The Night Is Defying is the second book in the Nytefall Trilogy. Astraea has gained her freedom and wants to keep it that way. Astraea has found out she is the star maiden and that she has magik powers if only she can remember how to use them. Nyte is slowly sharing some of their memories with Astraea and working with her so that she can use her powers to help save the people from the vampire uprising. Astraea is also been secertly visiting the celestral kingdom to see if spending time there will spark her memories. Nyte and Astraea must try to defy the past and try to make sure that somehow they can break the curse that has followed them throughout the centuries. This was such a good book that after listening to The Stars Are Dying I had to jump into The Night Is Defying right away. Both books are is action packed, steamy romance, secrets and lies. that leaves you wanting more. I can't wait to read the next installment in the series and see how this story ends. I would like to thank both NetGalley and Bramble Books for letting me read an advanced copy of this book.

Mir hat das Buch gefallen auch wenn ich einige Scenen zu langatmig fand. Danke für das Reziexemplar!

This is the second book in the Nytefall trilogy and like the first book in this series The Night is Defying is an amazing book.

Vicious Nightmares Need Peaceful Dreams.

Shaken from the aftermath of the Libertatem, the newly found star-maiden Astraea is determined to keep her freedom, even at the cost of betraying her heart. But time is running out to recover her memories, and with it the hope to unveil her killer.

Embarking on a journey to discover her past, Astraea's awakening power spins the hourglass on a history threatening to repeat itself. While Nyte tries to regain control of the vampires hungry for bloodshed, a sinister plan by his brother to overthrow him sparks a dangerous feud. But are they willing to wear the blood of their kin to see it through?

For nothing in the past ever stays buried. Friends have turned into foes, brothers have turned into enemies, and what was written in the stars long ago ignites again in two hearts that were never meant to be. Letting Astraea go would save the world from darkness, but Nyte is no hero. It seems no monster is heartless, and no angel is without sin.

Peñaranda masterfully weaves together romance, betrayal, and high-stakes action, creating a world so vivid you can’t help but get lost in it. The emotional pull between Astraea and Nyte is devastating yet beautiful, making you question what is worth fighting for. This book is packed with everything I love: a tortured hero, a fierce heroine, epic stakes, and a love that might just destroy everything they hold dear. I’ll definitely be recommending this series.

A really nice fun start to what is looking to be a great series! I am really looking forward to the next book :)

I really enjoyed this one. It was a great follow up to the last that answered a bunch of questions and I’m so excited for the next one, I can’t even fathom how I’m going to be patient about it lol

This was a good follow up to the first book. So much world building , answers, more questions and lots of romance in this one. I really liked having Nyte’s pov it made me love him even more tbh. There was some repetition of info and things that had already happened but i liked that we got more about celestials and vampires and the politics surrounding it. The romance in this was better than the first book, not too much smut but so much tension, communication and soulmatism. Like in the first book i loved the thematic writing and allusions to stars and nights. Excited for the next book if you like romantasy’s you need to read this series. Thanks to Bramble for this arc!

Read if you like:
- Vampires and Celestials
- Romantasy
- Magic
- soulmates and bonded mc’s
- Star crossed lovers

This one jumped around a lot more than book one, but mostly we see Astrea rediscovering herself and working to regain her memories. Nyte is free and working to help her, but there are much bigger things at work in the kingdom that would keep them apart. I really enjoyed watching them reclaim their love for each other, and how much violence and destruction occurred in the process.
