ARC received from St Martin's Press/St Martin's Griffin via Netgalley for an honest review

You need to have read the first two books, Night Owl and Last Light prior to reading After Dark - review may be a bit spoilery if you haven't!!

I love those mornings when I get an email saying a book I have been impatiently waiting for is available for me to read.

And boy, was I impatient for After Dark! After the way Last Light ended I needed to know what happened next.

And as with this whole series, what you expected is not always what you are going to get.

After Hannah's proposal at the end of Last Light, things are going to be easy for her and Matt - right?

Nothing in their relationship has ever been sweet and easy, and we are again taken on an emotional rollercoaster as Hannah and Matt struggle with the every day.

More than once - well truthfully, most of the book - I wanted to slap some sense into our wonderful Night Owl. The way he treated our little Bird frustrated me, angered me, made me sad. I know it is how he has always been, but OMG it was ramped up to the max here!

There are plenty of emotional moments in Last Light - some expected but some completely blind sided me! Like a punch to the gut, completely took the wind out of my sales.

So can their lives back in the limelight be happy times, or will they be too much for our lovers? Will their love survive?

Nuh uh, for that you are going to have to read this series for yourself.

Oh, and I have to say that I really enjoyed the epilogue!!

I have been drawn into this series from the minute I first opened Night Owl. I have anxiously awaited each new instalment, needing to know what was going to happen next. Thank you M. Pierce for bringing Matt and Hannah into my life.

Now this series is over (sad face), I am looking forward to what we get next.
