Book Review: Dark Becoming (Ema Marx #3) by JD Brown

Hello lovelies

Are you ready for another juicy bite from my latest binge read worthy series??? 

Life has been life, I am getting married in the next few days so planning and priorities have been ALL over the place! never mind work and family life with a 6 year old...   

Ms Brown just grows and evolves as an amazing author with each book! . 
If you missed my first reviews, check it out Dark Heirloom,  Dark Liason+ Athena's Oracle.

I came across this book on Instagram. It was a sponsored promotional book and the first book in the series was free. I read up a bit about the author and her two cents behind the story with the blurb and I figured why not try a new author with an intriguing main character. 
(See below for links and bio).

FYI... if you buy the book directly from her website versus on amazon or another website... it's cheaper! #yourewelcome

It's time to share the next yummy edition to this series with you!

* What it's about *

Ema Marx is in a race against time. Or rather, a race against Apollyon. A powerful weapon--the legendary philosopher's stone--could tip the scale in favor of whoever gets their fangs on it first. 

For Ema, obtaining the stone is an uphill battle through love, alliance, heartbreak, and loyalty. Winning should mean the beginning of beautiful things, but the closer Ema gets to her destiny, the more uncertain her future becomes. Could it be this war was never meant for her? And why the heck doesn't morning sickness adhere to rules of its own name?  

* My thoughts *

And Ms Brown has made her mark again! 

This is my favourite book in the series so far (Book... excluding the novella review). 

It is full of so much juiciness and amazing characters,it is hard to not share spoilers. 
Book 1 and 2 were good but here you can see JD Brown has stepped up her game. 

Here is a little word on each of the characters that stood out for me: 

Sure there were sometimes when Ema and Jesu annoyed me with their all over the place romance. I do love how Ema is growing as a character, even if I can't agree with all her decisions. Jesu is just Jesu *swoon*. I love him sooooo much! 

Bridget.. I loved her, then couldn't stand her, then felt sorry for her and finally kinda unsure in general - love makes you do weird things, but rejection can make you a little bit crazy. 

Valafar... I must say he is a bit of a favourite of mine but so is King Nikolas, but in different ways and for different reasons. 

Maria - I am not sure how to feel about Maria. I love her to pieces, but there were some comments from other characters that have made me kind of be wary. I am hoping this will be cleared up once I start book 4. 

Jalmari - sigh I kinda love to hate him and hate to love him. 

I really really can't wait to see where the story goes and how it grows!! 

Awesome job JD. Thanks for writing such an amazing story <3.

Author Links and Bio: 

Website  l  Goodreads  l  Facebook  l  Twitter  l  Instagram

J.D. Brown knows that vampires exist because she’s dating one and no, he doesn’t sparkle. Unfortunately, he’s not immortal either (or maybe her standards are too low). A magnet for subcultures and weirdness, J.D. was that socially awkward girl with more fictional friends than real ones. As a child battling a hearing loss and a medical condition with no name, J.D. found comfort in books where strong women always saved the day and got the guy. An obsession with Charmed, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Buffy the Vampire Slayer led J.D. to believe that her mutated chromosome made her something more, not something less. Thus her stubborn flare to persevere was born. A lover of fine cuisine, coffee, and shoes, J.D. never understood why shoe stores don’t serve Starbucks and soufflé. She resides in Wisconsin were she writes urban fantasy—aka vampires for adults—and has political debates with her dogs.

Happy Reading <3
