Visions of Darkness by A.L. Jackson is now live!
Destined to be together, forbidden to love, two lost souls fight evil in an everyday world that belongs to the night. A dark romantasy by a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.
Aria Rialta is a girl of two realities. One she was born to. The other she was chosen for. Both are a threat.
Every night when Aria falls asleep, she enters the nightmare world of Faydor to fight a war. It’s her calling to help destroy the Kruen, who feed sin and chaos to our everyday world of vulnerable humans. It would be a lonely realm in which to do battle if not for Pax, Aria’s dangerously irresistible soulmate whose mere touch can kill. It’s also a realm that’s getting harder to escape.
Aria’s hallucinations are seeping into her waking world. And the Kruen are coming for her. To help Aria, Pax must do what no one in Faydor has dared to do before—join his soulmate in the light of day. Giving in to their forbidden attraction could be the death of them, but they might not be able to stop themselves as they embark on a cross-country journey to fight the evils hunting them.
As their desire grows, so do Aria’s untapped powers, and a menacing new force far darker than the Kruen.

Elizabeth's Review
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Review Copy Provided by Author
Ms Jackson is someone on my favorite author list, so when she decided to try her hand at a new genre, so I was all for giving it a try. I’m so glad I did!
There is a lot of world building in Vision of Darkness, but this is well balanced with letting us get to know Aria and Pax as people.
One of the things I appreciated about this story is that the physical intimacy which is usually such a big part of Ms Jackson’s stories shifted to be more in line with Aria’s age. The tangible presentation of their budding relationship was more subtle and felt more realistic.
There is a lot going on here and Ms Jackson does an excellent job of blending the fantasy, romantic relationship, and family dynamic into everything so it doesn’t feel like the details are lost.
My one complaint - if you can call it that - was the ending. I get that this is probably the first book of a series, but the story had a truly good stopping place and we went past that to get the “hook” for the next book. I understand why and it worked well based on the story told here, but it felt a little unnecessary.
Overall, if you enjoy a good paranormal read then this is one I can definitely recommend in terms of interesting characters and good storytelling.
