These books are really building to some gigantic showdown with lots of pieces moving into place along the way. While we don’t get the ultimate battle in this book, we do make strides to uncovering who the key players are. Oh, and Killian & Ariah’s story, too!

Ariah is the local tea maker we have interacted with in various capacities in previous books. She is a member of the core group, but not directly involved in any battles. That doesn’t negate her power, however, which is largely drawn from nature and the forest. She had a brief love affair with Killian, a non-magical man who visited the island years ago, and whom she never thought to see again. He ends up accepting that he can’t live his life without her and shows up on her doorstep just in time for the big bad to turn everything upside down.

I really liked how we got to see Callum through this new person’s eyes. That story really needs to be fully told in future books and I can’t wait for it. Ariah and Killian, though, were fantastic! We ended up skipping over a bit of the romance, but it was still very satisfying. The big strides we end up making in identifying who is working with the big bad(s) were also super satisfying. This was another great installment in the series.

This was the exact type of schlock I love to read when I have a cold. Had no idea I was jumping in mid-series but the author did a good job of walking me into the world. The yearning here was top notch

Pff, those Druids and all they are up against are a bit much sometimes. Although I love Donna's books and I have read most of her series I still keep having a hard time with keeping up with all the threads of the different characters. I have the greatest respect how Donna knows how to keep you captivated and yearning for the next part in the series. I do wish to understand what's up with the Ancients and what Edie has up her sleeve. At the same time, my connection to the Druids is less than to the Dragon Kings and the Reapers. Nonetheless, another great addition to the Skye Druids series. Four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Oh, the Druids on the Isle of Skye are still trying to figure out who is behind the problems they have encountered when a new one starts. Kerry is in Druid jail, Edie is still operating on the sly, and George and Beth are battling for control while the Isle of Skye Druids have a short breathing time between crises.

Ariah has been having weird episodes but cannot figure out what is going on when her past love, Killian, shows up nine years after breaking her heart in a brutal parting. It seems it has taken Killian this long to realize that the life his family has planned out for him is hollow and lifeless with out Ariah but how can he expect to earn her love when he so deliberately ripped her to shreds with his words?

He also doesn't know anything about her being a Druid and walks into a dangerous situation as a new danger emerges.

This book has so much non-stop drama and you can feel each of their pain - Ariah has a reason not to want her heart smashed again, Killian finally knows that he will do anything for her even leave his family behind so can they get past this hurt?

There is just so many stories entangled and some lives will be lost along the way - and I hope this isn't a spoiler but there is a HEA, and the new danger resolved but the battle is still not over and more families are broken.

Eagerly awaiting the next book in this series!

Get ready for a whirlwind of magic, romance, and second chances! "Still of the Night" whisks you away to the mystical Isle of Skye, where Ariah, a tea-sipping, forest-loving Druid, finds herself in the crosshairs of some serious supernatural drama. When a sinister evil starts creeping into her dreams, Ariah’s peaceful days of blending teas and chatting with trees are over.

But wait – enter Killian, her long-lost Irish love, who made the genius move of choosing his big-city law career over Ariah nine years ago (way to go, Killian!). Now he’s back, with his tail between his legs, ready to beg for forgiveness and win her back. But there’s a catch – because obviously, there’s always a catch. Not only is Ariah wrestling with whether she can forgive him for breaking her heart, but now they both have a target on their backs, thanks to the malevolent force lurking on the island.

Cue Callum, the island’s misunderstood outcast. Killian strikes up an unlikely bromance with him, helping Callum see his worth and maybe (just maybe) take a stand against his abusive father. The stakes? Oh, just a few – like, say, the fate of the island, the safety of everyone they love, and figuring out who’s been double-crossing the Druids all along.

Donna Grant delivers ALL the feels in this fast-paced, magic-fueled ride through Skye. There’s groveling (yes, Killian is really going for gold in the groveling Olympics), heart-pounding danger, and a sprinkle of druidic mystery. The romance? Let’s just say if I were Ariah, I’d be swooning right into Killian’s arms by chapter two. The magic? It’s everywhere, with the Druids going full throttle against evil forces that just keep leveling up.

And don’t even get me started on the epilogue – it’s going to keep you on the edge of your seat, frantically flipping pages and biting your nails until the next book. This one is brimming with suspense, goosebump-inducing tension, and a magical mystery that’s only getting deeper. Seriously, if you haven’t started the Skye Druids series yet, what are you waiting for?

Ariah's aunt for tea gets a second chance at love. Killian returns to Sky, regretting letting Ariah slip through his fingers, but determined to win her back. A whole new world opens up for Killian, and the druids on Sky discover many new things to fight evil.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgalley

Paranormal Romance and a second chance at love! This entire series has left me wanting more and number 5 was no different. This story was packed full of drama and intriguing characters. This story packed one hell of a punch when it came to information about Skye Druids and yet I still have so many unanswered questions. You find out more about the evil that has plagued them which has always amazed me. I like the love story between Killian and Ariah, they have this sweet second chance story that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

As always, Grant has written a very enjoyable book with the right mix of sweet love story, exciting paranormal suspense and good versus evil. Still of the Night continues the tradition of the Skye Druids series very nicely.

I love Ariah and Killian. They're complex, have a deep history and need a lot of work to find an HEA. The evil plaguing Skye is intense and has been since the beginning of the series. Ariah has tried not to get involved but now cannot avoid it. She's a key component in the fight. Killian doesn't even know magic exists. Ariah never told him during their summer of love. He's realized his mistake choosing his family over Ariah back then. He's back to win her and he's so sweet working in her shop, repairing it after it's attacked and giving her space. It's a lot to take in when he learns the truth.

Everyone is back from the previous books and they must find a new way to fight another enemy and it's fun to see them all.

I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

Thanks to the author and NetGalley for the ARC.

This was a well-written, entertaining book. It was suspenseful, romantic, action-packed and kept me reading. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books by this author.

This enchanting story of romance, magic, and good vs evil had me carrying my kindle everywhere until I finished it. Highly recommend. 4.5 out of 5 stars. Now I'm hooked and I need to go back and read all of the prior books in the series.

I love Donna Grant’s Skye Druid Series. Just reading about the Isle of Skye, its beauty and nature is a gift, but add the other elements, Druids, humans, and then the unknown, and each installment of the Series becomes an amazing journey.

“Still of the Night” is no exception. Ariah, a Druid and the FMC is experiencing some extremely unsettling evil events - is this part of what has been happening on Skye, or is it just her imagination? Enter the love of her life, who left her nine years earlier, Killian, who has come back to Skye to reclaim her, and the escalating evil events.

As the evil danger escalates not only is Ariah its target, but so is Killian. The plot keeps growing and twisting, the mystery deepening. I kept rooting for Ariah and Killian to get back together and then the Druids to rid Skye of its evil. This was an excellent read, but I think I need book 6 now!

⭐ - 4/5 - ⭐ (Holy world building Batman!)

The Isle of Skye is full of magic...and Druids. Ariah is a 'forest child', a child of Skye, and a druid. She lives a simple life with her cat while also running her famous tea shop. When a darkness creeps over the Isle, Ariah must gather with the other Skye druids to figure out what is happening to their home. This is made all the more complicated when her first, and only, love, Killian turns up begging for forgiveness. Can she help stop the evil lurking in the shadows while also protecting her heart?

I made a huge mistake. I fell in love with this book and now I'm obsessed! Another mistake I made was reading this book before any of the others in the series. For some reason I thought that it was a standalone...boy oh boy was I wrong. Let this be a lesson, DEFINITELY not a standalone.

From the first paragraph I was hooked. The world, the characters, the cozy vibes emanating from the pages...I couldn't get enough.

Even though I read this book first and honestly was minorly confused for a good chunk of the book, it didn't stop me from speeding through it.

Ariah is a strong, independent woman who is more powerful than she knows. The author really leaned into the classic flower child appearance and I wasn't made about it. Her kitty, Moon was an excellent addition to her character as well.

Killian is the classic handsome Irishman with a charming personality and a godlike appearance. He's really sweet and supportive of Ariah throughout the whole book, no matter what was thrown at him. He's the ultimate golden retriever boyfriend.

The world that Grant has created is mind blowing. Her attention to detail and pacing made for a fierce combo. Like I said, I was a little lost at times because I foolishly read this before the previous books in the series, but you bet I'm gonna start at the beginning now.

I'm SO excited to see what comes of Skye and it's family of Druids.

Thank you #netgalley and #DLGrantLLC for the ARC of this book!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Yet another awesome book by one of my favorite authors. Can't wait for the next book. Highly recommend Donna Grant to anyone and everyone.

I have been a huge fan of Donna Grant for years! I love that this series is connected to the 5 series before i. She is the queen of interconnecting storytelling. This is the 5th book in the Skye Druids series. I would not recommend reading these out of order. Ariah is a druid on Skye, a child of the forest. And her peace is shattered when Killian, the love of her life who left her for family obligations, returns to try to win her back, but an evil darkness is after Killan and Arian needs to save him. This book is a sexy adventure with a lot of action that will leave you on edge of your seat. Sit back and enjoy.

Still of the Night is the fifth Skye Druids Book by Donna Grant. The theme of the series has been unknown enemies as well as known ones. This author is a master of stories who never disappoints even when the overarching theme ends with more questions than answers. So do not expect all to be solve or all enemies to be conquered in this book.

Ariah’s and Killian’s story is both brilliant and exciting. They have a history form almost a decade ago. Still, they have made their way in life, fulfilling goals and dreams. Second chance stories are some of my favorite, so these two characters are now close to my heart. Some of the dangers that they face as human, and druid are close and nearby but also elusive. While their story is complete the suspense and danger are only ramping up more and more. Looking forward to the next Skye Druids book.

Donna Grant keeps upping the ante in this Skye Druids series and the other series in her Dark Universe. There’s romance, action, and lots of Druid magic. With additional story lines and new and ever increasing evil characters and situations, the tension builds in this fast-paced novel. It kept me guessing how this story would end and how many threads would remain open for further exploration in novels to come. I always eagerly look forward to Donna Grant’s new releases!

I received an advance reader's copy of Still of the Night by Donna Grant from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Overall, I quite enjoyed the book and it made a tedious morning at the airport fly by while I read. There was action, intrigue, chemistry and romance. The characters were well-crafted, the pace of the novel was steady, and there were some surprises. Definitely worth reading.

Loved reading the mesmerizing and spellbinding paranormal story. When Killan comes back to town to reconcile with Ariah, Killan will do anything to win back his love, Ariah, but an evil darkness is after Killan. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read riveting story full of mystery and romance by the phenomenally awesome author, Donna Grant.

Love these Skye Druids! Always waiting for the next one! When Killian decides he made a mistake in leaving the woman he loved to follow his family’s wishes. Ariah has secrets. Secrets that could get them killed.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you for allowing me to review
