Just when you think things can’t get much more intense, Cradit starts to pull out some pretty powerful stops. The Midnight Dynasty storyline is an intense one, and Act II proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Curse behind this storyline is alive and well. As for the Deschanels, alive and well aren’t the best descriptors. Everyone is a target. Who will be a victim of the Curse and who will be a victim of themselves?
Act II: Convocation is arguably Cradit’s best work yet. She treats us to a little Historical Fiction in this one, which couldn’t have made me happier. It served to strengthen the story and give us a glimpse of her remarkable talent to write anything! In fact, she has written me a new book boyfriend. Dare I say, my beloved Oz Sullivan now has competition for my heart? Oh yes, he does. And that competition comes in the form of Jacob Donnelly! Goodness, that man is causing me to have less-than-pure thoughts! I am torn at this point…Oz/Jacob/Oz/Jacob…what’s a girl to do?!
I really can't say enough about this book, this story, this series, this author. Midnight Dynasty is shaping up to be one of my all-time favorites books. Bring on Act III!
If you haven’t started the House of Crimson & Clover series, please do so immediately! You will be oh-so-glad you did!

* I received an ebook in exchange for an honest review. *
Where to start?!?!? Let's start with the darkness that Sarah has instilled in this "act". She has brought to light many things that the family would rather not know or share with others! She has made this story take a turn so unexpected and so sharp that even the most loyal fans had to take a minute and re-read parts of the story. I love her books, her writing style and her characters, but this one took a little while to process before writing the review. I did embrace the changes in the end of this story, but am looking forward to seeing where the next one takes us. This series has hooked me from the beginning and I need more! I have so many unanswered questions and so many things that I have been waiting for that I am so ready for act 3, let's just hope that my brain can handle it!!
I am looking forward to Alain's story, Ana's story and of course the story of Adrienne....who would have known that she wasn't the person that we all made her out to be?!?! Look out Oz, there are some surprises coming your way....I hope that they are good ones!! Add this and all of Sarah's books to your TBR list, it's a series that can't, shouldn't, and better not be missed!! Once you start, you are hooked and there is no turning back!!!

Okay, after the events of Midnight Dynasty: Malediction, I was desperate to dive into, Convocation. But, wow! This was a rough ride, it was like watching a train wreck combined with a car accident. It was shocking, sad, depressing, and completely awesome!! An amazing read that I couldn't have stopped reading if I'd tried.
I don't want to get into the storyline, I don't want to give any spoilers and if I talk about the content in any detail I would not only be giving spoilers concerning this novel but also the one before it. I will say this though, the writing is again incredibly fantastic, some of the best I've ever read. And the storyline...holy crap, but its crazy good. Sarah M. Cradit is weaving a spellbinding tale concerning the Deschanel's and their epic family curse.
The story is told from multiple points of view - yay! - with some of it told from new characters, or characters that have been met previously but never been able to dive into their heads, it's also told from some favorites of past novels. Including Adrienne and Oz!! Yay again!!
I can't wait to see who will live, who will die, if this curse can be broken, or even what it will ultimately take in order to break it. With questions floating through my brain, I'm excited to see how everything will come to a head and weave together with answers for the final novella for Midnight Dynasty. Here's hoping that my favorites get to live and live happily, cuz' if they don't then I'm going to have to down a good pint of ice cream to sooth my bookish heartache.

Get ready for another OMG edge of your seat thriller! As always Sarah Cradit has done it again and went above and beyond with this series! Each book just gets better and better. I feel I must say now that this book is not a stand alone. It is imperative that you read the previous books in this series first. Trust me you will NOT regret it!
In this book we continue learning more about the Deschanel family curse. This book is broken down into 3 parts. Here is Act 2
Convocation:
Act 2 brings some serious twists, turns, wow moments and most importantly more information! With Amelia being in a coma and only one person (and NOT who you think it would be) being able to reach her, the family is in caos. More death as the curse is quickly rampaging through the family like a tornado. In this act we learn more about exactly why the family is cursed and why it started. As new members from the family arise and they try to scramble to find a way to end this curse for good.
This installment to the series is so far my favorite! This book takes you on one amazing roller coaster ride. With many twists you won't see coming. It will leave you in suspense and wanting more as Sarah always does! BRAVO!! 5 stars across the board! I can NOT wait to read the next book!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES!!!
