Maggie’s child has been stolen! The dark witch, Larinda, has taken the newborn into the Netherworld. She is intent on trading him to a warlock, who will use the child to fulfill a bargain with the Dark One. And Maggie has just three days to stop it. Aided by her sisters and companions, Maggie must journey beyond the Veil to save her child. She will meet many surreal creatures along the way – some friendly, some foe – and quickly realize that her powers cannot compare to those that walk below. But the perils of the Netherworld are nothing compared to the demons they must face as they pass through each portal along the way. More secrets are revealed… and this time, everyone can see them.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Shadows of Dark Root (Daughters of Dark Root Book 5)

The Shadows of Dark Root (Daughters of Dark Root Book 5) The conclusion to the curse mysteries. The action was intense with many twists. The questions raised in the previous books were answered. It was a good read and hard to put down. I recommend all 5 books if you like or interested in the paranormal. This series rocked, now on to another series she has written so many to choose from but will see if anything collates with this series first.

I loved delving back into this world! From the first moment I felt "home" again! This book delivered just as well as the others, & I look forward to the next!

The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the poor editing once again. Missing words & quotation marks were enough to distract me from the plot throughout the book, but they weren't so major that I had to put the book down.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rich journey of self acceptance and love of family
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2019

I purchased the 5 book series for my Kindle and am pausing for a moment while reading book 5 to leave some thoughts. When I started book 1 I thought it moved a little slow and it was difficult to understand, but this was a writing technique by The author to make the reader feel the confusion of the protagonist...Maggie. I was drawn into Maggie's world of confusion and betrayal, fear and shame. Maggie is painted as a real person and was easy, for me, to relate to.

Her return to Dark Root and her discovery of all that Dark Root is and was, the people, the memories, her family...is an adventure and awakening of self growth, love, acceptance, great sacrifices and the age old good vs evil, but with many shades of grey along the way.

In starting book 5, I can feel the deepening richness of the authors writing and her total investment in the Dark Root world. Thankyou April Aasheim for sharing the truth of what witches really are: many different varieties and levels of self acceptance and awareness! Read this series and enjoy the journey!

3.0 out of 5 stars Dark Root
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2019

I have read the entire series and for the most part I enjoyed it, but the editing sucks in these books. It was kind of frustrating at times. I feel at times the story fell flat with too much scenery description. I liked Maggie but at times she seemed to act so immature. I did love the first four books. This last book was so long and drawn out that it took me a few days to read. I feel there are a few things left unanswered, like Jason and Merry's story. All in all it was a good read.

Aasheim paints a vivid and enchanting picture as Maggie ventures the underworld. Maggie is one of the most endearing characters, you can't help but root for her the whole way through. Extremely excited for CDR -- am now obsessed with the world of dark root.
