After running, getting caught, escaping and going on the run again, all while meeting up with various different friends, Maya is about to do that for another book. This time though, she has the company of her long-lost twin, who isn't quite as brotherly as Maya had hoped for. Maya and her friends want to go back to having a normal life with their parents, but will have to determine who the real enemy is before they make any final decisions. Along the way they meet up with some fellow teens on the run, but do the two groups have the same goals or are they willing to turn each other in for a quiet life?
There are books about almost every type of supernatural and books combining different types of supernaturals in every conceivable and inconceivable combinations. Yet despite this, or maybe because of this, I liked how these supernaturals were ones that I'd never heard of. Now that I think about it, I probably liked that because it didn't contradict any known legends about the supernaturals, but invented its own legends.
The ending was perfect. Don't worry-I won't give any spoilers here, but I will say that I had no idea how all the issues would be solved to give out happy ever afters. I was nervous there would be some totally improbable ending but instead it was one that made sense and made me content. It was a way of solving the problems without really solving them.
4.6 stars.
Things are getting desperate for Maya and her friends. Hunted by the powerful St. Clouds and now a rival Cabal as well, they're quickly running out of places to hide. And with the whole world thinking they died in a helicopter crash, it's not like they can just go to the authorities for help.
All they have is the name and number of someone who might be able to give them a few answers. Answers to why they're so valuable, and why their supernatural powers are getting more and more out of control.
But Maya is unprepared for the truths that await her. And now, like it or not, she'll have to face down some demons from her past if she ever hopes to move on with her life. Because Maya can't keep running forever.
Old secrets are revealed and unexpected characters make a surprising return in this stunning conclusion to Kelley Armstrong's New York Times bestselling Darkness Rising trilogy.
