Tasting Darkness

Read Taming Darkness By Jessica Hall Book 3 Chapter 30 – What in the hell was going on? Was this her dream? How had I managed to get sucked into it, and why didn’t it just dump me at her feet from the start? Why force me to go through the mist to get to my prize?

There had to be something more.

Hope, happiness, and peace slammed into me, one emotion after the other until I was a trembling mess. I rubbed my eyes again, staring one last time – it was still there.
