“The Night is Defying,” by Chloe C. Peñaranda 

 

After loving the first book in this series, I was so excited to listen to the audiobook of The Night is Defying, and it completely surpassed my expectations. I adored book one (a solid 5-star read), but book two took everything I loved and made it even better. 

 

One of the best parts for me was delving deeper into the protagonist’s lost past and memories, which added so much depth to the story. I also loved getting to know Nyte better in this installment. His lore was fascinating, and as an unapologetic fan of morally gray male characters, I couldn’t help but be drawn to his darker side. Chloe C. Peñaranda has this incredible talent for creating "red-flag" characters that are somehow irresistible, and I was absolutely here for it. 

 

I loved the tropes, shadow daddy, enemies to lovers, etc. The world building was so good, and I was excited to see more of the celestial plane. I thought the side characters added to the story, I love well written side characters. I loved everything about this book. 

 

And that ending? Absolutely insane! 

 

I also have to praise the audiobook narration, which was flawless. It brought the story to life perfectly, and there isn’t a single thing I’d change about it. 

 

5 out of 5 stars, I love this series!
