Goodreads Summary: On the night of Skye’s seventeenth birthday, she meets two enigmatic strangers. Complete opposites—like fire and ice—Asher is dark and wild, while Devin is fair and aloof. Their sudden appearance sends Skye’s life into a tailspin. She has no idea what they want, or why they seem to follow her every move—only that their presence coincides with a flurry of strange events. Soon she begins to doubt not just the identity of the two boys, but also the truth about her own past.

In the dead of a bitingly cold Colorado winter, Skye finds herself coming to terms with the impossible secret that threatens to shatter her world. Torn between Asher, who she can’t help falling for, and Devin, who she can’t stay away from, the consequences of Skye’s choice will reach further than the three of them could ever imagine.

A Beautiful Dark was just okay for me, yet I can’t wait to read the next book!  I was really bored reading about Sky trying to figure out her powers and picking a side.  It didn’t get interesting until the end, when things actually happened.

It was a really predictable story, and I can’t say I was surprised by anything that happened.  It was a little too detailed and I didn’t care for all the minute details of Skye’s life.  And even with all those details, I didn’t really feel like I got to know her very well.  For the most part, I just wanted Davies to get to the point.

I sort of liked the two different sides and how it wasn’t clear which side was the true bad guy in the grand scheme of things.  It is a slightly different take on the good angel versus fallen angel fighting for someone’s soul…but unfortunately, it wasn’t different enough.

It gets a 2 out of 5, but I still can’t wait to read the next book.  Especially after the way things ended.
