My Thoughts
Muriah owns a bookstore and was hired to find an ancient codex for a customer who ends up murdered. She is then attacked soon afterwards. Her guardian/protector then requests the help of Issa, a Night Walker, as she is in danger now. Muriah and Issa must work together to save the life of an unborn child who will in turn save the world. In order to do that Muriah must use her powers to locate the items to trap their enemy, Apep, and Issa must protect her since using her powers weakens her. They aren't just battling Apep though. They are fighting their feelings for each other as well. Issa lost someone he cared about and doesn't want to get hurt again. Muriah can't imagine giving up her life to be a Night Walker and give up her dream of having children one day. As they find a way to defeat evil, they find a way to break down the barriers that are keeping them apart.
I really loved their time together in Issa's tomb. I know that sounds super creepy, but I assure you it was super steamy. My heart broke when Issa tells Muriah that no one has ever cared for him and she tells him that he deserves to be cared for. I wanted to shake her for using her powers while he was sleeping and couldn't watch out for her though. I loved the adventure they had taking them all over from New York to Cairo as they fell in love.
I give Night Child 4 hearts!
About the Book
A psychic gift…
Muriah La Deaux’s latest job requires her to locate an
ancient codex detailing a prophecy of an immortal birth. But before she can
deliver it, her client is brutally murdered. Now a man with chaos in his eyes
wants the codex she’s hiding.
An immortal child…
Issa is one of the original Night Walkers, a proud protector
of the mortal world. Now, when the survival of his entire race rests on
protecting an unborn child, Issa is the only immortal strong enough to protect
Muriah on a risky mission—locate the lost scrolls that will trap their foe—but
his tenuous grasp on his sanity is slipping.
The ultimate sacrifice…
Muriah’s headstrong spirit awakens feelings in Issa that are
best left buried. But as the battle between love and chaos ensues, sacrifices
must be made.
