“<p>This book kept me guessing, never knowing what to expect next. <br>It's slow paced to start, but picks up near the end. It touches on trauma and overcoming it, with a slow burn romance that feels oh so sweet. <br><br>Lyra escapes imprisonment only to be captured again immediately, but when she wakes up, everything isn't quite what it seems. She is offered her freedom, but how is the question. <br>Through training and time spent together, friendships and more are built. <br>But everything isn't black and white or clear as day, someone is betraying the rebellion, but no one seems to know who, even when it seems obvious. <br>And the ending will leave you wanting more then you would have expected. </p>”

“<p>I absolutely loved Beyond the Cobbled Road: Darkness Fall by Stacey Bureker.</p><p>After Fading Light, I was already completely invested in this world and these characters, but somehow, this book made me even more attached to them.</p><p>One of my favorite things about this book was getting to explore the relationships even more. Watching these characters grow closer, support each other, and become this little found family was honestly something I enjoyed. I love when a book makes you care not only about the main characters, but about the bonds they build with each other.</p><p>And the little journey with Riley? I absolutely loved it. Getting to spend more time with him and seeing his birth realm was such a nice addition. It gave us more of the world, more character development, and, of course, more Riley. </p><p>This book also felt a little darker than the first one, and I really enjoyed that. There was a heavier feeling throughout the story, and it made the emotional moments hit even harder. </p><p>And that ending…</p><p>I'M SORRY... WAIT ?! !! WHAT?!!! </p><p>That ending threw me to the ground.</p><p>I finished the book and just stared at my Kindle like… okay, what am I supposed to do while I wait for book 3 FOR ANSWERS ! !!</p>”

“<p>Wonderful book! Great world building and a beautiful love story. </p>”

“<p>This was received as an arc, thank you so much to Stacey for trusting me with an early copy of your book!</p><p>I absolutely loved this book, I adored Arden and Kye and loved getting back into their story and how they're going to defeat Orin.</p><p>This story was absolutely incredible, I loved that things we saw in book 1 were brought back in this book with further clarification/information we maybe didn't already know/have.</p><p>Also seeing the friendship between Kye and Saiyah and Kye and Riley grow was so so cute, I absolutely adore them all 😭😭</p><p>I am however, mad at you for that ending Stacey Bureker, we will need words 😭😭😭</p>”

“<p>I had so much fun reading this book. This is the kind of book you must read if you like your magic a brooding MMC and a good tension between the main characters. This book will pull you in. What I really liked where the side characters. They gave the story and extra dimension. And there is the Cliffhanger.... can't wait until the story continues.</p>”

“<p>This was such a good book with world building that brought everything together.. Lyra is someone special but she believes she's not and just being held due to her magic. She escapes only for Oberon to find her and keep her so she recovers and gains her magic. He brings in Keagan to help him. Oberon is growing feeling for Lyra and she is also. Keagan meanwhile has some tricks up his sleeve to bring everything crashing down.. Oberon is trying to return the kingdom to a healthier environment while his father destroys all.. Keagan's loyalty is what hangs in the balance. Lyra coming into her own hangs in the balance. Lyra's growth and trust in this book pulls you in. </p>”
