It's a Wild Light

Marjorie M. Liu's newest entry in the Maxine Kiss series is titled A Wild Light. Like outher books in the series, the heroine is a demon hunter who, by day, wears demons on her body as tattoos and by day, fights enemies alongside them after they have peeled off her body. The series is action-packed and exciting with lots of supernatural elements. The characters are well-defined and likable and like all good heros and heroines, Maxine has her own flaws. I do have to say that while this entry in the series does have the same characters as the other three, Liu was very ambitious in this book. She was very involved with strengthening the plot of the book rather than furthering the story. I believe Liu is setting up a "new level" in the series because at the end of this book Maxine completes her transformation into another type of being, a transformation that began with the first book. This is a great supernatural fantasy that is engaging and thought-provoking.
