Summary
Eighteen-year-old Ashlyn is one
interview away from her future when she first sees the demons. She thinks she's
losing her mind, but the truth is far more
frightening: she can see into the Darkworld, the home of spirits– and the
darkness is staring back.
Desperate to escape the demons, Ash accepts a place at a university in the small town of Blackstone, in the middle of nowhere - little knowing that it isn't coincidence that led her there but the pull of the Venantium, the sorcerers who maintain the barrier keeping demons from crossing from the Darkworld into our own world.
All-night parties, new friendships and a life without rules or limits are all part of the package of student life - but demons never give up, and their focus on Ash has attracted the attention of every sorcerer in the area. Ash is soon caught between her new life and a group of other students with a connection to the Darkworld, who could offer the answers she's looking for. The demons want something from her, and someone is determined to kill her before she can find out what it is.
In a world where darkness lurks beneath the surface, not everyone is what they appear to be...

Reviews of DARKNESS WATCHING
"Emma is an
amazing writer. She has become one of my favorites. I couldn’t put Darkness
Watching down."
- Diane at A Creative Mind
"Darkness Watching provides an original world that is fully complete and from a teens POV. It was dark and entertaining and sometimes teen books don’t go full out, this one did. The world building was truly strong in this novel."
- Lexi at Book Bliss
"Like good books should, Darkness Watching left me pondering the story after I'd finished reading AND left me wanting more. Adams built a strong world for readers to be immersed. But the regular world retained full realism. Normal every day teen situations felt completely believable."
- Erin at Erin Albert Books
I have to say, I didn’t see the ending coming! ... the final showdown left me speechless (You will have to read it!)"
- Julia at Never Judge a Book by its Movie
"This was entertaining from the start...I didn’t want to put it down, and fans of urban fantasies I think will enjoy this. Darkness Watching was definitely worth the read."
- Jenea at Books Live Forever
"This book is unique, fun and interesting. I kept wondering what was going to happen next...I felt that this book was well written and It was hard to put this book down once I started. "

Author
Emma spent her childhood
creating imaginary worlds to compensate for a disappointingly average reality,
so it was probably inevitable that she ended up writing fantasy and paranormal
for young adults. She was born in Birmingham, UK, which she fled at the first
opportunity to study English Literature at Lancaster University. In her three
years at Lancaster, she hiked up mountains, skydived in Australia, and endured
a traumatic episode involving a swarm of bees in the Costa Rican jungle. She
also wrote various novels and short stories. These included her first
publication, a rather bleak dystopian piece, and a disturbing story about a
homicidal duck (which she hopes will never see the light of day).
Now a reluctant graduate, she
can usually be found in front of her writing desk, creating weird and wonderful
alternative worlds. Her debut novel The Puppet Spell, published in January 2013
by Rowanvale Books, is a fantasy tale for young adults and the young at heart,
inspired by her lifelong love of the fantastical, mythology, and video games.
Emma also writes supernatural fantasy novels for older teens and adults. Her next
book, Darkness Watching, is the first
in the upper-YA/New Adult Darkworld
series, and was published in October 2013 by Curiosity Quills Press.
