Length: 2 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's summary

"Do you know what a papal conclave is?"

Damon: Will is gone. He hasn't been seen in months, and the texts coming from his phone are almost certainly forged. Something's wrong. We need to act now.

Michael is ready to tear down The Cove, Rika's hiding something, Evans Crist is a threat, and Winter's father is still out there. Everyone is off in a million directions, and we're vulnerable. It's time to do this. It's time to claim our place.

Rika: A few years ago, I never thought I'd be here. On board Pithom. Miles out at sea. At a table with Michael Crist, Kai Mori, and Damon Torrance - men I now consider family.

We've locked ourselves on this yacht for however long it takes to address our agenda, and we won't leave until everything is on the table. Even things I don't want to talk about. Things Michael doesn't know.

We will find Will. We will solidify our plans, and we will remove any threats. If we survive Conclave.

Contains mature themes.

The perfect transition to the next book.

Well this is one novella I was not expecting to like as much as I did! It gave me exactly what I needed as far as an update on how things were going with Damon and Winter as well as him and Rika. I was not expecting that little twist with Rika and Michael but hey I got more of Michael basically professing his undying love and obsession with Rika so I'll take it! Seriously, I can never get enough of the things he says to her about how she is his entire world. It's my favorite thing about them haha!
Oh and the engine room?? WORTH IT.

Good segway

This was a good Novela. It provided details about Rika and Michael and gave us a glimpse into Damon and Willows life. His animosity with his birth mothe is sad but understandable.

Intermission

The Devil’s Night Series is based on four friends and their love interests. Michael Crisp (Erika Fane), Kai More (Nikova Banks), Daman Torrance (Winter Ashby), and William Grayson III (Emory Scott).

THOUGHTS:
These books are more like a good intermission to the four main books that were written in The Devil’s Night series. They are short and give a little more insight into their lives.

I love the crew.

I enjoy this series so much because I loved following the characters through their lives and I always looked forward to catching up with them in the next book.

Background and in between.

Omg Damon is still my favorite 🥰
This covers some of what happens in the background of book 4 with focus on Damon and Winter, Alex, and Rika's and Michael's relationship.

Finally, they talk!

Y’all don’t understand how much these characters stressed me out when they kept ruining each other’s lives instead of sitting down to talk for 20 minutes. Only took 3 books, but they made it! This novella was quick, but I definitely feel like it’s essential to the storyline. Damon and Rika working together is a whole vibe.

I never thought I would love Damon

I truly never thought I could love demon but omg this with the extra scene just shows how amazing he can be. Rika still gets on my damn nerves but what else is new.

Enjoyable quick listen~

I wish more was discussed at the conclave. I always find myself wishing there was more details and elaboration in this series though (I hope Penelope Douglas’ other books aren’t as lacking as I have a few in my TBR list). That being said the spice was decent and the ending with Damon and Winter was sweet. The narration is getting better too. I don’t know if I’m just getting used to the narrators, having listened to the first 3 books already, or if they’re just settling into the roles better and sounding more natural now.

Nice little bridge to the next book

But I don’t understand why it couldn’t be apart of the next book and why it was it’s own little story for 2 hours. Nonetheless can’t wait to start Nightfall 🤗

Great novella

Idk what I missed lol but Will is MIA. Also, don’t scare me like that when a couple has already had their HEA. I swear if it would have been Michael with that woman on the boat I would have tested my phone across the room.
