I saw this on my friends Kindle and I asked if I could read it. She was a fan of the series and suggested that even if I wasn’t familiar that I should start with this one because, according to her, it is Tarrant Smith’s ‘best work so far’. And I can happily say that I was far from being disappointed, in fact I went back and read the other books in her series right after reading this. However, I want to convey that each book can be stand-alone, so I will review this without mixing in the other books. (Although if you are a fan of the series she brings back many of the characters from her other books)

A little about the book, Ena, the protagonist, recently had a family member come into a royal position, but she and her father don’t exactly share in her family’s new success. However, the goddess of matchmaking visits her with a small proposition that changes her path.

There are two protagonists, one a male and one a female whom I already discussed. Ena has which will keep you guessing at her background until the end. Then there is Crank, who goes through a perilous journey and is rewarded with torment from a bitter burden. And Ena, the mercurial she-fey is the only one who can bring back him back to resemble his former self.

Overall, I loved this book. It was the realist fantasy that I love to read on rainy weekends. I would recommend this to anyone who has an affinity for a good story but especially to those who like to read the best sort of fantasy.

"Having read several works in the Darkly Series recently, I think I enjoyed Resurrected Darkly most of all because of the deep, dark nature of its hero, Crank. His emotional and psychological journey back to life really enhances the romantic plot of the novel, elevating its intimate scenes beyond the physical, and into the powerful capacity that such intimacy has to remind people of the gift of life itself. Author Tarrant Smith plays this romance out beautifully to convey those important messages and uplift readers in this redeeming and superbly atmospheric love story. Ena makes a great match for him, just as the gods suggested, encompassing empowerment as well as sensuality to portray a powerful female lead in charge of her own decisions. Overall, Resurrected Darkly comes very highly recommended for paranormal romance fans."
