Dark Matter by Margaret Watson
The Four #3

Two corners of the square completed.
Two couples joined together.
Fire and water. Magic and wizardry.
Powerful alone. Together? Formidable. Strong. Tough.
The third corner of the square needs to take shape.
But Evil is stronger, as well. More powerful. More cunning.
The hunters stalk, and Evil waits for them in the shadows.
It keeps its puppet dancing on his strings, and lures the seven closer

With an evil entity out to conquer the world and four couples needed to thwart this evil it is Flynn Parker and Mase Lynch up to bat and take a hit at the wickedness that wishes to win. The two have felt a connection for some time but are guarded and feel a need to keep a distance. That distance is dissolved temporarily but soon a wall goes up again as the two try to figure out how to move forward as partners against evil and perhaps as partners in life. Both have issues from the past to overcome, fears to deal with, family situations that were less than ideal and are unsure they can commit so it takes them time to figure it all out but eventually they do manage to do so.

The team of seven do work together and more is told about Finn Brody who will be in book four but who his partner will end up being is still a mystery. More information is given about the entity trying to take over the world and one of her minions is taken out by the seven BUT the battle is not over. Will the group prevail or will wickedness win? I am definitely eager to read book four once it is released!

Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
