The Helm of Darkness (The Horizon Chronicles) Paperback – June 4, 2017

What a fantastic follow-up to the first book of the Horizon Chronicles series, continuing a rousing narrative filled with excitement and danger. “The Helm of Darkness” is totally awesome. Kim’s creativity and writing excel with each new volume.Surprising twists in the story conjure up renewed excitement. Rebellion, treason in Horizon… amazing how so much can transpire in just a few chapters. The exploits are quite compelling and keep you turning the pages in anticipation.In the middle of it all is brave Alexa who is truly committed to the Legion despite bending its rules by giving in to her emotions. She has performed a selfless act, but now feels betrayed, is in self denial and in a quandary.There is so much skillful imagery in the words which Kim uses to paint vivid pictures for us. Like the description of Milo who had “skin which was the color of golden sand and shimmered like crystals in the light”; and of the demon whose “….eyes were ablaze with a furious red glow…”, and that adds to the wonderment of it all.You get so involved in the story and become part of it. When Metraton does not believe Alexa and treats her with contempt, your blood boils and you feel like punching him in the face. When Lance together with John and Jim help Alexa and Milo, you breathe a sigh of relief and back them up one hundred percent.The writing just flows, the story gets more intriguing and before you know it, you arrive at the last page…. then you crave for more.Can’t wait to see what comes next. I am patiently awaiting the third book in the series.

I got first book free to read and was hooked, so far this one keeps me hooked. Good read. To all the negative ppl reviewin'. Like always just a bunch of bitter ppl wantin' to spread the hate around. Good story line, and my favs are classics from Uncle Toms Cabin to The Egg and I and almost all old Stephen King and Kootz. You keep up the good work and you have a new fan :)

¡Cada vez más enganchado de esta serie! Es una aventura emocionante donde te encuentras con grandes sorpresas...🍁📚📚📚🍁Año de publicación: 2017Autor: Kim RichardsonPaginas: 321Género: FantasíaIdioma: Inglés..Es el segundo libro en la serie "Crónicas de Horizonte" y Alexa está confundida. Al enterarse que la mitad de su alma está en poder de Hades, decide que la única manera de recuperarla es acabar con este dios pagano, pero no cuenta con lo difícil que será conseguirlo, porque deberá enfrentarse a otros dioses y demonios con grandes poderes..Por fortuna, Alexa, está acompañada por Milo, un personaje bastante importante en este capítulo, porque fuera de su faceta de seriedad y lealtad a la Legión, esconde un tenebroso secreto..La aventura se centra en descubrir los planes de Hades, impedir que siga tomando poder y truncar sus oscuros deseos. ¿Podrán lograrlo?.Este libro para mí es un poco mejor que el primero, claro que la autora le ha quitado la parte romántica, aunque sinceramente no hacía falta. Tengo la sensación de que el siguiente será aún mejor...LO POSITIVO:Me sigue gustando cómo la autora engloba la participación de los arcángeles, cada vez con mayor protagonismo, incluso un "Tenebris Angelus", también demonios como "Belphegor" e híbridos como los "Nephilim". Realmente hay una buena información sobre el tema y eso lo hace interesante..LO NEGATIVO:Aunque la trama sigue siendo interesante, se ha perdido la acción la mayor parte del libro, un poco lento el desarrollo pero recompensada para el final..Puntuación: 4,5/5 ⭐

just like the first book in the series I also couldn't stop reading this one either. I have fallen in love with Alexa. the addition of Milo was a lot of fun. He added an interesting dynamic to the story and I loved his interactions with Alexa. I am excited to read the next story in the series. I bet I wont be able to stop reading that one either.

The only problem with any of Kim Richardson's books is they get consumed too quickly. They're like Lays potato chips, you can never stop at just one. If you really want to get the best experience from the "Horizon Chronicles" series and stretch out the enjoyment of this series, read the "Soul Guardians" series first, it will pave the way to understanding the pro's and con's of being a guardian angel. (Plus, it will give the author more time to finish book #3) ;-) Enjoy

Gripping and action packed. I'm really enjoying this series. This is one of the best series I've read in awhile. I'm so glad books 1-3 are all available now. As soon as I post this review, I'm buy book 3.

It was good - kept moving

I’m hooked, need to know what happens. It’s an easy read and keeps you interested wanting to see what happens next. On to next book!
