A review by brittaniethekid
Dark Horse by Kelley York
5.0
This takes place mostly concurrently with the first book, only from Daniel's POV, the leader of Henry Glass' small grave robbing operation but also a sufferer of epilepsy set on from a head injury at work a few years previously. Since it's the same timeline, it was good to get more information about the characters from a different POV. Both Daniel and Theseus are interesting characters and their relationship is sweet. If you were disappointed with the lack of romantic action in the first book, this one more than makes up for it - both our MCs are a lot less shy about what they want without all the hangups Henry had that slowed down the first book. I admit that I enjoyed the pacing of this book better though it still suffers from the common romance trope of lack of communication between characters.
I have an idea that, if the series continues, the next book will be from the POV of Lucas' sex worker friend Jasper and Jasper's friend, Ian, that both helped Daniel dig up the final grave during both books - though we see a lot more of the events here since Daniel was there. However, I hope that York doesn't keep up the trend of it taking place during the same few weeks only from the next character's POV. I'd like to see how our two couple are getting on.
