Fear Darkness, by author C.C. Bolick, is the third installment in the authors Fear Chronicles series. Rena Mason is a recent recruit to Earth Under Fire, a group created to monitor humans with powers and protect the masses from rogue hostile powers. Rena has the ability to start and stop explosions, but she still needs to grow her confidence. It's still lacking and she needs to be afraid in order for her powers to actually work. Rena refuses to let the agency control her anymore. She and genetics specialist Erin Watts escape the confines of the agency and is on the run. 

 

She expects to be caught and brought back and put in isolation like Travis is. Regardless, Rena is pretty much stuck unless she loses her powers or dies. After returning to Atlanta, word gets back to her that Louis Castillo, who believes he's Rena's father and wants her with him, has captured her father and brother in Spain. Rena makes a deal with a rogue operative from the planet Golvern named Van who has orders to keep her safe to take her to Spain where they learn that Louis has Golvern technology. How?

 

The story also revolves around Travis Payne who is an agent with (4) powers like teleportation, seeing the future, causing the earth to shake, and burning a persons skin with a touch. Unfortunately, thanks to Director Sylvia Greene, he opens the story in a coma preventing him from using his powers, but ends up being going to Golvern after the Queen requests a meeting. The Queen can see the future and hints of something horrible to come soon where she will ask certain people for forgiveness for what happens next. Travis reunites with his father Noah Payne who disappeared for 13 years and gets another surprise as well. 

 

There's a lot to talk about including Rena's own mother and father's betrayal. Without spoiling anything, the ending is rather shocking and stunning and will lead to what happens in the final installment in this series. Everything will be revealed soon!

For the first time in his life, Travis Payne doesn’t want to be an agent. He can’t focus beyond his grief at the thought of losing Rena. The clock ticks as everyone knows his powers will soon return, and those who betrayed Travis could face his deadly touch.

Rena Mason never imagined life would change this drastically. She also never thought her own parents would betray her. Now she’s faced with only one choice—strengthen her powers while turning her back on the future she’d planned with Travis.

In twenty-four hours, two planets will be destroyed. Can Rena and Travis work together to save everyone they care about?

Fear Tomorrow, by author C.C. Bolick, is the third & final installment in the authors Fear Chronicles series. Travis Payne takes the lead for awhile. Golvern and Earth are in trouble. The Queen of Golvern has seen a future where both planets are tied together and will be destroyed thanks to Louis Castillo and his allies. The Queen believes that Rena has the power to stop the destruction of both planets by one of Golvern's suns which lead to what happened at the end of the previous story.

Spoiler! Rena no longer has a body thanks to the betrayal of her parents, (especially her own mother who keeps the truth from her time and time again), Van who shot her, and the Queen who believes that she has the capability and powers to stop the destruction of Golvern and Earth. According to the Queen, Rena needs to be like her mother whose powers grew exponentially when she died. Of course, Rosanna took over another body! Unlike when she was alive, the darkness no longer scares her. She needs to be challenged to build up as much power as she can to save the planets. Over the course of the story, Rena will be tested to see how much power she can actually wield. Can she stop what's to come? Will she become like her mother and wear another persons body?
