After falling completely in love with Her Guard, I knew I had read Dark Aria! I was completely enchanted by the novella and by Sloan's writing!
Dark Aria not only builds on the foundation of the novella but also expands the intricate world and its characters. To fully appreciate the richness of the story, I highly recommend starting with the first book, there are some clues for the series in the novella!!
From the very first page, Dark Aria sweeps you into a whirlwind of emotions. Sloan expertly captures joy, sorrow, frustration, and exhilaration, making every twist and turn feel deeply personal. The tantalizing blend of forbidden love, steamy encounters, and powerful themes of honor and loyalty. The character development is a standout feature, with each individual given a richly detailed backstory that makes them feel authentic and relatable. Not to mention how masterfully the author built the relationships between characters. There are so many loveable characters in this, I'm going to be sad when it's over!!
Havi has been sheltered all her life, she's a talented opera singer, billionaire heiress, and cherished daughter, and her world feels secure. But everything changes when her father dies suddenly, and Havi becomes convinced it wasn’t an accident. Determined to uncover the truth, she hires private investigator Renwick Prince to track down suspects. What she doesn’t expect is how his arrival will turn her world upside down—or how mysterious, swoon-worthy, and utterly tempting her new employee would be.
I love Sloan’s descriptive writing, it really paints a vivid picture, drawing the reader into a universe that feels so magical. I loved seeing Havi grow as a character and I can't wait to see as she ventures into uncharted territory in the next book!
