Even though it's part of a series, I didn't expect this novel to be as intertwined with the previous books as it was. I felt lost in the beginning as I tried to play catch-up on the rules. I guess I should have read the other books in the series

Perfect read. Great romance. Well written with the perfect amount of character development.

I love this author and her writing style! I have binged almost all of her books after reading just one and she doesn’t ever disappoint.
This story drew me in and kept me up until the late hours (or early morning I should say) reading until I was done. She’s found a forever reader in me. I literally can’t wait to read every installment of her series, and look forward to her announcements on what’s to come next!
5 star read for me.

ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I loved everything about Dark Alpha's Night. I would definitely recommend the book.

As with every book I read by Donna Grant, this one was a home run! I was hooked from the very first line, and was reluctant to stop reading for even a moment. 10 on 10!

Dark Alpha's Night features Ettie & Daire. Daire used to be the one following Rhi, but now that is no longer needed he is assigned to watch a half fae named Ettie. She has two siblings, who were also half fae (the family was visited by multiple light fae or just the same fae three times?)

There is a connection between Ettie and Bran which has the Reapers trying to figure out Bran's motives. Daire connects with Ettie and together they come up with ways to set Bran up. For some reason Bran is determined to take everything Ettie and her sisters have. She just needs to sign it over. This confuses the Reapers wondering just what it is he is looking for.

I was really nervous when Ettie confronts Bran thinking she has the support of the Reapers, but none appear to aid her. It was heartbreaking until she finally learned the truth. But now they know another thing that Bran can do, so the Reapers will be prepared.

But still the question remains, just what is Bran looking for? Also, despite Death's disappearing act, she makes an appearance to acquire just what Bran is looking for.

I was concerned about the relationship between Ettie and Daire. I thought he had a thing for Rhi for awhile, so it surprised me when he so willingly took this new assignment. I'm not reading these in order with the Dark Kings, so some things kind of lose me and I have to remember if what they are talking about happened in a Dark King book. But I was pleased with the strength that Ettie showed and how she proved to be a match for Daire.

An excellent story to give us a little more insight to Daire, Death and the rest of the Reapers. It could've used a little more action but I'm still happy with it.

As usual I love this series! This book has a lot more action and is faster paced. I really enjoyed it! I recommend this series all the time! Love Daire!

Fantasy, paranormal and romance wonderfully meet…

I don’t know how but I managed to start in the middle of the series. I hate when I do that but I couldn’t stop reading! I love this author’s stories, whether they be cowboys or – now – Fae…

Dark and Light Fae are at odds and nothing like throwing Death in the middle to mix things up even more. Good vs evil. Dark vs Light. It’s an age old story that knows no boundaries and it is nowhere better displayed in this read. This was a mix of modern and old, in a time that I couldn’t nail down but wished were possible… Three sisters are waiting. For what, they’re unsure of but Ettie knew it was coming. When not one but two men come to their door, she quickly finds she is in the middle of a battle that would affect all of mankind…

Don’t give up on me…

*swoon*

Friendship and love, and heart-pinging romance made this novella an edge of my seat read from start to finish. Ettie and Daire, and their sisters and brothers in arms, have me hooked and I can’t wait to dive into more!

Daire & Ettie's Story.

Further progression in the overall Bran story arc. We learn how he's stealing Death's magic and that he fathered by fae & half-fae children.

One of those half-fae is Ettie. Like the others she is unaware of any powers until they are needed/necessary for the battle.

Kinda disappointed by Death in this one.

*Digital review copy provided by NetGalley and the publisher.

Daire is part of the Reapers a group created by Death to dispose of the Fae when their time is up. One such person is Bran, a Reaper who caused death and destruction and was sent away but he escaped and is on the hunt to kill Death but he needs something. Ettie and her sisters live in the cottage her dad left them and her whole life Ettie was told by her dad to be ready but she didn’t know why will the time has come. This story kept your mind going wondering what was going to happen next and it had a little bit of everything, danger romance even jealousy. Ettie is my new heroine and how she uses her wits to protect her family and her inheritance is great.

Dark Alpha's Night is the 5th novel in the Reaper series by Donna Grant. I will admit that I found this book to be the weakest addition so far in the series, but it was still a good story and one that I would recommend.

Our heroine, Ettie, is aware of the paranormal world and she has been trained her whole life for this. In her case though, the reader might wonder on whose side she will be on. Will Bran lure her before Daire gets to her to be on the Reapers' side? That's a question you probably already know the answer to, but just read the book to make sure that you are correct. I am sure Daire is a familiar face to you from the previous books. I wouldn't recommend reading this book as stand-alone for two reasons. The main plot unravels in 7 books, so you might feel a little lost and second, the series so far has been very good and I believe you should give it a try.

ARC received for review

Daire and Ettie are great. I loved how he came in and "saved" her. Her sisters were great in helping their romance along. Daire is just as hot as all his Reaper brothers.

I really need Bran to DIE! Now!

I was looking on Ms. Grant's website, and she has listed books 8 & 9 in this series. What? There are only 7 Reapers. Don't tell me Bran is going to stick around that long

This is one of my new favorite books yet. I love Donna Grant and the dark world she has created. Each book is unique and adds more mystery. Thank you for another great read!

Dark Alpha’s Night is the story about Daire and Ettie. Daire is a Reaper on a mission to find the descendants of Bran hopefully to put an end to the war. When he finally came across Ettie and her two sisters. He also sees that Bran has found them too.

Ettie O’Bryn was combatant trained to “Be Ready!” for what she doesn’t know. Until two mysterious men came calling…with one claiming he is a Fae, a soldier for Death.

Dark Alpha’s Night, another amazing book by Donna Grant; though I didn’t enjoy the story as much as book #7. Not as much backstory giving about the characters. I advise before reading this book to read the other books in the series. The temp of the story didn’t flow as smoothly, the only take away from the story. The characters chemistry between Daire and Ettie progressed naturally and wasn’t forced.

Overall, a solid story with much drama and action to be found in this great addition to the Reaper series.

I love Donna Grant and this book didn't disappoint. I will say that with as many players in her series overlapping it has become tedious to keep track of what is going on and with who its happening to. I wish at least some of these books had more closure than more questions.

I struggled a little bit in the beginning because I hadn't read the rest of the series, so I will say this. Even though the characters can stand on their own, I definitely felt cheated as I tried to understand the world and the rest of the characters. But, once I got into the swing of things, I loved every second of it. Donna Grant has created a dark world filled with lust and danger, and she doesn't cheat the reader out of the sweeping romance just because there's plenty of lust and sex. I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the books so I can catch up!

I have read a book by Donna Grant before and I really enjoyed it. I like the author, so when I had an opportunity for other ARC books by her, um... hell yeah. After a little bit, I realized that this is a HUGE world, and all the different series that Donna Grant has written are connected. I love the big series. I am really wishing I got to this at the start. So I looked up the reading order for myself just so see it visually and it is easy to find on the author's website. Another author that has a huger series that I got 20 + books deep into like that is Sherrilyn Kenyon. So Donna Grant is on the list of author's that I will scoop up because dedication to a series like that makes me happy.

Picking up a book when it's in the middle of the series is risky. You don't know if you're going to be missing out on a bunch of backstories for the characters you're reading about. You don't know if there are attributes to the characters that were mentioned before. I know I have said similarly before since this isn't my first starting somewhere other than the start. However, I have at least read a book from the world that this book belongs too. So I'm not totally lost. If you wanted to pick this up without reading the previous books, I think you would be fine. This isn't Donna Grant's first rodeo connecting readers to previous books. Dark Alpha's Night is thankfully one of those where chapter one gives you a quick breakdown of the world from Daire, one of the main characters, POV. So you get a feel for his personality and what the first four books involved. Who has coupled up in the previous books, and who have they been fighting? It really only gets into the Reapers series previous info, but there is mention to the other series that are connected. The Reaper's are working to defeat Bran, a former Reaper, in their series. Bran is trying to kill Death for revenge. There is a rule that since Reapers are the fae executioners, another fae can't know about them. The consequence is the fae who knows about the Reapers is killed. Now Bran has a special sort of rage since most of the Reapers are now paired up with someone. Each booth Bran finds a sort of loophole to siphon Death's power from her, and he is close to killing her in this book. Bran discovers a new loophole which leads him to Ettie and her two sisters. They are his descendants from his time before he was a Reaper.

Ettie is the bland sister out of the three. She is pretty but not as astounding as the other two. Each sister has a gifted characteristic that they get from their half fae lineage. Carrie has like a chef power, lol. Jamie is brilliant with mechanical things. Ettie doesn't know what her quality is till later. The only thing she knows that sets her apart is she's a better fighter. Her father told them about the fae and told them to train and prepare. Which is what he was told. So her good fighting in her mind is just from her dedication. Daire was sort of boring to me. He seemed bland, and that isn't bad because these two seemed more like a normal person you would meet on the street. Not overly brooding, or any of those typical steamy romance guys. I appreciate that every now and then when it's done right.

It looks like this is a six book series for the Reapers alone, not the whole world. That's how many it looks like so far from a quick goodreads.com check. All the books are decently priced at $3.99. It was on sale at the beginning of October so I would keep your eye out for another sale too. I would recommend this Author and her series from what I have read so far. Dark Alpha's Night was a good story, steamy, and quick enough to get through. I can't wait to continue the series from here.

Donna Grant has done it again! I love reading her characters and the challenges they face. The story was a good pace and kept me eager to see what was going to happen. I have read other series by this author and can say this book is right up there with my favorites. I can't wait to see what she will write next!

Ettie knows about the fae, she has been training to fight since she was a child. When Daire, a Reaper who works for Death, shows up he knows he needs to convince her that she is in danger. Can Ettie trust Daire or is he leading her to something worse?

Daire was an intriguing character and I liked Ettie a lot. She is a warrior and protective of her sisters. This is a quick read that catches you off guard and I definitely need to go back and start at the beginning. Fascinating concept.
