The Search For the Wild Power Pt. 1

And so, the quest begins . . . If you read book 2 of L.J. Smith's Night World series, which i'm sure you did, you would know that four wild powers are rising up and will help prevent the end of the modern world. Any one dies or refuses to help, and darkness triumphs. But, the witch circle, Circle Daybreak, is trying to get the wild powers on their side to help save the humans from extinction and the strong vampires race is trying to kill them.

In the opening chapter, we see the main character in the first novel of Book 3, Huntress, Jez Redfern hunting humans with her San Fransisco gang of vampires. But Jez realizes a secret that is so dark, it could kill her and her entire family. Jez Redfern is half-human. A half-breed has never been created before, and in the eyes of her former vampire family, she is a freak; vermin who needs to be killed. This sudden realization makes her go into hiding.

One year later, Jez is living with her mother's human family, undetected. She breaks all the rules and is on the verge of being kicked out when Hugh Davis, a human and wakened old soul, comes to her from Circle Daybreak. They want her to go back to her gang, which she left behind, and find out what they know about the wild powers. Jez agrees to do it, despite Hugh's plees otherwise, and the next day she ditches her cousin Claire at school and goes to her old gang's new leader.

The new leader, Morgead Blackthorn, is ruthless, rude and hates humans. Or so Jez thinks when she comes back. But they find a connection that brings them closer, especially when their lives are put in danger. Morgead has also filmed the blue fire of the wild power in San Fransisco, but they don't know who it is. Jez thinks she finds out when she, Hugh and Claire get into major trouble at the train station.

There are similarities between the foretold wild power and Jez's friends. Hugh and Claire are both seventeen, like the wild power. They were at or saw all the scenes where the power's blue fire was displayed, and they are both human, which one wild power is supposed to be. Things get pretty hectic when the vampires get involved and Jez tells Morgead she's human and when they all get kidnapped. It's a crazy and wild ride and I loved every second.

RED' S ALL STAR REVIEW: 4 out of 5 stars right off thre bat in this book! I have a feeling this is going to be one very good book. Possibly the best in the series so far? I hope so.

MASS APPEAL: This book is for supernatural fans who enjoy intense action scenes frequently and a good suspense about who the wild power really is. You will be surprised.
