*This is only my review for Forsaken by Night... other reviews to come separately.* 
 Well this was an interesting little story. Larissa Ione is still a newer author to me. I know she's been doing this for a while but I've only found her work at the end of 2015. I have to admit... I really love her writing style. Even with a novella length story like Forsaken by Night, she managed to engage me and have me really root for Lobo and Tehya. Maybe it could be because there were wolves? I love dogs! No, that's not it. They were just good characters. 
 I feel that Forsaken by Night was basically a novel length story with all the fat trimmed. Like this could have been expanded into a full length story fairly easily. I'm not 100% sure if I would have enjoyed a story in this vein (view spoiler)[The vein of one of the romantic leads is a wolf... but like not in a gross way. She can shift into a human thank goodness. But still... it's a bit of a stretch to all of a sudden have your dog turn into a sexy lady and then you bang her. Like... shouldn't there be an awkward period of adjustment here somewhere? (hide spoiler)] if it had been full length but I'm pretty sure Larissa Ione could have pulled it off. There were some issues that I felt could have been cleared up given some extra room for exploration. Go read that spoiler if you want to know. It's actually kind of funny. Ha! But for the sake of the story just being a quick, fun read... this succeeded greatly. 
 As for smut, there wasn't a lot of it for obvious reasons you will understand after reading the story. But what we did get was pretty awesome. Damn Larissa Ione... you're a wicked wordsmith! I had already read the first 2 books and I think I will continue on with this series. Sometimes I do find myself stretching to get into some of the world building but Larissa Ione is so good that I'm willing to continue on.
