Midnight Walker
Humanity fades, vampires remain...
In a domed city under vampire rule, Mia keeps her head down as a house cleaner, avoiding trouble and living the life of an ordinary unfavorable. However, every day after her shift, she risks it all to visit the daughter she was contracted to forget. If the Conclave discovers her, they’ll string her from the overpass, the ultimate punishment for those who break the Accords.
She’s convinced playing it safe is the only way to protect the truth about Charlie—until an assignment backfires, a vampire loses control, and Mia is forced to stake him in self-defense. The first vampire lord to die in centuries, the Bloodhounds track her down. Worse, they take her daughter, too.
With nowhere to run but the city’s underbelly, Mia must decide between trusting the dangerous allies who could betray her or relying on a mother’s love to be her only weapon against an unstoppable force.
Perfect for fans of The Last of Us and The Passage by Justin Cronin!

That love swiftly turned into a passion for writing to the point that I opted to become homeschooled sophomore year of high school so I could dedicate my time to writing and self-publishing my first book at just sixteen. BUT I’ll do you all a favor and keep that one to myself - spoiler alert: it was awful.

ARC review: There are so many twists in this book, down to even the last page!! I could not put it down; I read it in two days. In a post apocalyptic world run by vampires, Mia has one goal: to protect her daughter. She encounters many obstacles along the way. She makes enemies and friends, and even an enemy who turns into a friend. Her biggest strength is her determination to keep her daughter safe, and as a mom, I was here for it. The world is layered with a complex hierarchy of vampires, half breeds, humans, and ferals. The pacing was *chef’s kiss* — something big is literally happening on every page.
Something I liked about the romance is that each individual keeps their autonomy and their primary goal in sight. They do make sacrifices, and they work as a team, but they also stay true to themselves. Super refreshing! At first I wasn’t sure why he takes an interest in Mia and Charlie, but it becomes clear later in the book (just a note in case you have similar thoughts when you read).
I recommend this to lovers of vampires, dystopian worlds, and stories of motherhood/parenthood.

Dystopian with a vampire element. Vampires are not my thing, but this book was compelling enough to keep me interested. Definitely not a run of the mill vampire romance book. Every page had me wanting to know more.
I enjoyed the world building.
I love that the book had no swearing or spice.
I hope there will be more!

This book was good since page one, one of those you can't put down. Every twist and turn made you wanna pull your hair out or maybe just keep on reading to find out. Mia had one goal: get her daughter and keep her safe. But in the process she found so many obstacles, found out so many things, but never gave up. This one has adventure, creatures, magic, and more. The story line, the characters, the system it build was wow. A book that can keep you focus and wanting more until the Epilogue? Its a big YES for me and it should be for you too.

4 Stars.
🩸The vibes:
- Post apocalyptic
- Vampires
- Dystopian
- The love of a mother
- Closed door (kisses only)
🩸My thoughts:
This book starts 800+ years in the future. Vampires reign, half breeds are exiled and hunted, and humans are enslaved and sorted according to their blood type.
🩸I was immediately invested in the apocalyptic set up and drawn into Mia’s storyline. The writing pulled me in so quick! I felt fully invested and couldn’t put this down. I found the story to be very unique. The focus on how far mother’s love will go was so good. I wouldn’t say this is a full blown romance but there’s definitely a love story there.
🩸I don’t want to get into much more because there are so many twist and turns that I don’t want to spoil. This book kept me on my toes and kept me turning the pages the entire time. I liked seeing a book that had vampires be the villains and kind of stay the villains. The love story was so different than a typical vampire falling in love with a human that we see a lot in paranormal books that involve vampires. This book gave me something totally different when it comes to vampires, which I liked.
🩸There were some moments that the world building felt a little bit brushed over, but I mostly felt like I knew enough to follow along with the story. I wasn’t sure if this is standalone or if there’s more coming because the story definitely had closure, but there was still a lot not answered. Which makes me think there has to be more coming.
🩸I don’t think this was perfectly executed, but I thought this was so much fun and the vibes were just so there for me. I will definitely be reading more from this author.

Review of advance copy
This was a wild ride! Ruling vampires, enslaved humans, outcast Half-breeds, cursed feral beasts, and a wolf!!
Omg this was such an amazing book!
After a pandemic broke out 800yrs ago and vampires have now taken power! Mia is trying her best to keep her head down but she’s the only one that remembers being forced to breed a child. She can’t help but steal glimpses and secretly watch her from afar even she knows that being caught could be her end.
„…it’s always worth the pain to see her. To know she’s still okay. To know she’s alive.
The pact I signed made me swear to relinquish all rights to the child I birthed. If [they] catch me, they’ll notify the Bloodhounds, who will hunt me down and string me from the overpass.“
This is a time so far into the future and so far from this reality that so much has been lost to the humans. They don’t know the truth to what has happened and is happening. Most have some skills to help them survive but they do not know how to read. But there are vampires and half-breeds that were at the breach 800years ago that remember everything.
I loved following Mia on her perilous journey to keep her daughter safe in uncertain times, and risk everything to trust those she was raised to fear.
„ ‚Family‘. I’ve heard the word a few times, but it has no meaning in today’s world. There are no families, only those we choose to trust“
This was a solid 4.5 star read and I cannot wait to read more by Charity F Nelson in the future! Definitely recommend this book if you are looking for post apocalyptic vibes!

This was so good!
That ending, I did not see it coming! I seriously hope there is another book as I NEED to see where this goes!
The story is set 800 years in the future after the human population was almost wiped out by a pandemic. Humans are suppressed as the lesser race, and severely controlled, with rank/job assigned based on your blood type. Females are forced to give birth to keep the human population growing, then forced to forget they ever had a child.
In this story we have Mia, our MFC, she is human and has been marked as undesirable or so she and everyone else believe, because of this she is a labourer in the outer city. She keeps her head down but is strong, resourceful, determined, and never forgot her little girl.
Then we have Christopher, our MMC, he’s different, forced to live underground by the vampires that now rule, he is the leader of an underground group left to fend for themselves. He is the strong silent type, loyal to those he has to lead, but this gets in the way at every opportunity.
This story is an epic adventure through adversity, living in a hostile world and being forced to be subservient. It’s about a mother’s love, survival, and doing whatever it takes. Trust is hard to come by and as secrets start to unravel, betrayal rears its ugly head, all while the truth comes to light… the pandemic that almost wiped out the human population was… you’ll have to read to find out! The story was gripping, action packed and thrilling, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story and desperately hope there is another instalment.

This book was a ride from start to finish, and I loved every second of it. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where a pandemic wiped out humanity 800 years ago, vampires now rule everything. Humans are kept alive as slaves, allowed to work only if they obey the laws of the Conclave.
We follow Mia, a mother who was forced to give birth for the vampires, only to have her baby ripped away the moment she was born. For years, Mia watches her daughter from afar, powerless to protect her… until something happens that makes both of them highly wanted by the Conclave. And that’s when everything explodes.
On the run, desperate and determined, Mia encounters people who might help her, but trusting anyone in this world is dangerous. The twists start early and do not let up, and that ending? Jaw. On. The. Floor. I immediately needed answers and am absolutely begging for a book two.
At its core, this story is about a mother’s love and the impossible things we’d do to protect our children. As a mom, this one hit hard. Mia has one goal, save her daughter, and she will burn the world down to do it.
I’ve read everything Charity has written so far, and she does not miss. I 100% recommend this book (and her entire backlist) to anyone who loves dark, emotional, twisty stories that stay with you long after the last page.

Midnight Walker by Charity F Nelson is a gritty story of hope in a dark, vampire controlled dystopia.
Mia has lived her whole life under the reign of the vampires, who treat humans not even as second class citizens but as cattle or slaves.
Mia's defining drive is love for her daughter -- brought about through a breeding program and quickly taken from Mia's arms to be raised by vampire caretakers until she's old enough to work, just like all human children.
Mia, a rule follower in every way who knows the Accords (vampire laws) by heart, gets accidentally swept into an underground rebellion that will change her life - and maybe all of humanity's - forever.
I really enjoyed the urban dystopia setting and the harsh descriptions of a life with one goal: survival.
I personally would have loved more details of Mia's childhood and more on the inter-human dynamics in general, but this story was unique and brought me in directions I absolutely did not expect.
The addition of the horrifying creatures underground, the halfling leader, and Dr Keith gave the story a unique edge and a lot of lore.
Ultimately, a really solid dystopian/urban fantasy read that will leave you questioning what's next.
⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had the wonderful opportunity to read this as an ARC.
I am always a sucker when it comes to vampires. Though Midnight Walker is not your typical vampire book full of the main character finding themselves head over heels for the new person in town-- typically always a vampire. N,o this novel is quite different than the normal code that most vampire books seem to follow. This novel involves vampires, yes, but also a post-apocalyptic world.
When I first started reading the book and reading The Accords that are provided at the very beginning of the book. My mind was taken to the anime world of Owari no Seraph (Seraph of the End). Which only made me more interested in digging into this novel.
The book introduces its main character, Mia. She seems to have no significance at first, just your average house cleaner. Yet there is so much more to her. This novel is her journey she endures to survive in the world that would sooner want to see her and her daughter, Charlie, dead.
Many twists and turns make this novel quite an interesting read.

4.5⭐️ Firstly, I knew I was going to like this book because Charity has become one of my most anticipated authors. This showed the same creativity Charity has that I loved in The Tempus Guild series. Obviously very different. It was a unique take on a dystopian, vampire ruling world. Charity has a way of putting just enough of a romance interest while leaving the story as the focus. There is a huge focus on the main character, Mia, being a mother and unable to have a relationship with her daughter, Charlie. It gave Mia more depth and strength as Charlie is always her priority. Especially when Mia kills a vampire lord and must now run to survive and manages to get Charlie out too. Twists and turns come left and right making you wonder how Mia is going to even survive at all. She stumbles upon a group of people in hiding and they may just be the help Mia needs.

I haven't read about vampires since the Twilight series, but I will admit they do fascinate me. I found Author Nelson's dystopian world, where vampires dominate human slaves, creative and intriguing.
Humans were categorized by how beneficial they were to the monsters, with their sweet O blood at the top and their A blood at the bottom. The vampires needed humans to survive, so they artificially inseminated certain female humans to keep the blood supply going. Yet when Mia, the FMC, somehow resisted the memory-loss drugs, all she could think about was saving her child. Every decision she made was centered on that singular drive, creating some crazy situations.
I could not put this book down, and as I neared the end with about thirty pages left, I wondered if this was meant to be a series, expecting a cliffhanger ending. Thankfully, everything came together in the end. It was faster than I expected, but it answered all my questions, which I appreciate.

Holy shit is the first thing that comes to mind after finishing this book. Seriously though it was insanely good and that’s saying alot because I actually hate vampire books but this was way more than just your basic vampire book. The storyline and plot was amazing the post apocalyptic world was the dark ages of vampires taking over and humans being slaves it’s crazy good. There’s so much action and intense emotions and hardships that they struggle with. The FMC is a badass and you will love her! I love this isn’t the basic vampire book but it’s deeper than that. There’s talk of curses and venom and mutations and half breeds and ferals and the hierarchy of the first vampires and it’s all just so detailed and interesting it makes you never want to put the book down and it keeps you constantly pulled in and ready for more. I will definitely be recommending this book it was so good it will not disappoint you!

I read a lot of dystopian books, so it’s always nice when you find one written with a different angle. Midnight Walker by Charity Nelson is one of those original dystopian books, and it was such a great book!
This standalone dystopian vampire book, where vampires enslave humans because they depend on them to survive, was action packed, and full of thrills. The FMC somehow manages to kill a couple of vampires, then takes her daughter, who has been under the control of the vampires, and tries to escape. What follows is a great story about a mother’s love and desire to protect her own, an underworld filled with non and half human creatures, a little bit of slow burn romance, and did I mention vampires? My heart was pounding in some of those scenes, the action was that intense.
And the epilogue was awesome. This was fun to read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will definitely be checking out more of this authors work!

✨Book Review✨
Midnight Walker by Charity F. Nelson
How much I loved it
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Not going to lie, I requested this ARC pretty blind because @readbykara told me to. She had read another book by the author and said she was amazing, so I requested it and got it!
I knew it was about vampires but beyond that I wasn’t sure what to expect, but man I loved it! This book is not a romance but it is a love story. It is a beautiful story about a mother’s love and willingness to do anything for their child.
It had some twists and turns I didn’t expect, and had lots to keep you coming back to find out what would happen. If you like post apocalyptic stories with monsters you will love this. There’s no swearing or spice, but there is talk of oppression, and it has some violence but I didn’t feel like it was too gross or descriptive.

Wow. This book is the absolute perfect blend of a dystopian aftermath mixed with vampires who need the surviving humans to live. Its full of twists and turns, angst and yearning, and a sprinkle of romance for those of us who like a little of that. The writing style is great and the plot kept me hanging on every word. I genuinely could not put this book down, not even to make myself eat. If you enjoy books with a fierce and strong MFC this is for you. Not to mention the MMC being the dark brooding softie type. I enjoyed the setting and descriptions of everything as well, the author really painted a gorgeous picture you could visualize easily. I genuinely will be telling all my friends about this book.
February 16, 2026
Completely obsessed with this book! An excellent dystopian novel about vampires with a cliff hanger at the end of every chapter. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough!
This is really a story about the lengths a mother goes through for her child. Mia truly did everything in her power to protect Charlie, including finding unlikely allies and fending off vampires and the feral. There’s also a light romance plot that I really enjoyed! This book takes place 800 years in the future from when a pandemic of vampirism plagued humankind.
Incredible story, amazing writing, highly recommend for your next dystopian read! Thank you Charity for the advanced copy! Midnight Walker is available now!!

Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) Review:
⭐️⭐️⭐️ PG
This was a compelling read. I enjoyed the mysteries that drove this story. In the end, the unknown is what keeps you turning pages.
The worldbuilding of post-apocalyptic earth was fascinating. Nelson did a great job giving you just enough information, bit by bit, not overwhelming the reader. Humans, vampires, half breeds, and a werewolf make up the corner of the world we glimpse in this book. But what awaits our characters at the end? There is more to be written for this story. I would definitely read on if Nelson continued this into a series.

If you like Vampire fantasy I feel you will definitely like this novel. At the beginning of the book there is a cool explanation of all the vampire accords. They are the rules for the humans. At the end there is a glossary of all the places and different types of vampires you meet in the book. The MFC Mia is like able and I connected with her over her love of her daughter.

Now thats a dystopian novel!!!! I swear this author just keeps topping her books. If you want Vampires, magic, and a woman who will do anything to protect the one she loves most. This shows book shows no matter what your choice matters and that humanity is not lost. The characters and world building will take your breathe away! This book had me turning the pages just to see what happens next.

Wow! This isn’t just another vampire book. It’s a dystopian society run by vampires with a human FMC whose primary goal is protecting her child. Absolutely loved rage world building, characters, and twists. Highly recommend this book!

Whoa! This was a pretty intense book. It was fascinating in its conception and its characters. I loved the fight of Mia's heart as a mother. I'll be honest the end did confuse me a bit, however, it does allude to a possible next book. I hope that is a potential.

ARC review. Amazing Distopian book. Vampires, humans and the end of time. Plot twists that I didn't expect. I will be recommending this book to my bookclub. Great read!

Impossible to put down from page one. In a post-apocalyptic world ruled by vampires, Mia will do anything to protect her daughter. Full of twists and turns up to the last page. A must read!

This was so interesting and differently done. The world felt layered and intense, and I constantly wanted more details about everything and everyone. The tension had me second guessing what was really going on the entire time, which made it impossible to put down.
And that ending?! What even was that?! I’m still thinking about it and I absolutely need a sequel. There’s so much more to uncover, and I am not ready to leave this world yet.

“Sometimes, thinking is what keeps us from taking chances. Doing is what gets us to the other side.”
I loved Charity’s other series, so when she posted about this book I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. It’s PERFECT for anyone looking for a unique vampire story, without spice, and no swearing. I was immediately intrigued from the first page, and the more I read the more I NEEDED answers (this made it SOOO hard to put down). I honestly couldn’t guess what was going to happen, and each time I tried I was wrong. At one point my jaw literally dropped. I really enjoyed the world building and the depth of the characters. It gave me I am Legend vibes in someways, but I liked this better 🤣. Some of my favorite things about this story was the mother daughter bond, the subtle romance, and the doctor (If you know you know, and if you don’t you’ll find out).
