Representaion Toward Books Token of Darkness (Den of Shadows #6)
Cooper Blake has everything going for him - until he wakes from a car accident with his football career in ruins and a mysterious, attractive girl by his side. Cooper doesn't know how Samantha got there or why he can see her; all he knows is that she's a ghost, and the shadows that surround her seem intent on destroying her.No one from Cooper's old life would understand what he can barely grasp himself... But Delilah, the captain of the cheerleading squad, has secrets of her own, like her ability to see beyond the physical world, and her tangled history with Brent, a loner from a neighboring school who can hear strangers' most intimate thoughts. Delilah and Brent know that Cooper is in more trouble than he realizes, and that Samantha may not be as innocent as she has led Cooper to believe. But the only way to figure out where Samantha came from will put them all in more danger than they ever dreamed possible.
Token of Darkness is a chilling, irresistable read about the nature of power - and responsibility.

Meh. This book leaves an overall impression of "meh" on me. It's actually kind of weird, because when I think of the specifics of the book itself, I can actually come up with more elements that I liked than ones that I didn't, but somehow, the overall response it evoked was one of bland indifference.The concept here is something of a switch for Atwater-Rhodes' Den of Shadows books, in that it doesn't focus on that predator-prey dynamic between a human and a vampire, or the vampires and theWhen I was in middle school, I read a lot of books by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes and thoroughly enjoyed them. I guess because I read them a while ago and preferred a different style back then, that I didn't enjoy this book as much because my tastes have changed from when I first read her books. I liked her old stuff more in my opinion, but my age could have been the reason for that. I was disappointed by this book. The book sort of seemed like it was thrown together and it just didn't gel with
The author's ability to write such self-aware genericness is mind-boggling. It's truly bewildering to me that in the 13 or however many years that this woman has been publishing novels she has not improved at all. Maybe it is just her natural style, that she writes completely unengaging books that I waste precious money on. There was nothing special about this book, not a single scene or line that drew me in or made me want to read more. Certainly I didn't care what happened. Except for one
3 1/2 StarsToken of Darkness is the sixth book in The Den of Shadows series by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes.This is a great YA, paranormal fantasy series with ghosts, vampires, witches, shapeshifters, supernatural elements, mystery, suspense, danger, action, drama, and a little angst. Cooper Blake had a promising career ahead of him as a football player- but all that chanced in an instant when a car accident shatters all his dreams. Wen a mysterious girl turns up out of the blue, Cooper has a lot to
Token of Darkness will be a little bit different than the books before it within this series. WHY? Oh, because...there are none of my favorite vampires in it and there are no vampires at all. Even though it disappoints in that area it is still a really good book. I gobbled it up within an hour - maybe less? I don't know I don't time myself on these things. I really liked Cooper's character in this book - he was probably my favorite in the entire book. Whereas Samantha and Brent sort of helped
Total departure from the rest of the Den of Shadows, involving elemental beings, psychics and telepaths, and sorcerers and witches, with no reference to vampires, hunters, shapeshifters, or Single Earth. Its interesting and weird and original and has the Atwater-Rhodes classic darkness and trauma, but its so different that it took adjusting to. The body swapping was particularly weird, tbh.
It was an overall ok book. It had undeveloped characters, and not a very descriptive plot. but the idea was good. Maybe if the author put more time into it, it might have been better. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
