Darkness of Light by Stacey Marie Brown is unlike many books I've read, the plot was interesting but certainly not original, however, the relationship between the characters and the sarcastic and humorous dialogue between the characters is what truly keeps the Readers glued to it's pages. It's a well-written, page-turner and a fantastic debut novel and I'm looking forward to reading the consecutive books in this series.

Ember is our protagonist, she's strong-willed, loving, kind and a beautiful person. Despite being the heroine she still had insecurities, she questioned her sanity at times (along with the rest of the world) and she was conflicted when making some decisions through the book. I enjoy characters like these because the story is more believable. I thoroughly enjoyed Ember's character, the relationship and interaction she had with the other characters. However, my favourite in Ember's quality was her dry humour and sarcastic dialogue.

The secondary characters were just amazing. Ember was surrounded with beautiful people in her life. She had Mark, her Step-Father, who treated her like his own. He was a standing rock in her life when they both lost Ember's Mother. He was kind and understanding. I also enjoyed Ember's two best friends, Ryan and Kennedy, they were the perfect trio. They were all outcasts in their school, but yet they all had their own individual personalities. Ryan was extremely funny and sarcastic, whilst Kennedy was the soft spoken and sweet character in their little group. They had a bond that was just amazing and I found myself wishing I was part of their little group. 

Darkness of Light's plot revolved around Ember's journey to unfolding the secrets that lied within herself. From the time she was a child she had been sent to Psychiatrists as those around her questioned her sanity. As she got older she started manifesting strange powers when she got angered and that's when Eli walks into her life. Eli is Ember's love interest, but I'm yet to make a decision on whether I actually like him or not. His your typical bad boy, but in this case he wants to kill Ember! However, as time grew and he spent more time with her, his views started to change as he starts falling in love with Ember. 

Darkness of Light is a fantastic and gripping YA paranormal read that had amazing characters and dialogue that kept you turning it's pages. The relationships between the characters and the characters themselves, along with the slow unfolding of the mystery will keep you glued to it's pages.
