Still of the Night

Still of the Night (Skye Druids, #5)Still of the Night by Donna Grant
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

These books are really building to some gigantic showdown with lots of pieces moving into place along the way. While we don’t get the ultimate battle in this book, we do make strides to uncovering who the key players are. Oh, and Killian & Ariah’s story, too!

Ariah is the local tea maker we have interacted with in various capacities in previous books. She is a member of the core group, but not directly involved in any battles. That doesn’t negate her power, however, which is largely drawn from nature and the forest. She had a brief love affair with Killian, a non-magical man who visited the island years ago, and whom she never thought to see again. He ends up accepting that he can’t live his life without her and shows up on her doorstep just in time for the big bad to turn everything upside down.

I really liked how we got to see Callum through this new person’s eyes. That story really needs to be fully told in future books and I can’t wait for it. Ariah and Killian, though, were fantastic! We ended up skipping over a bit of the romance, but it was still very satisfying. The big strides we end up making in identifying who is working with the big bad(s) were also super satisfying. This was another great installment in the series.
