Twenty years has passed since Raine Baxter became the leader of the a weird mish-mash of supernaturals. Twenty years in which she raised a family, protected her new citizens, and was completely cherished by the men who gave her their love. Raine should be happy. And she was, deliriously so.
Except one small thing.
She didn't want to be a leader. She didn't want to wear the mantle of responsibility and have control over the fates and lives of others. She wanted to bake cupcakes and have copious Big O's. She wanted to stay in Dark River with her friends and her lovers, instead of jet setting all over the world, putting out political fires and rescuing creatures that stretched her very imagination.
The Convocation said she could quit if she found someone strong enough to replace her, and there was only one creature that was on anyone's lips; The Night Demon.
Hiding in the shadow's of Amsterdam, Raine and her guys were going to find him and put a crown on his head so they could finally start their Happily Ever After.
But nothing ever truly goes to plan, especially not when your name is Raine Baxter...

I was so freaking excited when I heard the Dark River series was going to get one more book. Grace McGinty has brilliantly come up with an amazing storyline and even better characters. I absolutely loved being back in Dark River! I missed Raine and her men so much. It’s been 20 years and Raine is tired of being a part of the Convocation for Endangered Preternatural Creatures. However, in order to leave she must find someone with more power to replace her. So Raine and her men take off in search...

I don't want to give away any spoilers so I won't go into the plot at all but this book was everything I wished it to be. I am feeling pretty depressed that this will be the last one but am also grateful we got to have book 4. I feel like I could read countless more books about these characters. I literally never get tired of reading this series. If I'm sick I read these books. If I'm feeling down I read these books. These books are like my comfort food. It's the macaroni and cheese and...

This isn’t my favorite one of this series, but still worth reading. One particular comment had me actually laughing. Out loud. There’s ok spice, though not as good as the prior books. Good story and characters, few typos, medium spice, RH/polyamorous M/F/M/M/M/…..a whole bunch of M, swords cross but she doesn’t go into much detail about it 🤨, fantasy romance. ) One person found this helpful

I was honestly a bit worried whether book four would flow well with the first three given both the time span between the author writing it, as well as the time span in the actual story. All fears are fully laid to rest. Book four feels exactly the same in tone, character behavior, world building. Our favorite fmc (Raine) is still so freaking funny, selfless, self deprecating. Her guys are still the same delicious, psychotic, obsessed group. This is hands down one of my favorite RH series of all...

Whew I got worried there for a minute, but this book is a chef’s kiss! Raine is back with all her men and as you know, trouble is never far away. I love all of the characters. The wit, snark and comebacks are just perfect. I love a good book that actually makes me laugh and snort out loud. And honestly… is X not completely perfect? My kingdom for a mercenary, vampire, man like that! His commentary makes me giggle like a teenage school girl reading my mom’s romances for the first time. ) One...
