Once at the rave, things begin to go terribly wrong when one of Casey’s friends turns up dead.

The environment of the dark, damp subway tunnels was appropriately sinister and chilling.

The setting plays a major creepy role in this book, so much so that it almost acts as an additional character. The rave is underground in the sense that not many people know about it, but also in the sense that it is literally underground, as it takes place in the abandoned subway tunnels beneath the city-which to be honest, is probably my favorite part of the book. It’s about a young woman named Casey who has just left a rehab center where she was getting treatment for a pain killer addiction, and right after getting out, she decides to go to an underground rave with a group of her friends (under the guise that she is attending a slumber party at a former soccer teammate’s house-for parental reasons, of course). Survive the Night is unrelated to The Merciless trilogy but is a hauntingly wonderful read that I recommend every chance I get. She has another under the pseudonym Danielle Rollins).Īnd the best part is, if these reviews intrigue you, there is still time to read the first two books in the series before Origins of Evil comes out on July 12 th!Īll the mini-reviews (okay, mini for me, someone who is usually pretty long-winded) WILL be SPOILER-FREE, so even if you haven’t read these books yet, feel free to read on! So, in honor of the upcoming release of The Merciless III, I’m going to do mini-reviews of all three of Danielle Vega’s other books (well, at least all three of them written under the name Danielle Vega. I have been dying to learn about the origins of the evil coursing through the Merciless books, so I am more than ready for this release. Danielle Vega’s novels are books that I devour within twenty-four hours of getting my hands on them, because I just have to know what happens next. It is less than TWO WEEKS until the release date of The Merciless III: Origins of Evil by Danielle Vega, and I could NOT be more excited.
