Demon Night

I adore this whole series so much! It even survives the reread I am currently doing quite well, although the laughs are, alas, not as hard when you're expecting them. I also find I miss some of the depth you got from Mya's story given it was stretched across three books and we were still learning about the world we are in. This book is one of my favourites. Not only do I love Angel and Shax and their story, but I love the dynamic shift you get here. For the first time we see something other then a Fae obviously chasing after a woman they basically fell for instantly and her running scared. Instead it takes time for his interest to shift to our heroine and even then he's so busy playing it cool that she never even sees it coming while she's falling for him. It comes at the perfect time in the series as the established pattern begins to get expected and tired. And the dynamic changes continue with the next books as well which is really refreshing! Although by this point in the series I am starting to get a little worried for the human men. I sort of want to see Ryan or Garret or maybe Matt get their own love story now. Even if it only occurs in the background...

4.5 stars — Oh, look at that. I started it at bedtime and stayed up until after 3am finishing it. Darn this series is addicting. I’m sad I’m all caught up now. I loved that this one gave us yet again a different kind of heroine, looking for different things. It was so refreshing that Angel wasn’t clouded by fear of the fae, but actually understood their importance and could look back on their appearance to see their kindness (and hotness). She was also kind of sex positive…it was refreshing that she was all in for the loving, just felt like she couldn’t have it because of the secret she was protecting. And OMG, Angel was freaking hilarious. I loved how (perhaps because of the hormones), she could see the lighter side of things in such a grim world. And she could be fierce too, though her mouth mostly just got her into trouble. Shax was as adorable as I’d expected, but also more fierce than I’d expected. Dude has a serious jealous/possessive side! But I guess I could kind of see how it would stem from insecurity, since he was having problems with his love life. I adored the romance between Angel and Shax, even though it was mired in misunderstandings/miscommunication, which is usually not my favourite. But they had great chemistry with one another, and when they finally figured things out, I just melted. Parts of the plot completely caught me off guard! I did not expect the roommates situation, and while their entitled attitude was somewhat realistic, at times I felt like it was also over the top. Or else I just didn’t get to see more of the good people. I LOVED Garrett though. He was a fun addition, and I’m kind of bummed that we won’t get to see his (or Ryan’s) love story as a book, since, you know, no female fae. This one also let us in on the lives of our previous couples, which was delightful. They still make me laugh. And OMG, there are so many little background plots that have me so intrigued! I can’t wait for more books to find out what is happening. I need them, like, NOW. So yeah. Stupidly addicting series, filled with laughs and action and swooniness. And I think this is my favourite so far!

5 stars! Love angels fun, spunky attitude. Livened the seriousness and made me laugh so much my son asked if I was okay 😂
