Review - Night Huntress by Yasmine Galenorn

Night Huntress
Otherworld/Sisters of the Moon, Book 5
Yasmine Galenorn
Berkley
January 6, 2009
ISBN# 978-0-425-22546-2

Book Blurb:
We're the D'Artigo sisters: sexy, savvy operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. But being half-human, half-Fae means our supernatural talents always go haywire at the wrong time. My sister Camille is a wicked good witch who attracts men like honey attracts flies. Menolly's a vampire who's still getting the hang of being undead. And me? I'm Delilah, a werecat who's been marked by the Autumn Lord as one of his Death Maidens. And wouldn't you know it, Karvanak--the demon general who stole the third Spirit Seal--is back. And this time, he's out for blood...

The Hags of Fate enjoy seeing me squirm. First, my boyfriend, Chase, mutters another woman's name in his sleep. Then I discover the Autumn Lord has a very special plan for me. But things go from bad to deadly when Karvanak--the Rāksasa--returns. In order to get his greedy hands on both the fourth Spirit Seal and his former associate, Vanzir, he kidnaps Chase. Now, we have to find a way to rescue the man I love without risking the safety of both Otherworld and Earth...

My thoughts:
Delilah D’Artigo has a lot on her mind, and more so after her lover Chase says another woman’s name at the worst possible time. As a werecat, and the only living subject tied to the Autumn Lord, she’s gained some new gifts she has yet to master.

Chase is kidnapped by Karvanak to ransom for a Spirit Seal and Vanzir, a demon who is now allied with the sisters. Delilah will learn to rely on her instincts and stand with her sisters and friends in their latest battle, and hope that their combined strengths will bring them all home alive.

This is the fifth book in the Otherworld/Sisters of the Moon series and centers on Delilah D’Artigo. Ms. Galenorn takes the meekest of her trio to a new level as the werecat discovers her strength and lets nothing stop her from reaching her goal. Love and betrayal play large roles in Night Huntress, and as the story unfolds the action will sweep fans along for this fast-moving ride. While each sexy story in the Otherworld/Sisters of the Moon series is focused on one of the sisters, it’s best read from the beginning.
