Fantasy. Fiction. Romance. HTML: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.

Synopsis
The Sibyls are facing their most dangerous foe yet in the form of a demonic power bent on garnering political power. It will take everything that air Sibyl, Merilee Alexander and her OCU partner, Jake Lowell have to defeat this evil enemy but in order to do so they must first come to terns with the secrets and the desires between them.

Review
A sweet romance and an action packed plot with a climax of epic proportions.

Despite the common threads linking the books in this series, each has its own storyline and their is no repetition or rehashing of previous plot points. We do get updates on the goings on in Riana, Cynda and Andy's lives, which is very entertaining.

Jake and Merilee are wonderful together and their abilities are complimentary, which adds another layer to their romance. Merilee is courageous, loyal and certainly knows how to kick-butt. Nevertheless, it is Jake's story that is truly gripping.

Jake is the most enigmatic and mysterious of the Lowell demon brothers and his internal struggle with his dual humanAstorath identity is the main focus of his character development. If he wishes to protect Merilee and survive the upcoming battle with the diabolical villain, then he must learn to embrace all aspects of his personality.

The villain is the most threatening in the series thus far and his agenda made my skin crawl. The manner in which he ultimately receives his just rewards is very satisfying.

The next trilogy focuses on a new Sibyl trio and I look forward to reading their books. ( )

This is my favorite of the Dark Crescent Sisterhood series thus far. Jake is a much more developed character than his brothers, and he's far more interesting and sexy, too. You also get more bang for your buck with this one, since the plot has more going on than the first books. The situation is rather dire for the Sibyls, which makes this one hard to put down. There's love, there's pain, there's violence and magic. What's not to love? ( )

Whew! What a cataclysmic ending to the 'Dark Crescent Sisterhood' series by Anna Windsor. "Bound by Light" is the story of the last of the triad and the most mysterious of the demon brothers.

As the broom of her triad, Merilee is used to being the clean-up crew and she's certainly seen some horrible things. But none of that explains why lately she's have nightmarish dreams and visions of death and destruction. She'd much rather be dreaming about the hunky demon brother standing in front of her in just a towel!!

Jake wants Merilee every bit as much as he's sure he can't have her. He's determined to live as a human but can never forget that he's a demon. He refuses to endanger Merilee especially when it's hard to control himself once he's near her.

But these two have WAY more to worry about. There's something B-A-D headed their way...and it's got its eye on Merilee.

Huge, colossal, big finish. Saving the world was never so fun...or so darn hot. What those demon brothers can do when they change only certain parts of their bodies...excuse me while I have a smoke! ( )
