Vicious Moon - Book Review

 

Vicious Moon (Earth Witches #3)
by Lee Roland

What is it about:
“A powerful witch might live a long time, but a single well-placed bullet could change that. While my preferred weapon was magic, I was not averse to shooting anyone or anything offering my sister or me harm.”

Ex-soldier and earth witch Nyx Ianira is working as a PI in San Francisco when she sees the last thing she ever wants to see: the Sisters of Justice—the mysterious earth witch police force. A Triad of Sisters usually means an execution mission, but the Sisters’ only goal is to capture and escort Nyx across the country.

Nyx is badly needed back in Twitch Crossing, Georgia, the place she ran away from ten years ago to escape the stiff rules and duties of being a true witch. She wanted a life of her own. Now she’s being dragged back to her swampy hometown because another life is in danger: Her little sister is missing, and Nyx is the only one who can track her down in Duivel, Missouri.

But the key to finding her may lie with dark and tempting Etienne—a sinister criminal with a fearsome reputation, a ruthless attitude, and a total immunity to magic....

What did I think of it:
It's been a while since I read the first two books in this series, but my reviews tell me I thought the heroines were dawdling while they should be doing things.

In this book the heroine actually tries to get stuff done as soon as possible, as her sister's life is at stake. Her attempts are thwarted from all sides though, so this time it's actually believable why things take a long time. And the love interest in book one who was on the losing end of the triangle there is back in this one as the main love interest! So double win!

I had a great time with this book and might even do a reread of the others to see if maybe I was a bit too harsh on the dawdlers. This book does leave things open, but not in an annoying way. Which is good as I don't think there will be more books.

Why should you read it:
It's a cool and enjoyable Urban Fantasy read.
