I am so glad all of the books in this series are out right now. I still have to wait to read the next one and I'm already anxious. What more can I say? I loved it and can't wait to read the rest of Matt and Hannah's story, even if it is sort of messed up, but oddly sweet. Seriously, I loved it.
Very poor copy of fifty shades! Hate fifty so obviously hated reading this book! That guy is insane! Halfway through it I was just so shocked and disappointed with this book! I bet the book could have been a terrific one if matt/Mathew/M. Pierce/ whatever had not humiliated that brainless lady! Slut!! Seriously?? How many times does he call her that? Is he even sane? I absolutely loathed his character (Hannah's too, but I pity her so...)! I can only relate him to a psychopath!
One word review - dumb!
One word review - dumb!
I loved and hated this book. No, not the book. I loved and hated the characters in Night Owl. I just finished the epilogue of Night Owl. I wanted to write this while my views are fresh. I read all the rave reviews of this book and thought, “I have to read this!” It was not what I expected. The writing is brilliant. The characters dark and scary real. This book didn’t give me any reprieve, it just went there. Deep into madness and crazy love. I am so torn on how to review this. But let me try…
Night Owl is a book about a love affair. Hannah meets Matt on a collaborative writing website. Matt is a bit of an ass. No, he is a big ass. But she agrees to work with him anyways. His writing is brilliant. They start off completely anonymous, but then identities are accidentally revealed. They begin to let slip little details about each other in online chats. Between the writing there is this curiosity about each other. Hannah is giving him all of her info, and Matt begins to seek her out. Hannah is just getting out a relationship and starting over. She has nothing to lose.
Matt, on the other hand, is a man who lives with so many secrets. He has everything to lose, so he lies. The big one has to do with his writing. He lies about his true identity to her. He lies to Hannah about having a girlfriend. The cheating element was a bit of an issue for me. I could over look that because it happened almost against his will. Once you meet this character, you begin to understand. The mental illness that Matt suffers from, is something to be pitied. He is narcissistic, and very fragile at the same time. He never says goodbye on the phone, he just hangs up. He stalks her a bit, she doesn’t seem to mind. He tries to buy everything for her, no red flag is raised. He has hot and cold emotions and Hannah just blows it off. So much like a woman, Hannah is just happy to have him. When Hannah finally does put her foot down, Matt has a break down and shit gets real.
The complexity of this book is not easy to break down. First, the writing is brilliant. I could easily see this story. It is descriptive but not annoyingly so. The sex scenes in this book were incredible. Very hot sex, and deliciously written. The dirty talk is something I enjoy in a character, and Matt drives it home with his filthy, fictional mouth. Even with the amazing sex, this book is not all about sex. I don’t even think I could classify this as smut. The relationship isn’t what I would classify as normal. It is more like an addition for each other. How far would you go for your knight in shining armor? This is how far Hannah went for hers. At times, I felt he was deserving. Other times, I wanted to smack some sense into Hannah.
So I am torn on my review of Night Owl. I read this book incredibly fast. Like, late into the night, sneaking pages in at work. I love and hate the character of Matt. He is just likea man every man I have ever met. Because I love a**holes I love the character of Matt for pulling my heart strings. I know I shouldn’t even admit it, but I know how Hannah felt. When she saw her knight broken on the floor, lying in the hospital, crying because he was overcome with it. I know because women are so capable of love and look beyond every bad deed to see the man that he could be.
I love that the author of this book is also so secretive. Is M. Pierce a man or a woman. It is edgy and dangerous to write about a man like Matt. Is he sexist? Crazy? Maybe. He might turn a lot of readers off. By looking at the reviews of this book, Matt had the opposite effect. Is this book inspired by real life? I am completely absorbed in this story. It ended so…. suddenly. M. Pierce, where are we going with this? Luckily, I have [b:Last Light|2167112|Last Light (Last Light, #1)|Alex Scarrow|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328995482s/2167112.jpg|2172641], the next book in this trilogy, just waiting for me on my kindle.

Take them! Take ALL of the stars!
No, seriously, I loved this first book of the Night Owl Trilogy. I was addicted after the first two chapters, and then I absolutely devoured it. I consumed it whole. Because just when I thought it was going to be an especially suspenseful sex-fest with a kinky, alpha hero, it actually became quite serious, realistic, and downright meaningful. The anonymous author did a fantastic job with some serious issues that hit close to home for me, and I appreciated it, even if it did stoke some old, painful memories.
I already knew that the price of great pleasure is great pain.
Anyone who knows me knows that there isn't much I won't read. That being said, I'll always have a weakness for bad boys, especially obsessive ones that border on insane. I swore off the crazy ones in real life a long time ago, but I still get my fix from fiction. Matt checked all the boxes for me; fixated, secretive, brooding, and filthy. Yes, he was deceitful, but I understood him. Underneath the bravado was a man who felt too much. He had a pet rabbit and adored a stuffed manatee, for fuck's sake. I didn't even love to hate him, because I never hated him. He was always perfect to me, even when he was making bad decisions. That being said, I understood Hannah too. She had every right to every feeling she had, but she still stepped up when it mattered. Maybe some people don't understand how strong she had to be- and they're lucky for that, because I wouldn't wish it on anyone- but I do. Towards the end of the book, she earned my undying respect. It's usually pretty rare for me to fall in love with both MCs, but it happened effortlessly in this one. I can't wait to continue!!
God, I felt amazing. I felt tattered in the best possible way, like our violent passion had blasted me clean. When I eased off Matt’s arm and climbed out of his bed, I knew that I was leaving something behind. It was my old skin. He’d taken me for all I was worth.
For the first time since I met Matt, I was starting to feel like he might be too good to be true. Too perfect, too right for me, too interested in me. There had to be a catch.
I didn’t know how to be apart from Hannah anymore. I didn’t know how to wake up without her. When I was with her, I felt right and the world felt full of possibility.
“You are always deceiving me,” she whispered. I clasped the couch with both hands. “Always, Matt, always speaking to me from any mouth but your own. Don’t you know that I love you? I see you under all your lies, and I always find you.”

The story starts quite abruptly in the middle of one of Hannah and Matt’s Skype chats. They are writing a story together online. Matt set up rules, but rules are meant to be broken, and Hannah starts breaking them pretty quickly into their relationship. Even though they have their story online, they both are in relationships at the start. It is only when Hannah is suddenly available that things start to happen. When they find themselves living in the same city it is almost inevitable that they will meet, but when one person is keeping secrets, like Matt is, how true can a relationship really be? And is it possibly to hurt anyone with those secrets? The answer is no, of course.
There were many little things that I loved about this novel. I love that Matt has a rabbit named Laurence. I think that it is a cute little addition that allows the reader to see that even under all the demanding and anger there is a soft side in the way that he talks to Laurence.
I also really enjoyed Nate, Matt’s brother. He really appeared to care for his brother and there is nothing I love more than men shedding what most of the world would define as their “masculinity” and being adorable and cute with each other. Nate had no problem showing his love for his little brother and it was adorable.
The story seemed to escalate pretty quickly, but then leveled off for quite a while. I enjoyed the last 25% of the book the best. I felt there was the most emotion in those pages and the first part of the book was more about the sex. I thought that the end was more balanced between the sex and the emotion, but that could just be from my preference for romance and not necessarily the “erotic” romance genre that this could be categorized as. Even so I thoroughly enjoyed reading Matt and Hannah’s story. Their love for each other is very apparent and I could feel the emotions that both were feeling throughout. There has been a lot of hype about this novel on many sites I frequent and I am glad that I decided to give it a shot.

I was supposed to be editing today.
I was supposed to be clearing things off of my do to list.
Instead, at about nine this morning, I got sucked into the SAMPLE of 'Night Owl' on Amazon and that's all she wrote.
I have just finished. One sitting. My butt is numb. And I don't care. This book is amazing. I love the characters, God Hannah is great. I love Matt's assholery so much, his vulnerability. Simply LOVE this book.
The writing is tight and fluid and reminds me somewhat of Tiffany Reisz's brilliant voice.
This is, hands down, one of the best books I've read this year. Go forth and read!!!

This book is like nothing I have read before. I wanted to stop a few times in the beginning, just too over the top but BOY am I glad I kept going. Matt was divine, just how I see an author to be. Hannah showed amazing courage and strength...if you're after something to grip you, I recommend Night Owl
kinda embarrassed i read this, not counting thing one in my reading challenge just because. idk is erotica a whole new genre by itself? i enjoyed it but it was also kind of meh.
