I was so honored last week when Kallypso Masters came to me and asked me if I would be willing and able to read through this book for her to catch any last details. Could it still draw me in as her Rescue Me series has, would it be a series I could invest in… The answer is a resounding yes!

The house on the cover is a real one in the very location mentioned in the story, Samuels, Kentucky. All of the Bluegrass Spirits books will be set in Kentucky, by the way.

Tillie Hamilton is the latest person to use her year-old house in rural Kentucky as a hideout—taking her cue from the infamous outlaw Jesse James who frequented the place. So excited to have found my writing passion again after it took a hit last year. But, as always, I have to follow my characters, whichever is screaming the loudest in my ear, or I just spin my wheels.

As their destiny on the ranch unfolds, watch them explore the BDSM lifestyle in ways that will delight. The greatest of these is the double-perspective narrative itself.

It quickly becomes clear that Ned's narrative is far more interesting than Ray's. This is compounded by the fact that Ray as a character feels forced and underdeveloped, and ultimately serves as more of a tool to unspool Ned's story than anything else. As the novel approaches its end, Ray's chapters become a major hindrance, and end up feeling like a distraction from the main event.
While Ned is a relatively interesting character, his wife, Laura, is shallow and only ever exists on the novel's periphery. By the end of the novel, it becomes clear that she is a plot convenience rather than a character in her own right. Similarly, Ray's love interest, Molly, is particularly hollow, and seems to only exist to give the novel its romantic sub-plot. Their relationship may well be the novel's weakest moment.
Neither are particularly interesting characters to begin with, which means that their relationship is ultimately mundane. It doesn't help that Molly seems to exist only as a cliche of a young person. At one point, she even refers to herself and her younger colleagues as "snowflakes" and expresses shock at what she sees as "old-school" alcoholism. The novel's ending is also disappointing. After over pages - some of which could have been trimmed down to create a leaner, more taut novel - the reader is given a fairly unsubstantial conclusion with few real answers.
That isn't to say that Under The Night is all bad. The novel is sometimes gripping and there is an appeal to Ned's chapters. Unfortunately, much of the enjoyment is dulled by frustrating plot developments, poor characters and a challenging narrative technique.
