Darkness Clashes Book 4 Sensor Series eBook Susan Illene

This is a really great series and so is this book.

The heroine, Melena, is ex-military (as is Susan Illene) and very self reliant. However, she is not stupid and asks for help when she needs it. In this paranormal world of people with super strength and various powers, Melena only has defensive ones and she is very aware of it.

Susan Illene manages to pull off a 2,500 year old alpha male hero, Lucas, who is very powerful, well known and influential, controlling, secretive, solitary, and pretty much in a bad mood most of the time without hitting any of my triggers. By this book we know more about his motivations than Melena does and while that doesn't make his actions necessarily okay, it does make them comprehensible. Since Melena and Lucas became a couple and their angel-mandated connection ended, Lucas has never been less than absolutely committed to her or respectful of her abilities. I am much, much pickier about alpha males than most readers and have stopped reading books by a few huge PNR authors because their heroes make me too uncomfortable, but Lucas is one of my absolute favorite heroes of all time.

The plot is interesting and moves quickly. A lot happens in this book and while there is a resolution at the end, Darkness Clashes is very much part of a series and there is more of this story to come. Characters in these books change irrevocably and not always for the best, which makes the story amazing and surprising. The Sensor series is very different from others I've read because the characters are so complex and their motivations are often conflicting and take some thinking about to fully understand. This is a brutal world with many power struggles and preserving a reputation for strength (of all kinds) is critical. There is a scene in which Lucas has to watch Melena fight. You know he loves her and neither can appear to be weak, but it was tough to read. I am looking forward to the next book and will read it as soon as it comes out.

Darkness Clashes Book 4 Sensor Series eBook Susan Illene Reviews

This book was pretty solid. It continued the overall story more than anything. There is some action early but mostly the book is about big picture manipulations. Which both helps and hurts the story. The author paints a large scale event. Moving pieces around to give you an idea of what might happen. What bothered me a little was that there was so much of that. Felt like most of the book. Other little things bugged me. Like the rogue sensor cult. They are like militant James bond super people. It's annoying because I just can't believe it. like there is a scene with explosives. Yet none of the supernatural smelled the numerous bombs that were around. It's like the author is making the supernatural stupid to enhance the rogue sensors.
Book Four in the Sensor Series feels like a middle book. Illene is a wonderful writer and I like the character of Melena very much, but little momentous happens in this book. Melena is keeping secrets from her soulmate and the deaths of two minor but meaningful characters serves only to change the chess pieces on some unseen board resulting in losses to Melena's team but no illumination on the overall storyline. In both cases I felt that the author was tired of the characters rather than their deaths serving a purpose or furthering the plot. This is a good series, but I would have preferred something beyond the vague promise of 'winter is coming' lol. We know that a war is brewing and that both sides have secrets, we know that more and more of the supernatural world is fracturing, but beyond that our understanding of the main characters, their motivations and goals are even more obscured after completing this book, than they were before reading this latest installment. At this point, I don't even know what Melena wants. I want to read Book Five if only to find out why Book Four was so underwhelming and see where the story is headed. Susan Illene is a good writer and the world has promise, but the next book needs to pull all that wonderful joy back into the story again.
Disappointment, is the only way to describe how I felt after reading this book,after reading it I realized things and had my eyes opened just like Melina did during this installment.... Melina never puts in these terms but once again she's someone's puppet and pawn,she's playing her part while others pull her strings leading her here and there telling her what to do while they usually know a fuller picture she doesn't ( her time in the army) .... Only this time the ppl ( sups) with the Machiavellian machinations, whose daily mantra is how the ends justify the means and not caring nag who gets hurt as long their tools ( ppl like Melina) stay " safe". Any and all collateral damage is ok, as long as NOTHING inhibits their plan.... The nerou ( the children of sensors and Angel mixes) who taken and then stashed in purgatory for slave labor is wrong. I agree but lying,cheating,using and abusing others ,trusts,lives etc. w/that whole "the end justifies the means" mentality is right up w/ me , and equally asinine BS phrase " being cruel to be kind" ... BS!!!
Sometimes,sometimes those lame tired ass phrases might be true but when it's describes all the havoc and destruction these sups in hiding the background are willing to do... No one here has been Melina's " friend" almost a n the entire series w/out some master plan or manipulating the heck out of her, and the few " good" ppl I like have been ruthlessly killed off because we're either careless collateral damage or ppl who they needed to maneuver out of their way... Everyone has been revealed just about as either a user or as the used in a plot that might sound "noble" on the outside but when you truly stop caring how you achieve your goals,who hurt or what you have do to get there,what the difference between these creatures and the terrorists Melina she used try and fight ? Personally ? I don't know .. You might think that's too strong but I became disillusioned w/this series when I realized this series is just one long story arc w/out h being used as a pawn almost the entire time,( I mean no one I think could guessed she'd end in Alaska because of her stupid friend or how things w/change between her and Lucas ) but she's been used and or manipulated almost from day one by one person or another and while rescuing a race from being slaves could be "noble" their machiavellian ways are not,disappointed that everyone I'd tried to like was either a part of the scheme,letting themselves be manipulated into the scheme because of their own selfish ambitions ( like Derrick) or allowed to be killed off in selfish collateral damage ( Charlie and Felisha) .. Oddly enough the only one not using Melina in the crazy warped scheme is Lucas and he's being and his trust abused 1st mainly by his twin and sadly by Melina because allowed herself to be duped ;( and saddened because as much I "did" enjoy the enthralling story I liked the romance between Lucas and Melina it's never really get the chance I Know both Melina and I would love because the slow thaw the writer has Lucas emotions/trust etc. ( like trying thaw a 8x8 ft. Block of ice w/ blow dryer and maybe a magnifying lens) can't be down in just two more books... Is this was a shorter plot or a longer series where ( shorter plot) we would be privileged to see it worked out and then see things made " right" on the other side maybe but no after this long twisted machiavellian plot where the quote " good guys" use and and manipulate others in ways that show not matter noble they think they are, their honestly NO better that the ppl Melina and the writer herself once tried to stop... They to believed in their cause ,and believed it just and used it to justify any hurt or cruelty they perpetrated.... For me no different for the behind the scenes cowardly bastards here... Came see Nik as weak and pathetic ,letting pride be his downfall but Derrick really earned my disgust ,he's a "man" who's allowed himself to be used and abused by others in this usually sick or sadistic plots never really helping because it might get in the way of his revenge!! WTH , ok what was done to him was horrible but living ONLY for revenge for over 200 years and closing your eyes to things as bad as or worse than what was done to you just to achieve it? Aaaaaaaa no! When he attacked Emily and Logan and allowed kids to attack kids in his plot,he lost what little like or respect he had from me... Finding out what he like Nik to to him didn't help... Speaking of,while Vamp.s are WELL known sexual creatures and Nik was a Manwhore each writer sets the rules in his or her own world/s and adding that and the scene in the restaurant/club in N.O. seemed like some weak attempt to add an "erotic" touch or something that ok, while I didn't care for it at all,also felt out of place in a book that had never really been all that sexual except for the few scattered scenes here and there between Lucas and Melina ,so honestly weird.
This is a really great series and so is this book.
