All the melodrama of a bad romance and with half the sex. With a little more polishing this book could have been much better.
This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways.
I would describe The Light Who Shines, author Lilo Abernathy's debut novel, as crime-meets-paranormal with a fair amount of mystery, thrills, some romance and a pretty steamy sex scene or two!
It is the year 2022, in the time of the Red Ages. Bluebell Kildare is an Inspector attached to the Homicide Unit of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. The Unit picks up cases in which the perpetrator is a Vampire or someone magically Gifted. Blue is signed a new case in which the victim met his end in a particularly gory manner, unusual in that it is seemingly unrelated to his Gift.
Lilo Abernathy's words tell the story with an easy flow, pulling you in slowly from the start, until you realised hours have passed but you just have to read one more chapter! The characters are engaging and endearing, or menacing and unrepenting. Blue is a worthy heroine but shows her vulnerability at the same time.
My only criticism of this novel is that there are a few spelling/grammatical errors, but, given that this is a self-published novel, this number pales into insignificance when compared to other similar books. Roll on book 2, The Light Who Binds!
Sincere thanks to Lilo Abernathy, for providing me with a review copy; and to Varg, who we would love to welcome here at the house of hounds!… (mais)

I really enjoyed reading this book. It had everything you could possibly want in an urban fantasy novel. My only little gripe was the overuse of the exclamation point. Other than that, I have no complaints and am anxiously looking forward to reading the next in the series.

This work surprised me with the quality of the story, but more than that, with the artful way in which the author maintained suspense and generated real concern for the characters. Bluebell has the patience of a saint with Jack's shenanigans, though.
Tiny complaints: The bad guy was a bit too obvious. And I don't know about putting an explanation of the book at the beginning of the book (Kindle version), as a landing page - I don't really want to hear about all the book before I read it, and there was a bit to flip through to get to the beginning. Maybe a table of contents would work better to land on, so readers could choose to read or skip that part.… (mais)
