Darkness Dawns by Dianne Duvall book 1 Immortal Guardians – 5*

Insomnia saved Roland Warbrook’s life. Professor Sarah Bingham lands herself in the middle of a battle due to not being able to sleep. When she is sees Roland staked to the ground she is determined to save him. Knocking out the two men waiting for him to die she gets him to her house. In his nine centuries Roland has never been tempted by anyone before. Betrayed by women in his past he is leery of his attraction but after bringing his trouble to her doorstep he has to take a leap of faith that she won’t betray him.

There are a lot of things thrown at Sarah all at once and she rolls with it. There is some insta love going on but there is at least some temperance of that so even though they love almost right away they don’t act on it. Sarah is also not a week woman. She has her world turned upside down and she rolls with it. At one point when she is being taken she stabs Bastion in the ass to stop him from taking her. It doesn’t stop him but she is willing to put up a fight no matter the odds.

One of the few issues I had with the story was the jumping between groups of characters. You have Seth and David with their plot with Ami. The other two jumps are between Bastion and his vampires and then the main story with Roland and Sarah. It does even out and it makes better sense with each book but with this one it was harder to follow.

Audio
This book is narrated by Kirsten Potter. I adore the way this woman does voices. She brings out the different characters and personalities with her tones and nuances. She carries this throughout the series giving every one of the characters their own voice and personality. She enhances the story and made me enjoy listening to the story even more then when I read it.
