Midnight Whispers is book three in the Midnight Manor series. Although this is a series, each book can be read individually.

I have never read a book by P. Rayne prior to Midnight Whispers and did not find myself lost without reading the first two books in the series.

P. Rayne excels at pulling you in from the very first page, and I found myself flying through this book. It was a short read, but I never felt bored because it was very fast-paced.

However, I did struggle connecting with the writing. At times, the writing felt off to me and came off cheesy. Other than that small issue, I really enjoyed this book.

Cinder and Nero are a match made in heaven. They get one another and understand each other on a whole different level. They do not judge one another for their traumatic pasts or their current issues. They listen and support one another.

Cinder is the sweetest and is really resilient with all the crap that life threw at her. She is thoughtful, understanding, compassionate, helpful, and kindhearted.

Nero, even though he has stalkerish vibes, he does come off as a hopeless romantic that wants Cinder to know she is loved in any shape or form. He goes out of his ways to make her happy, her dreams come true, and to make her feel a part of his family.

Midnight Whispers is a dark romance fairytale retelling, but I found this to be on the lighter side of a dark romance. Still, check trigger warnings prior to diving in.

I'm curious about the other Voss' brothers and will pick up the first two books to learn more about Asher and Kol. Plus, I'm curious about Sid with how this book ended.
