A Hint of Darkness (Magic of the Damned, Book 2) - McKenzie Hunter

Duplicitous gods and devious monsters. Surviving in the Underworld is Hellish. 


This is the second installment of McKenzie Hunter’s new Paranormal Romance series. The story is set primarily in the Underworld. Unusually for this author, there are several descriptive scenes of a sexual nature, which really enhance this story.


I have been eagerly waiting for this book and I was not disappointed. The characters are well thought out and well developed. The interaction is believable and the worldbuilding is excellent. McKenzie Hunter has created a well developed magical system and included a variety of supernatural species; some familiar and some less so.


Our FMC, Luna finds herself trapped in the Underworld alongside the Prince and a host of other supernatural and demonic beings. They all want out and to most of them, the only way to achieve this is through her death. There are only so many places to hide in the underworld; at least she seems to have the Prince on her side. His family however, not so much. 


Magic, politics, intrigue and betrayal abound. There are duplicitous gods, monsters who aren’t necessarily what they seem, and a fight for survival.


I raced through this book. I could not put it down. There is a big shiny hook at the end and I cannot wait for book three.
