Review by Vicky London
Twilight Fall is the sixth book in Lynn Viehl’s Darkyn series. Valentin Jaus lost the woman he loved to another and his dream of being with her was brutally ended in a sword fight. He has lived in a fog of pain and regret since then. Liling Haper is a gardner who brings joy to patients in assisted living. Her gifted touch with plants and her ability to ease the pain of patients makes her a popular employee in the care center where she works. The unattainable Mr. Jaus is like a move star to her. He is so beautiful and aloof but his care for their mutual friend and patient Luisa brings them together. Liling and Valentin have an enemy in common and her good deeds have brought her to their attention. When Valentin decides to help her, he sets into motion a sequence of events that will ignite a passion and change both of their destinies.
The childhood of Liling and that of her twin has surprising commonalities with Alexandra Keller and her brother John. Alex and John will discover more about their painful shared history and an illness has results that will leave readers stunned. The book ends on a cliffhanger and a tantalizing glimpse of the next Darkyn novel, Stay the Night featuring Robin of Locksley. I’m not sure if I can wait until January of 2009. Hopefully Lynn will take pity on her fans and give us another Darkyn ebook.
Every time I pick up a Darkyn novel I feel like the books I’ve been reading are kind of like fast food. Viehl’s novels are more like a gourmet meal. I know that’s probably a weird analogy to apply to books but I can’t think of anything closer. They are so good and light years beyond any other vampire series I’ve ever read. I know that some point the series will probably end but I hope that day will never come. Please God… Anyway, if you’ve never read any of the Darkyn books you must pick up If Angels Burn and get hooked. If you are already a fan, Twilight Fall is a must read.

I finished this last night. It was great. Moved all the stories along and makes you wonder what will happen in the next book.

Since reading ”If Angel’s Burn” I realized I could’t put the book down. I love Alexandra Keller character but I am in love with Korvel and hope soon you’ll write a book about him.
Thanks so much LaTonia Clayton from GA.
I love all the Darkyn series.

I really liked the book so much so that I just finished reading it a 2nd time. This was the first one I picked up, I was not going to start from the being but now reading it I want to know how Alexandra and the others came to be. I loved Jaus and Liling. I can’t wait to read the last one. I hope there in it.
Thanks

I can’t get enough of this series!! I finish one book only to pick up the next one and start all over again. I love the darkness of this book, and i espically love the scientific view of the blood infection pathogen analogy. Great characters and another thing I also love is how the previouse characters still play a role in the up coming books. They are not just written off, but more or less still popping up thru the books. Love, love, love this series. Very well written, entertaining, informative, has personality, history and scientific perspective. Overall, this series is a must read!! Excellent Job!!

I love this series!!!!!!!! It is so complex and the characters are so exciting to read about but not so much that you cant imagine running into one of them somewhere. I would read a post it note if it was written by LynnViehl. Please , Oh Please, keep up the phenomenal work that you do!!
