missingvolumeI am posting a bit out of order due to wanting to get this review up a bit earlier. I won a copy of the eARC the writer was giving away so it took a bit longer to read since I had only downloaded it to the desktop and didn't try to put it on my phone or iPad.
The fifth book in the series is a turning point in Joanna, at the end of the last book she has given up being the Archer for the Light in order to save a changeling that she had damaged. Now merely mortal the Light troop is ignoring her on the troop leader's orders. Joanna is attacked by someone who has escaped from Midhaven with an ax to grind and Solonge wants her dead as well since it seems she has a soul connection to Hunter due to the magic they shared. The wedding is gearing up and a new allies find her and help her find a new path for herself since she is no longer bound to either Las Vegas or the Light Troop.
The book ends with her finding out more about her mother and what Joanna can do for herself since she is now a rogue agent. The story really feels like it is cranking up as Joanna fulfills the next sign of the prophecy.
