Book Review: The Dark Glamour (a 666 Park Avenue Novel, #2)

The Dark Glamour by Gabriella Pierce

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This is the second book in the series, and I received a copy of the book from a Goodreads First-Reads Giveaway, which was so exciting! Nothing in the world could be better in my opinion than a free book!!  But, that being said, I can't read books out of order, it just drives me nuts, so i had to wait to read this one until I went to the library and got a copy of the first book and read it.

This book starts with Jane on the run, hiding in new York or all places. She and Malcom went different directions, because no one would think they would and it would be easier to hide, and secondly she just couldn't be with Malcom anymore after learning all she had.  Jane spends 3 weeks, hiding out on her own, with no contact with the few friends she made because she is worried for their safety. Finally, she checks out a lockbox that Malcom left her, and realized that he did take care of her, and limitless supply of cash, so she finds a place to live and calls us Dee.

In this second book, we don't know where Malcom is, but actually she told him before they parted to set up and email and contact her, but she never hears from him, and toward the end of the book, what she thought were spam emails from a wedding site and actually emails from Malcom, just basically letting her know where his is, in case she needs him. This time, she works with her friends, but she tries to keep them at bay as much as possible, only to find out that good friends, are the kinds that stick with you no matter what, even if it might cause someone to get hurt.

In this book we learn more of the family history of the Doren's, and the fact they they are traced from the very first witch, and which of the witches seven daughters this line runs from.

Jane sets out to get her life back by giving Lynne what she has always wanted, only to realize after she does it that she did the wrong thing, in fact her own grandmother was in on the plot to keep that from Lynne, and when she tries to make amends, it's too late Lynne has already gotten to her and her story has been told, making Jane again, enemy number one.

What this means for the next book, I have no idea, but I think now that Jane finally realizes that her friends are there through thick and thin and they don't blame her for the problems, or for the things they have had to endure, things might start getting better. Her friends have some knowledge and some history on their side that Jane really needs to know and learn before she makes another attempt and Lynne.

It was a great book, and I really enjoyed reading it. It was so not what I have been reading laely, but I enjoyed it, and can't wait for the next book to come out!!
