ARC Review: Lessons After Dark [Mass Market Paperback]


I've finished "Lessons After Dark" the 2nd book in her series by Isabel Cooper.

Product Description

A woman with an unspeakable past

Olivia Brightmore didn't know what to expect when she took a position to teach at Englefiend School, an academy for "gifted" children. But it wasn't having to rescue a young girl who levitated to the ceiling. Or battling a dark mystery in the surrounding woods. And nothing could have prepared her for Dr. Gareth St. John ...

A man with exceptional talent

He knew all about her history and scrutinized her every move because of it. But there was more than suspicion lurking in those luscious green eyes. Even with all the strange occurrences at the school, the most unsettling of all is the attraction pulling Olivia and Gareth together with a force that cannot be denied.

About the Author

Isabel Cooper lives in Boston with her boyfriend and a houseplant she's kept alive for over a year now. She maintains her guise as a mild-mannered project manager working in legal publishing. She only travels through time the normal way and has never fought a demon, but she can waltz. For more visit isabelcooper.wordpress.com.

My Review:

Olivia Brightmore was hired to be the new school teacher for a group of "gifted children" but she never expected to save a levitating girl from a ceiling or to fight off the dark forces surrounding the school.  Olivia married young and lost her husband.  To survive she pretended to be a medium and as she matured she found a mentor who taught her how to use magic.

Gareth is a doctor who was injured in the war and is aware of Olivia's medium past.  He doesn't trust her so decides to keep a close eye on her.

You can see the sparks flying off both of them and they can't keep their hands off each other even though there isn't any trust between them.  When they discover a demon is living in the woods they decide to team up to stop it.

I really hated the way Gareth treated Olivia but he couldn't keep his hands off her though.  

3/5

Thanks Sourcebooks for sending me this ARC to review, greatly appreciated!
