Book Review
In the continuing saga from Joss Ware’s Embrace the Night Eternal, we are reintroduced to Simon and Sage.
Simon has been battling to keep secrets of his past life to himself for a long time. He does not think he’s worthy of love after the live he’s lived before. Sage has also had a hard life because of her family history and where she’s come from. No one really cares for her except for a certain few.
Both of these characters have such a tumultuous painful past and it sure made it hard for me to read because of the angst. But kept on reading because I love the angst.
In Embrace the Night Eternal brought out much more and gave readers a better insight in the storyline of this saga. I have to say so far, Simon is my favorite hero. I love how he tries to be strong by staying away from “Theo’s woman” Sage. She is sure as hell one strong lady for not backing down and showing Simon he is worth being loved.
Another of many things I also loved was that we got to see more of Quentin and his sassy and sarcastic heroine, Zoe.
There is even more danger in this sequel… Not to mention just as we got some questions answered…we are left with more questions as new players pop up in Embrace the Night Eternal.
I don’t know exactly how many books are in this saga but I hope the next one is not the finale. I want more! Embrace the Night Eternal is just too awesome of a paranormal fantasy novel to end now with just these three novels.
Please Ms Joss Ware, write more novels for this series!!
I gave Embrace the Night Eternal 5 out of 5 Stars rating.

Book Review
In Beyond the Night the world is no longer the same after mankind suffers massive causalities and continents are destroyed by an unknown force. In this new world, the few human survivors gathered what they can find to make it the uncertainty of the world they know live in. Other creatures, the Ganga and other known specimens nicknamed the ‘strangers’ are slowly out to destroy the human populations. These strangers objective is yet to be revealed. Few have survived to live the tale about them... One survivor, Jade has lived more horror than any human should ever have to deal with. Jade uses whatever it took to escape and heads to the human town/community of Envy.
Dr. Elliot and his comrades wake up from a long sleep to find the world they knew is long gone. They have no clue who, what and why they are the only ones to survive when millions have perished. Elliot and crew manage to get things set up and try to find their way to Envy. Elliot is hoping to find survivors old enough to tell them what happened fifty years old ago.
Elliot and with of the men stumble onto a group of teens being attacked by gangas... Elliot and group save them and find another unconscious hero. Luckily for the men, the teens are from Envy and lead them back to their town.
Elliot has the gift of healing... He can heal people but at huge risk to himself. He doesn’t think twice about healing Jade. Elliot cannot help but have strong feelings for the fiery red head Jade.
Jade and Elliot are drawn to each other but keep their feelings to themselves.
Jade leads Elliot and his men to the one man that can clue them in on what really happened all those years ago.
Elliot and men soon realize that the destruction caused on mankind was caused by a secret society whose intent to become immortal.
Quentin, one of Elliot’s groups realizes that it may have been in fact his father and fanatic cult responsible for the hell on earth.
The world have may no longer be the same, but for these small group of humans, they’ll be damned to let it happened again.
This dark and twisty paranormal romance is one hell of a thrill ride. I can see the humans not laying down and fighting for their survival.
I couldn’t help but love the suspense scenes and what wonderful way the author managed to connect each of the main characters background together to fit this story.
The humans like Jade and Elliot had lot to overcome and kept holding on. They soon realize that nothing could change the course of destiny... Jade and Elliot belong together whether they knew it or not. And the best part where Elliot told Jade straight out that he was a one woman man. I can only see the series get even more exciting in the upcoming additions with Simon and Quentin's stories.
I give Beyond the Night 4 out of 5 Stars rating
