Just when Phoebe spotted her missing brother, another case distracted her and then he was gone. Into thin air gone. Unfortunately, the case she is working on is too important to put off. Literally life and death.

Friends and co-workers are needed to save the shifters in danger. Are they willing to cross the lines she is?
Wonderful world-building, great characters, and situations that will amaze. Never a dull moment and just when you think things will settle down the author leads us into the next journey of danger for Phoebe.
Phoebe is on fire in Bloodlust By Midnight, a vampire drug is laced with a toxin that is sending shifter’s crazy and yes I know shifters are just crazy by nature but this drug is enhancing their crazy to a whole new level of murderous insanity.
When Phoebe’s partner Dax is infected it becomes more personal for Phoebe even though she is NOT in love with Dax she kinda, sorta has feelings for him, so saving him is a must.
What a really good mystery there were great twists and turns, I loved the final fight and omg that ending, that ending was just brilliant and I am now hanging out for the next story will Dax pick up on his partner’s differences????, Will Phoebe handle her new world???? omg so exciting.
Wow! I can’t even say how great this book is. I enjoyed the first couple in the series (prequel and book 1) but this one weaved a story that had so much detail and mystery, I was reading into the wee hours because I had to see what happened next. But be warned….This one ends on a cliffhanger that will make ya wanna chew out your fingernails with anticipation for the next one. Though that could just be me, LOL. I love the characters in this series and with each installment new characters join the party. This book is such a fun escape.
What a great story with so many interesting and well-developed characters. Phoebe and Dax are dizzling together and there is a healthy dose of action and suspense. And the ending left me staggering. It’s going to be a terrific next story. It is part of Last Witch Standing series, but can be easily understood and enjoyed as a standalone. Highly recommended to any lover of this genre.
Bloodlust by Midnight by Deanna Chase is the second novel in Last Witch Standing series. Phoebe Kilsen, witch and vampire hunter for the Void, is heading for the Arcane library to pick up some research from swamp witch, Simone Bernard. After dealing with a vampire who decided to get too close, Phoebe arrives at the library to find Simone injured and clutching a neon green syringe in her hand. The deadly drug, Scarlet has been harming and killing shifters including Leo’s girlfriend, Rhea. After obtaining help for Simone, Phoebe is summoned to Director Halston’s office. The director explains that the drug has been altered to prey on shifters. She wants Phoebe and her partner, Dax Marrok to round up the living victim’s before they harm others. Dax texts that he has information on Phoebe’s missing brother, but before he can provide details he is attacked with the toxic Scarlet. Phoebe needs to find the culprit behind these dastardly deeds and procure a cure before it is too late. Will Phoebe be able to rescue Dax? What happened to Phoebe’s brother?
Bloodlust by Midnight is best read after Soulless at Sunset otherwise you will be confused in the beginning. The book is well-written with a fast pace. You will be on the edge of your seat as Phoebe races against time to save Dax and the other affected shifters. She is worried about her missing brother, but Phoebe knows that she must prioritize (no matter how much she wants to chase down the lead on her brother). There are vampires, witches, shifters and humans in this paranormal adventure. Phoebe needs to find out who is behind the deadly drug while keeping an eye on Dax (the drug has terrible side effects). Phoebe is a strong, smart female character who will do what it takes to protect those she cares about and the members of the paranormal community. Dax and Phoebe are a good pairing. You can feel the chemistry between them. I do want to warn readers that the story contains foul language and the intimate scenes are descriptive. My rating for Bloodlust by Midnight is 4 out of 5 stars. I thought the ending to be clever and humorous. It will leave readers dangling and desperately wanting the third book in the Last Witch Standing series.
