FAQ
How many books are in The Night series?
The Night series consists of two books, which are as follows, in chronological order:
1. When The Night Falls (formerly Skin of the Night)
2. Heart of The Night (formerly Into the Night)
Is Heart of The Night the second & final book of The Night series?
Yes. This means the series will be a duology/duet. There won’t be 3 books after all.
For those who read the original online version of Skin of the Night before its formal publication and division into separate books, be aware that the published series omits much of what you’ve previously read. The story concludes earlier in the published version than in the original online edition.
Is Skin of the Night the same book as When the Night Falls?
Essentially, yes. When The Night Falls is the updated version of the original Skin of the Night, featuring significant revisions from its predecessor. As a result, Skin of the Night is no longer available for purchase. The content has been reworked and released under the new title When The Night Falls.
When The Night Falls is thus the first book of the series The Night, having replaced Skin of the Night.
The Night series consists of two books, and are as follows, in chronological order:
1. When The Night Falls (formerly Skin of the Night)
2. Heart of The Night (formerly Into the Night)
Do I have to read When The Night Falls (formerly Skin of the Night) to understand Heart of The Night?
No. However, the latest edition of Skin of the Night, now retitled When The Night Falls, concludes on a markedly different note compared to its original version, and this shift may lead to a somewhat unexpected transition into Heart of The Night. If you skip When The Night Falls, you might miss out on a seamless narrative experience, though you’ll still be able to follow Heart of The Night without any major difficulties.
I read the 2nd Edition or the Alternative Cover Edition of Skin of the Night. Is it different from When The Night Falls?
No, actually – they are the same in terms of content. This is because I first published the 2nd Edition/Alternative Cover Edition before deciding to retitle the books in the series. The reason for the retitling was to make it easier for readers to distinguish between the previous versions and the current ones.
So, if you’ve read the 2nd Edition/Alternative Cover Edition of Skin of the Night, you can proceed to Heart of the Night without any concern whatsoever.
Why did you retitle the books in The Night series?
The original versions of the books have been significantly revised, and are now published with these changes. The reason for the retitling was to make it easier for readers to distinguish between the previous versions and the current ones.
Why did you rework Skin of the Night and Into the Night?
Long story short, I realised the series was being read very differently from how I intended, so I adjusted it in hopes that my vision might come across more clearly.
What changes have you made to Skin of the Night?
Skin of the Night has been unpublished, reworked and retitled to When The Night Falls. This means that Skin of the Night is no longer available for sale, though the content of Skin of the Night has been changed and put into a new version, and this new version is titled When The Night Falls.
When The Night Falls is thus the first book of the series The Night, having replaced Skin of the Night.
The story is fundamentally the same, but many scenes have been added, others removed. Most scenes have been tweaked, some quite drastically. The prose has also been polished. When I say the story is “fundamentally the same”, I mean that it follows the same plot line in which Cara gets “entangled” with her boss, William.
When can we expect book #2 of The Night series?
