Today I'm goign to tell you my thoughts on Darkest Day (The 19th Year #3) by Emi Gayle. I'm very excited to have been able to read a copy of this awesome book very early! It doesn't have a cover yet, but you can see that it will be awesome just by looking at the first two:
The Cover Contessa's Review:
I want to thank the author, Emi Gayle, for sending me a copy of this book to read and give an honest review. For trusting that I would tell her exactly what I thought of this book. I was super excited when it was offered to me, there was no way I was turning it down. And I'm SO glad that I didn't because I was not disappointed in the least!
Blurb from Goodreads: To be revealed June 17th! Check it out atwww.thecovercontessa.com on that day! Wait until you see it!
If you haven't read the first and second books in this series, I cannot say that this review will not contain spoilers from them. I can say that I will not reveal any spoilers from this book, though. So, if you are willing to read on, and haven't started this series, do so at your own risk!
Mac, well, she remains Mac: smart, feisty, hot headed, hard headed and, despite her annoyance at being so because he's human, totally and completely in love with Winn!. And who wouldn't be. He's smart, yet geeky, sexy, yet kind of a nerd. It's the perfect package. And he's totally and completely committed to Mac, despite knowing that once she turns 19 and picks a form he will no longer remember her. And as per her usual self, Mac doesn't like to play by the rules. And she also never asks the right questions. But she's totally cool. And who needs to ask questions when your boyfriend does it for you! My favorite part of Mac is how much she grew from the first book to the last in this series. Wow, it was truly incredible to watch.
And if you are a fan of Suze, as I am, you get him in this book. Lots of him. He's funny and silly and loving and caring and scary, yup, he's that too!
And characters that you were not so sure about, the ones you wanted to punch in the face and throw through a window, well, they are going to surprise you and perhaps make you see them in a totally different light.
I have to say my emotions were all over the place in this book. I wanted to scream, I wanted to cry, I wanted to through my Kindle across the room! I laughed, I sighed and overall I just had total love for this book from beginning to end. Emi's writing is spot on. She really pulls you right back into her story, tugging you along and keeping you in total and complete suspense. You can't guess what will happen from one page to the next. Yes, Emi's ability to keep you wondering is awesome! And she's not afraid to do things to her characters that you would not expect. I love authors who are not afraid to take risks. It's an emotional roller coaster ride filled with mystery and intrigue.
The ending is just perfect. I will tell you that you will not be disappointed and that, as Emi said, you get your HEA. You will not guess it at all. And that's the fun of this series. It just keeps you guessing. When I finished this book I got so excited, I immediately told Emi I needed to order hard copies of the first two. And she sent them signed and everything! I can't wait to get the final book added to my collection on the shelf
I really could not put this one down and if you are a fan of this series, I don't think you'll be able to put it down either. I wish I could go into so much more detail, but I don't want to ruin it for anyone. So I'll let you all decide what you think once you're done. And maybe I'll come back once the book is released and give you more of my opinion on this awesome trilogy!
5/5 stars

Sounds awesome right? You wanna know part of the love theme for these books? Go on, take a listen!
Emi Gayle just wants to be young again. She lives vicariously through her youthful characters, while simultaneously acting as chief-Mom to her teenaged son and searching for a way to keep her two daughters from ever reaching the dreaded teen years.
Ironically, those years were some of Emi's favorite times. She met the man of her dreams at 14, was engaged to him at 19, married him at 20 and she's still in love with him to this day. She'll never forget what it was like to fall in love at such a young age — emotions she wants everyone to feel.
