LAST LIGHT continues Hannah and Matt's story in the Night Owl trilogy. After Matt Sky goes missing, he is presumed dead. However, Hannah knows that Matt is in fact alive and tries to keep this a secret. Yet the challenge is not as simple as that. Seth and Nate Sky, Matt's brothers step in where Matt retreats. This is especially true for Seth who has developed an interest in Hannah and creates some friction in the story.
This second instalment to the series is far more dark and titillating than the first if you can believe it. Pierce doesn't hold back on the angst and Matt's self hatred becomes its own character in this book. LAST LIGHT explores Matt's sadness and psyche in a deep, emotional way that can be overbearing and heavy in some places, but beautiful in others.
Creating tension is what M. Pierce excels at. Whether it is the sexual kind or just the plain strained kind, this author knows how to manipulate reader's emotions until you don't think you can handle any more. As much as I wanted to fall for this romance, the writing was too heavily steeped in angst for my liking. Plus the cliff hanger ending leaves a lot to be explored for this couple.
LAST LIGHT explores the dark workings of a tortured mind, leaving readers to question if love is enough to prevail for Matt and Hannah.
Tensions rise, secrets grow bigger, and passions run "deeper” and "hotter” in Last Light, the second novel of the Night Owl Trilogy from bestselling author M. Pierce. Matt Sky is missing. After a solo ascent of Longs Peak that left only a large blood stain, tatters of climbing clothing, and the tracks of an animal in the snow, he is presumed dead. Hannah Catalano is guarding a secret: she knows Matt is alive. After Matt's memorial service, she lingers on the East Coast with his family, but it soon becomes clear that his brothers' motives are less than gracious. Nate Sky is bent on tracking down the author of Night Owl, a book that charts the last days of Matt's life with uncanny and scandalous accuracy, and which appeared only after his death. Seth Sky is bent on getting Hannah into his bed. Hidden away in the woods, Matt and Hannah strive desperately to maintain their ruse and their relationship, but their web of lies only tightens as Matt struggles with the consequences of his decision, and Hannah tries to escape Nate's libel suit and fend off Seth's advances...until Hannah is put in danger, and Matt must make a life or death choice.
