Review of The LIghtning Luminary by RS McCoy





Reviewed by Char for Late night Books and Reviews

The Lightning Luminary is an entertaining paranormal fantasy book with a really cool twist on Greek mythology. It’s told from several points of view that allows the reader to have a much more broad sense of the story from lots of different characters and to see how each of them end up interwoven into a complex plot.  It was a mixture of action, suspense, romance and intrigue.

Talia Stanley, the main character, is a lonely immortal Luminary. She is one of the last of her race and has survived thousands of years by hiding herself from the world and away from those who hunt Luminaries.  She is forced to venture out of hiding and into the world, where she happens to meet Mason.

Mason Rathbone is a gorgeous mortal and an artist who has lost all of his family and feels alone in the world.  He carried around a lot of guilt from his past.  He is dedicated, loyal, brave and fun.  He also is determined to get to know Talia a lot better. He pursues her Talia and Mason have really good chemistry and I loved their scenes together.

The other characters were well written and entertaining.  I really liked Grigori, Talia’s oldest friend and Jamie, a shade which is only half luminary. I’m looking forward to seeing more of them in future books. Eudora was also a very interesting character and I can’t wait to see more of her. The evil Hadrian was an incredibly bad, “bad guy”.

This book has a bit of violence that some people may find a little disturbing. Hadrian does some horrific things.  It also leaves off at a cliffhanger.  I need to know what happens next and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

5 STARS
