The story is getting closer to an end. Is the Reaper war and the Dragon King War going to be one and the same? Is Rhi more powerful than they all know? Is Death going to die? Is Bran going to take over?  Are the Reapers going to be able to win? Will the Reapers ask the Kings to help?

Each book in the series answers questions and then once you’re done it starts you thinking of more questions.  I wouldn’t suggest you read this as a standalone as you won’t enjoy it as much as you will if you know the backstory of the other characters.

In all of Donna Grant’s stories family and protecting those they love is the common thread. Even if characters are fighting they still will stand up for family. Ms. Grant takes you “out of this world” to a place you can see in your mind and get to know the characters. You fall in love with one and you then feel like family. As the series progresses I find myself longing for my favorite characters to be mentioned. When they are, it makes my heart smile. 

Pick up a book by Donna Grant, sit down but don’t have plans for a few hours because you will get lost in a sensual, magical world and not want to put the book down.

Another amazing story by Donna Grant. Enjoyed it and couldn’t get enough. Can’t wait to read the next one! Amazing storyline and captivating tale! The story keeps the reader interested and wanting to read more.

The Reapers are still trying to figure out how they can stop Bran, who is determined to kill them and Death.  It’s hard to fight an enemy when you can’t harm them and now Death is unable to help as Bran has found a way to drain her of her power.

River found something in one of the ancient texts about Bran’s descendants.  The Reapers set out to find the remaining living members of Bran’s line, which leads Daire to Killarney, Ireland, and the three O’Byrne sisters.

Daire has an instant attraction to the oldest sister, Ettie, but Bran is already in Killarny and is trying his hardest to woo her. They know that Bran wants something, but they have to figure out what before it’s too late and before he can gain any more power or advantages over the Reapers.

This was a short book, but it was an okay read all in all.  It was novella length and so everything happened rather quickly.

I’ve always enjoyed Daire so I was happy to see this was his book!  I couldn’t help, but feel bad for him in the beginning of the story when he was annoyed at being surrounded by couples!  So, of course we knew he’d find his woman in this book!

Ettie has trained her whole life to battle the Fae, her father always told her to be ready.  She kind of reminded me of…

But, her dad never told her what she needed to be ready for.  Now that they have finally met some Fae, she’s learning that there is no way she can defeat them without possessing any magic of her own!

This was an okay read, nothing all that exciting really happens though.  It was a pretty one-dimensional read.  And for someone who felt betrayed by Daire, Ettie sure forgave him rather quickly!  Daire was pretty sweet with her though and I enjoyed their scenes when they were alone.

We’re almost though all the Reapers though so I have to wonder if this series is coming to an end.  Cael hasn’t found love yet, but I suspect he will end up with Erith.  I guess we’ll find out soon enough!

DARK ALPHA'S NIGHT is another winner! The storyline follows author Donna Grant's Reaper series of Death vs. Bran vs. Reapers but in this one there is an even bigger magical vibe that had me reading it in one sitting. I had wondered who Daire would be matched with and I enjoyed getting to know Ettie and her sisters a little before they met. I was also thrilled that though the other sisters were considered "beautiful" Daire saw Ettie and was a goner. I enjoyed the gentleness and patience that he showed her while she worked it out that there really are Fae and they can be trouble depending on whether they are Light or Dark. Then she was ready to face down Bran. I was a little saddened by Erith's decision to go into hiding, though you will have to read the book to find out why, because I thought of her as a fighter. I guess Ms. Grant knows what she is doing with this fantastic series.

If you are looking for a really good romance, with a lot sweet and steamy love happening, fighting that includes good vs. evil, and a series that will hold your interest so well that you won't want to read "the end" then DARK ALPHA'S NIGHT is just what you want!

Great addition to this series.  Be advised I do recommend reading them in order.  Daire and the Reapers are looking for Bran’s descendants who may be a danger to the Reapers and the woman they love.  Ettie and her sisters have always been preparing for a fight with the Fae.  This is a fast-paced read with loads of drama and suspense.  The chemistry is steamy and the story draws you into another world.  I was hooked from beginning to end.

As I've stated before, this is not a series you want to just jump into having not read any of the previous stories. It is heavily intertwined with the previous stories so it's a good idea to just start from the beginning. 

I really enjoyed this one! As per this book is filled with riddles, mysteries and untold truths. The suspense is almost unbearable because you know it's not really going to be resolved in this story. You get drip fed minute pieces of the puzzle.. enough to keep you interested, engaged but not significant enough for you to have a clue where the author is taking this plot in the long run. It's fucking smart. The writting is so tightly woven and seamlessly connected to previous stories that you forget it's separate books. The characters are great additions! Extremely likeable with substance.  Ettie and Daire are just yummy together! Great chemistry throughout making for some real steamy encounters.It's creative and something different from the usual pnr romance. Another fabulous read!. 

I can't wait for Caels story! And death... she got me all kinds of curious. But I'm betting  he'll be left still the end just to tease us. 

I kindly received this ARC from the publisher via netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I don't know what it is about the Reapers vs. Dark Kings books, but I always seem to prefer the Reapers over the Dark Kings, and this book was no exception. The story had a bit of Insta-Love going for it, which is not a trope I enjoy, so the book lost a star for that. I liked that Ettie was both plain and an exceptional warrior. I think it made her more realistic for me. Daire was a good Reaper, but we just don't get too in depth with him, which didn't make him easy to connect with. I liked that this was a shorter jaunt that referenced the Dark Kings series, but wasn't too confusing to read. I really need to make time to read the previous installments in this series!

My first story in this particular series and I am eagerly looking for more. Excitement, action and mystery followed by romance, emotion and strength. Danger and disbelief and faith and hope are all intertwined to create a tale that leads you to one conclusion but throws a curve to keep you guessin

Dark Alpha's Night by Donna Grant is part of the Reaper Series. The Reapers were introduced in the Dark Dragon Kings Series. While it is not necessary to have read that series I would recommend that this series be read in order. For me it helps to see the overarching theme as it develops. This addition has clue reveals, so a new reader may be lost or confused. As far as Daire, Ettie and their romance aspect of the story, it is contained in this one book with no cliffhanger. 

These stories are not to long so when Daire finds Ettie, it is almost instant lust/love. In the fae world and paranormal in general, this works out fine. If you have read any of Ms. Grant’s series, you know that the big theme, which will be dangerous and filled with enemies as strong as the heroes, will not be solved easily. The enemies to the Reaper and their boss, Death is slowly revealed along the stories. Then the solution is all tied up within the romances as the leads find or solve piece by piece their dilemma. Daire and Ettie’s story is no different. 

A unique series with two passionate, strong characters in its fifth addition Dark Alpha's Night. Extremely enjoyable read, but one best read in order.

Reapers are Fae who have died but have been brought back by Death to do her bidding. Don’t be fooled into thinking that Death is a dark, ugly, scary monster who is out to indiscriminately take lives. She is a beautiful ethereal being who is losing her power day by day to the dark Fae Bran. What’s more,  neither her nor her army of reapers can kill Bran. So far only one hafling has been able to harm him. The reapers are now on the trail of Bran’s ancestors, believing that Bran will be after them. The reaper’s research has let them to Killarney, Ireland to the O’Byrne sisters. 

Ettie, along with her two younger sisters Carrie and Jamie have always been told by their father that they needed to be prepared. For what, Ettie isn’t sure, but she believes that it may have something to do with the stories of Fae that their father told them their whole lives. Even though they have never gotten any evidence to their existence, it seems that things are about to change and Ettie is about to discover just how real those stories are...

Daire, along with his fellow reapers, is on the trace of Bran. What he didn’t expect to find was a stunning blonde who has spent her whole life protecting and taking care of her two sisters and who happens to be an exceptional fighter. 

The chemistry between Ettie and Daire is instant and intense and my only regret is that we didn’t get to witness it enough. I only wish that the Reaper novels could be longer or that they could be released in shorter periods of time because I truly can’t get enough!!!! Love this series!

I have a problem with this review. As World and story Like were interesting, but I had a Great problem with getting into The story as it's my First meeting with this Series and this author.
For fans, it will be a Great pleasure!
For others: start with book 1! I read this one as There was no mentioning it Would be hard to read without previous books.

This story, the fifth in the Reaper series is great, it has a fantastic paranormal element, including the Fae. I couldn't put it down.

I received a copy from Netgalley and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion

Wow, Donna Grant has been giving us some pretty amazing books lately.  She's dropping hints and details that are obviously getting us ready or some those books and reveals we have all been waiting for and I for one am super excited.  But, all that comes with a downside and it's SPOILERS!  Something I refuse to give away so talking about all the little details about this book won't be happening here, I am not even going to talk about book characters much except for in some general terms, because I went into this book not knowing who the hero was going to be and I think that made it all the more amazing and exciting when it was revealed to me once I began reading.   Sometimes there truly some joy in not knowing what you are getting yourself into as a reader and I want you to find that joy like I did.  With this I would also like to warn you that if you do want the suprises I had, don't go looking at reviews other places because you will get 'spoiled' and that's a total bummer.  I personally felt like if Donna wanted us to know who the hero was prior to you reading the book she would have put his name i the description...just think on that a little.

Anywho, this book is more than just the surprise of who is in it, it's also the little details coming together to really move the story along.  I will say that over the last several books, mainly in the Dark Kings series, which has close ties to this one, I have been feeling a little stagnant but BAM, Donna starts putting it all out there with Dark Night's Alpha.  Everything is changing and in ways I am a little afraid of.  Bram is still out there causing havoc and mayhem, no surprise...and that guy needs to go, but it's the little behind the scenes events that have me biting my nails and worrying about what is to come for our Reapers, Dragons, and most especially Death and Rhi!

I loved Ettie and her sisters.  These are some amazingly strong women who have grown up 'in the know' about the Fae, something that was a bit refreshing since often times the heroine is getting her first introduction when she meets the hero.  I loved that they carried on a family legacy, one that they didn't fully understand but fully valued because....family is everything, even the family that is not yours by blood.  Which brings me to another point and it bugged me but probably won't bug anyone else, hahaha. but EWWWW Bram, she's like your great, great, great, great.....grand daughter or something.  It made me a little squeamish if I thought too hard about it, haha.  I am really hopeful that we will see Ettie's sisters in later books, I think that Donna gave us a good set up to end up bringing them into the fold either through a romance or just as the family of our heroine.  I loved them each though for their different personalities, their desire to be helpful, and their strength both individually and as a team.

The Reapers still are on the search for their missing brother, though Bram and his machinations keep getting in the way.  The mated couples are stronger than ever and a true team is beginning to form between all the Reapers and the mates, it was a joy to get to see how things are fairing for each of them.  I half wonder if with Bram we will get a bit of a Ulrik moment where he has a time of redemption coming.  It's clear that he is the villain and is doing some horrible things but like Ulirk (though there is some debate there, ha) did he do them because of the pain he was feeling from losing love? 

As with Donna's other series I don't suggest starting this series out of order.  I suppose that you could read this as a standalone, but I think you will find yourself really missing out and wondering how we got to where we are.  I'd even suggest starting with the Dark Kings...heck maybe going all the way back to Dark Sword.  I know it's a lot but you will love the way all of these storylines tie together and how the this paranormal world and it's characters evolve over the centuries.  If you do start from the beginning let me just say, the books slow down in the middle, don't give up.  There are wonderful stories of family and love in each of them but we do kind of lose track (until recently, woot) of where things are headed I think.  Each book plays it's part but for a while there isn't the strong build up to the finale.  That's why I am so in love with this one, we are back on track and we are going somewhere and it's going to be amazing!

If you have been reading my blog for a while you will already know that I am a huge fan of Donna Grant so you will not be surprised that I have read this book.

I received a eARC a few months ago and I couldn't wait to read it so I read it right away. 

Dark Alpha Night is book number 5 in the Reaper series. Each books are short so they can be read in one sitting and they all need to be read in order.

I just couldn't put this book down and read it in ones sitting.  
I love the story so much and I sure hope there will be more books in this series because I am hooked. 

I do very much recommend this series and this book.  I promise you, you will be hooked.

I am giving this 5 out of 5.

So happy Daire has found his mate. I have more questions than answers is this book. The big question is why don't the Reapers ask the Dragon Kings for help? I know Donna has a plan for both series so my question is a moot point but it's still a question I have. Daire finally stops following Rhi around and this is when he finds his mate. I really like Ettie and wonder how she will fit in at the end of this series. Like I said I have more questions than answers in this book and yes I am repeating myself.

If you get lost best to read the prior books to get a sense of what what and who’s who. We have shifters, Fae, Reapers,  mysteries with riddles lies covering truths  and war with a lot in between.

4 - "Don’t give up on me…" Stars!

We return to the Reaper series with book five; Dark Alpha’s Night giving us Daire’s story.

He’d always been a bit of a rogue, his rebellious streak creating all sorts of havoc.

So, we are at the point in the series where as a reader I want to see things start moving along with the bigger story arc playing out, Bram is still causing mayhem, especially in relation to Erith and Cael, who are still circling each other like wary tigers, but in general things have sort of ground to a halt a little.

This is what she was meant to do. And Daire was who she was supposed to be with…

It was good to see Daire find his woman in this instalment, and the fact Ettie has two sisters’ gives me hope for a deeper storyline for the O’Byrne family playing out at some point. But I think more questions were added to the list than actually answered, the connection between Ettie and Daire is of the ‘insta’ variety, but all-in-all I enjoyed Dark Alpha’s Night.

"I want to see you beneath the sun and moon, so I can kiss, lick and touch every inch of you…"

I am looking forward to seeing where Donna takes this series next, with Eoghan still lost, but not forgotten, and Death starting the feel the effects of the power Bram has over her, I hope that the story starts picking up again and moving at a more steadier pace in the future novellas.

"I have a bad feeling about whats to come…"

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher.

This edition of the Reapers series focuses on Daire and Ettie.  Daire is a Reaper.  He works for Death.  Ettie is human but part fae - which she didn't know.  This particular book focuses on the war Death has with a fallen Reaper and the fallen's insistence in taking over the world. 

Anyway, Daire and Ettie find themselves seriously attracted to one another.  Daire recognizes his mate but Ettie has zero clue about any of that stuff.  They chat.  They make out. They go further.  HA!  Y'all read it and see. 

This particular book is short.  158 pages +/-.  You'll find yourself wanting to learn more about each of these characters.  You'll also want to shake Death and tell her to get a freakin' grip...she's Death for goodness sake's.  We can't have a wimpy Death. 

If you like paranormal give this one and or the series a try!

I got so caught up reading this that I reached the end before I knew it.  Dairy has been hanging out in the Dark Kings series.  Tasked to follow Rhi, he has now been given the opportunity to work along side the other Reapers to defeat Bran.  Ettie has been preparing all her life for a fight she is beginning to think will never occur.  With the entrance of Bran and Daire into her life, the fight is just beginning.

I simply cannot get enough of Donna Grant's paranormal romances. I love them and "Dark Alpha's Night" is no exception. She writes such detailed and interesting plots that it keeps me up at night to finish the story. I really like the characters in this book. Good solid writing and dialogue was a treat.
