Reviews with content warning for Violence - Dark Needs at Night's Edge

Loved this!! I remember loving this book so much when i first read it years ago, and now im happy i still love it now after a reread. The only thing that irritated me about this book was that the MMC rarely apologized for his harsh words. And then he’d be all depressed because he already assumed she’d never forgive him bc of said words 🙄

But yea, loved this! Inloved Kaderin and Sebastians book, and i think i loved this just as much so they’re tied for first place! Sebastian is still my fave Wroth brother though.

I've officially read an IAD book!!! Am I going to read another? Possibly! It was fun and exciting, but just fine. Not the greatest, but definitely not the worst.

4.0

Tonight Conrad had recalled what he’d once coveted, what he’d been filled with regret never to possess.
I’d wanted a woman of my own. One to claim and protect. One to pleasure.

As a mortal, he’d longed for this constantly. What if this female was his? His arm injury ached under the spray of the water. If the curse of that mark was true . . . Was this little ghost the one his life had been leading toward? He recalled the chills he’d felt when Nikolai had merely uttered the name of her home. Conrad had been forced here, sensing it was the first step on a doomed path.

His dream . . . her doom.

“You need to stay away from me.” I have to escape this place. “For your own good.”

Her brows drew together. “Vampire, I don’t know if I can.”

I really loved the beginning to the first half (thereabouts) of this, but it gradually lost a little bit of my engagement. It had strong spooky, Halloween-ish vibes that eventually dissipated. And the romance and story lost some of the momentum it had in the beginning. It’s a slow burn because she’s a ghost, so they can’t touch each other at all. I grew impatient during the long stretch in the middle where the plot wasn’t really moving forward.

“You believe me?”

“I . . . don’t.” Nikolai ran his hand over the back of his neck. "I don’t know if I can accept everything you said.”

“Then why?”

“For whatever reason, you need this badly, and you came to me for it.” Nikolai cast him a stern look. “Because I’m still your goddamned brother.”

The Wroth brothers are so far my favorite immortals and I enjoyed seeing them all working together to bring Conrad back from the brink of insanity. I thought Conrad’s journey from madness to lucidity was well-developed. I really felt for him. Overall, this is in my top 3 of the series so far, but I still have a long way to go!
