This was a fast-paced short story that I devoured. Libbie is an instantly likable character with an awesome best friend (April). I was rapidly pulled into this story because these two characters reminded me of the relationship I have with my best friend – Adams depicted friendship and loyalty so well between these two. Through April, Libbie and Jay meet and it is fabulous! Jay probably sets a record for how fast I fell in love with a fictional male character. He’s such a sweetie! I love him and Libbie together. Their interactions are comical and I wanted more of them. A lot of action is packed into this book – lots of paranormal events, goblins, ghosts, demons, angels, werewolves, witches and more. I only wish I knew more about Libbie and Jay’s pasts. I felt like we learned a lot about their present situation, but I feel there is so much more there to be explored between the two and how they reached this point – what makes them, them. I’m not sure if this series will focus on these two characters primarily, or if we’ll get to see more from the supporting characters – but I’m officially requesting BOTH from this author! I want more of Libby and Jay as well as April – and ok maybe Jordan! All-in-all it was a fantastic quick read that you’ll love and will get you hooked into everything this author releases.

This is just what I needed to get me on a book high. Great Story, really likeable characters. Funny and sweet but way too short. I was really upset when I realised that I'd finished it my lunch break and all. I can't wait for more. Awesome hero and a kick ass Heroine.

It has the makings of a really good story. Unfortunately it was too short even for a novella or short story.

When Libbie McMaster gets guilted into going out on Halloween night, the last thing on her mind is finding her mate. Her self-imposed seclusion has served her well over the past nine months, keeping the ghosts, goblins, and bad memories at bay. But when she meets Jay, her whole world is turned upside down.

From the moment Libbie walked into the bar, Jay can’t keep his eyes off her. Everything about her screams one thing—his. He’s willing to give her the time she needs to get used to the idea of being mated to a werewolf, but when the creatures that lurk in the shadows threaten her, he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, even if it means fighting her demons.

Libbie is a witch who is half daemon. She sees ghosts and can talk to spirits. There is one pestering her when our story begins and the spirit can’t move on until her grieving husband keeps his promise to her. Libbie is going out with her friends after months of seclusion and heads to the bar that not only holds her friends but also holds the grieving husband.

While at the bar Libbie meets Jay and they have an instant connection. She’d love to stay and explore their attraction but the spirit tells Libbie that her hubby’s in trouble – now out in an alley by the bar – and Libbie heads out to try to help. Jay trails along behind even though Libbie tries to get him to stay put.

Jay is a werewolf who knows immediately that Libbie is his mate. When she heads outside he’s not about to let her out of his sight, so he follows her. He doesn’t expect her to start battling demons from hell but he jumps right in to help. Thinking that they’ve saved the hubby Libbie heads home but can’t stop thinking of Jay. He shows up at her place the next day and they’re soon in bed together and wanting to stay that way for a very long time. Unfortunately Libbie’s friend, and another witch, needs her again and what they find might cause Libbie and Jay to be torn apart before they can ever start a life together.

Bump in the night sounded like a fun little paranormal read when I read the blurb. The book ended up being that but so much more. The book is a nice introduction to the world that Libbie lives in – although I definitely would have enjoyed a bit more world-building. I liked Libbie a lot and that went a long way to making the book better for me. Jay was also a great guy and seemed perfect for Libbie.

The story had me on the edge of my seat at times as well as a bit heartbroken at others. For being such a short book it packed a lot into it. I’m looking forward to reading more about this world and finding out more about the characters that the author introduced us to.

Rating: 3.75 out of 5

I received this book as an ARC courtesy of City Owl Press for my review and enjoyment. Thank you.

This is a quick read with a lot of different characters. The story moves very quickly without much explanation or background on the characters. A longer possibly more detailed plot line would have been better. I felt like I was thrown in to the story without much information to go on.

I did enjoy some parts of this story but I felt it was rushed and incomplete.

enjoyed it. Good plot.

Just when I thought there weren’t any new, interesting paranormal combinations under the moon, along comes Bump In The Night, to prove me wrong.

Libbie and Jay are mated. Libbie a witch-daemon and Jay a shifter werewolf-witch. The knowledge that they are mates is instant for each, but to get to that mating part is going to have to wait a bit. Libbie can see and talk to ghosts, and one particular ghost is very insistent that Libbie help her husband who is taking his wife’s death very badly. Unfortunately, Kurt is going to cause a boatload of trouble before all of this can be resolved.

Bump In The Night is an intense short story of the lengths that bonded mates will go to protect their mates. It’s also the first story in the Deadly Whispers series, so there is a bit of a setup of the purpose in the plot and characters that will be involved with Libbie and Jay. Libbie is one badassed witch and she has no troubles trying to keep her mate out of the danger zone. Being an Alpha shifter, Jay doesn’t listen very well. As they do battle for one misguided soul, a deeper battle will be raged to keep the mates alive and together.

You will find raging demonic battles, steamy sex scenes and engaging secondary characters in this novel. But Libbie and Jay are compelling as the newly found mates who will do anything to protect each other.

I enjoyed this one very much and I’m looking forward to continuing the series. it looks to be an intriguing one. Definitely recommend Bump In The Night for any paranormal romance reader.

*I received an e-ARC of Bump In The Night from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. That does not change what I think of this novel.*

This book was definitely different but I must say that I enjoyed it.
