes out!

The end is near… Jajaja. Oh, I have been waiting so long to use those words, and now that I finally can, I have rather conflicting feelings about the whole thing. Because after nine books exploring the Skye Druids corner of Donna Grant’s magnificent Dark Universe, we have reached that point where everything seems to be converging, the pieces are falling into place, and the final battle is looming on the horizon like a particularly unwelcome guest who has nevertheless been invited to dinner.

Almost everyone has found their other half, the circle is closing, old secrets are threatening to surface, and the truth is finally preparing to step out of the shadows. All roads appear to lead to the ultimate showdown, and yet, with one final book still to come, we are not quite there. Naturally, Donna Grant would never make things that simple for us. Why give readers peace of mind when you can give them delicious anticipation instead?

For now, though, we get Finn and Vaila, and what a pleasure it is to follow their story! I shall refrain from saying anything that might spoil the surprises, because honestly, where is the fun in reading a book if someone has already robbed you of those delicious moments when everything clicks into place? Let's just say that Ms. Grant knows precisely how to keep her readers invested, emotionally involved, and perpetually hungry for the next revelation.

If you're already a Dark Universe devotee, you'll find everything that makes this series so addictive: scorching passion, intense emotions, complicated family dynamics, dangerous enemies, and enough action to ensure that sitting still is never really an option. But what I particularly love is how no story exists in isolation. These books are part of something much bigger, a sprawling, intricate tapestry in which every character, every revelation, and every seemingly insignificant detail has its place. Familiar faces keep crossing paths, old connections gain new meaning, and the overarching storyline continues to grow in ways that make the entire universe feel alive.

Now, if you're new to Donna Grant's work, I suspect Between Twilight might leave you wondering whether you accidentally walked into a family reunion where absolutely everyone knows everyone else's secrets except you. 😂 With such an extensive cast and a mythology built across numerous interconnected books, there is a lot to take in. My advice? Go back to the beginning and enjoy the ride. You have an enormous amount of wonderful reading ahead of you, and trust me, this universe has a way of getting under your skin.

And here comes the bittersweet part. I'm thrilled to have another fantastic addition to the Dark Universe, yet there's a little ache at the thought that the Skye Druids' journey is drawing to a close. After spending so much time with these characters, watching them fight, suffer, love, and find their places in a world that never makes anything easy, saying goodbye is not exactly something I'm looking forward to.

Besides, let's be honest. We may be approaching the end of this particular war, but are we absolutely certain that the end really means the end? Donna Grant has never been one to leave a mystery untouched or a reader entirely comfortable. I have questions. I have theories. I have suspicions. And I fully expect to be rewarded with answers in the final installment, preferably without having to sacrifice too much of my sanity in the process.

So here I am, caught between the excitement of what's coming and the sadness of knowing that a beloved chapter of this epic journey is nearly over. Between Twilight delivers the intensity, the emotion, and the tantalizing promise of revelations I've come to expect from this author, while setting the stage for what I sincerely hope will be an unforgettable conclusion.

Now, Donna, darling, I believe we've waited long enough. Bring on that final book. Tie up those loose ends, expose those secrets, give us the answers we deserve, and please don't think for one second that we're not going to scrutinize every last detail.

Long live the Dark Universe!
