The next chapter in the Bewitched and Bewildered series is about to begin.
Meryn and Beth have been summoned by Beth’s uncle and council elder, Magnus Rioux to the vampire’s pillar city of Noctem Falls. Meryn in a city of vampires, what could go wrong? Aiden and Gavriel are about to find out.
Eva Mae Miller has been around for a long time. But never in all of her centuries has she ever had to turn to vampires for sanctuary. But when whole paranormal families begin disappearing in her quiet Texas suburb, Eva knows that it’s time to set her pride aside and join the other refugees heading to Noctem Falls for protection.
Adriel Aristaios doesn’t know what to make of the small human his commander is mated to. Bethy assures him that Meryn is sane, but he’s not so sure. Magnus must be out of his mind bringing a pregnant human and precious Bethy back to the City of the Night, just as things are about to get ugly. To complicate matters he’s pretty sure the sassy, blonde shifter who has just arrived is his mate. How can he possibly do his duty and protect their Prince, when he has not only his commander’s mate and little Bethy to guard, but also the woman who has stolen his heart.
When racial tensions threaten to boil over and sink the city in chaos, Adriel surprisingly finds himself relying on wacky little Meryn and his mate to help keep things from turning violent. But as more information comes to light, it’s clear that someone is out to destroy his city. The question is will they find them in time?

I didn't know how I would feel about this book before I started it. My wariness was based on this new setting: Noctem Falls, the Pillar City of Night. Its population predominantly consists of vampires, plus it's underground. I thought I would feel uncomfortable with this foreign place, along with new characters I have no idea what to expect from.
However, I should know by now that Alanea Alder will always please many other readers and myself with this series. Meryn is still up to her antics, making new friends with hilarious characters, and kicking jerkwads' butts. Actually, I feel like this book had a big dose of Meryn, but that could just be my personal opinion. Maybe it's just that I focused on her the most because of her vibrant personality. There's nothing to fear; the other characters that are there are still mentioned aplenty.
The only things I didn't like, or missed, about this book are the presence of the rest of Lycaonia's unit warriors and their mates, as well as how short this book was for me. I NEED MORE. Oh, there was also this little misunderstanding throughout the book that kind of annoyed me but it was resolved in the end in a satisfying manner. Again, thank you Alanea Alder.
