Debbie Cassidy's Order of Helsing continues with Reap the Night. I tell you, this series keeps getting better and better. Reap was fantastic!
Oh, this book was messy! I have never been madder at Ordell and Hemlock. The way they went about things with Orina... Then there's Ezekiel, when did he change? He's confusing the heck out of me, I don't know how to feel about it. Last but not least is Kaster Black. By gods, Kaster pushes all the right buttons. The relationships are so messy, and on top of it all, I still don't know if this is an RH. Ugh! And poor Orina, she has no clue what to do about any of it. I so sympathize with her. She's being put into one impossible situation after another, and she's constantly being hurt. Yet, all she does is think about others and try her best to protect them and do what's right.
Finally, the details of the curse were revealed, and while I expected some of it, I still found myself surprised. Actually, I was surprised by many things. More about the past, besides the curse, was given and I found those events to be just as shocking. I call BS on the whole thing. And that's just the tip of the iceberg of the problems that Orina has, let's not forget the Order's missing person case, the vampires who are getting riled up, and gods knows what else. I loved the twists and turns, they are proving that things are a lot more dire than anyone suspected.
And just when I think that has to be it, Debbie drops a huge bomb in the final chapter of the book that accumulates into one heck of a cliffhanger. Reap the Night was absolutely mind-blowing, now bring on the Dawn.

Debbie my emotions are running high. Omg what did I just read. There is so much to unpack in this latest instalment of poor Orinas life. This booked dragged me through the mud kicking and screaming. My heart broke for Kaster. He had become a fave of mine. Okay, I won’t give too much away here. But this was a master class of complex storytelling. Intricate and beautifully written. But it’s Debbie, so expect nothing but perfection. I absolutely love/hate what went down in this book..especially with the added complications near the end but I know the pain is temporary. Orina’s HEA is coming. I can feel it. I hope 🤞🏾

Reap the Night is the third book in the Order of Helsing series, and I have to say, these books just keep getting better. I’m so glad I didn't give up during the first book. Honestly, this book was what I was hoping for from the beginning. I couldn't put it down and literally read it in just a few hours. It has freaking everything in it. We learn about the curse, what happened to Ezikial and Arabella when he was taken, and more about Orina’s background. And while Orina is navigating everything, little things are being sprinkled in the background. Nothing too big, but enough to make you wonder what the heck is going on. And then there are the twists…They just kept coming, and what the fudge was that cliffhanger?!!!!
Oh, and Hemlock is an ass. There were so many times I wanted to either throat-punch him or poke his eyes out.
I can't wait for the next book. A definite must-read.

Really enjoyed it!
So I didn’t realize until halfway through this book that it’s the third in the series…. And not the first LOL. I honestly don’t know how I did that but, it happened and I decided to finish it, instead of stopping and going to book 1. Now that I have finished it though, I wish I did. I was confused on so many things while reading it and now I know why lol.
First of all, I did really like it. There is a lot happening in this book and I think, once I read the first two I’ll probably edit this review. But, what I did read, I did enjoy. But, here’s what I know. Orina, our FMC is a watcher and while I don’t know what all that entails, I’ve gathered she’s a protector/guardian of certain supernatural beings (I think). She is the key to breaking an ancient curse to the vampire king, Ezekiel and it’s not going well.
Here’s where I’m confused. It “seems” like Orina and Ezekiel are really into each other and could be end game but, she’s really into his brothers as well. Again, I don’t know the full back story and I know I’ll get clarification when I read the first two but, her inner dialogue is always checking out the men in this book lol. Nothing wrong with that I just don’t know if this is a why choose or not.
There is some mystery in this book too which I really like. There is someone or a group of someone’s who really don’t want this curse broken and I’m interested to find out more. All in all I love DC’s books I just wish I read the first book and not the third, first. Happy reading all!

Reap the Night is the continuation of Orina’s story, and be forewarned...this book is stupid good! Remember to put your device down immediately after you get to the last page...you’ll thank me later for this sage piece of advice. LOL!
Orina’s story picks up where book two left off. The revelations are coming and boy howdy was our jaw on the floor. But things are rarely what they seem, and this author continues to prove that to us readers with each turn of the page.
Orina must seriously be getting whiplash though, right? From “Get close to Ezekial,” to “We need you to back off and let this over here happen now.” But kudos to Orina for hanging in there, and still doing what she knows is best.
We get lots of delicious drama in this book with the alternating POV and the engaging dynamics. The twists will shock you & bring tears to your eyes so be prepared.
Honestly, though we can’t wait for book four. Because right now...this is our current favorite series. LOL!

I knew diving into this book that it would be a wild ride. Orina’s story has me in a chokehold! These characters are so well done, the world building is phenomenal, the pace and flow is perfect, these are things that Debbie is so so good at. The twists and turns this series has thrown at us readers keeps us on our toes, never able to predict what happens next. The relationships developing through the series also keeps me guessing, not to mention the overall emotional rollercoaster! Then we get to the end of this book and screech to a halt saying “whaaaaat?!”. Debbie has certainly done it again, without a doubt! This series has me hooked. I am so so looking forward to the next installment
December 16, 2024
My word the way that Orina (FMC) continued to get caught up in the twistingly back and forth between Ezekiel, Ordell and Hemlock definitely keeps you guessing (add to that Kaster) throughout this book. Only it wasn't just from them either. The other characters that were around Orina had their own problems that intertwined with her. Which I really loved. Wow though that ending was just a knockout read!! Completely threw me but it was brilliant.
January 14, 2025
Wow. That was quite a ride! If you ever wondered, “What else could Debbie Cassidy possibly put me – or Orina – through that she hasn’t already?” Well, you certainly get your answer in this one, and probably regret that you asked. The answer is A LOT. It’s not just an emotional rollercoaster; it’s non-stop. Every character has something crazy going on, and of course, Orina’s in the middle of it all.
With the previous book leaving us on a shocking cliffhanger, Debbie Cassidy just continued on with the shocking turns, and never let up. Orina had a lot thrown at her in this one, and just kept rolling with the punches, on to the next crisis. I would’ve run from her job from the first page of the first book, but not Orina. Of course, in this one her job continues to get increasingly more dangerous, and with that, less and less black and white. Her heart gets twisted and tangled several times, and if you think it’s just over Ezekiel or Ordell, oh how nice it would be if it was only them; and her devotion to the Order gets tested like no other time.
If you’re looking for a book where the author holds nothing back on the sex scenes, yet doesn’t overdo it, gets super spicy and creative, and makes sure there’s more than two scenes, this is 100% your book. I read A LOT of romance – it’s my job. But this one even had me blushing a few times. As you may expect by the time you get to this book, it’s not just one guy she’s with through the whole book, either. But I’m not telling who she’s with, because the wondering if it’s going to happen is sometimes the best part.
We know by the time we get to this book that a serious amount of the world’s future is on Orina’s shoulders, but Cassidy doesn’t make it easy on herself and stick to one storyline. There’s also the mystery of supernaturals going missing, what’s happening with Padma, and a handful of scary events that Orina and her friends come across that lead them to have even more questions. This book was never boring, constantly had me guessing (and still does), and all through it had me laughing, yelling, and even doing a bit of crying. It’s rough on the heart, but it’s more than worth it!
**It’s important to note there is a scene that uses torture by a super evil being, and does include sexual assault**

Reap The Night is the third book in The Order of Helsing series, and it does not disappoint! I was thrilled to see the continued evolution of Orina's character and especially, her relationship with Ezekiel. At the end of book two, I didn't feel a strong connection between the two of them as much as I did with her and Kaster, but in this book, their bond really comes together, and I loved watching that develop.
I was and still am very invested in Orina's relationship with Kaster. Their connection is intimate, but unlike Ezekiel's, Kaster's presence is safe and comforting, providing a much-needed contrast to Ezekiel's chaotic and intense volatility. It adds a lovely layer of depth to the story and to Orina's relationships.
I am looking forwards to more of the brothers as well, there is so much that can happen and I am longing for that to happen, particularly with Hemlock. Lorenzo, oh yes please! His appearance made me very very happy! No spoilers! I am so looking forwards to what comes next there.
I really enjoyed the uncovering of details in the story, which of course only adds to the need for more things to be uncovered not even mentioning the supporting characters and subplots. I have already read through it twice and nope! still nothing new!
I am looking forwards to more of Orina's lineage and how all this fits into what story there is now. Cliffhanger after cliffhanger, so much more story is needed! Definitely hooked and require more and already waiting for book 4!

😮💨 this book put me through the emotional wringer. Orina get a metaphorical slap in the face but persevered through it by throwing herself into her job. She tries to distance herself from Ezekiel so they are strictly professional, and she’s having mixed feelings about it, but he’s also making it difficult.
Her relationship with Ordell takes a turn that makes my messed up little heart happy, and even Hemlock seems to be warming up, even if it seems unwillingly sometimes.
Kaster on the other hand has been her saving grace with all the stress from the castle. She has struggled so much with relationships, but Kaster seems to be too good to be true in that aspect. I can’t wait to see what happens with them, even if there is a little heartbreak along the way.
What I think I love most about this series is that the relationships and whatnot all seem to be side stories, because her job is her whole life. She didn’t find herself attracted to men, and jump all in, first chance. She regularly talks sense into herself that her job, and life in it, is more important to her than anything else. It makes some of the book even more heartbreaking, but I’m so excited to see what happens with that in the end. With Ordell and Hemlocks origin reveal, I really hope they can have enough pull to change some things.
I’m also intrigued by what will happen with Lorenzo Crescent and his big reveal as well. This book had one huge cliff hanger at the end, and I just about lost my mind that the author did us like that. I need to know what happens and if people are okay. 🥺

Reap the night by Debbie Cassidy book 3 in Order of Helsing.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶🌶💀
What a plot twist!
Orina's dealing with the loss of not being Arabella and not saving the world, throws herself wholeheartedly into solving the missing supernaturals case. But first twist unravels everything. Then twist 2 happens that has you scratching at your head where does this fit in and THEN!? Then twist no 3 is like oh so that's why but wtf!!
As emotional as this book is, it can't compare to the plot twists, revelations and interested men. Reap the night leaves you high on excitement and need for the next book. Best part is that side characters stories are just as exciting and mysterious. I wholeheartedly hope we get spin-off.
Tropes
Vampire. Paranormal. Dub con. Virgin. Fated. Police procedural. Fae. Magic. Cliffhanger
Quotes
“Your curse—”“Will still be there next rising. Maybe if I hadn’t met you first, maybe then I would have been charmed by this pawn in a game I don’t fully understand, but for once in my achingly long existence, I have something that is mine.” He pressed his hand to his chest. “My choice entirely.”“Don’t…”“You. Orina, I want you.” His tone softened, his gaze questing. “Can I have you for this year?”
She slips into her room and closes the door. I should go now, but something holds me in place for long seconds, and then I hear it—the sounds of her heart-breaking sobs. I can’t help but hate us for what we’ve done to this poor soul.

I remember being extremely pissed off about the ending of the second book… At the beginning of this book did not make me feel any better… There’s nothing more that I hate in a story than other woman or cheating drama.… So that is a trigger for you than just push your way through the pain because the second half of the book is worth it! The ending of this book gave me chills! And now I’m sad that I have to wait however many months to find out the conclusion to the story. There are so many questions that I have that are unanswered… I have suspicions about some of the questions but good Lord Almighty everything is up in a jumbo right now and I need answers ASAP! Orina, that poor girl just goes through it in this book not like she didn’t go through it in the first two books… But this one hurt my heart for her… And I am still so invested in the side character stories that I need a book all about Padma please… And the men in Orina’s life… there were so many delectable choices… This is why I love a white true story… I want her to end up with all of them because they are all good for her in one way or another. So I’m hoping then and look for I get what I wish for…. My heart hurts so much for these MMC’s… They go through so much too and the author does a fantastic job with making me go through the emotional roller coaster right along with them.

Wow! There's a LOT to digest in this book. There's some questions from the previous books answered and there's definitely more spice in this book too!
This book dives right back into where the last book left off where Orlina is faced with yet another task where she's asked to sacrifice again for the Order and the "greater good".
Orlina really comes into her own and learns to lean on her friends and found family. There are multiple love interests (some still at the potential level only at the end of the story so, they may or may not further in the next book)
My favorite mmc in this book would have to be Kaster. He was so sweet to Orlina and so supportive throughout the story and what she goes through. Ezekial and Ordell are tied as they both have things to offer to Orlina. Ordell as the sweet yet tough "mate" and Ezekial as the obsessive protector.
I really do feel for Ezekial in this book and understand more of why he's acted the way he has in the past and I do hope there's a HEA that comes about so, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in the story next.
I love how we get more of the side characters POV and how they're tying into the story more as well.
I definitely recommend this series if you love plot filled romance with some intermittent spice too!

Reap the Night by Debbie Cassidy is book three in the Order of Helsing Series. After the cliffhanger in the last book I was eager to start this one… only to be smacked in the face by a bigger cliffhanger. Needless to stay you must read this series in order as these books aren’t standalones. That being said; I gave my kindle a workout with this book, I was eager for every scrap of information that was dropped… while I was excited for the answers to questions from the earlier books but now I’m left with a whole new set that needs to be answered. I enjoyed getting more with the side characters; it just adds something more. I do say I’m intrigued where everything with Orina is going to lead because I thought I had an idea or two but the author surprised me. There’s definitely more twists and turns in this book. I also liked her leaning on her friends and family as that was nice to read. Gosh I found myself really feeling for Ezekial especially after those flashbacks. I thought this book was written well and it held my attention pretty much throughout the book. I’m looking forward to the next book to see where it leads. I would definitely recommend this series if your a fan of enemies to lovers, found family, secrets and intrigue.

This book has just left me in amazement. I do t even know where to begin without giving away any spoilers. So the revelation from the last book is not what it seems and we learn that there was some trickery there but we don’t know by whom. I was so confused at how they had gotten it so wrong but as it started unfolding I knew there was something weird going on. I love that my instincts on that were right. Sadly it seems Orina is just not getting her happy ending yet though. We see some ups and downs with her, Ezekiel, Ordell and Hemlock but when one piece seems to fall into place others fall apart. We learn more about Ezekiel and his curse. I kind of feel bad for him and what he’s been through. Like it explains some of why he is the way he is. Let’s not forget that I’m seeing another guy that’s probably going to be joining the group. I did not expect this when he was introduced but the further we got into this story I am pretty positive that’s where it is heading. Lastly that ending was a shocker. I am still trying to figure out how we are getting around this and how they get to a happy ending but it seems like it’s pretty far off. I am really looking forward to the next book and hoping to see how this next complication unfolds

I remember when I started this series, I wasn’t instantly in love with it. That all changed though the moment the series started growing. Right now, I believe it might actually become a favorite of mine. One of the reasons for that, is that this series is starting to combine some of the real strengths of this author’s writing in a way she hasn’t done before (or I haven’t noticed it that clearly).
It has a why choose relationship building, but with lots of the emotions and angst I recognize from her MF work. It has the found family I love so much in the same MF work, but with the relationship building of a why choose storyline. So, in a way, this series is a combination of the best of two worlds. As a result, I feel so many emotions while reading this book, it leaves me on a rollercoaster vibe without a real ending in sight. I have no clue where this story is ultimately going; the twists and turns leave me disoriented and I can’t wait to find out what will be next.
Once again this author managed to create a captivating storyline, with so many turns the ending has become a true mysterie to unravel.

It has the found family I love so much in the same MF work, but with the relationship building of a why choose storyline. So, in a way, this series is a combination of the best of two worlds. As a result, I feel so many emotions while reading this book, it leaves me on a rollercoaster vibe without a real ending in sight. I have no clue where this story is ultimately going; the twists and turns leave me disoriented and I can’t wait to find out what will be next.

Reap The Night (Order of Helsing Book 3) by Debbie Cassidy is an outstanding addition to this series. This installment continuously keeps me on my toes, filled with surprises and twists that challenge my expectations at every turn. While many mysteries are unraveled, just as many new questions emerge, keeping the intrigue alive.
Orina's character experiences significant growth throughout this book, showing resilience in the face of upheaval. The narrative is engaging, and the excellent character development, paired with exceptional world-building, makes this series even more captivating. Although the steam is relatively low, the drama is plentiful, adding depth to the story. I am eagerly anticipating Orina’s well-deserved happy ending, which I believe is going to be incredibly satisfying after all the trials she has endured alongside us.
If you're a fan of dark paranormal romances packed with action and rich themes of found family, vampires, curses, and betrayals, then Debbie Cassidy's Reap The Night is the perfect read for you! Be sure to start with the earlier books in the series to fully appreciate this phenomenal journey.

This is book 3 of the series, and you need to have ready the previous books first.
Just when you think you know where the story is growing, something happens, and it changes everything.
I've enjoyed this series from the beginning. All the different things going on that you just know are going to link into each other, but you don't know how.
Kaster is my favourite of the guys, I really hope he plays a big part in Orina's story going forward. Hemlock is also starting to grow on me more, as she spend a lot of her time with him, Her relationship with Ezekiel seems to bounce from love to hate to love, but she finds out so much about his time with Loviator.
This series has been very low spice, but things change (a little) in this book. I'm still not sure if it's MF or RH, but I'm leaning to RH now.
There is so much still to discover, and not just with Oriana, but also her found family.
Another cliffhanger to take us into book 4.
** Trigger warning **
contains dub con , self-harm, attempt kidnapping, attempt SA

The third book in this series brings a string of breakthroughs and revelations for Orina that shock her, shake her to the core, and force her to make very difficult decisions. Now, her life is completely changed, but also her eyes are much more open and the understanding of Ezekiel's situation significantly improved. Yet with more information come also more dangers, and now even deadlier than before..
I absolutely love this series. Fast paced, complex story, that feels so real I sometimes think I am a direct part of it, just standing aside as an observer. Amazing world building. Brilliant writing that breathes emotions and sensations. Scenes that feel almost tangible. The characters are great, I have definitely bonded with Orina already long ago, have my feelings for Ordell and Hemlock, would cherish Kastor if I could, and Ezekiel... okay, let's say I still haven't forgotten his attitude and accepted everything, but I understand him much more, and just like Orina I can also start opening up a bit. Can't for the next book after that cliffhanger!

Hace ya varios días que terminé este libro y me ha costado un montón poder decidirme en su valoración. Pensé en las 5 estrellas porque realmente es adictivo. Hace mucho tiempo que un libro no me atrapaba de esta manera, buscando los espacion más insólitos de tiempo para continuar la lectura.
Pero a pesar de lo anterior, no puedo pasar por alto algunas cosas que me siguen molestando; sin duda la protagonista es una de ellas. A todo lo que he comentado en las entregas anteriores de esta serie, ahora se le suma que, al haber renunciado a su "bendición", su apetencia sexual es insaciable y cada hombre en su radio de acción es una potencial víctima (y más encima se molesta cuando alguno se le resiste).
Lo otro, que no me logra convencer, es que si bien la trama está bien hilvanada, los hechos suceden como por arte de magia (bueno, tal cual). Pero a lo que me refiero es que cuando la situación de los personajes es insostenible ¡zaz!, pasa algo que viene de la nada y todo se resuelve. Todo demasiado servido.
En todo caso y sin duda, es una lectura muuuuuy entretenida.

Debbie left us with quite the cliff hanger in the last book, and this follow up ended on an even BIGGER cliff hanger.
Part of me was hoping this was the final book as I haven't had the emotional span to invest in a series that isn't completed that is more than three books. But after starting and finishing this book, I am glad there is more.
Besides the relationships of Orina, Ordell, Hemlock and Ezekial, we get more page time of Merry, Edwin, and Padma, and I am itching to get more of their story. Especially our dear half fae Merry. What hidden secrets does she have? What is Crush hiding? And what is happening to our sweet Godor???
Get ready for more twists and turns....
Spice: 1.5/5 (Finally some action! Definitely not the focus though)
M/F-Why Choose....Still unsure...Leaning towards the latter
Triggers: We get flashbacks of Ezekial's time with L and there is brief mentions of SA, and torture. Self flogging, attempted kidnapping and SA to MCF.

The way I absolutely blew through this book is UNREAL. So freaking much happens, so many things revealed and yet more questions and problems arise (in true Debbie Cassidy fashion). It's like every single word had me on the edge of my seat!
And the layers to this world and story... holy crap. I finished the book and wanted to crawl up to the author on my knees begging for crumbs of wisdom and talent because man does she have it in spades! She makes writing such an impressively epic, sexy book look effortless and as a writer, I am an incredible awe.
I've discovered so much amazing talent (among indie authors especially), but Debbie Cassidy is still firmly the best writer I have ever seen. I adore every single one of her works and will be getting the books from this world (so yes, all 3 series) as physical copies to more fully cherish and pour over time and time again. Do not sleep on this author and her stunning books!

*Reverse Harem
*Paranormal
*Multi-PoV
*Vampire enemies
*Human protectors
*Mystery Curse
*Guilds
*Building Harem (3/4?)
*Slow Burn
*Book 3/?
Serious ups and downs! 😮
There’s plenty to get your head around in this book, it’s constant from the first to last page 🙈
Orina has to acknowledge the emotions and feelings she’s been trying to hide and the fate of the world might just be in the hands of her accepting those feelings 😳 although it’s clear that Kaster is head over heels and will do anything for our girl 🥰 between Ezekiel and the brothers she’s pulled from pillar to post not only that she has the missing people to find, infections to dispel and it’s turns out her own lineage to unpack… plenty to keep you page turning! Not only that but we get the smeggsual development in this book although that’s not without its consequences 😅 it’s going to be interesting to see how this all develops in the coming books 😁

I inhaled this book! It was my favorite of the whole series! It was everything you would expect from Debbie Cassidy. So much freaking happens in this book and so much more is explained for all the characters. But Debbie leaves us hanging with a big cliffhanger that she is known for. There are so many more aspects that need answers and I can't wait for the final book.
The best part is we got to see more of Padma, Edwin and Merry with a few more characters thrown in. I want more of these characters as we get to know them better. Poor Merry and her amnesia....what secrets is she hiding? What about Crush??? There are some mysteries to him as well. And Godor....what is he changing into???? We finally got some much-needed spice it was EPIC! I loved the relationship that was building between Orina and Kaster. He is such a good guy for her and I hope Debbie gives them an HEA as well as with the other 3. I can't wait for book 4!

I read this in a day, after reading the prior two in as many days. I'm obsessed. The fact that this isn't a finished series, and this book ends so abruptly, is the worst news I've had all year.
Everyone really starts to gel in this book. We're finding out more of the story (excluding the new twist) and our girl finally gets to get some. (But still, continuing the "everyone is flawed and keeps hurting each other" trend from the prior books.) I'm still not entirely sure who will end up in her harem, and it doesn't feel like one more book is enough to wrap everything up, so hopefully there's a couple more coming.
I'm honestly in love with all the characters, which is a rarity. This is the first series I've read from this author, it does seem like a lot of the other characters are set up for their own series spin-offs, so I'll have to investigate the other works while I wait for the next one in this series.

Reap the Night - Secrets, Revealed and Multiplied
‘He wanted to know how long it would take for me to fall in love. How long to break the curse. “It creeps up on you, I think. From what I know…from what I’ve heard.” “You’ve never—” “No. No, I haven’t. It wasn’t really an option so…But I want to. Now that I can.” I touched my arm. “Love can be a blessing too, right?” “Yes, I suppose it can.” “Then I’ll allow it to have me. To creep up on me and claim me.”
Orina continues to find herself dangerously placed as the only being who can break Ezekial’s curse, in Debbie Cassidy’s Reap the Night. But there are still so many obstacles…ones that include Ezekial’s brothers and Kaster, too. All the men are drawing on Orina’s heartstrings while she juggles her power in an attempt to free each of them from their own curses, and still keep her mind and heart safe!

Honestly, this entire book I felt like I was paragliding during a storm - being blown this way and that way and it was glorious!
I loved that this book managed to shock me - I thought I knew where the story was going - I thought wrong!
Orina found out some answers in this one - however it only seemed to open the abyss to more questions!
The relationships really develop in this book and I find myself loving a certain character much more than the others! The spice level kicks up a small notch too!
So many fibres to this story and after the cliffhanger that was I really want to see how they all end up twining together.
I thought Nyx's story was my favourite but Orina is definitely catching up.
Well worth the read and I might go back to see if I can find any tid-bits or hints in the first two...

I was eagerly anticipating Reap the Night, the third book in Debbie Cassidy's Order of Helsing series, and it did not disappoint! Cassidy's writing is as captivating as ever, weaving a compelling blend of action, suspense, and emotional depth. After the gut-wrenching cliffhanger in book 2, this installment continues to explore the complex relationship between Orian, the watcher, and Ezekiel, the vampire king. Orian is torn between her duty and the intense, growing bond with Ezekiel—will she be the one to set him free, or is her fate tied to his forever? The tension and emotional turmoil are palpable, and I couldn't put the book down. Reap the Night leaves readers on the edge of their seats, hungry for the next installment. I can't wait to see where Cassidy takes us next in this enthralling, unpredictable series!

I've been enjoying this series from the beginning. I think my favourite guy at the moment is Kaster and I'm really hoping this story will shift completely to RH at some point and that Orina gets all the guys. Odell and Hemlock are currently on my naughty list cause of what they did to Orina when they thought she wasn't the one, those boys have some grovelling to do for sure. And Ezekiel, well he's a whole other story.
We do finally find out more about the curse and what it entails and Orina does her very best to help get the curse lifted, even if it means walking away. There's a thing with the teapot and Padma, and then Mary I believe it was and Rush, I kinda want to know if those two and Rush's buddies get their own story.
We got another doozy of a cliffhanger at the end, and one I didn't see coming but am looking forwards to getting answers to in the next book.

OMG Debbie Cassidy what have you done to me…I swear my heart stopped over and over throughout this book. This is an epic continuation to this series that had me on the edge of my seat all the way through and turning the pages as quickly as I could! So much goes on in this book…not to give anything away…it is full of suspense, drama, twists and turns and men…irritating, complex and deadly men that have me one minute loving them for Orina and the next minute wanting to slap them for being twits! And is this RH or is it just one for Orina….i really need to know as there is so much tension between them all. And holy cliffhanger…that last chapter was intense and then that is it and waiting for book 4…I cannot wait for the next book! Debbie Cassidy is a brilliant author who really knows how to create worlds that are captivating and charters that have the reader completely enthralled.
