Shamans of the Divide #3
Vertigo
Renn's missing inside the Divide and hell has broken loose.
July, Asha and Skye, along with a new generation of Council members, have uncovered that a rash of recent violent activity is linked to an opening in the Divide--a deliberate opening.
Someone inside the group is seeking power and immortality far beyond what the Council can handle and they must act quickly to bind the evil, and the Betrayer, back into the spirit realm.
As the Betrayer gets stronger, their chances of saving Renn and saving the day grow smaller. Can the power be contained? And will the costs be worth it in the end?

Vertigo (Shamans of the Divide: Book Three) -- Megan Applegate (30 chapters + epilogue) Jan. 30-31, 2017
Just a heads up here: Ok, now that's I've read these first three books in this series I, I really wish I had gone back to read the first one again, before I read these next two. (And I'll make an amended note of that on my Book One review.) Because, see: these three books are really all tied together. If you start with one, please proceed through three. The story makes a lot more sense and flows together better. The author is writing more in this series but the books following this one does not have July and Renn as the main characters; the plot is different too.
This third book picks up a few months after the last one...but that last book was a humdinger of a cliffhanger. (I didn't note that in my review of that book, because I decided that if a reader has come this far, stopping there was a doo-dah move.) The reader cannot stop at the end of book two. Reading book three brought everything together.
I was sad at what happened to Silas in that second book. Really, I was. Especially after the way he acted after coming back. But as that book proceeded, I saw where he had to be the one. There was other foreshadowing events in that story, so it made me aware that probably would be foreshadowing in this one as well. And I wasn't wrong on that at all! It is very wise to pay attention to the things other say in this story.
I was glad the way this book was written; although there were still typos and missing grammatical issues. (Quotes; periods; wrong word used, like here when author meant her, etc.) But again, this is pretty darn good writing for an independent writer, whose editors are mostly other readers. It did drag a bit at the beginning and near the end. I also think it got a bit too mushy, when the plot should have been focused on the enemy. And then it ended, which was sort of anti-climatic. (One of the character’s ending didn’t mention anything about a crush the character had, which was disappointing.)
I'm not reviewing this book well, I know I'm not. But I am going to say this: each of these books are definitely three stars. But all together: this is a four star trilogy. First book is still probably the strongest of the bunch. But overall, not bad. I will not be continuing this series however. Renn and July and their story was the greatest pull for me (and at times, I don’t think their story was all that clearly written.)
I will be going back and reading these three books again later this summer. It might help me put the arc in perspective.
Three stars.
