The Arbiter
Updated with a brand new cover and bonus content!
"She is too sinful to be Divine and too righteous to be Damned."
Nocturna; a hybrid, an all-around smart ass, and the owner of The Apothecary, a night club for all the denizens that walk the earth to play amongst humans, is about to have her life altered by the Creator of all. The last Arbiter has fallen and a new one must be chosen, one of both Divine and Damned blood. She will be both judge and executioner for the supernatural races, choosing how to punish or bless the souls brought before her. Within her first week with her new status, Damned from all over are disappearing and disturbing videos of Damned being tortured and killed are surfacing. When Lord Monroe, one of The Infernal leaders of the Damned, becomes one of those who are missing, the Damned begin to point their fingers at The Rites; the Divine soldiers who are part of The Order of Abel. The clock is ticking, and it is her responsibility to find who is responsible and pass judgement. With the help of Enoch, an Infernal of the Damned, and Larkan, a Rite of the Order, Nocturna travels to Lord Monroe's estate, hoping to find clues as to what happened to him and all the others. Her integrity and her heart will be pushed and pulled in all directions as she faces the biggest dilemma of her existence; can she make the decision that is right for the lives of all, not the decision that is easiest for her. Will she stay true and lead the world into peace? Or will she choose sides like all the Arbiters before her and lead them all to destruction?
**This is a Reverse Harem Dark Romance that is recommended for ages 18+. There are elements of violence, such as torture and a body count, and steamy scenes that are sure to light you on fire. If you’re into that sort of thing, then boy do we have the book for you!

This is kind of difficult to review because I didn’t really care for it, but I didn’t hate it either hence finishing it.
The plot is pretty cool but Nocturna is… difficult to like. I’m not fully sure why, besides her lack of communication with the men she “cares” for. Like clearly the dream was important but nooo, we’re just going to keep that tidbit to ourselves to “figure out” *rolls eyes*
The drama with Enoch was just that too. Neither one wanted to hash out their issues, yet couldn’t leave each other alone. Granted, anytime Enoch stepped foot near her, she was ready to physically and verbally attack him.
I don’t know, while I’m curious to know how everything plays out, I’m not sure if I’ll be reading the next book.
