Title: The Darkest Hour
Author: Maya Banks
Review: The only word that came to mind as I finished
this book was Wow and I have got to get the next book in the series.
Ex-Navy
Seal Ethan Kelly is dealing with the one year anniversary of his beloved wife
death. He blames himself and can't seem
to find his way out of the bottle until a package is delivered telling him his
wife Rachel is alive. Ethan enlists the help of his brothers special ops group
KGI. They find and save Rachel but that is only the beginning of a heart
retching story with enough action to keep the reader up all night long.
Maya Banks
captures reader from the beginning feeling the loss Ethan's wife -to wanting to
hold Rachel as she cried trying to figure out if she was going crazy and who
she could really trust in her life. Maya
Banks created a family everyone dreams of having with strong parents who give
up everything to help these they love and come to love. Brother's who are larger than life military
but retain their humanity and a husband and wife who struggle to find true love
once again.
The
Darkest Hour is the introduction novel to the KGI series and I can't wait to
read the next in the series. Each brother was introduced along with a cast of
other characters but never once did you feel lost in the story because it was
so well developed and written. Maya
Banks pulls at your heart strings with ever chapter Rachel is in but you root for
her and Ethan to find the love they once had.
Ethan and Rachel’s relationship felt very realistic and extremely
heartfelt that I almost felt tears spring from my eyes. I loved the brothers because they all mattered,
no one was extra for the author to fill in space- they were needed at a time
and place.
This book
packs a punch with action, romance and yes swearing but it also felt natural
for the characters and never once forced or oddly out of place.
This book
got a 4 1\2 out of 5 because of grammar errors that took me out of the story
for just a second.
I found this book at the local online library.
Thanks

It’s been one year since ex-Navy SEAL Ethan Kelly
last saw his wife Rachel alive. Overwhelmed by grief and guilt over his
failures as a husband, Ethan shuts himself off from everything and everyone.
His brothers have tried to bring Ethan into the KGI

To save her, Ethan will have to dodge bullets, cross
