A Wild Light (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

Maxine wakes up one morning with a dead body next to her, and absolutely no memory of Grant whatsoever. I know this premise sounds like some kind of literary trick, but I have to admit, it turned out pretty fantastic. Where "Darkness Calls" was confusing, "A Wild Light" is illuminating, and I'm of the opinion that it's the best book in the series so far. Maxine losing her memory forces people to tell her things as quickly and clearly as possible, so we don't have to wait an entire book to put together the pieces of what she finds out. Zombies, demon battles, time-and-space-jumping, and a whole lot of new info about demons, Grant, and the Hunter line, and I'm very happy with this story. Marjorie M. Liu writes about complicated adults who are constantly challenged with situations where ethics and morals slide on a scale of doing the least to greatest harm. Maxine and Grant's relationship gets more intense with each book. Liu's intricate plot lines weave family tradition, honor, expediency, and personal heart's desires into a lovely tangle that keeps the Hunter Kiss series at the top of my must-read list. She writes about the hardships of life within the frame of a sci-fi world.
