Put together, all these forms are the vast spiral of information that defines us, guides our growth, and makes sure our future looks like our past - they are the DNA of the Night Watch.”īorn place: in Dallas, Texas, The United States (The form for commandeering a genuine NYC garbage truck may be thirty-four pages long, but one day I will think of some reason to fill it out, I swear to you.) There are even forms that activate other forms or switch them off, that cause other forms to mutate, thus bringing newly formed forms into the world. There are forms with which to requisition peep-hunting equipment, from tiger cages to Tasers. There are forms that make things happen, from installing rat traps to getting lab work done. There are forms that tell the Night Mayor's office what we hunters are doing - starting an investigation, ending one, or reaching various points along the way. You see, like every other department in the city, Records runs on Almighty Forms.

And, we get to spend some time with some of my most intriguing Midnight Dynasty favorites- I love the little crossover moments. I’m loving how she continues to subtly work in clever references to the original story- our pumpkin and our fairy godmother have quite the transformation. Will Cinderelliott make it to the ball and can she hold the attention of the kinky anti-prince charming? K Webster treats us to another captivating and twisting story that I could not put down. This story is a deliciously wicked seduction.Īfter the erotic masterpiece that was book one, our feisty and quirky heroine was in a bit of a pickle as she is yet again at the mercy of conniving men, including her wicked terror triplet stepbrothers. And book 2 lives up to the hype- I am even more ravenous for these characters and their sordid and twisted tryst - a tryst that is becoming increasingly substantial and complex with every passing page. Stroke of Midnight was one of the stand-out stories of me for 2020- sexy, taboo, intense, highly creative and mind blowingly original- a total addiction. I have been on pins and needles just waiting for the next book in this series. 5/12/2023 0 Comments Pig Boy by J.C.
