The Gravediggers aren’t exactly what they seem. They’re the most elite of the world’s fighting forces—and all they have in common is that they’ve been betrayed by the countries they’ve died for. Because they are dead. To their country, their military, and their families.

Sometimes the dead do rise...

Deacon Tucker is a dead man walking. A former black ops agent, he was disavowed and stripped of all honor before being recruited as a Gravedigger. But his honor and good name no longer matter, because no one knows he’s alive, and he’ll never get the recognition he deserves. His mission is simple: save the world or die trying. And for God’s sake, don’t ever fall in love. That’s a rule punishable by death. The kind of death a man can’t be brought back from.

Tess Sherman is the only mortician in Last Stop, Texas. She has no idea how Deacon Tucker ended up in her funeral home, but she’ll eat her hat if he’s only a funeral home assistant. Deacon is dangerous, deadly, and gorgeous. And she knows her attraction to him can only end in heartache.

Deacon is on a mission to stop the most fatal terror attack the world has ever known—what’s known as The Day of Destiny—a terrorist’s dream. But when he discovers Tess has skills he can use to stop them, he has to decide if he can trust her with secrets worth dying for. And, most important, he has to decide if he can trust her with his heart.

As soon as I read the prologue to The Darkest Corner I knew this was going to be one hell of a book.

Tess is a mortician, she's so use to dead bodies and when she finds out that her coworkers are Gravediggers her world turn's upside down. Her plan was to move out of Last Stop, Texas but that changed when she the Gravediggers ask for her help. What is a Gravedigger you ask? Gravediggers are a secret organization that stop any threat to the United States.

The chemistry between Tess and Deacon was everything my reading heart wanted, they both wanted love and they both deserved it. Yes they had some sexy moments but what I adored more was when they would talk about their feelings and their future. Now that they had each other, the wanted to make all the moments count and I was all for it.

The action y'all, the action and the missions were incredible, I was holding my breathe every time The Gravediggers went on a mission because I didn't want anything to happen to them ever.

The Darkest Corner had everything I love in a mystery, action, secrets, romance, I could definitely see this novel turned into a tv show. Seriously the way The Darkest Corner is written is like it was primed for a tv show, the detail Liliana Hart used to describe the morgue life and even action scenes were damn near perfect, her research paid off wonderfully.

This is first time reading a book by Liliana Hart and it won't be my last, she captivated me with this story and I am definitely a new fan. I loved the ease of the relationships and friendships she created, there was never any dull moments between anyone.
