Summary

As if bloodsuckers weren't frightening enough。。。
whatever killed these people consumed their souls。。。

Leaving their bodies completely unscathed。
The victims had only one thing in common。

They were all attacked at my club。

But when you mess with my fans, Nicky's fans。。。 well, you'll unleash Nyx and soon regret it。

The Grimoire of the Nazarene is still missing。

If the Order of the Morning Dawn finds it first, Mina will unleash a legion of angels to wipe out everything she deems unnatural: vampires, witches, me。。。 and good people like me, people in my community。

Is there a connection between these killings and the missing grimoire?

I have reason to believe it's all connected。

With every body that turns up at my club I suspect that Mina gets a little closer to acquiring the Grimoire of the Nazarene and ending us all。

Death, action, drama, humor and more。 Theo packs so much into his books so one minute your ‘no way’ and the next you’re laughing, all while never taking away from the storyline just adding to it。 His books are different than every other supernatural ones and yet they pull you in。 You want to read from beginning to end and fuss cuz there’s a cliffhanger。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

This Author has not disappointed me yet in his writing。 He brings so much passion to his characters and don't forget how he puts in parts that will have you rolling on the floor。 So please read and accept our LGBTQ community they sometimes have it all。 Nicky has her club, but now people are dying, what will Nyx do?

This is book three of The Legend of Nyx series and sees Nicky looking to hire some new back-up singers for her club and Devin has arranged for three young women to come in for an audition。 The women are Amelia, Katie and Rose。 Katie is over confident and pushy about her talent, whereas Rose is best at operatic arias which are not quite what Nicky’s club is about, and then the shy and timid looking Amelia。 She listens to each of the girls sing and offers Amelia the chance to open for her that nig This is book three of The Legend of Nyx series and sees Nicky looking to hire some new back-up singers for her club and Devin has arranged for three young women to come in for an audition。 The women are Amelia, Katie and Rose。 Katie is over confident and pushy about her talent, whereas Rose is best at operatic arias which are not quite what Nicky’s club is about, and then the shy and timid looking Amelia。 She listens to each of the girls sing and offers Amelia the chance to open for her that night, as her other main singer Geraldo had to leave suddenly after a death in his family。 Katie seems quite jealous of Amelia, voicing that it should have been her to have the first chance to sing, but Nicky takes on all three and offers them the chance of being regular back-up singers and to open for her and Geraldo at times。 Amelia opens up for Nicky and she asks the other two girls to take in the atmosphere in the club and see her act as well。 Nicky notices her young charge Malinda is hanging around the bar with an unsuitable character and decides to speak to her later。 But the evening doesn’t end smoothly, as one of the girls ends up dead in the car park, with no apparent cause。 It wasn’t a vampire as there are no marks on their body, but her sidekick Felix, from her Neck days, enters the dead body to examine it and declares that the girl’s soul has been taken!What sort of creature or monster could steal someone’s soul, is a new one for Nicky and she asks for help from Dr Cain and others and is lead to the conclusion, especially from one of her dreams, that the Grimoire of the Nazarene is involved and Mina from the Order of the Morning Dawn is desperate to obtain it, so she can call forth angels to kill all of those she and others deem unacceptable! Her dream of the Nazarene gives her vague clues on how to destroy the Grimoire, to stop the chance of anyone using it, something no one else has ever be able to destroy and which can do great harm if allowed to continue to exist。 She and Devin attempt to seek out the location of the grimoire, thought to have been buried with a body, on his father’s request, but no one knows the name of the deceased or where the body was buried! Another victim is killed at Nicky’s club and she finds another was killed while she was away, making it personal for Nicky。 She needs to find the person stealing souls and killing people close to her and the club, before this being becomes too strong to take down。 Some exciting new talent for Nicky’s club brings its own danger and somehow this is all linked to the grimoire, the Nazarene, Mina and her group, and all the killings going on, which continue to escalate on both sides of the fight。 Nicky may have both Devin, a warlock, and Malinda, a witch, on her side but may have to make a deal with the devil to save her friends and stop this killer!

Nicky is back and at the club but of course problems arise and must be solved。 Action, danger, death and funny times all occur in the story。 So kept me glued to the end while entertaining me as always。 Loved the story and a few surprises。 Kept me reading tot he end to see what was going to pop up this time。 And there is the issues with Mina to be dealt with。 Just a fun story。

Loved this book。 These characters have become so special to me and I just love reading about them。 I love to see what is going to happen next in their lives。 They are so vibrant and realistic and draw me into the book。 Love the world building that the author does。 Storyline was interesting and kept me turning the pages and wanting more。 Can’t wait to see what next book has to offer。 I received this book as an ARC and this is my honest review。

I loved this third installment in Nyx's series。 Nicky/Nyx is just a fabulous character that always leaves me wanting more! In this one, everything seems to be a bit slow on the vampire hunting scene for Nyx and although there are other things she needs to take care of in order to finally defeat Mina and the rest of the Order of the Morning Dawn, there's not much she and her boyfriend Devin can do right now。 However, when one of the new performers at Nicky's dies a mysterious death, worries start I loved this third installment in Nyx's series。 Nicky/Nyx is just a fabulous character that always leaves me wanting more!

But will they be able to stop Mina in time? Do the dreams really reveal what she needs to do? You'll have to read this book to find out! I loved this plot and the big baddy behind it all - or should I say baddies, one of whom was a complete surprise! I loved Brucie the most in this one - his payments for his actions were just hilarious! Theo's writing style just pulls me in every time and I have now read a lot of his work。 It is funny, laugh out loud funny at times and serious when it needs to be。 You can feel the emotions of the characters and I love the way they all interact with each other even when they are enemies! This series is a great one with a great main character, great side characters and an imaginative plot every time! A must read! Thank you to Theo for an ARC copy of this book! I can't wait for the next one! 。。。more

I got this book for free thru an Advanced Review Copy, ARC, with an honest review freely given。 I thought the storyline was a funny and quirky read and I absolutely loved it and this is my opinion。 I thought the character built up was spot on and I felt it made the story better in my opinion。 When I received this book I was able to read it from the very beginning to the very end。

And even so, Nyx takes the whole the whole verse to a brand-new level, she is the embodiment of queerness, through and through, not a token queer to please the masses, but a fully fleshed character that brings us into a journey to find/regain her true identity while letting us take part in an amazing urban fantasy adventure。 Monroe uses his highly original style to criticize societal norms without ever for a nanosecond forget his very first intention: to entertain the reader to the fullest。“The Legend of Nyx” is the latest addiction to the “Gates of Eden”, an fully original verse that loosely borrows Arthurian tropes and transfer them organically into a modern urban fantasy that spans centuries, crossing realms and blurs the boundaries between reality and legend and transforms them into a veritable smørrebrød of action, unexpected twists, wonderful characters and mind-blowing descriptions, garnished with a good dose of magic some sprinkles of mythical lore and some paranormal romance on the side, and served with very well-crafted, with an accurate world building, interesting characters, captivating writing style and carefully editing。 Monroe’s ‘Garten of Eden’ verse is populated by a vast number of extraordinary characters, which are (unless very subjectively) almost impossible to rank, but even among the best of the best, Nyx is even more remarkable than the rest 😉 。。。more

Even though I know Theo's writing style by now, having read all his books, I'm still surprised at myself at how I sometimes forget that Theo injects humour into his books until I find myself grinning at a certain sentence or phrase。 I love the play on words, I find it intelligent and inspiring。 As to the actual story, well, as always, brilliant。 I always find Theo's books thought provoking, even though it's about Vampires, Sprites, Witches,etc。 Nicky/Nyx is such a special character, well rounded Even though I know Theo's writing style by now, having read all his books, I'm still surprised at myself at how I sometimes forget that Theo injects humour into his books until I find myself grinning at a certain sentence or phrase。 I love the play on words, I find it intelligent and inspiring。 As to the actual story, well, as always, brilliant。 I always find Theo's books thought provoking, even though it's about Vampires, Sprites, Witches,etc。 Nicky/Nyx is such a special character, well rounded, credible and totally unapologetic of who she is。 She refuses to allow bias and prejudice to define her and would rather not focus on any negative energy sent her way。 Life for Nicky is uncomplicated, until it suddenly isn't。 She has her famous club, she has the devotion of Devin and she's even taken a young witch under her wing。 So far as Nicky's concerned, life is great。 Then suddenly a death occurs, then another and Nicky, Devin and Malinda are forced into action。 And what intense action it is! Chasing down the killer unravels a whole new problem! I love the intricacies of the storyline, the fact that the plot expands gently yet in a well paced manner and most of all, I love reading how Nicky solves the riddle, or at least tries to。 This book is yet another winner!I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

So, book three。 A little different this one and all the better for it。 It starts off at a reasonable level and the ramps up and up to an ending I certainly didn’t see coming。 What’s book four going to be like I wonder。 This is a cracking series, one which I wasn’t sure I would like, boy has that changed。 Highly recommended。

I only find joy when reading his books and the need to not sleep till the end (who needs sleep anyways)。This series as many of his others are great for YA and up。 They are engaging and give a new spin to all supernatural。 Many supernaturals intertwine in his stories and I just love I can get a multiple fix in one sitting。 SO go read No Shift, Sherlock and read about our funny detective Nicky。 :)I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more
