Morrigan's Bond - Book Review

 

Morrigan's Bond (Crow's Curse #3)

by Laura Bickle

What is it about:

To end the war between vampires and witches, Garnet must battle the queen of the vampires, a woman who the Morrigan narrowly escaped in the skies of World War II.

Garnet Conners, incarnation of the legendary Morrigan, has pieced her life back together. After being turned into a vampire against her will, she’s quit her career as a surgeon and taken a job on the night shift at the city morgue. To her dismay, victims of vampires are piling up at the morgue…including the body of the vampire who turned her, Merrel.

Merrel’s faked his own death to set into motion a plot to wrest control of Riverpointe’s vampires from their queen, Varya. If Garnet helps him, he promises to move the vampires away from Riverpointe entirely, leaving Garnet and her lover, the warlock Sorin, in peace.

But Garnet’s haunted by dreams of her prior incarnations as Alix, one of the pilots of the fabled Night Witches in World War II. Alix fought Varya during the war… and was nearly destroyed by her. Varya held a magical artifact hostage, the magical sword Durendal, which she still uses to control the Asra hive of vampires.

When the vampires burn down the witches’ coven house, Garnet and her allies must locate the vampires’ stronghold. She, Merrel, and the surviving witches must rip Durendal away from Varya…or the city and all its supernatural inhabitants will be devoured in flames.

What did I think of it:

This is the epic conclusion of the Crow's Curse trilogy.

And it does go out with a bang!

Varya and her vampires are getting more and more aggressive and Garnet will have to decide what is important to her. As things get more dicey she will have to find peace with who and what she is, and with her past lives. 

I read this book in almost one sitting to see how this trilogy would end. Would Garnet succeed in letting her past lives and her bond with Merrel go for a new future, or is she doomed to live the same life over and over, unable to detach herself from the past.

I loved the people Garnet managed to gather around her for help. I rooted for all of them to get out alive. And with the things happening in this book that was definitely a concern, I can tell you!

All in all this is a great conclusion and I'll definitely will reread this trilogy in the future.

Why should you read it:

It's a really cool Urban Fantasy read.
