Night Runner #2
Falling from the Light
Phoenix, AZ
Sydney Kildare’s done working for vampires. Her years of couriering – and dodging hijackers and sucker mind games – are over. It’s time for her and Malcolm Kelly, her secret vampire lover, to ride off into the sunset.
At least, that was the plan.
But Master vampire Bronson has reared his domineering head again, and he isn’t above blackmailing his former runner to get what he wants. He needs her to infiltrate a human pharmaceutical company. Syd’s not a trained spy, but if she can’t uncover what Bronson wants, he’ll take his disappointment out on Malcolm.
There are rules in the vampire world, rules that are starting to feel an awful lot like shackles. Mal is the brightest light in Sydney’s life, but runners don’t do well in captivity. Syd is the first honest person he’s encountered in decades, but this mission may corrupt her completely. Their love is strong, but can it survive a hopeless situation?
Falling from the Light is the third book in the Night Runner world, but can be read on its own.

I remember that I really enjoyed the first story in this series, but cooled a bit toward the second. I think this third installment, though, is easily the best to date. It pays a lot of attention to the core romance; it’s got a fast-moving, action packed plot; and it’s got angst in spades.
As the story begins, Sydney is being forced to do a job for the super-powerful vampire Bronson. Essentially, he is basically using extortion, by threatening her lover Malcolm, who is currently serving him. She has to dig up info on a Las Vegas company linked to the powerful drug, Radiant, that made a bunch of vamps go crazy in the last book. Conveniently, Malcolm has a job of his own to do in the same neck of the woods, so they can travel to Sin City together.
Malcolm is tasked with bringing in Abel, a villain from the previous books. But he can’t hurt him, even though Sydney is likely to be a target for Abel again. Mal and Syd travel to a high-end vamp hotel with their entourage to get their jobs started. There, they have to maintain a cover of a master and feeder, putting unneeded stress on their relationship. This couldn’t be at a worse time as their assignments put them in serious physical and emotional peril.
Bad things happen. Especially to Sydney. It’s hard to read at times and is kind of in the same vein as one of Kelly Meding’s Dreg City or JC Daniels’ Kit Colbana books. Those elements are gut wrenching, but they really made me doubly emotionally invested in Syd and her future. There’s some good stuff here that shows us what Syndey is made of. But there’s not just individual character development going on, but relationship development as well. I’m glad that Reagan Summers devoted so much of the story to the Syd/ Mal relationship. One of my complaints about Running in the Dark, was that I didn’t get enough of it. I really believed in the love between these two and I liked that their problems felt real and relevant without ever spoiling my ability to root for them to be together.
The world building is good. So is the writing. Both main characters are well drawn and sympathetic. (I love the way Mal loves Syd.) But the secondary characters mattered to me as well… from Syd’s chatty BFF to her vampire minion Thurston. I was interested and invested in them all.
It wasn’t perfect. There was a plot about some blood gemstones that felt pulled out of thin air. It became super-relevant at the end, so I would have liked to believe in that a bit more. And the conclusion felt whirlwind fast. It was satisfying, but I had to reread the ending to really get what happened.
Overall, though, I enjoyed it, especially as it gained momentum. I think UF fans (especially those who have read the series) will really like it too.

In the interest of full disclosure, Regan Summers is a fellow author and friend. That said, even if I didn't know her, I still would have immensely enjoyed Falling from the Light.
The story picks up on the heels of Summers' previous book in the Night Runner series, Running in the Dark. Having barely survived the incidents in South America, Sydney, Malcolm, and their slapdash team of humans and vampires head to Arizona. There they hope to not only to root out the source of the drug killing off vampires, but also to make a final stand against the dark forces that have been hunting Syd and Mal since we first met them in Don't Bite the Messenger. With enemies at their doorstep, the pair face their greatest challenge in the hopes of freeing themselves from both their pasts.
Falling from the Light is far more than a run-of-the-mill vampire story. Yes, vampires are the central "species" of the plot, but Summers does a masterful job of detailing their world of politics and honor. There is a constant undercurrent of tension with every scene that truly ramps up the excitement. Watching a party through Syd's eyes, we experience the murderous plots hidden behind painted-on smiles. There is as much posturing and puffing as there is direct action, and the dance between the two gives the reader a wonderful roller coaster ride till the very end.
For those that are fans of romance, Falling from the Light offers just enough of the "sexy stuff" to heat up the pages. For readers who prefer booms to bedroom eyes, there is plenty of action and excitement outside of the boudoir to keep them engaged.
Falling from the Light is, for the moment, the final book in the Night Runner series and does an admirable job of wrapping everything up. While not everything is tied with a bow, Summers nails down the major plot points between the two main characters. Syd and Mal have learned to grow individually as well as a couple and it's been a joy to watch them figure out how to deal with a relationship that is truly deserving of the phrase, "it's complicated".
Of the two, Syd has certainly changed the most over the three books. By the time the final chapter ends, she has replaced most of the broken bits and sharp edges with a strength and confidence that is borne out of love rather than spite. She is also calculating with her moves instead of acting on instinct. This change is drawn out nicely over the series and comes to a wonderful head in the climactic scenes of this last book.
I also have a soft spot for Malcolm who has been caught between Scylla and Charybdis for most of the series. His service to his Master has often conflicted with his desire to be with Syd, but in Falling from the Light, we see Mal truly go above and beyond to protect the ones he loves. Malcolm breaks the mold of "traditional vampires", showing far more heart and compassion than many of his human counterparts. For me, this is an element that truly makes this character shine.
Falling from the Light also hosts a number of well-drawn, personable side characters. You can't help but enjoy scene-stealer Mickey who treats every experience with wide-eyed wonder and enthusiasm. Malcolm's dynamic vampire duo, Thurston and Soraya, also mix well, adding the flavor of their unique personalities that greatly spice up the plot.
Summers has a fluid, effortless voice in Syd that makes it deceptively easy to turn pages well into the early morning. She combines action and romance exceptionally well and works hard to build the tension for the storm we've all known was coming. When that storm finally arrives, it does so in brutal, epic scenes. The pacing is fast, keeping the reader strapped to the rocket-ride till the very last sentence of the final page.
Overall, Falling from the Light wraps up what has been a very enjoyable series. While I hope to see more of Syd and Mal in the future, if this is truly where we leave them, we at least leave on a satisfying, action-filled note.

Ha! Take that Bronson and Abel!
+++
The last book. The last time I get to watch Syd and Mal avoid certain doom. I'm not ready to let go. :clutches at Syd:
More seriously, Summers contacted me to review this last book as I have reviewed the previous two stories and she knows I'm down for anything Syd or Mal related. When we last left our twosome Syd was dealing with the unexpected complication that she had to share Mal's attentions for at least another two years (thank you Master Bronson you pompous jerk) and that meant watching Mal be the world's biggest asshole (no wait that title goes to Richard F*cking Abel) in public and in private he's the Mal she loves.
Look I understand her anxiety here. In the last book Soraya suddenly popped up with all kinds of awesomeness in skills and looks, plus Mal just sort of told her that he's going to be a jerk on the streets and adoring lover in the sheets. Most women would take a step back and question this since coming from the outside it sounds like he's hiding something from her. Which technically he is hiding something...just not from her.
That's okay though because Master Jerkbag Bronson more or less cottoned onto the fact that Syd was special and decided to use Syd's specialness to his own advantage...or he'd start kicking Mal's ass for the fun of seeing her panic. Its Syd going undercover that sort of had me doubting Master Jerkbag's ability to be strategic; he didn't give her much to go on, tossed her into this thing with a very limited timeframe and bid her to hide it all from the folks who could help her. Probably, if this had been the corporate espionage it was discussed as being, things would have been fine. Except it wasn't, so it couldn't be and things went south before Syd could do anything about it.
Enter Richard F*cking Abel. This guy. Just...this guy. Look when he popped around originally, as a low level scumsucker with aspirations to higher power, I didn't give him much thought. Who would? He appeared to have struck it lucky with as far as he had gotten, but quite frankly he didn't have the "oomph" most of the Master vampires seemed to exude. This book he proved at least one thing - Master Jerkbag wasn't the only one who could come up with exotic ways to punish a person.
What he does to Syd, makes Syd do, forces Syd to endure is beyond contemptible. There's a certain kind of twistedness needed to do what Richard F*cking Abel (yes that is his name for all eternity) did. An eye towards seeing what makes a person tick. Honestly he may have gotten away with it if Syd hadn't spent her entire life unconsciously building ticks into her personality that he could have never had her duplicate successfully without giving up the ghost. As it is he only succeeded as far as he did because Syd was already emotionally in the ringer and Mal was adrift with no clear understanding of what Syd was really doing in Arizona.
In the end just desserts are delivered to everyone involved. And Soraya survives. Which is important to me at least. This is the last book in the series (for now...I hope) so loose ends are basically tied up. The reality of Syd's self is kind of glossed over and abruptly introduced. There was talk of it scattered throughout the books but between Mal's assignment and Syd's assignment there was much less discussed on the matter then I would have liked before it all kind of wrapped up.

Sydney and Mal are back! This time around the flamboyant can-drive-anything ex-courier and her vamp lover are in Arizona, hunting down the makers of a vamp drug and, more importantly, trying to get out from under the thumb of Master vampire Bronson. The whole second half of the book had me one the edge of my seat. Great ending to this urban fantasy series. Some interesting world-building bits regarding Sydney's abilities.

WOW!!!
This was the best one of the series (so far?).
"Falling from the Light" had it all. I enjoyed every page and I couldn't stop reading.
I could live with this being the conclusion but I really hope for more.
Thank You, Ms Summers!!

Originally published at Reading Reality
The story in Falling from the Light is definitely a reminder that the vampires that have become the heroes of so much of urban fantasy and paranormal romance draw their origins from the horror side of the house.
In this book, very bad vampires do bad things to bad people, and also do bad things to good people. Even good vampires spend so much energy posturing for the nastier members of their group that they spray a LOT of collateral damage among their human and vampire companions.
Also this is a “things are always darkest just before they turn completely black” kind of story. Sydney gets so far down that “bottom looks like up”. In other words, this is the story of how Sydney falls from the light into nearly permanent darkness, and then has to claw her way back. after a trauma that guarantees she’ll never be quite the same.
She’ll be okay, because she’s incredibly tough, but she won’t be the same. The story ends with Sydney and her vampire lover Mal hoping that they can escape the crap that they’ve gotten into for good. Of course, somebody has to die to make that happen. I will leave the “who” for you to find out.
The Night Runner series takes place in a world where the vampires have not just come out of the coffin, but where they seem to have their fangs into a whole lot of the criminal organizations and quite a few private companies. (When you live forever, you have lots of time to compound interest on your investments)
Sydney, and Malcolm, (sometimes it’s the other way around) are pawns in a world-wide vampire power struggle. At first, In Don't Bite the Messenger it seems as though the more nasty vamps were using Sydney to get to the vamp she worked for. In Running in the Dark the more nasty vamps were using Sydney to get to Malcolm.
In Falling from the Light, both sets of vampires (let’s call them more nasty and less nasty) are using Sydney to get to Malcolm and Malcolm to get to Sydney. And since Sydney is the poor squishy human, she’s collateral damage no matter whose agenda is currently in play.
Including, unfortunately for their relationship, Malcolm’s agenda. He pretends to be worse than he is to protect her from the true villains, but nothing quite works like they planned.
The dark at the end of Sydney’s fall from the light is very dark indeed. It takes a supreme sacrifice, blind faith, and one hell of a lot of luck to reach the light at the end of this tunnel. But it’s worth it.
Escape Rating B-: It’s Sydney’s character that makes this series, which makes it very difficult (read that as gut-wrenching) when Sydney finds herself a captive of the nasty and insane vamps. What happens to her is very rough.
She’s also subjected to constant reminders that she and even Malcolm are just pawns in other vampire games, and that the vampires mostly consider her as talking food at worst or an intelligent pet at best. She has no rights, she’s physically outclassed, and her life is so worthless to most vampires that they have no comprehension of her thoughts or feelings. There are no laws that protect her except the law of the jungle, and vampires are excellent at maneuvering that to their own advantage.
Sydney only has one ace in the hole; she is immune to vampire glamour, but no one knows why. At least not until the boss vampire reveals it to her in this book, just in time for her to use those talents to save the day. Or at least the epilog.
But Sydney spends a lot of the first ⅔ of the story being beaten and beaten down, and while it was good to see her finally emerge into the light at the end, it was VERY tough to watch her suffer. The world of the Night Runners isn’t the same without Sydney’s snark, so it was great to see her recover it at the end.

As an independent reviewer for Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock, I read this third book of Regan Summers The Night Runner series before knowing anything about the author or the previous books in the series. I had no trouble at all following along, it is definitely a stand alone story. And WHAT a story!!
The author has woven a detailed alternate universe where vampires live among us, but are still very separated. I would compare it to the Anita Blake universe, but its not a copy. Not by a long shot. This 'verse has its own rules and its heroine is very much her own woman. She is also a one man woman. Only one vampire holds her respect and desire.
If you love vampire romance, this book is going to keep you on the edge of your seat. The twist at the end, no, the TWISTS at the end, will keep you gasping as you read. Well played. A full five fangs for sure.
