The first novel in this series starring Blythe and her Halloween Boys was the story of Blythe and Ghost. Now we follow Blythe and Dragon (Onyx) as they explore their personal relationship through the dynamics of their polyamorous group. As each new book introduces a new dynamic, we still have POV’s from previous characters, which meant this novel oscillated between Blythe, Ghost, and now included Dragon’s POV as well.

With the revelation of what kind of monster Blythe is, and why she fits so well with the Halloween Boys, the group is faced with a major ‘what’s next’ decision. Through lots of scheming and mostly understandable betrayal on Onyx’s part, he and Blythe are whisked away to the world of the vampires.

I’m really enjoying how Blackthorne has set up each novel so that we get a distinct look at each character. We get to explore not only their present predicaments, but also their backstories and what led up to these moments with Blythe. Dragon’s history, and this hidden world of the vampires, was absolutely fascinating. The ethereal, cunning, delectable vibes of this book settled so deeply into my soul as a connoisseur of vampire myths and legends.

I loved how much of this story was centered on Onyx/Dragon coming to terms with himself and his monsters, as well as how he expressed his unwavering love for Blythe. This story was a fantastic second installment in this series, and I’ve got to admit I’m falling for the Halloween Boys just as hard as our heroine.
