Luce is other, a mighty warrior sent to prepare the way for her sisters to conquer Earth. A freak development caused Luce to come through as a young girl with no memory. Raised by the police officer who found her, she grew up to follow in his footsteps. Accepting her new reality has been difficult, but she is determined to stop her siblings and save the world.  She will need her coterie, a team of others who can shift to aid her.

The world and characters Edwards has written continue to fascinate me. Without providing spoilers we see character and relationship growth in Luce’s team. Some of her “other” powers emerge and she has memories or flashbacks from a time before. Adam Wu the man who recruited her and her team has been a mystery throughout the series. Edwards rewards fans with answers and even more questions in Death Knell.

There is a romance between Luce and Cole, a dragon-shifter. Their relationship is both complex and touching. The author does a phenomenal job of allow us to understand and feel where they are coming from. I worry a little about Wu’s place and how it might affect Cole and Luce. Only time will tell as we learn more about who he is and what Luce is to him. It is killing me!

A virus is causing outbreaks among the humans, and the team continues to battle War. Now it appears Death is near. The story had a good pace with reveals, tidbits and action scenes that helped solidify the team.

The last section of the story had me gripping my Kindle and the ending... O.M. G. Edwards left me screaming for more. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
