“This complex storyline is why I continue to return to Grantโ€™s books again and again.”
~ Under the Covers

DARK ALPHAโ€™S NIGHT is book five in the Reapers series. Although this is a fairly newer series by Donna Grant, the worldbuilding is vast and complex. I wouldnโ€™t suggest reading this series out of order. Thereโ€™s too much backstory and worldbuilding for any newcomer to just walk in and enjoy. However, this complex storyline is why I continue to return to Grantโ€™s books again and again.

That being said, I do generally enjoy the hero and heroines that Grant comes up with. They are always such steady characters with a whole lot of heart. Although there are their personal obstacles, it doesnโ€™t stand in the way of the politics of the world. So I do think that Grant does a good job of balancing both the external and internal conflicts.

Thereโ€™s quite a lot of reference to the Dark Kings series so if you havenโ€™t read that series, youโ€™re basically shit out of luck. I think it will be very confusing if you donโ€™t read both series and I think thatโ€™s the double-edged sword of this series. Since I read both series, itโ€™s a wonderful experience because the plot becomes so rich. However, if youโ€™re just dabbling in this world, you will definitely miss out on all the details of the plot. So I very strongly urge that you read both series.

The only negative thing about this book I will say is that the beginning does that a bit to warm up. Itโ€™s much slower than her previous books so Iโ€™m hoping that the pacing gets better for the future books.

  1. It annoys me when authors do that. I almost feel pressured to read the previous series so I usually juat avoid them. This is not always good for me becuase I may miss out on a good series. Ah well.
