I sat on it for a whole day trying to decide why I didn't like this as much as Burn, a true dilemma really , but I came up with two probable reasons -

A. There wasn't much of Knox here. Yes, he was there but we never really got to know him more than what we already know about him from the previous book. It was a bit like stretching out what was already there. We knew that he never had a pleasant childhood, hence the reason for his "controlling" nature. The author just added a few more sentences to his story in Blaze.

Even if we forget about Knox for a second, I noticed that a lot many things were repeated from the previous book. All the same intros about demons, lairs, primes, anchors, Isla, etc etc. I get it that when this installment was released, it was after quite some time since Burn had been published (2015 people!), but since I'm reading it all now in one go, it's getting on my nerves. Some sentences were exactly copy pasted too.

B. We got the same stuff all over again!
Don't lie to me, even you expected

Spoiler

Harper to get kidnapped again

& that's exactly what happened. I was literally waiting for it. Also what's with them always going to restaurants, always emphasizing how Harper never picks what she wants to drink, and just how much Knox likes to do it for her.

Don't get me wrong but I'm absolutely a sucker for whatever's happening in the demon world right now yet it seems like only the setting has changed while MCs are still very much stuck in the previous book.

my my Harper is the shit, and the way she called out Knox on his hello imma the savior analogy was the highlight. So I like the way their relationship is evolving, and the side characters are just

A bit repetitive in places, going back to explain certain things that have already been explained in the first book but I do love the characters.

4.5 ⭐️
this book continues a few months after the first one leaves off. I adore that about Suzanne Wright's writing, no cliffhangers. even tho the story picks up and continues with some of the conflict of the first, harper and Knox do experience an HEA at the end of the first as well as this one. they just have obstacles to get through throughout their four books that continue throughout each one as they continue to solve the puzzle

We’re back with Harper and Knox! My favorite demons!
Oh my gosh Harpers sass seriously kills me with laughter.
Despite being overwhelmed with being the most powerful demons mate and anchor - and also being a prime of the lair now, She’s dealing with a lot of catty, petty, jealous bitches that are desperate for Knox’s dick, having to uproot her tattoo studio, and now dealing with a demon who is going rogue that kidnapped her mother.
Not that she’s ever had a close relationship with her mother but she’s getting the blame for it all. And it is overwhelming.
This rogue demon blames Harper’s mother for birthing her because he thinks that Harper is going to birth a child with Knox that is going to basically destroy all of the world.
Not only that but he’s also trying to go for Knox.

Knox is trying so hard to be protective and he is protective to the extreme. He holds information back from Harper because he just want to protect her heart and her mind. He genuinely has good intentions and is such a good mate, But my god is he just yummy and all alpha. Romantic even. Harper needs him to give her more respect and allow her to make decisions and take off on her own if she wants the respect of the demon lair.

Going from a nobody to being in the eye of absolutely everyone is a huge adjustment.

Had I not seen such a raving reviews about this series, judging by the covers of this series, I would’ve skipped out on these books and I would have missed out on probably one of the best PNR series I’ve ever read..

The spice in this book is 5/5 alone. Knox has what’s called ghost fingers and can give you a insanely intense orgasms from across the room. And boy does he know how to use them.

I had to wait a little while before I could read Blaze, but it was very much worth the wait. It was even better than Burn and and Burn was amazeballs, so you know Blaze was good. In fact, it was absolutely marvelous and I positively loved it!

What can I say about Knox and Harper other than I loved them even more than I did before! They are both total bad-rhymes-with-sass bosses. They’re fierce, protective, possessive, and the bomb. I love them so much on their own and as a couple — they’re just the best.

Blaze was full of fire, passion, sweetness and love. It was beyond interesting, captivating, and exciting. It made me laugh and smile and melt — I had a wonderful time reading Blaze. I loved it as much as I loved Burn and I cannot wait to read Ashes next!

Blaze is the second book in the Dark in You series and should be read after Burn. It’s told from Knox and Harper’s POV and they’re better than ever.

Can’t put it down

So much to do but could not put this down. Perfect blend of action and humor and romance. Cannot wait to read the next one

I think I liked this book even more than I liked the first one! I’m a sucker for the demon romances, such as this one, and if I did illicit substances then I would say that I devoured this book like crack! Booktok strikes again!

I was also re-reading The House of Hades by Rick Riordan at the same time as I was reading this one, and it was a constant battle to choose which one to read first.

5/5 stars.
