~ Book Review ~ Reap the Night by Debbie Cassidy

Reap the Night (Order of Helsing, Book 3)
by Debbie Cassidy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Description ~

Once the vampire king stakes his claim, there’s no escape.

I thought I could save Ezekiel, but I was wrong.

It isn’t me he needs.

Ariella, the woman gifted to him by the House of Spirit, is the key to breaking his curse. I need to step aside to allow the mystical forces that bind them to get to work.

It’s time to leave Branwood Castle for good.

As I dive back into my role as head of Chapter and my work on the missing people case, my friendship with Kaster Black begins to bloom into something more. And just when I believe that I’m healing from losing my place at Ezekiel’s side, I’m proven wrong.

The vampire king may have allowed me to leave, but he will never let me go.

~ My Review ~
5 out of 5 Stars

Wow. That was quite a ride! If you ever wondered, “What else could Debbie Cassidy possibly put me – or Orina – through that she hasn’t already?” Well, you certainly get your answer in this one, and probably regret that you asked. The answer is A LOT. It’s not just an emotional rollercoaster; it’s non-stop. Every character has something crazy going on, and of course, Orina’s in the middle of it all. 

With the previous book leaving us on a shocking cliffhanger, Debbie Cassidy just continued on with the shocking turns, and never let up. Orina had a lot thrown at her in this one, and just kept rolling with the punches, on to the next crisis. I would’ve run from her job from the first page of the first book, but not Orina. Of course, in this one her job continues to get increasingly more dangerous, and with that, less and less black and white. Her heart gets twisted and tangled several times, and if you think it’s just over Ezekiel or Ordell, oh how nice it would be if it was only them; and her devotion to the Order gets tested like no other time.

 If you’re looking for a book where the author holds nothing back on the sex scenes, yet doesn’t overdo it, gets super spicy and creative, and makes sure there’s more than two scenes, this is 100% your book. I read A LOT of romance – it’s my job. But this one even had me blushing a few times. As you may expect by the time you get to this book, it’s not just one guy she’s with through the whole book, either. But I’m not telling who she’s with, because the wondering if it’s going to happen is sometimes the best part.

 We know by the time we get to this book that a serious amount of the world’s future is on Orina’s shoulders, but Cassidy doesn’t make it easy on herself and stick to one storyline. There’s also the mystery of supernaturals going missing, what’s happening with Padma, and a handful of scary events that Orina and her friends come across that lead them to have even more questions. This book was never boring, constantly had me guessing (and still does), and all through it had me laughing, yelling, and even doing a bit of crying. It’s rough on the heart, but it’s more than worth it!

 **It’s important to note there is a scene that uses torture by a super evil being, and does include sexual assault**
