In the aftermath of a devastating tragedy, Rion D’arcy is left with nothing but the shattered pieces of a broken heart and a haunting array of unanswered questions. Despite the unwavering support at his side, the ache for solace consumes him.

With the help of friends, both new and old, Rion vows to enact his revenge. He is forced to confront the haunting decisions of his past so that those he loves may have a chance for a better future.

However, all is not what it seems.

Can Rion stop the looming darkness before it is too late? Or will the day burn bright with truths he never wanted to face?

My opinion

Of course, this is only my personal opinion of the book and just because I give this rating to the book doesn’t mean, that everyone will have that opinion.

This review hurts to write and that’s why I put off writing it. It has been one month since I read it and I don’t remember much of the book – which in my case is a clear indicator that I was enjoying it to the fullest.

I reread „The Night Runs Red“ beforehand because I was so excited for book 2. Book one was a book, that I enjoyed and that I also recommended.
„The day turns bright“ felt different. It felt rushed and everything just happened too fast. The characters didn’t feel the same and I thought they lacked depth and chemistry, which they definitely had beforehand. The plot felt a bit all over the place and don’t get me started about the miscommunication.

I will give 3 stars because I enjoyed book one a lot and maybe I just read the books at the wrong time. This rating is open to change to maybe 2,5 stars but for now, I will go with 3.

Conclusion 

Sadly not as good as book one

My rating is: 

⭐⭐⭐

Bewertung: 3 von 5.
