Could have been better - felt disjointed and a weird way to keep the characters going by introducing new ones

It has been 6 years since the Blood Moon battle, and Lucy, along with her boyfriend Nicholas, have set up a place where both vampires and Helios-Ra hunters who have problems with each other go, so they can get over their prejudices. Aggie, a Helios-Ra student, has been bought up by her sister to hate vampires but she particularly distrusts Cal, a vampire with burning blue eyes. As the winter solstice approaches and a new type of vampire hunter group are becoming more dangerous, Aggie and Cal have to work together to save their friends, and she must discover the real reason she thinks Cal is a threat.
The Longest Night is a good short story and it was nice to see some of my favourite characters back and to see what they have been up to since the last book. However, that being said, it felt like the characters had not matured much in the six years, and with how they acted it could have been set less than a year after the Blood Moon battle.
Aggie was an interesting character as she wants to live up to her deceased sister’s beliefs and decisions, but at the same time wants to make her own opinion on what is right and wrong. The romance in this book is good, but I wish there was more of Nicholas and Lucy as they are one of my favourite couples.
This is a really enjoyable novella, however I wish it was a bit longer. I would recommend The Longest Night to fans of the Drake Chronicles.

“You know, most people collect stray dogs, not rabid homicidal teenagers.” Ofcourse Lucy would set up a halfway house for vamps and hunters with anfer management issues. Aggie and Cal are brilliant, as are some of the other young students. I liked seeing all of the main character from the series as adults (even if they are still all in their 20s). Most of all though I loved seeing the character development of Aggie. The only bad thing about this book was finishing it and realising there was nothing left. Still I would give this story more than 5 stars if I could.

Romance novel pieces and still the ending of my grand sweeping longest running little series in the last few years, I'm pleased to say I enjoyed this very last little novella tacked on. Showing me where all my favorite girls and guys ended up after all. I'm in love and I hope that we'll see more of them in the future, but if we don't I'll be perfectly content leaving them where they ended up here, too. Bravi.

I totally loved this novellas also, I did totally really wanted more of this. Ugh the premise was amazing and the whole mystery aspect to this had me on my toes. It was definitely interesting to read about what everything was up to.
I loved learning that Quinn and Hunter are getting married. I especially loved when hunter said this "We might elope... do you think Helena will pull out my spleen" ugh it was my favorite.
Lucy and her farm full of delinquents vampires and hunters was something that I did not see coming but she does have an amazing heart so I can see why.
I really hope everyone reads this novella!!!

This was a wonderful surprise to me! I was not aware that we were going to get some more Drake books! I enjoyed the story and how Lucy and Nicholas are living now. I was confused at first about who Aggie was until a friend told me she was new in this book, but I loved learning her history and seeing her mature throughout this little novella. Great addition to the series. Keep them coming Ms. Harvey!
