Wow what an amazing ending to another great series by Ms Bast. She never leaves you feeling cheated in the end. I cannot wait for the next series. But this one definitely ended with a few bangs. Niall and Elizabeth were great together and there were lots of fun little plots twists and Harrowing moments both emotionally and magically. this was a book i know i will love to read again for many years to come.

I love Anya Bast! With that off my chest, I adore her Dark Magic series. Every book in the series to this point has been great and this one, Midnight Enchantment, fits right in with the rest. I love that she has us cheering for the Dark Fae even though they may have the more ruthless and less human characteristics. This reminds me of the Merry Gentry series with more plot and less sex, sex, sex. Don’t get me wrong, Ms. Bast writes some spectacular and steamy sex scenes and I really enjoy the MG series with the excess sex (because there’s always a good time and place for that) but I’ve found that Ms. Bast has such a great middle ground between steaming up the pages and providing a satisfying and intriguing plot to pull the story along. Big changes in Piefferburg in this story that will hopefully lead in to more from the series. Either way, I’m a big fan of Ms. Bast and can’t wait to read what comes next!

Midnight Enchantment (Dark Magick #4) by Anya Bast
The fourth and final (?) book in this series. In this book we meet Elizabeth Cely Saintjohn an asrai, a rare type of water fae. She is young, conflicted but determined. The Summer Queen has given Elizabeth two parts of the key needed to open the book that can free the fae from the prison that is Piefferburg. Neither want the walls to come down although for very different reasons. Enter Niall Quinn. He has been sent by the Shadow Queen to retrieve the keys.
I think this may have been the best book in the series. All of the characters are wonderfully multifaceted. A definite must read for Anya Bast fans.

Midnight Enchantment
3.5 Stars
Synopsis
Niall Quinn, mage and master thief, is tasked with finding Elizabeth Cely Saintjohn, a water fae, who has been charged by the Summer Queen with hiding two pieces of the bosca fadbh. Once in possession of the pieces, the fae will gain their freedom by bringing down the walls of Piefferburg. Elizabeth, however, has her own reasons for wanting the walls to remain intact and will stop at nothing to ensure it. Who will triumph in this battle of wills?
Review
A solid ending to an amazing series.
The romance is not as engaging as in the first three books possibly because Niall and Elizabeth are in constant conflict and working toward opposing goals, and it is therefore difficult to believe their relationship.
Moreover, Elizabeth is the only heroine in the series that did not appeal to me. While her motivation is understandable, she comes across as selfish and I could not accept her actions. In addition, her hot one minute, cold the next attitude toward Niall really began to irritate me after a while.
Nevertheless, the action scenes are exceptional as always even if the ultimate end to the fae's struggle for freedom is somewhat anti-climactic. The obnoxious Summer Queen and vile Amberdoyle ultimately get what they deserve, but it is not as satisfying as it could have been.
Overall, the series is entertaining and enchanting and I do recommend reading it.
