 The Darkest Hour was one hell of a ride! Personally, I consider it to be the best book of the six in this series. Tigerstar (formerly known as Tigerclaw) is up to his tricks once more, and it's fascinating to see how everything unfolds. I could not put these books down—each chapter leaves you eager for more.

Erin Hunter has a way of balancing the beauty of nature and the animal kingdom in such a compelling way that it draws you in, making it perfect for readers of all ages. Whether you're young or old, if you have a love for animals and nature, this series will captivate you.

The writing, storylines, and characters are excellent. You'll fall in love with Rusty (a.k.a Firepaw, Fireheart, and Firestar), Graystripe, and the rest of the clan. The Darkest Hour will leave you wanting more long after you’ve finished it. Bravo to Erin Hunter!
