Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer
Wow, Okay, Is it possible to hug fictional characters? Because they all need one.
"Someone once told me that we should be riding at the front, not hiding in the shadows."
This Robin Hood, inspired fantasy captured my heart very easily and very quickly. Completely blowing me away from the characters, the plot, the interactions, the details, to the world-building, Defy the Night may not contain any magic but is most certainly a magical read.
"You make me want to do better."
I fell in love with Tessa/Wes along with Corrick, his friend Quint and his brother Harrison. Each character had their personal growths throughout Defy the Night, the banter between them all, especially Tessa/wes/Corrick had me smiling for the majority of the read. I had seriously thought I had the early on plot twist figured out, but for the writing to somehow make me change my mind only for it to happen in the very next chapter, Which is a testament to how beautifully Brigid Kemmerer wrote this book. Not only do you get hooked very fast and you also experience a lot of emotions throughout the read. YA gems like Defy the Night within the current YA climate makes this story a breath of fresh air that I would happily reread over and over.
Defy the Night was such an unexpectedly great read and I can not wait to get my hands on the next book. I really do hope it is soon!
4.5****
