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.

Rereviewed as reviews aren't showing

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!

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.

The fifth exciting installment in Donna Grant’s Reaper series!

Dark Alpha’s Night is the fifth exciting installment in Donna Grant’s Reaper series. This series shares a timeline and multiple characters with her Dark Kings’ series. I do not recommend it, but if you absolutely insist, you could read this as a stand alone as the romance is self-contained within this tale. That said, there is an overall series’ arc along with tie-ins to the author’s Dark Kings’ series which add together to make the series best read both in-order and in-tandem with the Dark Kings’ series. I am inhaling both series and, trust me, the way Donna interweaves the two makes for a richer reading experience.

IF you are new to this series and the Dark Kings, just know that this series is about Reapers, who are elite fae assassins who answer to Death, a mysterious and beautiful female. The Reapers are on a series-long mission to save Death who is in dire straits, stop the traitorous Bran, and stop an upcoming war. Fans of the series will enjoy catching up with previous favorites as all the Reapers make appearances in this story. Readers may also expect many long-held secrets to be revealed.

As this tale opens, the Reapers are desperately searching for Bran’s descendants who may very well hold the key as to why Bran’s dark powers are growing so rapidly while Death’s are mysteriously ebbing threatening her very existence. Emphasizing the importance of this mission, Reaper Daire has been pulled from his assignment shadowing Rhi. He finds three half-fae sisters on a family farm on the outskirts of Killarney, Ireland. Unfortunately, one - Ettie - appears to already be under Bran’s influence. Can Daire convince Ettie that she’s in danger and that she should not follow Bran’s bidding?

Ettie is a big sister who has raised her two uniquely-talented younger sisters, Carrie and Jamie. Even though Carrie and Jamie are now full-grown, Ettie still feels responsible for them. Their father trained all three sisters to be ready to protect themselves and combat the evil fae, but, he failed to explain why that may occur making the whole scenario seem to be nothing more than a father’s fanciful fantasy. Ettie’s family situation makes things very interesting for the Reapers as they must discover and then cope with the diverse needs of all three women instead of just one. Can Daire and his fellow Reapers figure out why the sisters are of value to Bran before it’s too late?

Daire’s and Ettie’s chemistry is off-the-charts hot and steamy! I love that Daire has found his mate and how they interact. She’s definitely no wallflower! Daire originally captured my heart as he stealthily followed Rhi in the previous books. He certainly has earned his HEA – but it won’t be easy. Donna makes him work for it!

Villainous Bran is prominently featured in this book as he shows off his acting skills portraying someone he is not. He certainly demonstrates that he feels no remorse ruthlessly utilizing innocents to further his wicked revengeful plot against Death and the Reapers. In the past, I felt some sympathy for the way Bran and his love was treated. No more - as it’s blatantly obvious that everyone and everything is expendable to Bran.

Following please find a few of my favorite lines from Dark Alpha’s Night:

Ettie knew the best thing to do would be to put some distance between her and Daire. Being so close to him was making her feel… all sorts of wanton, lustful things.
---

“Don’t you want to experience the world? Find a man? Have sex? Because, I really, really want to have sex.”
---

“I’d be a fool to turn you away.”
His smile was slow, and entirely too sexy. “And you certainly aren’t a fool.”

This tale is not quite as action-packed as the previous books have been, but, at the same time, there seems to be more disclosures related to the series’ arc which just has to be reaching a crisis point. I sure hope that Donna moves the plot quickly from here as it’s painful to watch Death as her powers wane. Next up is Dark Alpha’s Hunger releasing August, 2018.
