Review: Knight

Knight by Kristen Ashley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Old review:
3.5 stars
Let me just say that whatever i had against KA book is slowing melting away. I'm astounded that i am actually liking her books now...so thank you force of nature for forcing me to read her.
This was a good read though i certainly wish he was not so alpha, to be noted i am not complaining so thank you Kristen for a good book

New Review (After Reread):
On this rereading of Knight, I still enjoyed the romance and found myself appreciating Knight and Anya’s relationship even more. The intensity and protective alpha energy are very “KA” and still not entirely my style, but I can see why so many readers adore it. The pacing held up, the emotional beats landed, and while it won’t be my favorite KA book, it’s one I’m glad I revisited.

Review: Night's Fall

Night's Fall by Kristen Ashley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I just finished Night’s Fall by Kristen Ashley, and honestly, it was such a delightful ride. A few pages in, I was already laughing, grinning at the banter, and fully invested in the tension between the characters. The events unfolded in that signature Kristen Ashley way, full of energy, chemistry, and a touch of unpredictability. I really enjoyed it.

Laura and Aleksei made a great couple. Their dynamic worked. There was that mix of spark, conflict, and tenderness that kept me turning the pages. Watching their relationship build was satisfying, and I found myself rooting for them right from the start. Kristen Ashley really knows how to write romantic tension that feels alive, and she did not disappoint here.

Beyond the main romance, there were some side characters who completely caught my attention....especially Cat and Gayle. I’m genuinely excited to read their stories next. Cat has the potential for such a vibrant, engaging arc, and Gayle… well, Gayle is exactly my kind of character. I have a soft spot for a yearning man, and from what we’ve seen so far, his story could be absolutely delicious.

That said, while I loved the read overall, I do think the world-building could have been stronger. At times, it felt slightly chaotic. Like too many things were happening all at once without enough grounding. The different threads sometimes competed for attention rather than coming together seamlessly, and I would have appreciated a bit more focus or clarity in how the setting and lore were developed.

Still, despite that, Night’s Fall was a fun, engaging book that gave me plenty of moments to smile about. The characters pulled me in, the romance worked beautifully, and I’m already looking forward to diving into the rest of the series.

Three weeks since I’d buried my dagger in the king’s heart, and the world still smelled of his rotting reign.

Kalith Village, a small village in the outskirts of the kingdom buzzed like flies on a corpse. And in the Rusty Hinge inn, men toasted the king’s demise with ale thick enough to drown their own sins. Others, the ones who’d profited from his cruelty, drank in silence, their knuckles white around their cups. Most didn’t care. A dead king was just another corpse.

But I cared.

Because the bastard had laughed as he died.

And the "his" location was still unknown to me.
