Basic Info
Standalone or series? Book 1 in a new series Category Paranormal Crime / Mystery Official Blurb About The Book A new vampire series to sink your teeth into from the creator of the best-selling Ever Chace Chronicles. Detective Sergeant Maximillian “Max” De Barra has always preferred working the night shift in the homicide unit, more at home in the shadows with his own company than saddled with a partner. His single-minded focus to solve crimes has earned him a reputation so when he is called in to solve a string of murders whose only link is the stamp of a nightclub downtown, Max must use that determination to get passed a veil of secrecy. Theodora Caden or "Theo" to her Scion, has managed to stay under the radar of humans for most of her immortal life. As the Suzerain, it's her responsibility to keep her vampires safe while also making sure that none of her kin do anything stupid that would draw the attention of the humans. When human attendees of her club end up dead, with vampire bite marks, Theo must do everything in her power to stop the lead detective from discovering that monsters really do come out at night. Bodies keep dropping and Max and Theo find themselves in a cat-and-mouse game with a killer who has only just gotten started. Fighting the spark of attraction might be more dangerous than the killer that they hunt and it might just be the death of them. Own The Night is Book 1 of 5 in the Murdering Hour Series. How did I get this book? I got to read it first! Why did I choose to read this book: Is choose the right word? I mean like I am gonna say no lmao And Now To The Review! First Impressions: This book sets the tone right at the start with a pretty gruesome crime scene. General Review Coming up with new vampire lore is HARD! Coming up with new vampire lore that I don't pick holes in? Even harder. I mean at this point there are already 3 different vampire lores in progress in Susan's series alone, but yet again she has come up with something new and original, something that really works. With the romance side of things really being put on the back burner - I mean it's really more of a minor sub plot here (although I have a feeling that might change down the line), this is really about the crimes, and the hunt for the killer. Definitely not for the faint of heart - this definitely has some of the most graphically described crime scenes in any of her series and the attention to detail is spectacular. Plus can we just take a moment to admire Theo's wardrobe? I'm gonna need access to that closet! Final Thoughts I love this new series. I can't wait for Dwell in Darkness - The Murdering Hour Novels book 2. I am fascinated to learn more about this world .... and for those of you that got the special edition hardcover .... THAT EXTRA STORY! DID NOT SEE ANY OF THAT COMING! Rating No Surprise that this gets a solid 5 stars from me. I can't wait for everyone else to read it so we can CHAT!
