(I read the Kindle edition btws)
Okay, bare with me here. Read it. Seriously i was about to rip out my own hair so many times its not even funny. But its worth it. It seems like an endless amounts of pain, and i just seriously wanted to give up. I would read get mad walk away and come back two seconds later. Seriously its worth it. Anyways WARNING: its a bit dark...when i say that i mean, violent.
Lovely Laylah is getting married unfortunately not to who we want her to :( but don't worry good things do happen for our favorite Mixed-breed, i refuse to call her a half-breed because yeah my own reasons you don't care. Moving on. So we follow Laylah, her new husband. Her father and grandmother are in the story mostly in the beginning and disappear.
--I'm going to mention how much I've hated Jacques in the first two books and i don't feel bad about saying that he could have saved her so many times, and he can't hide behind this is what's best for her shit anymore! God... sorry anyways i don't hate him as much anymore, he does redeem himself so YAY
Donil, Stefan, and them, well we get new heroes in this story was well, along with a new "sort of" love interest Miguel. And as much as i love him, and i do, i hate the idea of another love interest but i dealt because Miguel was a shining bright star of hope when i thought all was lost. so yeah to say that i like him a little it of an understatement, be patient its a long, long book so he doesn't show up right away.
The villains, i don't think that words describe how much i hate them, which means that they are really well written. Some villains i am super just like just laughing at. But these guys, be prepared to want to jump in the book and kill them yourselves.
Over all its hard to read, not because its long, or badly written, cause it's not. Its because of the subject matter. but if you care about this series you hope for the best for Laylah then keep going. I am not going to comment on the end spoilers you know. So don't give up, its worth it.

3.5 This dragged on too long with a surfeit of repetitive scenarios that failed to contribute more to the story. The principal character Laylah, is so submissive that she continues to take a litany of abuse and in the end, this becomes boring and tiresome.
Was this the end? Who knows. It would appear this series ends in flux.

Let me start of by saying I love this series. But this book was hard for me to read. This is by far the most brutal book of the whole series. And the worst book for Laylah. She goes through so much in this novel, she endured humiliation, physical abuse and verbal abuse . Yon (Laylah's Husband) is the most evil character I have read. And I've read books with some really horrible characters. But Yon made me want to jump in the book and choke him. He's like the devil reincarnated. I wanted Laylah to have an "Incredible Hulk" moment and retaliate on everyone who physically hurts her. Night Betrayals is not a happy go lucky kind of novel. And Ms. Spletzer ended this third novel in the most nail biting way. Another cliffhanger. But I'm definitely anticipating the next installment to Werelove.
In Night Betrayals, Laylah goes through so much in this novel. So when she gets the chance to be happy, I'm holding my breath for her. I was worried that someone would come and mess it up for her. I wanted her to be happy and smile for once in this book. If I could have, I would have stood by guarding her, making sure no one interferes. She even meets a new character who was loyal from the beginning. I fell in love with him. They quickly become friends and he brought some light to her dark days. That was refreshing in this novel.
Night Betrayals introduces you to quite a few characters. You are introduced to a bunch of Were politicians, lots of Were laws and different clans. This is where I usually get lost. Ms. Spletzer does introduce quite a few characters and by the time I get to the next chapter, I forget who they are. So I ended up a little lost. But lucky for me, she's pretty good at answering her readers questions. So with her help, I was able to pick up and enjoy the story. I honestly don't know how she keeps up with her characters herself. It's impressive if you ask me.
As much as this book made me cringe, I enjoyed reading it. I really enjoyed reading about how many people really did love Laylah and how they all wanted to help her. Donil got a lot of page time in this novel and that made me happy. However, he really did annoy the hell out of me. He had his moments of acting like a possessive teen with his tantrums. I wanted to go in the book and smack him upside his head. Ms. Spletzer did a good job with every character's personality. They're all unique in their own way. So for all of you who have picked up her first two novels, you have to continue. In this book, you'll see life outside Laylah's father's house and her life as a married woman. I give Night Betrayals a 4.5 stars and a definite Good Choice for Reading!!

This continuation of the Werelove series is another suspense-filled volume, hard to put down. Layla, the protagonist, continues to develop as the author puts her into ever more desperate and painful situations. The novel is filled with intrigue, plots and counterplots, and, as the title implies, betrayals that leave the reader wondering along with Layla who can be trusted and what the various factions are really up to--and just how much abuse poor Layla can endure. We admire her courage in the face of great adversity and grow ever more eager to see her fight back. Again the novel's cliff-hanger ending left me eager to read the next volume in what the author has said will be a five-book series.
