Devlin Sinclair, the New England Dark Ones’ Hunter, is on a mission to track down the elusive and mysterious Medusa, perhaps the ultimate nemesis the Pure and Dark Ones have been battling in recent years.

But he can’t do it alone.

Grace Darling has isolated herself from the world since a very young age, after her parents’ death and because of her own social disability. Awkward and brilliant, a born sensualist, Grace agrees to a blind date that changes the course of Destiny.

She has the skills he needs.

Their chemistry is off the charts, but will she, can she give him the love he craves?



My Review:

Grace Darling likes to keep to herself ever since the death of her parents. Her aunt stops by every day to bring her food as Grace does not cook. Grace is a very smart and brilliant hacker who works for a company called Zenn from home. Grace is probably one of the best hackers ever.

This is the reason that Devlin Sinclair a hunter for the Dark Ones. He is on a mission to hunt down the famous Medusa and this is where Grace fits into his plans. He needs her hacking skills and besides she works for the company that he wants to hack into for the information he wants.

Devlin meets Grace online and after chatting with her for a while and getting to know her a little more he asks her out to her favorite restaurant hoping to eventually talk her into helping him out gather the information he needs to find Medusa.

But Grace has other plans for Devlin once meeting him. After meeting up in the restaurant Devlin starts up a conversation trying to get more acquainted with Grace but he soon realize that she is doing nothing but sitting there staring at him. He wonders what is on her mind, what she is thinking. What she has on her mind is nothing close to what he thought. She finally tells him she wants to go home and when he asks her if everything is ok all she will say is I want to go home. So of course Delvin says he will escort her which is exactly what Grace wants because her body is in overdrive. Grace’s unit needs to be serviced and serviced now.   

I love how straight forward Grace is I mean she doesn’t beat around the bush no she comes right out says exactly what is on her mind. Grace has always been a loner but after meeting Devlin I don’t think she wants to be a lone so much anymore. But old habits are hard to break besides Grace doesn’t really trust anybody. Will Grace open up her heart and let her feelings roam free or will she continue pushing all her feelings deep down in her heart until it hardens more and more?

I love the Pure Ones/Dark Ones series and the world that they live in. I love all the difference between the Pure Ones and the Dark Ones. Like how each become vampires and how they live and feed. How one has blooded mates and one have bonded mates. I also like how Aja gives you just enough info to keep you interested and glued to your seat not wanting to miss anything with all the intriguing and mysterious characters. I am glad to have gotten to know more of Sophia’s story and who is this mysterious new person that has walked into her life?

I can’t wait to read more of all the characters from this series in future books and to learn more about their lives and who they are. Grace, Devlin, Sophia, Inanna, Tal, Gabriel, Ryu, Mamma Bear, Benji all have a lot more packed away in their hearts that I would like to see explored more and can’t wait to see how all of their lives intertwine if and when they do.


I highly recommend Dark Pleasures to anyone who loves a great paranormal romance story that has vampires and other creatures. 


About the Author


Aja has been writing stories since the age of six, and novels since the age of thirteen. While she'd be the first to admit that those early efforts weren't particularly good, she sure loved putting them down on paper!

The best part of writing, according to Aja, is that it’s completely organic, the way the stories develop. When the inspiration hits, she writes just so she herself can learn where the characters are headed because oftentimes, they take her by surprise! It is her ultimate dream to share her stories with as many readers as she possibly can.

Her other loves include art, cooking, old movies (anything with Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Robert Redford, Vivien Leigh, Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Clark Gable, and all the song and dance numbers because she can’t watch them and not be happy!)

She adores taking long walks with her husband and running after her two rambunctious kids. She has traveled extensively (all seven continents except Antarctica) and has had a multi-cultural upbringing. She speaks two and a half languages and binge watch TV shows when the mood strikes.

Aja has a Bachelor’s of Arts in Comparative Literature and Economics and two Master’s degrees, one of which is in East Asian Studies.
