This whole series was amazing it dealt with some many things addiction and suicide being some of it. This is a paranormal reverse harem that sort of continues where the Witch’s rebels series left off. Each book in this series has a cliffhanger and I am supremely glad I waited until the whole series was out because the cliffhangers are no joke.

This is book 2 and boy was it a doozy. Haley is a silverbane witch that has to go to the realm of midnight to steal someone’s blood to protect her family. At the end of this one we find out that the hated warlock isn’t really the warlock. He is an imposter! That was wow. I sort of seen it coming but it was unexpected.

While we get lots of day-to-day details with the FMC Haley, her harem, and the new mysterious Keradoc, nothing much was resolved when comparing the beginning of the book to the end. Haley is still imprisoned by Keradoc with no idea how to do what he wants her to do, Elian is a drugged-out loner, Jax is mad at all the lies from everyone, and Hudson is the steady faithful loyal gargoyle. We learn a little bit more about Keradoc and hints of his past history, but nothing is certain, and he's still a cruel asshat for most of the book.

The writing itself was great and kept me captivated, but I wasn't very satisfied with how the plot progressed in the book. However, I look forward to the release of the next book and hope we get many more answers and resolutions to the mysteries introduced so far.

Now stuck in Midnight imprisoned my the Warlord until she can cast a spell to get rid of their enemies. Elian and Jax are put to work making the drug more potent in hope that will take down some of the opposing army. Although Hayley knows they are improved she starting to feel more like it’s home and Ceridog the Warlord might be the only one who understands her.

This story just keeps getting better and better! Haley and her monsters are trapped in Midnight by Keradoc. This fast paced, steamy, dark fantasy romance was an entertaining and thrilling story to listen to on audio. Sarah Piper writes captivating story filled with witty, sexy banter, action filled twists and turns, and some steamy scenes that will leave you panting for more. There are so many new layers to that develop in this story and and the cliffhanger is shocking. I loved this on audio! Mackenzie,Jason, Teddy, and Aaron are phenomenal in their performances of Haley, Hudson, Elian/Keradoc, and Jax. They brought this story to life. Teddy as both Elian and Keradoc was incredible. Both characters are tortured souls and long for Haley’s affection, Teddy captured them wonderfully. I can’t wait for the next book and find out what happens next.
