Urban Fantasy published by Carina Press 30 Dec 19
This series has been a wild and wonderful ride from the beginning. Rowan Summerwaite, host to a Goddess, daughter to the father of the vampire nation, and wife to the vampire scion of North America, is a sword-wielding fighter who delivers justice with a conscience. With the conclusion of the pulse-pounding action in this book, it appears as though this is the end of the series. I hope to see another series launched featuring these characters and the untold stories that are still lurking, waiting to be told.
The Vampire Nation is riddled with intrigues and plots with counterplots, as one of the longest living races in the universe seek to alleviate boredom, jostle for power, and strive to make the world a blood fest. Standing tall against them are Rowan, her wonderful intriguing husband Clive, and her friends and family who are determined to get to the root of the problem. Each book in the series features a hunt and a conclusion, but, as it turns out, the problem does not really get eliminated, and like a multi-headed hydra another arm is ready to fight dirty and hit back on the good guys where it hurts. The stories are nonstop action and suspense as readers race along with Rowan, trying to interpret the cryptic messages from a quirky cab driver, her dreams, and visions.
Throughout the series Rowan grows in strength and confidence in the same way as her relationship with Clive grows. She’s as willing to be his shield and buckler as he is to be hers. Their relationship is one of the cornerstones of this series and a great example of how two diverse individuals can work out a way to live together and love seamlessly.
As Rowan narrows down on the cause, it will take the combined strengths and talents of all her friends and family, even as the threat comes so very close to home and they race between America, England, Europe, and back to America. Even as they face down the ultimate challenge and accept help from unexpected quarters, it is clear that this time and this evil has been eradicated.
I know I am not ready to say goodbye to this cast of characters and there definitely appear to me many stories yet to be told, so I hope the author will keep going.
Grade: B
Summary:
It’s been only days since Rowan and her friends eliminated the immediate threat to magic users and Vampires, but they’re already back on the hunt. Rowan’s out for vengeance, and she’s never been more driven—or angry. But she’s up against a being stronger than any she’s ever fought. To bring it down she’ll need more than the powers the goddess Brigid gave her…
This time she’ll need her friends, too.
She knows her husband will always have her back. As an ancient Vampire and Scion of North America, Clive has more clout and dominance than almost anyone. Rowan’s small but trusted inner circle insist they’ll join her in the thick of the battle, even as she argues it’s too dangerous for them. She’s also got a new dog. Familiar. Whatever. Star is a magical being put in Rowan’s path to help and protect her.
The hunt for ancient evil takes Rowan and her team to London and back to Las Vegas, bringing with them an unexpected alliance. Fortified by their rage, grief and determination, Rowan and her friends will stop at nothing when they track their enemy to the high desert in a final, deadly showdown.
