A Litany at Dusk by duskwatcher2153

Let's see how duskwatcher2153 describes this haunting fic: Edward’s rebellious period didn’t last a few years; it lasted seventy. When he finally rejoins his family in Forks, he is dark, dangerous, despairing and desperate. Will Edward be willing to fight for her instead of fighting against her?AU-rated for lemons

I have noticed that I start a lot of my reviews with OMG I Love this story. BUT - OMG I Love This Story!!! Edward is NOT the good guy in this story. Edward is the BAD, BAD, BAD, HOT, BAD guy in this story. He never stopped feeding off his natural food supply. He never went all sweet and vegetarian with his brothers and sisters. He never settled down and went to high school like a good little 17 year old vampire that is really 108. This Edward ENJOYS killing in this story. He enjoys ridding the world of the scum bags that torment and murder innocent people. But one day, he decides he is missing something. One day he decides that he has a hole in his cold dead heart. Hhhhmmmm - wonder what could fill that hole?

Bella never met her perfect (vampire) man in High School. In fact, she fell in love with her best friend and something happened that ROCKED her entire existence. I can't tell you what that was - that would be ruining the story - but I can tell you that Bella has converted her life to the purest and most innocent life she can find. She spends more time in her local church than she does in her own home. She is paying pittance for something, and she has a hole in her heart that she thinks doesn't deserve to ever be filled. She is resigned to pay her pittance for the rest of her miserable life. Until one day a Dark Angel crosses her path - dum, de, dum, dum.....

The first chapter of this story is filled with Church. Now, many of you don't know this about me, but I have attended Bible College. I know my way around a church. I wasn't really looking for a fan fiction about church. But I pushed forward and I read chapter 2 and by then duskwatcher2153 had her hooks all the way into my subconscious. This story is gripping, it is compelling it is going to rock your socks off. Duskwatcher2153 has this gift. I have only read a very few authors that have this same gift, it is the gift to sneak up on you and slam you right to the ground and leave you begging on your knees for an update. The story seems all mild mannered and innocent and then all of a sudden it EXPLODES and you don't know where the little pieces of your mind are going to end up. If you pass by this story because it starts out about church, I am going to be laughing at you for a long time to come. Because this story is NOT about church. I have only read the one lemon - and I can tell you - I am glad Bella took her cross necklace off for that lemon, because it might have caught on flames otherwise.

I am going to shut up now, because I know you can't wait to get started.
