With demons ravaging London and humanity in danger, it’s up to sassy and reluctant heroine Scarlett Ravenwood to protect the world from falling into the clutches of evil.

London bartender, Scarlett Ravenwood, has never fit in.
She’s a nobody with zero future, and the world thrives on reminding her.
But when she's attacked by a demon, and becomes entangled with the mysterious man who saves her, Scarlett learns she’s not quite human. She’s a Natural — a demon hunting mage with powers unlike anything in the supernatural world — and her destiny is not her own.
Thrust into a hidden world on the brink of an apocalypse, Scarlett must leave behind everything she’s ever known to protect humanity...or risk losing her soul forever.

 Dark Descent is the first novel in The Arondight Codex, a new Urban Fantasy series full of action, adventure, and romance, woven with the threads of lost Arthurian legend. Oh, and demons. Lots of demons.

Scarlett is a great heroine - the natural organization is terrible

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

Scarlet is a great heroine, but the natural organization is almost as evil as the demons.

I really really hated the organization so much so that I would’ve felt better if she never joined it. The organization supposed to be the last bastion of light to stop the demons.

Instead this organization is all about rules and being robots. They intentionally put Scarlett’s harms way and humiliate her for kicks.

Overall I don’t know about continuing this series.
Greer and the natural organization should be dismantled and be true knights of Camelot that are willing to help and not just be almost as evil as the demons.

Can't decide if I liked it or hated it.

So this started out with what could have been a great story. So we have Scarlett who has secret powers but doesn't know it, we have Jackson a guy friend who is in love with her and then you have Wilder the bad boy. All centered around demons who are trying to get to her for her unknown powers. First I would like to say I hated how the author couldn't decide if Scarlett was going to be a strong female lead or a wimpy one. I was sick of her whining about halfway through. I also did not like how Jackson was brushed off so easily without even a thought. I have decided not to read the rest of the series for my own reasons. I leave it up to you to read this book. Even Wilder the bad boy I didn't care for either.

A good start to this urban fantasy series

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2021

Scarlett Ravenwood feels like she's a nobody without a future until she starts seeing demons and witnesses a gorgeous Natural named Wilder exorcise one. No ordinary human should have been able to see that, and now the demons are targeting her. When she's tested by the Naturals, they find she has Light (magic) within her, but she's too old to start training. Even with the demons tracking her and her best friend mutating, Scarlett still doesn't think she's special. But what does her purple Light say about her and will she solve that mystery before she is dead herself?

A solid first book in this urban fantasy series. It had tones of the show Supernatural mixed with warriors called Naturals who wield swords similar to lightsabers. It worked really well together. Plus with the Arthurian myths added in, it was a fun read. Scarlett is brave, and I liked that she didn't do everything well right off the bat. She had to work at it. Wilder is a mystery himself, and I do wonder what secret his history contains.

A decent laugh

I really enjoyed the first 2 thirds of the book, very funny and I loved that nothing really came easily for Scarlett. I loved the significance of the troll too. And Purples. I liked that the nickname stuck. But I was really hoping she wouldn't be enfolded into the naturals. And once that turn started, the book lost its edge and became just like every other. Scarlets personality changed into a child, and it never returned to same caliber as the beginning.
I had been planning on buying the next book, but now I've lost interest.

Another really good urban fantasy

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2020

All I can say is wow! I started this story and once I did, it was so hard to put down. Scarlett and Wilder are such mysteries that unfold so slowly before your eyes. You have to love Scarlett; she is so strong even though she thinks that she is not. She has taken her meds for years to try and deal with life only to find out she might not need them. Wilder is one of those characters that you love one minute and hate the next. The tension between the two of them makes the story move along quickly. By the time I finished, I knew that I would have to go and get the next book of the series.

I gave it a fair try

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

I feel like I made myself read more than I wanted and still only made it in about 20 percent before giving up. All the gaming references were kind of a turn off. I don’t think it was terribly written though and the characters weren’t the worst. I think the dialogue was just off and unrelated and a bit young. The 20 percent I read just seemed shallow and trying to hard to be funny and cute and snarky. Just my opinion.

I read this as part of the after Midnight collective. I enjoyed the characters in this story, as well as the story itself. I loved the Arthurian references. I am excited to have been introduced to this author and this series, and I will be looking further into the series!

Something was missing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 17, 2020

Just the three stars. I kept waiting on something else. The book and characters just let it down. It could have taken place anywhere, at any time, past present or future there was nothing special or indeed anything making me want to read the next book. This was disappointing,

Great background with the Arthurian legends and modern London. I want more! Character development and dialogue is well done, I just hope Scarlet becomes less self deprecating. A new author, andi look forward to reading many more by Nicole Taylor.

though understanding her background,
