The Characters:Įmerson is a character unlike any other I’ve encountered before. While I didn’t love that series, I appreciated the weaving of that story–and Daphne’s perspective of the events–into Dark Reign (#1). I also liked that it showed a softer side to the Morelli family and in particular, Leo Morelli who is the hero in The Beast of Bishop’s Landing. There was something so addicting about this series! There’s this edge of danger and suspense that just keeps building and building as the story progresses that I found to be so captivating.Īdd to it the character evolution and I was sucked right into this series! I love dark, unconventional romance novels and this really fit that bill to a T. The first book in this series, Dark Reign, basically takes place over the span of the entire Beast of Bishop’s Landing Series so I highly recommend that you read that series first if you are trying to read the Midnight Dynasty Universe novels in the chronological order of events and don’t want to have that series be spoiled for you. They’re intended to be read in any order because each series focuses on two lead characters at a time, but there are some shared chronological events and character interactions throughout the universe that overlap in the different series. The Midnight Dynasty Universeis a collection of books (series and standalones) written by different authors but feature the characters from a collective world. HOWEVER, I did not enjoy the Beast of Bishop’s Landing Series which is also written by Amelia Wilde so I wasn’t sure what to expect with this novel but I went in with an open mind… The Concept – Midnight Dynasty: It’s alluded to in Secret Beast ( Beast of Bishop’s Landing) and I have been curious about it ever since. For one thing, I was really excited to read Daphne Morelli’s story. So I went into this book with mixed expectations. Publication Dates: November 2021 – March 2022 Heat Rating: Hot (Kink: minor (#1,#3) & major (#2)) Genre: Adult, Contemporary, Romance, Dark, Erotica Series: The Collector Trilogy | Midnight Dynasty Series She’ll be the perfect addition to his collection. It doesn’t matter that she’s a living, breathing person with her own hopes and dreams.

Innocent Daphne Morelli is more exquisite than anything he’s ever seen.

He only ventures out in pursuit of new art for his collection. Emerson LeBlanc doesn’t enter society much. Synopsis for Dark Reign (from Goodreads): Series Review: Is this series worth your time? Does it get better as the novels progress? Or does it get worse? Find out below:
