Maia Frasier thought that she was done with troubleshooters
and demons when she gave up her powers years ago. Then a
wounded troubleshooter shows up at her house claiming that
her sister is in danger. Creed Blackwood needs Maia's
assistance with finding a demon but, he's hiding that he's
been experiencing blackouts and his powers have become
erratic. Maia soon begins to believe that Creed may be more
dangerous to her and her sister than any demon could be.
I wasn't sure what to think about IN TWILIGHT'S SHADOW when
I started reading it but the more I read the better it got!
It was one of the best books that I have read in a long
time. Ms. O'Shea's voice is highly entertaining and I found
myself eagerly anticipating what was going to happen next.
One thing that didn't work for me was that sometimes Maia
seemed too focused on her looks. But, we discover that
people never saw her beyond the surface so it was all she
knew. I loved how O'Shea showed the vulnerable sides of both
Maia and Creed. It made them more relatable to me, the
reader. Also, their banter was sweet, touching and sometimes
really funny.
Another thing that I really liked about this book was that
the villain was smart and scary. I was constantly thinking,
'what will he do next?' I loved the unique relationship
between Maia and her sister. You could totally see the love
between them. This was the first book I've read by this
author and I'm eager to read more.
In the latest Light Warriors novel from O'Shea (In the
Midnight Hour), Creed Blackwood remains a demon
hunter, and he is plagued by the temptations of the dark
side. Seth, a demon far more powerful than any Creed has
encountered, unsuccessfully tempted Maia Frasier: she
stole some of Seth's power before forsaking her own power
and giving up demon hunting. Enraged, Seth vows to destroy
Maia the best way he knows how-by attacking her powerful
sister, Ryne, and stealing her power. Creed shows up on
Maia's door, injured and in need of assistance. Maia,
despite having no magic, determines to help him and to do
anything to save her sister from harm. The plot tends
toward involution, but Maia is a strong, realistically
vulnerable heroine, and gruff Creed melts almost
immediately.
