Synopsis
With Sasha as the proclaimed Mage of high ranking power, she can't just slip under the carpet to a peaceful existance. Instead, she must present herself to the Council, a group of white mages who reside over the magical community, governing Stefan's people. There she must prove she has what it takes to be the mage of Stefan's clan, not something easily done.
Stefan, too, has been noticed by the large faction of rulers. An alpha leader with a firm hold over his people, he has outgrown in his position, and it shows. Ties to a human mage with a vast well of power, though, has made him a target. Sasha is sought after, and those who want to harness her power will take her by force if necessary.
With Dominicous' and Toa's help, Sasha and Stefan must face the trials coming up. Proving themselves is the easy part. Getting out with their lives becomes the challenge.

Review
I received The Council in return for an honest review from
the author. Sasha & Stefan are back this time they are headed to the
council to get approval that will make it all official. For the next two weeks
they will each be tested on their own. While Stefan faces off using his
fighting skills it will be up to Sasha to use her skills with magic. Together
they will have to fight each challenge hoping to win the approval of the
council and Sasha the clutch.
Thankfully the duo won’t have to face the challenges alone
they will be joined by her adopted father Dominicous and Toa as well as the
shifters. However things aren’t all great at the council, there are those who
hope to take Sasha for their own. As well as a few prisoners holding grudges.
When Stefan is kidnapped by their past it’s up to Sasha to save him. Will the
council accept them? What about the shifters? Will Sasha find Stefan before the
past catch up with them?
I really like Sasha she’s living in a world of fantasy but
she’s taking to it really well and found what she was always missing in life.
She’s found the family she never had as well as love. She’s come a long way
from the mage who couldn’t learn from classes growing with each novel. I love
Stefan he’s the idea hero in any book even if she gets the save the day they
work well as a team. I also love a lot of the supporting characters like
Charles, Anna, Tim, Toa, Dominicous and of course Jonas he’s grown on me.
The Council is the 5th installment in the
Darkness series and very well might be my favorite of the series so far. I like
the unique spin on the vampire concept at least they don’t’ sparkle like other
vampires. I also like the integration of the witches, shapeshifters, demons,
and mages. The council is an action packed novel loaded with steamy moments and
fighting. It’s a quick read and easy to finish in a few short hours. I can’t
wait to see what will happen next to Sasha and Stefan now that his people are
starting to accept her. It does hint at adult situations but I think the author
had done a tasteful job conveying the story. I honestly love the characters and
the story my only complaint is they are to quick I want longer books because I
enjoy the world they live in.
5 out of 5 stars
