Romance Paranormal | Paranormal

Dreams of a coming apocalypse and an epic battle between the Sybils and an unstoppable evil have Merilee Alexander, third member of her triad, on edge. Her world is further rocked by Jake Lowell, a created demon, an Astaroth and brother to Creed and Nick. Even though Jake's brothers, also demons, fight on the side of the Sybils, Merilee is unwilling to trust Jake. The newest member of NYPD's Occult Crimes Unit, Jake has long wanted Merilee, and the evil building in Manhattan gives him the opportunity to get closer to her. The supernatural world is spinning out of control, and it's going to take the combined powers of the Sybils, OCU and those standing with them to go up against an ancient evil so charismatic his power may be beyond the power of those standing with the Sybils. The stage is set for a battle of epic proportions, a battle as old as time, between good and evil. BOUND BY LIGHT is Anna Windsor's third installment of the Dark Crescent Sisterhood series and it's a chilling adventure. This novel is well-written, fast-paced and packed with hope. This is a thrill ride of good and evil, lust and love, love and hate, and power. Merilee is the third of the triad, the broom, with the power of the air behind her, and is in my opinion the most intriguing Sybil. Jake is amazing, an enigma, and entranced by Merilee. Sparks fly when these two get together! I missed the second book (but I'm reading it now) and was lost a few times because of events that had taken place in Cynda's story. I definitely recommend reading the trilogy in order. You don't want to miss it!

SUMMARY

The night holds endless pleasures . . . and hides nameless terrors.

​ ​​​​As the broom end of her Sybil triad, Merilee Alexander has the sacred duty as a warrior witch of taking out the trash. Lately, though, she’s been a little overwhelmed: Manhattan is a mess. And her prophetic end-of-the-world nightmares aren’t helped by the waking fantasies of love. Or the fact that the object of her affections, gorgeous Jake Lowell of NYPD’s Occult Crimes Unit, is playing it so cool.

Actually, Jake wants Merilee desperately, every luscious inch of her. Still, he’s holding back. He’s got secrets. Dark, dangerous, demonic secrets. But as Jake and Merilee trawl the city’s supernatural underbelly to out a demonic kingpin who, disguised as a charismatic leader, is amassing dark power, it’s make-or-break time. For their lives, their love, and the world are about to be sucked into the undertow of the tides of an unstoppable evil.
