Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer

5.0

Well you've convinced me to read the whole series now. This is what I want when I read a book-I want to be wholly convinced that this is a real world and while I know it's not...I want it to be. I loved Tessa and Wes.. and Quint and Prince Corrick..and Rocco. Haha the King is okay, but I just feel like something else is going on with him, so once I dive into book #2 that will hopefully be more clear. This is a great read if you're not into spice and you are into a whole lot of world building.

I cried in the first 50 pages of this book because of the 13 year old boy and his mom. As a mom myself, it was just gut wrenching and I wanted so badly to step in and make it stop. This is always how I know a book is normally going to be a 5 star for me... when I want to step in and help.

I am trying really hard not to give anything away, but please pick this book up. Make it a part of your collection. Hold on tight to this world, because it is so good.
