    About this audiobook

    Eons ago, vampires tried to turn the Dark Fae in order to harness their power. Instead, they created a demonic enemy more powerful than they dared to dream. Bent on enslaving the world, the Vampiric Fae have been quietly massing their strength for centuries. Now, Myst, queen of the Indigo Court, is rising again...and a long-prophesied war is brewing.



    Born a witch, Cicely Waters can control the wind. When her Elemental warns her that her aunt and cousin are in danger, she packs her Pontiac GTO and returns home for the first time in twenty years. But the magical town of New Forest, Washington, has changed. The Indigo Court holds the city in fear, people are vanishing, and strange deaths plague the town. Swept into an unexpected and passionate reunion with her trusted childhood friend Grieve, the Fae prince who taught her how to harness the wind, Cicely finds herself with a fierce and territorial lover. But Grieve has become enslaved by Myst's court, and now both lovers must walk a fine line to survive the machinations of the Vampiric Fae Queen. Caught between two evils, both vying for supremacy, Cicely must fight for her family and her future. As she discovers the hidden secrets to her own heritage, will she lose her soul in the process?

      I just finished reading Night Myst. It is a paranormal written by Yasmine Galenorn. Cicely Waters is a witch with an affinity for the wind element. She’s been on the run with her mother for all her life. When the wind tells her that her aunt and cousin are in danger, she rushes back home. What she goes home to shocks her in more than one way.I really loved this book. I have to be honest. I have read this book once about three or four years ago. I re-read it because I have finally tracked down the rest of the series. I also re-read it because I wanted to give my review for it. I was hooked on this book the first time I read it and this time wasn’t any different. I loved how all the characters are relatable. I love how I felt what the characters were feeling. There wasn’t really anything that I didn’t like about this book. There were some parts that I wish had been explained more, but it was understandable with the explanation that was laid down. That’s all I can really think of that was wrong with the book. I have a feeling that this will become one of my favorite series.I fully recommend this book. I especially recommend it to those who like paranormals. Especially paranormals that focus on magic. I was hooked on this book. I’ve already started on the second book! I hope everybody who reads it enjoys it as much as I do. I’m so glad that I got a chance to read this book and can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

      I have had this book on my reading list for some time and finally picked it up at the library to read. There are 5 books planned for this series; the 4th book, Night Vision, just came out in July 2013. I was excited to read this book since I love urban fantasies featuring fae, but this book was pretty disappointing for me. The characters sound awkward and the setting is a bit corny.Cecily Waters can control the wind and has been called home after learning that members of her family are disappearing. Shortly after returning she finds out that the Indigo Court has taken over the forest and is kidnapping magic users. As she delves into the mysteries of the Indigo Court she finds they hold her childhood sweetheart, Grieve, in their thrall. As Cecily gets further and further drawn into the mystery she finds herself aligning with the Vein Lords and discovering disturbing things about her own nature.I didn't like this book that much at all. The world was interesting but the characters sound awkward when they talk to each other. The characters talk really formal and just sound like bad actors reading poorly written parts. I had trouble reading it and keep having to concentrate really hard and go back a reread stuff.Cecily herself is a bit hard to engage with and pin down. Over and over she talks about she how she was on the run with her junkie mom and how that makes things hard for her. Yeah, I agree that would suck...but we don’t need to rehash this every chapter. Additionally Cecily gets new power on top of new power added to her character as the book progresses..it was a bit excessive. Then she does strange things like lament at the loss of life as she is creeping through a creepy cave rescuing her friends. Really, does she really have time to spend all this thought on her morailty while everyone is going to die if she does move her butt?!Cecily and Grieve are supposed to have this span the ages type of romance going on. But Grieve is part of the Indigo Court now and he is just creepy. The scenes between the two are kind of icky feeling. They say they love each other but pretty much there’s nothing else but sex going on here. Grieve coerces Cecily a lot and there’s a lot of dirty talk. I kind of felt like I was watching a bad porn during their love scenes not seeing two people desperately in love with each other.Cecily is also forced into a sexual relationship with a member of the Red Court as part of a contract with them. Again this was just yucky and awkward feeling.Aside from all of my problems with the awkward characters the story was also a bit silly. It kind of goes like this...Is the Indigo Court fey? NO! Is the Indigo Court vampiric? NO! Get ready for it....they are actually....vampiric fey...ooooohhhhh so scary. The whole thing was a bit corny and the story never really drew me in. All in all there wasn’t much I liked about this story except for the world. I liked the idea of different Fey/vampire courts and enjoyed the idea of the seasons being influenced by them.Unfortunately I got the second book in this series to review, so I am probably going to have to struggle through that one as well since I always try to read the books I get for review. I just really did not enjoy Galenorn's writing style.Overall definitely not one of my favorite urban fantasy reads. The language is awkward, the characters are hard to engage with, the romance is creepy, and whole plot comes across as corny. The world is somewhat interesting but that is about it. If you are interested in reading an urban fantasy about fey I would recommend: the Alex Craft series by Kaylana Price, the October Daye series by Seanan McGuire, The Fairwick Chronicles by Juliet Dark, or The Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa. All of these are much, much better books than this one.

      I'd really enjoyed Yasmine Galernorn's Otherworld series, urban fantasy stories which tend towards sexy paranormal romance romps. I like the interplay between her characters there a lot, and I like that the romances don't make me want to punch one/both/all the romantic leads in the face. Anyhow, I figured I'd give her Indigo Court series a try... but it just doesn't do it for me because the main character isolates herself so much that I miss out on the character interactions that made me love the Otherworld books. It was still decent, just not as awesome as I'd hoped. Oh well! I've still got plenty more of her books to try. :)
    • 5/5
      While darker than her Otherworld books, the first book in Yasmine Galenorn's new Indigo Court series has the same magnetic pull to the plot and characters. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down until it was over. Even then, I immediately looked up the schedule for the release of the second book in the series.Like most of her works, they are not written for the very young reader. I would advise parents to read it first before considering it as suitable for their teenagers to read.

I idn't really enjoy Cicely, the main character, I found her to be whiny, and stupid. I mean really. You embark on a rescue mission, and once you find the people you are going to rescue, you charge in and make noise so your enemies see you? Come on! The whole book is very Romeo and Juliet. Lovers on opposite sides, with being re-incarnated soul mates and having lived previous lives etc. The Vampires were creepy, and not all that well developed or described if you ask me. I found the whole book to be rather ... boring and just well, incomplete. I feel bad for Grieve. Oh, yea forgot to mention him. The star crossed lover. Literally. He has starry eyes.. Cicely left him when she was 17, tattood herself a wolf at some point, and then had an instant 'connection' with Grieve. Whom she loves and is a fae prince... and is now ready to start a life with. Only when she returns, New Forest is... New... Whod of thunk it? Grieve has been changed by the Indigo Court and goes back and forth from nice grieve to mean grieve. I'd say it was more 2.75 stars out of 5. The world is interesting, but everthing else, and all the characters were flat and stupid
    • 4/5
      I've been enjoying Yasmine's writing for well over ten years, starting with her non-fiction, and I have yet to be disappointed. Cicely Waters is a young witch who's come back to her home city, her mother dead, and her friends and family disappearing and dying. She is quickly pulled into the world of the vampires and a mysterious entity known as the Indigo Court, fae who had been changed by vampires long ago but morphed into their own chaotic race. The court, headed by Myst, is apparently kidnapping the magic-born (those who become witches) and also has the police under her sway so the missing are not being tracked. Cicely takes on the challenge of finding her aunt and the other missing magic workers of the town. Along the way, she crosses paths again with Grieve, a friend from her childhood whom she'd loved, who has now changed in frightening ways as part of the Indigo Court.What bond is it bringing together Grieve and Cicely? Why do her tattoos respond as though they have a spirit of their own? What more is there to Cicely's life aside from what she's been told by her mother, who could not handle her own magic and let her own life become a ruin? What do the vampires, the fae, and the vampiric fae want in all of this?This is a fast-paced story, already with some twists and turns to develop as the series progresses. It's not bogged down with constant sex scenes, which is always a plus in my book. I have again been charmed by Yaz's writing and why must I wait a year for the next installment?
    • 3/5
      This was a fast paced book full of exciting turns leading from one adventurous situation to another. It was full of fae lore with a few added twists that I would like to further explore and see what it revealed in the next books. But while I enjoyed reading this book, I felt I only got to know on the main characters on the surface and not any deeper. The ending was a bit anticlimactic for me, actually a bit of a let down but left me with enough curiosity that I do plan on reading the next book in this series, Night Veil.
    • 4/5
      Night Myst is the first book the Indigo Court series, by Yasmine Galenorn. Yasmine Galenorn has the ability to set up a very interesting and intriguing world. I enjoyed that Night Myst was told from Cicely's point of view.I have to say that I loved the idea of Vampirie Fae, I don't believe I have read a book with them before, and it was an interesting twist. The vampire fae was a failed experiment by the Crimson Court to enslave the fae. However the vampire fae became a separate court, the Indigo Court, that is led by the first vampire fae Queen Myst. The Indigo Court is consumed by hatred and revenge and wants war. I loved the twist and turns about Myst and the Indigo Court. I loved the tension in Night Myst with so many of the characters walked a fine line between good and evil, you didn't always know who to trust.Night Myst is dripping with sex, especially Lannan. He can manipulate desire, and enjoys both pleasure and pain equally. Cicely's interactions with him are sizzling, seductive, and dirty. There were a few times I both dreaded and anticipated these senses. The vampires in Night Myst are predators by nature, but what I loved about it was that they were really evil, and didn't pretend to be otherwise. They make Cicely do things she regret, but things could be worse because they aren't the worst evil in New Forest. Cicely picks the lesser of two evils, and joins forces with the vampires to fight the Indigo Court.Cicely's true love, Grieve also has some hard decisions and sacrifices he must make throughout Night Myst. Some of his decisions come with intense consequences. I loved how dark and mysterious Grieve is. There relationship is not neat, or easy, it's impulsive and completely compelling. You will want to keep reading until the next scene with Cicely and Grieve, and once you get there you will want to read until the next, until the book is finished. Overall I enjoyed Night Myst. I enjoyed the hard choices that Cicely is forced to make. Cicely and Grieve have some very sexy moments, and there are a number of wonderful twist and turns to really add to the plot of Night Myst. You want want to put it down and Night Myst will have you reading late into the night. Night Myst has potential for becoming a highly addictive series.The only thing I didn't like in Night Myst was there were times that I thought it got repetitive where Cicely was explaining things to new characters. I also noticed some errors where things didn't match up, with what was going on. I have to say that Night Myst is a wonderful start to a new series by Yasmine Galenorn, and I am dying for book two, Night Veil, due out next summer.
    • 3/5
      This is a two-star book with a great narrator so I gave it a three-star rating. I decided to buy the book because I love her other Other World series. The writing style was fine as was the book but it was so depressing that it was hard to finish the book. Because of how depressing this book was I decided not to continue into the rest of the series.
