Skye is your typical seventeen year old. She is a star athlete, she is a good student, and she has close friends who will do anything to make her seventeenth birthday special. What they didn't expect was for the boiler to explode and everyone to have to leave early. That is when Skye first meets Asher & Devin.
Asher and Devin, "cousins" from Denver are new to Skye's school and they seem to be everywhere that she goes. What she eventually learns is that they are her "guardians" so to speak. They are each representatives for "The Order" and "The Rebels". Because her parents belonged to the respective groups, both groups are interested in what powers their offspring, Skye, may have. The battle between good and evil heat up and Sky is caught in the middle. She is looking for answers, but most of all she is looking for happiness and peace of mind. Will she find what she is looking for with Asher or with Devin?
A Beautiful Dark will be LOVED by teen girls. Skye is a great character and both Asher and Devin have "swoon worthy" qualities. The "Good vs Evil" tale is one as old as time, but with the right characters the story never gets old. Jocelyn Davies has done a good job with her debut novel. Teen girls everywhere will devour it and come back for more!
