Started Book Three of Volume 3!

Witchlight: The third installment of Vol. 3 of the Night World series starts off with a shapshifter named Keller and her two friends attempting to locate the third Wild Power, who has been identified as Illiana Dominick, a lost Harman witch. Illiana is also said to be The Witch Child, a powerful Harman prophecized to marry the son of The Fist House of the Shapeshifters, which will create an unyeilding bond and alliance between the witches and shapeshifters forever. Illiana, a popular and much loved girl and in a human high school, is reluctant to accept her ancestry and her responsibility to the world as The Witch Child and the third Wild Power. Under the careful watch of Keller, vampire Nissa, witch Whinnie, and another shapeshifter Galen, Illiana continues to deny what the three agents of Circle Daybreak repeatedly tell her. Not by a coincidence, Galen is there when Keller tries to convince Illiana of her heritage mall. Galen is there to meet Illiana and get to know her, for he is the only son of the Fist House of the Shapeshifters and is fated to marry Illiana Harman. However, things take an unexpected turn. Everyone knows the of prophecy that states Galen will marry Illiana, but she is not his soulmate. Keller is. Keller's realization that she and Galen are the ones fated to be joined puts the alliance she has worked so hard for at risk. If Illiana does not marry Galen, then Circle Daybreak will lose the shapeshifters to the vampires and no alliance will be formed. For this reason, she is determined to deny she has any feelings for Galen and tries to convince him that he must be with Illiana, who he does not love. Its clear that the only person he has eyes for is Keller. And if this play of emotions between heart and duty weren't enough, a dragon has been awaked from its 30,000 year slumber and is bent on destroying the third Wild Power and bringing about the apocalypse...

Night World Volume 3

"The Night World isn't a place, it's all around us. And now its split in two, Vampires against Witches, Humans, and Daybreakers. The werewolves and shifters could go either way. Which ever side they take could determine the fate of the human race."
This is the third volume of Night World. I'm trying to make it last, but am not succeeding, because the final book, Strange Fate, doesn't come out until April! (which I can't for the life of me understand because this one came out in 1997!) Anyway, Vol. 3 includes Huntress, where a vampire girl of a prominent Night World family finds out that she is in fact half human. Learning this, Jez Redfern leaves her life behind in order to make amends for her past wrong doings to humans, her mother's kind, and stalks the very creatures she had once hunted with. But when Circle Daybreak enlists Jez to reclaim leadership of her old gang in order to identify a Wild Power (a child born the year of the Blind Maiden's vision who will hold off the darkness with three others at the time of the apocalypse) she fears for the human child's life as well as her own, for if those who she had once called her friends find out about her parentage, they would not hesitate to kill her. Jez not only has to keep her family a secret, but also juggles the new feelings awakened in her when she realizes that her soulmate is Morgead, a fellow gang member notoriously famous for hating humans, and the one person Jez is sure would strike her down if he knew the truth. Finding the Wild Power proved to be difficult, and Jez went through two likely candidates before she realized an even greater truth about herself, and her responsibility to the human race.

In Black Dawn, a human girl named Maggie learns of a horrible tragedy, Her eighteen year old brother Miles had been killed in a mountain climbing expedition, or so his girlfriend claims. Maggie however, does not believe Sylvia's crying act and pursues the truth about her brother. Upon confronting Sylvia, Maggie learns that the older girl was in fact lying, but is hit with the realization that she will never know the truth when she is knocked out. When she wakes, Maggie is locked in a cart with three other girls. One around middle school age, the other, a slave who attempted to escape the Dark Kingdom, the place Maggie will soon find herself, a place that is ruled by Night Worlders, where technology is nonexistent, and where humans are slaves to the vampires, shapeshifters, werewolves, and witches. The last girl is a mystery. Being blind, how could she be of any use to the Night Worlders? When Maggie and her new acquaintances attempt to escape, they are forced to split up, leaving Maggie with the nearly unconscious blind girl, Arcadia. (though we find out later her real name is Aradia.) Hiding from the slavetraders, Maggie meets a vampire boy named Delos, who saved her life and Aradia's from a shapeshifter, using the blue flames of a Wild Power. The two realize that they are soulmates, despite what the vampire prince wishes (yes he's the prince of the Dark Kingdom!) and it becomes evident that he must choose a side. Either he will give in to the infamous Hunter Redfern and contribute to the destruction of the human world, or join the Daybreakers and assume his responsibility to hold off the darkness...

As of now, two Wild Powers have been found, and the prophecy states that there must be four:
One from the land of Kings long forgotten (Delos)
One from the hearth which still holds the Spark (possibly a Harman witch?)
One from the Dayworld where two eyes are watching (Jez)
And one from the twilight to be one with the dark (?)

Didn't get to book three yet!

Night World Volume 2

This volume includes: Dark Angel, The Chosen, and Soulmate. I read the first two volumes over Thanksgiving break and picked them out for the long car ride upstate :) The three stories in this volume continue on with individuals from the night World and the human world finding their soulmates and working towards the future for all. It was hinted from the last book that Circle Daybreak, a witch organization that works to bring together the inhabitants of the Night World and the human world, attempts to end the fighting and hatred between the two has resurfaced. Many Daybreakers feel that the fact that countless, and in some cases, very important, members of the Night World have found human soulmates means that a new era is approaching and that the opportunity for the two worlds to coexist peacefully is within reach. Dark Angel tells of the near death experience of Gillian Lennox, a witch of the second kind, meaning that she is oblivious to her ancestry. Gillian copes with this and her new found powers with the help of her "guardian angel." Angel starts out as a helpful and encouraging presence, but things take a turn for the worst when Gillian finds out that Angel wants to kill her soulmate and possess his body so that he could live on earth. The Chosen gives the story of a young vampire hunter, Rashel, who kills any and all vampires in a obsession to avenge to her mother's death and her friend Timmy's disappearance at the hand of a red-haired vampire. Ironically, Rashel's soulmate is one of the very creatures she seeks to destroy. Finally, in Soulamte, a girl learns, from mysterious notes left by her subconcious mind, that she is an Old Soul, a human who keeps coming back from the void, ever since the dawn of civilization. Hannah begins to remember her days in past years, and the one with whom she was always destined to spend them with, Thiery, the first made vampire, Lord of the Night World, and leader of Circle Daybreak. Mysteriously enough, Hannah never lives to see the dawn of her seventeenth birthday and her numerous deaths that span over the centuries are unclear. She is told by a stranger that it is her soulmate who has repeatedly killed her, but when old memories start to rise within her she realizes that she has been kept from lifetimes of happiness with Thierry due to a love triangle that dates back to the creation of the Night World Council.
