Incantations and Inmates (Prisoners of Nightstone, #2)

by Helen Scott

A girl on the run should never fall in love with her bounty hunter. A witch should never fall in love, period.

But I did, and now I’m paying for my sins in Nightstone. I’m also committing all-new sins with a sexy alpha wolf and one delectable alpha vampire.

It’s unheard of: two alphas from two different factions, falling in love with one woman. Our relationship has brought new peace when everyone expected a turf war.

Except...someone needs that war between my two alpha males. Bodies are turning up in Nightstone. The vamps and the shifters crave vengeance from each other, and if their alphas won’t give it to them, they’ll wash Nightstone with blood anyway.

On top of that, that sexy jerk of a bounty hunter just swaggered into Nightstone, and everyone wants to kill him. Including me. Most of the time. His gaze still sets my blood on fire, and sometimes, I want the man to live long enough to grovel.

Can I find a way to keep peace between the factions—and between these two alpha males in my bed—and to save my bounty hunter’s life?

Like the first book in this series, I enjoyed this DESPITE the reverse harem. I'm not a big RH reader, but I do enjoy some erotica and so if the rest of the plot and characters are good enough a RH works for me. So far, this series is living up to those requirements.

I think it's the paranormal world that's really working for me. This book answered some lingering questions I had about the world and filled in more of the picture. Personally, I'd love to see some stories set in this world without the RH taking up so much space, because it's fascinating! I really like Nas - she's coming into her abilities more and that's making her into an actual threat to be reckoned with. Before she was clever and crafty, now she's a bit of a bad ass.

As for the guys... meh. They're your standard alphas... A shifter Alpha, A vampire alpha (that's a new one for me), and then you're standard Alpha human male. They're protective and controlling, but also sensitive and gentle. Ya know, imaginary lol! I like them much more when thinking about their roles in the plot than in their relationship with Nas. That said, some of the sexy times got fairly steamy and if you're a RH fan, you will probably really enjoy them!

I like the narrators for this series. They complement each other well. My one complaint would be that the male narrator doesn't do much (if anything) to differentiate the voices of the men and since the story is told from each of their perspectives at different times, that could get confusing. If I paused mid-chapter I had to to think to know who's POV I was listening to when I would resume. Otherwise, though, they have appropriately deep and sexy voices :)
