The Legend of Nyx #2
Bat Shift Crazy
Literally… I told myself I’d never go back. I’m returning to the Vilokan Asylum of the Magically and Mentally Deranged… Not to get treated… but perhaps Doctor Cain can help. The world’s original werewolf… and its first murderer. If anyone can help me get a handle on an undesirable shape-shifting situation… it’s him. But there is a coven of bat-shifting vampires with other plans. Surely their appearance and my… acquisition of this ability… isn’t a coincidence. If I’ve learned anything hunting vampires, it’s that I can guarantee that they’re up to no good. And I can’t help but wonder… am I the one hunting them? Or have the tables turned? Bat Shift Crazy is the second book in the Legend of Nyx series. If you enjoy shifter urban fantasy, vampire urban fantasy, with snarky and unlikely heroes, then you’ll enjoy this vampire hunter series. Fans of Michael Anderle, Shayne Silvers, or Linsey Hall will love Theophilus Monroe’s Legend of Nyx series. Bat Shift Crazy is a one-of-a-kind shape shifting LGBT adventure where a trans heroine must confront her inner demons if she hopes to vanquish the latest vampire threat. Nyx is a badass, trans woman. And every vampire's worst nightmare.

This is book two of The Legend of Nyx series and sees Nicky, only going by the name Nyx whilst she is hunting down vampires, in a proper relationship with Devin, who has discovered his warlock powers and helps Nyx to burn out the vampires hearts, before they take the bodies back to the old crematorium, now Nicky’s club and bar. She gets to headline on her own stage and has a solid following and is now introducing her flatmate and drag queen to also do an act. On their first night performing together, an old female vampire comes into the club and somehow manages to force Nicky to shapeshift into a bat! Being forced to drink Alice’s blood by Wolfgang, when the Order of the Morning Dawn captured them and he compelled her. Alice had the power to shift into a bat, something she had gained when she took Nyx’s ability to shapeshift, along with other abilities she managed to take from those she bit. The only person Nicky knows that might be able to help her with this strange urge to shift when she is around hungry vampires, is Doctor Cain, at the Vilokan Asylum of the Magically and Mentally Deranged. She never thought she would ever go back there voluntarily, but he may be the only person able to help her and Devin’s mother, who was drained by a powerful vampire. Mina, one of the innocent looking old women running the Order, managed to unstake all of the ancient vampires held beneath their church and in lots of other locations. Releasing all these ancient vampires has left yet another problem to be dealt with.
Turning up at the secret voodoo city, hidden under the city of New Orleans, doesn’t allow them immediate entry, until Annabelle verifies their identities and sends her own escort to them. This is the interesting rainbow snake shapeshifter Pauli, who can teleport them directly into the city. He is also rather flirty towards Nicky, which gets Devin a bit jealous! These bat shifting vampires have some sort of plan and what part Nicky and Devin have in it, is about to be revealed. Nicky suddenly having this unusual ability, is more than a coincidence and must be linked to the attack on Devin’s mother. Cain takes Nicky back into therapy and she ends up having to share a room with Devin’s mother, which makes for some interesting conversations, as his parents were deeply religious and hated his lifestyle, trying to force him to be like his father, who was high up in the Order. They saw Nicky as an abomination, and those like her, seeing them as being as bad as vampires and witches, even though the Order actually used both of those for their own gain. Mina is offering redemption to those who help her and the chance to live a life free from harm. But how much anyone should really trust her, given her role within the Order and her fanatic beliefs, is suspect. Cain calls in some extra assistance, but the Order have celestial magic under their belts and that is a hard nut to crack. Nicky thought she and Devin were the ones hunting down any vampires that came after them, but now it seems the tables have been turned and they are being hunted and Devin’s parents may have some critical information both sides will need to win the battle to come. Lots more to come for Nicky, Devin, Cain, the voodoo loas and all the other magical beings on their side. I look forward to more action to come. I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.

I picked this book more or less at random; I’d been reading too many non-fiction books lately and I needed something trashy and fun. This looked like that. I should have looked harder; it was the second book in the series. It hardly mattered, Theophilus did a good job with the character recaps in the first few chapters. I usually watch tv shows from the second or third ep anyway.
All in all, it exceeded expectations in every way. It seemed a bit queer from a passing glance, and I was delighted to find it was extremely rainbow hued, eschewing ‘representation’ for making the whole damn cast some variety of queer. The main character, Nyx/Nyxie, is a trans (in every way) woman, trapped in the body of a man via literal transformation. Even her name transforms. Really, I have yet to meet the perfect token gay, who inexplicably surrounds themselves with squares for the purpose of story representation. I suspect they don’t exist… so this is fine. I’m not sure if the author is LGBTQ, and I’m not trans myself. It didn’t seem like a poor portrayal, in basically any way. But I would love to hear a more informed opinion. If the author is straight, this book is miraculous, straight people are usually atrocious at writing queer characters.
The metaphor is extended with various other transforming creatures of the night, and that also worked surprisingly well. I never thought group therapy could be so amusing. As for the side characters, Cain is a particular favorite, though I may just have an affinity for the beastly professor archetype. Or, perhaps I just have a fondness for the figure the archetype is pointing to. It’s hard to say, at this point. It’s nice to see the author also has a fondness for the character; I may have to read his own series.
There are a few typos in the digital edition I read. But most of these typos are the sort that our magical "spell of check" inevitably misses. I’m an author too, and I know the struggle; good editors are hard to find and too expensive when you find them. But, Theophilus, if you 'want' a magic 'wand' to point out the 'rot' in what you have 'wrought', don't be a 'harrier,' and before things get 'hairier' you have this magic spell and find/replace. You're welcome. I deduct no stars for this.
Really, the fault here is more in the stars than in the text. If this was a ten star system this would get an easy 9. Sure, it’s not literature, but I really enjoyed it. Most of the jokes landed and the characters were amusing, if a bit ‘hanging on tropes for the sake of expediency’. All very nice.

I received a copy of this book from the author but this review is all my own!
This second book in this series was another great one. I love the characters of Nicky and Devin and how they are portrayed. Nicky is a water elemental, who used to be able to change human form to become whoever her prey most desired, but now she is stuck in human form, in the form of a male, but she identifies herself as a female. She has a couple of other personas - Nyx, the vampire hunter and a singing drag queen. Although she has a boyfriend, Devin, she's not yet fully prepared to give herself totally to the relationship, not because of past hurts, but because of how she used to feel when she would eat her human prey. Luckily for her, Devin is prepared to wait...for now...until she is ready.
When a female vampire appears in Nicky's club during her act, the vampire triggers a new change in Nicky, one she (and I) was definitely not expecting. At the same time, Devin's overly religious mother is attacked by vampires, leaving him with the difficult decision of whether to save her by turning her into a vampire herself or letting her die. With these two situations, Nicky only knows one place to turn to...a place she never really wanted to go back to, but the only place where she can get the help she and Devin's mum both need - the Vilokan Asylum, where we first met Nyx many books ago! There she is hoping that Cain can help her to get the answers she needs, but there's more than just answers awaiting her there....
I loved this story line and how some of the previous characters made their reappearances as well - Cain is a favourite character of mine and I cannot wait to read his series, which is coming out soon too! I liked seeing Annabelle and Hailey again too and Pauli, oh how I love Pauli! He needs his own series or novella too! Lots of fun, some heart-wrenching moments and a heap of action too! A great read and I can't wait for the next one in this series too!

You know when I read the title and summary for Bat Shift Crazy I’m not sure what I expected within but what I found was way different and definitely way more than I ever imagined. I loved the first book in the series Scared Shiftless but I do believe I loved the second book Bat Shift Crazy way better. I loved seeing more of Cain, my first remembrance of Cain was in The Blood Witch Saga.
A vampire comes into Nyx’s night club and while she is on stage singing she turns into a bat just as she spots the vampire sitting in the back. Nyx’s journey to find the vampire leads her to the one place she said she would never return to the Vilokan Asylum of the Magically and Mentally Deranged. Nyx needs help controlling her bat shifting and Cain is the one person who can help her.
I loved all the twists and turns, what a surprise some of them turned out to be on several different levels and for different reasons. I loved all the characters, especially Nyx. I love the way Nyx talks. I was laughing out loud on more than one occasion. I love this series so much and can’t wait to dive into the next book No Shift, Sherlock to see what lies ahead for Nyx.
I loved seeing characters from other stories in Bat Shift Crazy. I loved seeing and reading more about them and learning more about who they are. I love when characters cross over between stories. The world-building is top-notch.
I highly recommend Bat Shift Crazy to all vampire hunters. Grab your copy of Bat Shift Crazy today!

Never Slows Down . . .
This is another action-packed story in the Nyx series. It captures the reader from the first page as Nyx and her warlock boyfriend, Devin, are attacked by five vampires. I actually felt sorry for the vampires as the first move Nyx makes is to kick out with her 9-inch stiletto shoes (my legs cramped even trying to imagine walking in those) and impaled the vampire in the chest. Devin followed up with a fireball to make sure there would be no coming back from that encounter. (I then had to pause for wild laughter when Nyx says about their partnership, “I staked 'em. Devin baked 'em.”)
Nyx is now adjusting to life as a human, and even that is not stress-free. Her inner self is female while her outer self is male. Nyx/Nicky and Devin continue cleaning up the vampires that had been unleashed. Nicky is still performing at the club. And then a vampire walks in and a new kind of crazy begins. The vampire raised one hand into the air and snapped her fingers, shifting into a giant bat, then flew out the door as Nicky felt a tingling – and turned into a BAT!! The audience loved it, applauded wildly, thinking it was a new part of the show. But it wasn’t…
So much drama and many twists and turns. You are in for a wild ride, but then you probably knew that when you opened to page 1. Grab your copy and see where this one takes you.

Woohoo! More Nyx! I simply adore this character! As an Elemental, Nyx shapeshifters, for the sole purpose of luring her prey and consuming them. Until events changed her. She falls in love with a wizard and becomes as close to human as she can. She still struggles with her identity, she sees herself as a woman but is in a male body. The topic of sexuality and gender is so delicately shaped and profound, almost tenderly explored. She has a relatively normal life, has a club that is successful and hunts vampires on the side. Suddenly everything changes with the appearance of a Vampire in her club. This sets off a multitude of challenges, not least that Nyx finds herself shifting into a bat! Her boyfriend's mother is turned, which prompts them to get help from Cain. Things unravel quickly and soon they are all in danger. Loved that familiar characters are back, especially Pauli, who's a riot! Even Julie and Hailey are part of the story, which flows so well and are actually intricately vital to the plot. Great storyline, great plot, terrific characters and great overall! Vampires, Witches, Shapeshifters, Ghosts and redemption, this series has it all!

Nicky is adjusting to life with Devin and running/performing at her club, Nicky's. Life is good, they are hunting vampires, her performances are a hit! Then a finger snapping vampire walks into that club...... and things go Bat Shift Crazy....
I was so excited for where the book took us location why and those we met there. I haven't read all of Theo's previous books (I DO own them tho and will be working through them as soon as my schedule allows. The characters we met, the action we experienced, this is one girl that is SOOO excited for past series and upcoming ones. Dr. Cain, you know.. THAT Cain.... yup.... exciting stuff.
This series is great for a funny, but heartfelt read. YA and up, have a laugh, go 'aww' a few times, and just enjoy the beauty of what comes from Theo's mind. Book 3 can't come soon enough for this lover of Nyx/Nicky and all its characters!

Nicky is an absolute force of nature the book litterally begins with vampire slaying with her stilettos. I mean how cool is that?!!
We first meet Nyx in Bloody Mad locked in an asylum learning to accept that she could no longer change shapes like her people who are water Elementals. She was trapped in the last form she took and was struggling to fit in as as a trans gender woman.
In this series she now goes by Nicky and she has a warlock boyfriend. She recently develops the ability to shift into a bat and these new shifting abilities coincide with the arrival of a group of vampires with that exact ability. How does this fit into Nicky developing this ability? Read this amazing book to find out. This book is action-packed from beginning to end with tons of plot twists with murder and mayhem for all. This was definitely completely Bat Shift Crazy and it was an awesome read. Fantastic world-building and character development. I can't wait for the next installment. Such a fun series!!!

Let me start by saying that Theophilus Monroe has got to be my favorite author – I think I have been through all of his series to date. And Niky has got to be my favorite character. I met her first in the asylum for paranormal creatures, and fell in love. Yes, this book is very magical, bringing the reader to be transported to a whole new world of magic. There was a real balance of darkness and realm of fantasy with lightness and humor. Monroe brought the characters to life, as he penned the amazing story for these grand characters. Our protagonist Nyx is a badass, trans woman. And every vampire's worst nightmare, except for Mercy, of course.I was entranced by this story, and it has a great sense of magic and fantasy while also being in the modern world. Couldn't put it down. I received this novel in advance. I choose to write a review for this novel and the opinions here are my own.

And Theo does it again!!!
You know, as surprising as it may come to you, in my review a book one I entirely neglected to discuss the fact that the main character is transgendered. In fact, I was so impressed with the story and how he built the characters, that I completely overlooked the fact that the main character is transgendered.
It was only in reading his author’s notes that I realized how difficult it has been for him to write this character, and more importantly how difficult it was for him to make this character authentic.
Well let me put it this way, Mr. Monroe. If I can read an entire book which repeatedly and pointedly addresses issues of transgender sexuality, and still forget about it, still see only a CHARACTER rather than a TRANSGENDER character, then I think you have attained your goals.
Well done, sir. Well done.

Nicky is, simply put, a vampire slaying force of nature. Previously a kind of water elemental, Nicky starts this book in human form as a trans woman.
With a beau who is both warlock and the son of a preacher, and some new shifting abilities- toss in vampire slain preacher who was a very different order of slayer, a mom with issues both celestial and blood bound, and a whole host of deities and creatures from many different religions and faith schemes- there is a whole lot of action, plot twists and interpolation of faith and living - and killing- going on
so excited for the next adventures!

Theo has done it again!! I waited not so patiently for this second book in the Nyx series and I’m not disappointed in the slightest! I feel like Nicky is coming into her own now and she is finding out more about herself and her humanity.
I love how Theo brings so many concepts and ideas together ans has vampires, werewolves, an elemental, witches and warlocks as well as devout Christians, a Christian sect, LGBT themes and loads more, I really love the undertones and almost hidden messages to always be yourself and love you for being you etc, I feel there are some strong mantras and intimations in among the humour and semi-dark themes. Next please!

This was my first read in this series and my introduction to Nyx/Nicky. I didn't feel lost, though, and I think it worked okay as a stand-alone, although you'd probably enjoy it even more if you read book 1. The world and characters are intriguing, funny, and a little strange. There are lots of different paranormals, diverse sexualities, action, mystery, humor, and plenty of twists and surprises. Overall, the effect was compelling and entertaining, and I plan to read the next book as well as go back and read book 1.

How do I describe this book? 'To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar' meets 'One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest' meets 'Animal House' meets 'Supernatural' meets 'The Body Snatchers' meets the Book of Genesis comes close to the story and characters and attitudes set out in this novel - sort of. What can I say? This was the kind of urban fantasy that kept me reading, because I had to find out what was going to happen next or who was going to be introduced next and how. I don't have the words to describe this book adequately - you just have to read it for yourself.

Niki/Nyx has become more comfortable in her skin. Her and Devin have become a couple. A Vamp comes into her club and snaps her fingers and Niki turns into a bat. What? Now she has acquired a new ability. She doesn't know how to control it so she goes back to the asylum to get help. Meanwhile, Devin's mom is bitten and he saves her, turning her into a vamp. The problems just keep mounting. Can't wait for the next installment.

I enjoyed the second book in "The Legend Of Nyx" series even better than the first one. I liked the characters, and I appreciated their development. It seemed like there was even more action than in the first book. I was entertained by the inclusion of important characters from other series written by the author. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series. Kasey Logan's narration was fun and entertaining. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Love the world building for this series. It continued to be clear and interesting pulling me into the story. The character was even more lively and interesting in this book. Absolutely love this character. She brings drama and humor to the book. The storyline was interesting and had me from the start. I can’t wait to see where this character and story goes from here in the future. Love the series. I received this as an ARC and this is my honest review.

Nyx and Devin are still trying to clean up the vampire mess that Mina created when she released the Vampires from the catacombs. Nyx is also still trying to come terms with being both Nyx and Nicky. They find themselves on a journey to Vilokan to get some help and some answers and along the way they find Mina is still out to keep the Order active. It's a great read with lots of action and drama. I volunteered to read this book via Booksprout.

This author writes with passion and writes it will. If you can't accept LGBTQ community you might not want to read this book. I will say this book continues to bring out things that people should accept in our community. You will love how she starts to accept herself. So follow this story and see where it leads.

Oh my word, the shenanigans Nicky and Devin get into. And now Nicky can shift into a bat. How fun is that? When Nicky needs to go see Cain at the Vilokan Asylum, things are a jumbled mess especially when a few witches get in and create enough havoc that causes the deaths of a nurse and a patient. This story is fun to read, includes lots of action, and also contains a little romance. Highly recommended.

The recaps for the characters were really good for anyone who may have not read the first book in a while or someone who started from book two. Starting this book off with Nyx and her Devin her warlock boyfriend being attacked by five vampires. Lots more action and adventure in this book. Curious to see how the next in the series adds to the story.

In Bat Shift Crazy (The Legend of Nyx Book 2) Nicky/Nyx, returns to the asylum for non humans where she first got help when she became more human, to get control of involuntary changing into a bat. There is, however, a coven of bat-shifting vampires who have other plans. I enjoyed reading and definitely recommend this book I received through StoryOrigin. Readers will enjoy the characters and the action and characters. This book is available on Amazon

Having written a fairly poor (for me) review of book 1, but found enough about it that I liked to try book 2 I am so glad that I did.
I found the characters to be more comfortable with themselves, not so much felt forced which made for a much more enjoyable story.
Added bonus for me that the twists and turns of the plot aren't telegraphed as much as in some books, so I was able to enjoy the story without being able to guess the next bit.

Nyx is back and so is the insanity that is her life. A very funny story as Nyx must navigate life as a human with her boyfriend but also the craziness that comes her way. It was funny, entertaining, snarky, and had a fun cast of characters. Add in the weirdness of the vampires, werewolves, and shifting into a bat because why not. Just pure nonsense in a fun way that I laughed through.

Nyx/Nicky and Devon are still trying to clean up the vampires that were unleashed. Nicky is still doing her thing at the club until someone comes in. Unleash the bats as things get crazy. So much drama and many twists. What a crazy adventure!

Bat Shift Crazy by Theophilus Monroe is an awesome story to read. This is book number two in this awesome series that I have been so hooked on since the beginning and can not wait to read the rest. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about horror, LGBT and urban fantasy.

The story nicely follows on from book 1. There are good characters and storyline.
I’ve taken one star off for the romance element between Nicky and Devin. There’s nothing wrong with the writing, but it’s not what I want from a book. I do really like the premise and writing though, which is why I’m moving onto book 3 next.

The perfect distraction for a l0ng drive.
I'm really enjoying this series. The ongoing story of Nyx the siren settling into her role as a human transwoman and vampire hunter are great. I also love the budding relationship with Devin. I love so many aspects that I would give away the whole storyline if I were to mention them. Needless to say, I will be listening to the next in the series.

It would probably be best to allow two days for this PG15 contemporary urban fantasy paranormal romance featuring Nicky and Devin. It is part of a series but works well as a stand-alone.
