Legends claim they are a pair born with souls so tarnished that they steal all the light and happiness from those who dare cross their path.
Revered as beings of myth and legend, they are the first twins born in the Realm for eons. They have become the monsters parents warn children about when they misbehave. Many of the kingdoms see them as a dangerous abomination.
Authenticity has been lost in time, leaving only the twisted and embellished tales of the impossible twin princes that had everything but desired more. After the significant loss of their mother, their only source of joy was their sister, Evie. But when she is taken under mysterious circumstances, the twins clash with their father, each other, and the rules of life itself in an attempt to save her life.
When it comes to the truth of their lives, Hex and Snip find themselves wishing the twisted stories of their past were true. For the truth is much, much worse.
Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, Google Books, Kobo and other retailers.
How did I not know about this series?
I dropped into this series with Hex and Snip's story
I am definitely going back to the beginning
This is a dark fantasy novella that tells the story of Hex and Snip, twin princes who are feared by the people of their kingdom. The twins are born in a world where twins are believed to be a bad omen.
As they grow up they begin to display signs that further drive home how different they are - nightmares, and abilities beyond the norm -
It is whispered among the halls and in the shadows that they have the ability to steal the light and happiness from those who cross their path and that someday they will destroy the world.
However, Hex and Snip are not evil. They are simply different.
And that difference is what leads to their current path.
This was a fast-paced, action-packed story with all kinds of twists and turns. Well-developed characters that I instantly loved and loathed. The twins stole my heart as did their sister.
The world-building was immersive and easily transported me into the story.
I what more from these two - Heck I want more from this whole cast
How are they going to undo what they have done?
Where is everyone?
Why are they all in the room?
I know I am going to get many of my answers from previous books or from ones to come still - doesn't mean I am not going to ask
Honorable Darkness is a well-written and enjoyable novella that I would recommend to fans of fantasy and adventure. It is a quick and easy read that will keep you entertained from beginning to end
A note here - I received this as an ARC however I read it via Kobo Plus

C.R. has dedicated herself to creating that same opportunity to anyone who wants to escape the boring reality of real life. Through the years, she has traveled to dozens of different states and countries, has lived in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and now Florida! While they all have their own unique treasures, she admits to favoring the sunny southern states over the chilly northern ones, though there is nothing like curling up with a wonderful book by the fire as the snow falls outside the window.
