Where
darkness lives, all becomes desolate . . .
It’s been two months since sixteen-year-old Desolation Black chose Earth over Hell and her friend Miri over her eternal love, Michael.
Desi goes through the motions of life: school, training, remaining vigilant against the forces of darkness, but her dreams are full of the choices she wishes she could change. When she’s injured by a strange demon, old temptations arise, and the lines between good and evil blur. Desi discovers those choices aren’t so final after all.
And this time, the power of love—for a friend, for a lover—may not be enough to save her from the darkness that lurks within.

Review:
Ali Cross’s Desolate emotes
darkness like a demon from Hell.
Two months ago, sixteen-year-old
Desolation “Desi” Black lost Michael, her eternal love, to the depths of Hell.
Now, she must not only find a way to save him but also Heimdall, the keeper of
the Rainbow Bridge and the gates between the worlds. Yet an injury threatens to
destroy her heavenly spark, and she’ll soon learn her choice on who she is to
Become is not so black and white.
Desolate
drops the reader two months after Become.
The characters seem at a standstill, since they aren’t certain how they should
proceed forward in saving Michael. For every step forward Desi made in Become, she takes two steps back as the
call of her dark side and a poisonous injury threatens her light side. Cross
excels at the emotional toll the characters are going through. The plot is
fast-paced, although personally, I thought the last third could’ve been drawn
out a bit more. The characterizations and voice are excellent.
Desolate
by Ali Cross is the darkest of night before the dawn. I hope.
