Review - Dark Desires (Pure/Dark Ones #3) by Aja James

Ryu Takamura is the Dark Ones’ Assassin. He has never missed his target…until now. Until her. Ava Monroe is a talented geneticist who holds the key to the vampire race’s future…and perhaps her own as well. Their attraction is explosive from the first. She would do anything to have him. He would sacrifice all to protect her. 

But will their love triumph over seemingly impossible odds as they battle enemies new and old? Especially the demons from Ryu’s past? And deep within his heart?

MY THOUGHTS - 

It was such a delight to read! I absolutely loved Ryu and Ava as our main protagonists. We met Ryu in the second book and Ava was introduced in this one. The story kind of continues from where we left in the previous book.  It was little insta - lovey but it did not bother me here that much as I really liked both the characters and chemistry between them.

Apart from the characters and romance, I really liked the description of Japan & their culture. I am an anime lover so all the interactions and the way our author beautifully described locations and their food, it really made me excited and I was able to visualize everything in my head. Reading all this made me wish to go and explore Tokyo on my own, especially to see cherry blossoms and eat Japanese food!

There were not that many other POV's or side stories (especially Sophia's ) so that was definitely a plus, it made me more focused on the main plot.

This is definitely my favourite one so far. I cannot wait to read Devlin's book next and see how the whole story will progress!

4.5 Stars!
