Third book in the series, told from the youngest sister's perspective. (Looks like the fourth will be going back to the oldest's.) It was good. The fight continues & we learn more about the family from Menolly. She's a vampire & takes the lead as they battle her creator. The story line is very similar to the other two. I don't have the fourth book & don't mind waiting a while to get it. It's not a bad story, but it's also not compelling or different enough to make me want to run out & get the next. 2.5 stars is more accurate.It's important to read this series in order. I appreciate that the author doesn't drag us down with a lot of recapping, but there is enough to provide spoilers that would harm the suspense in the other books. ( )

Again, Galenorn outdoes herself in developing her characters. The D'Artigo sisters relationships between each other and others shows both their dark sides along with their softer, caring sides. This book focuses on Menolly, the half-human-half-fey-turned-vampire sister. She is a very complex person due to her torture, turning, and deep rooted values that her sire was unable to change. Another favorite! ( )

Darkling was a thrill to read. When I read the first in the series, Witchling, I fell in love with Camille; when I read the second in the series, Changling, I fell in love with Delilah and thought that she was my favorite sister. Then along comes the dark and twisting Darkling. Now it feels as though Menolly is my favorite sister. Each book changes vantage points between sisters, and Galenorn has discovered the secret to making it work, and has made it work phenomenally.

The storyline in Darkling is lighter than that of Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series, but still dark enough that you know not everything is peachy keen. Galenorn shows us that everyone has their own personal demons to handle, and that life isn't always about what is fair. I greatly look forward to reading the next in the Sisters of the Moon series, and discovering more about the world woven in the story and more about the delightfully sexy ass kicking D'Artigo Sisters!

Third in the Sisters of the Moon series. This one is narrated by Menolly, who is half-human, half-fey, and now all vampire. She was tortured and murdered 12 years ago, but her murderer was a vampire who turned her. In this book she and her sister Camille go to the City of Seers, seeking help in their battle against unknown enemies. There Menolly finds healing from her emotional wounds.

So far I've liked this one the best in the series. The scenes set in the City of Seers are wonderfully imaginative, and the delving into Menolly's pain is well, sometimes even lyrically, handled. ( )

We're the D'Artigo Sisters: Half-human, half-Faerie, we're savvy--and sexy--operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. But our mixed-blood heritage short-circuits our talents at all the wrong times. My sister Camille is a wicked-good witch whose magic is as unpredictable as the weather. My sister Delilah transforms into a tabby cat when she's under stress. And me? I'm Menolly, acrobat-extraordinaire-turned-vampire. And I'd give my right fang to make my sire pay for killing me. That is, if he doesn't find me first...

"All over Seattle, humans have been going missing, only to turn up as newborn vampires--the sure sign of a rogue vamp on the loose. It looks like Dredge is to blame. The same sadistic Dredge who gave me my scars, and who may well be in cahoots with the demon Shadow Wing. If so, Otherworld and Earth are screwed. The only way we can hope to defeat Dredge is for me to travel home to Otherworld, where I must face my own demons. Because unless I sever the ties that bind me to Dredge, all hell is going to break loose..."
