Phoebe, the soulless child, was raised by her adopted father, Eric—the universe-hopping vampire wizard from the future. Who better to raise a soulless infant than an undead monster?
Now she's out on her own! Well, almost. She has her boyfriend, Rusty, the werewolf, trying to manage his anger issues, and her uncle, a divine entity with ego issues. So far, she's getting by, but there are issues of her own to deal with—not the least of which is a horde of feral vampires taking over the world!
That's okay. There are more worlds where that one came from. But it's harder to cope without her teddy bear.
What's a girl to do?
Into the Light is the second book of Phoebe's Tale, set between book seven, Fugue, and book eight, Penumbra, of the Nightlord series.
Garon Whited was supposedly born in 1970, but the original birth certificate is suspiciously unavailable and other records do not agree. After spending some years in college playing role-playing games, he finally settled down into a steady job working with computers—and still plays role-playing games. He finally joined a radicalized group of jellyfish-herding nomads. Having fought zombie dolphins, quasi-corporeal wine and spirits, as well as brain-sucking mole rats, he is uniquely qualified to write fantastic fiction. His subsequent attempts at professional salsa repairman and ley line salesman met with similar success. An affinity for science fiction and fantasy has condemned him to write whenever he has a chance, despite therapy involving shocks and rubber hoses. He claims he lives on this planet, but impartial observers have expressed some doubt. He currently lives in Texarkana.
I had fun reading this. I enjoy Phoebe as a character and as an MC and it’s always funny to see the same quirks and mannerisms of her father. I think it ended open enough for another book but closed enough that another isn’t necessary. All in all fun read and just what you’d expect from a time/universe traveling witch.
.. So reading a book when we know the MC of the story is dead and failed in her goals.. This is a new 'low' to set out from. It better have an amazing hook that sets in from the start!
