As the last full book in the Night World series, I expected Book 3 to
be good; even the nest so far. My expectations have been blown, and I am
completely intoxicated by the mystery surrounding the searches for the wild
powers. The last novel in Book 3, Witchlight,
is not the best book, but a really good one. It follows a team of night people
from Circle Daybreak as the search for the Witch Child, a legendary witch who
will unite the witches and shape shifters for the coming of the end of the
world.
The leader of this team is Raksha
Keller, only known by her last name, a shape shifting panther. She is cool and
always calm, and she works extremely hard to shield her emotions. Nissa is a
vampire, only eighteen, but very strong. She is the getaway driver, and she is an
almanac of information. Winnie is a witch whose main defense orange witch
energy, but she doesn't pack quite as much of a blow as the others. The team
has been assigned but circle daybreak, and the rest of the witches after they seceded
from the Night World, to find the Witch child.
Her name is Iliana, and they find her
in the mall, shopping with her friends. Iliana is unaware of her witch heritage,
and is intrigued when a guy comes up and talks to her in the mall. This guy,
turns out to be a shape shifter working for the vampires to destroy the world.
He is a dragon. Dragons have been sleeping in the earth for thousands of years
after the witches took control of the world. There is only one family left in
the world that descends from a dragon, and they are the 'king' and 'queen' of
the shape shifters. Keller realizes that this just complicated things a little.
After a fight to save Iliana in the
mall, Keller and her team plus a strange boy who tried to help her, get Iliana
to a safe place. The boy stopped Keller from killing the dragon, because it
would've killed her, too. At first, Keller is furious, but she calms down once
Iliana is taken to safety. They are met by Grandma Harman, the Crone of all the
witches. She greets Iliana as her own great grandniece, and tells her of her
connection to the end of the world. She is supposed to marry the son of the
first house of shape shifters, the prince if you will, and unite them against
the vampires. This is something Iliana
is not up for.
The twist of this little meeting is
when they find out who Galen really is. But, soon after they decide what to do,
they are attacked by the dragon and his evil posse. As Keller fights to save Iliana,
Grandma Harman and Galen, she is crushed under the falling building. It’s not
the end for her; there isn’t protection for the three important night people,
though, after the house falls. Keller will have to fight the dragon and all of its
forms in order to fend him off and keep Iliana safe for her duty to be fulfilled.
RED’S ALL STAR REVIEW: for the last book out in the series, I
give a slid 3 ½ out of 5. The drama is incredible and I love the fight scene.
There isn’t as much suspense, which may have contributed to why it wasn’t my
favorite, but it was very good.
MASS APPEAL: Readers for slight mystery, action and drama
who don’t mind a background filled with supernatural creatures and the ‘end of
the world’ drama will enjoy this book, and this series. Go back and read the
whole series if you haven’t already.
