As the
fight against Mathias and his Anarki army rages around her,
Sabelle Rion watches helplessly as her brother Bram, the
leader of the Doomsday Brethren, lies dying in a cloud of
evil. When the battle literally knocks on their door,
Sabelle and the others must flee. Ice Rykard swears to
protect Sabelle and the Doomsday diary she holds from
Mathias’ evil clutches, even if it kills him. Every day he
loses a piece of himself by being so near to Sabelle and not
being able to touch her the way he’d like to. Sabelle feels
Ice’s desire for her, but Ice is Bram’s enemy and an
unlikely match for someone of her station. Sabelle may have
to choose between her heart and her duty as Mathias inches
closer in his quest to obtain the Doomsday Diary,
eliminating each Council member one by one in the process.
The tension between Ice and Sabelle in Seduce Me In
Shadow was intense, but it’s nothing compared to
Possess Me At Midnight. Considered royalty in
magickind, Sabelle is bound by honor to marry as per her
station. Being a Deprived rather than a Privileged, Ice is
no-where near Sabelle’s station. As is the fate of so many
lovers of different classes, Sabelle is torn between love
and duty. Bram is surprisingly responsible for most of
Sabelle’s anguish. I was on edge wondering if true love
would conquer all until the very end. Sabelle and Ice’s
dilemma is similar to those in historical settings who faced
the same plight, but the addition of a ruthless wizard and
some entertaining magic makes it very different. I love the
angst and passion between Sabelle and Ice; it’s tangible and
often breathtaking. Possess Me At Midnight is
another exciting chapter in the Doomsday Brethren’s
fight against a merciless and evil wizard hell-bent on
gaining power. |
