Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer
5.0

I had very high expectations for this book, not only because I had heard so many good thing about it, but also because I absolutely loved A Curse So Dark and Lonely. I am very pleased to say that Defy the Night exceeded my expectations in every way possible! The character are stunningly developed, the plot is intricately weaved, and the cover is gorgeous!

I was taken on a roller coaster of emotions: I cried, laughed, sat on the edge of my seat, you name it. I am so happy that I was sucked into this world, and I can't wait to jump back in for the sequel.

Tessa and Corrick's relationship is so spectacularly done, I have no words. It is forgiving, honest, and each person is held accountable for their mistakes. Tessa is a strong young woman that I would kill to be friends with and Corrick is a haunted young man who I would strongly suggest taking a spa day. Both characters come together in such a well written way, and while they depend on each other, they are strong by themselves as well.

I just loved this book so much and I wish I had the next book with me right now. If you haven't already, I highly suggest reading it immediately. Brigid Kemmerer once again blew me away with her world building, dynamic characters, and driven plot. I can't wait to see what she does next!

Lots of love!
