In book 3 in the Wing Hunter Slayers, it’s Phoenix’s job to stop rogues from killing innocent earth witches. When he meets Ailish, he’s desperate to fight the bloodlust that’s telling him to kill her. Cursed into killing witches when they once protected them, the Wing Slayer Hunters need to find their soul-mirror (the earth witch whose soul is connected to theirs) in order to break the curse. Ailish is Phoenix’s soul-mirror, but she’s already promised to another. Phoenix is also the mythical phoenix and finds in Ailish more than just the other half of his soul.
Ailish is an earth witch but was raised in a coven of cruel demon witches. Her evil mother promised Ailish’s soul and her magical siren voice to the demon Asmodeus. Tricked into a handfasting ceremony with Asmodeus, Ailish has struggled for the past eight years to break the handfast and to survive on her own. She’s a strong, determined woman and being blind made her that much stronger.
I absolutely loved this book. It’s fast-paced and kept my attention. Phoenix and Ailish are wonderful characters (my fav couple in the series), and you can’t help but root for them. He’s so sexy, sweet, and a total badass with a funny side. The Chuck Norris jokes are hilarious. The ending is a tearjerker, so make sure you grab a tissue.
The side characters are great as always. The story takes place about five or six months after the first book, so it’s nice to see how the bonded couples are doing and how the non-bonded men are coping with the bloodlust. We also get an update on Joe and Morgan, the mortals who befriended the hunters in book one.
There were a few typos, for example: the crying kitten can’t be both a her and a him kitty.
The book is a great addition to series, and it furthers the overall series arc about taking down the evil Quinn Young, the leader of the rogues and the Wing Slayer Hunters main enemy.
I definitely recommend it.

Enjoying the series, Book 3. Got a little tired of Demon tricks in this one

Description: She's a siren he can't resist...
Phoenix Torq is the devilishly handsome bad boy of the Wing Slayer Hunters. Tormented by a mysterious singing in his head, he tracks the compelling voice and discovers his soul mirror witch and his ultimate salvation. Awesome, except that she's already engaged--to a demon. Yet Ailish's fierce independence and genuine heart draw him into wicked fight that could cost him his life and soul.

He's a dangerous temptation...
Ailish Donovan is a blind witch who was tricked into a handfast with a demon. She absolutely refuses to serve a vile demon, or surrender control of her powerful magic to him. Ailish has two weeks to break the evil bond or she'll die. When Phoenix explodes into her life, he lights up her dark world with steamy sensuality and steals her heart. She's desperate to become a witch worthy of the man she loves...but how does she escape the demon's hold on her?

Are they destined for tragedy?
With sure death speeding toward his beautiful and strong Ailish, Phoenix goes to hell and back seeking the magic to free her. But the answer he sought is one he doesn't want. One of them must die. ( )

This book was amazing! Everything about this book sucked me in from the beginning and left me wanting more in the end. With a plot full of twists and turns, and characters that felt emotionally raw and real, I couldn’t help but stay up until the wee hours of the night just to finish. The progression from parts of the story that were emotionally heavy to parts that were light and humorous felt very fluid with no bumps or hiccups along the way. I will definitely read this book many times!

Night Magic is the third installment of Jennifer Lyon’s Wing Slayer Hunter series. In this amped-up novel we meet Ailish Donovan, a blind earth witch who was bound, as a teenager, to a demon by her power hungry, rogue witch mother. For the past eight years Ailish has the victim of a nasty Catch-22: she has been desperately searching for a way to break the binding but no earth witch will help her because of the binding. Consequently, Ailish has learned little about her own magic in the interceding years that can help save her life now. One thing she did learn: she has a powerful voice that has the ability to enhance any and all magic living around her. Unbeknownst to Ailish, her voice also has the power to call her soul mirror.

For months now Wing Slayer Hunter Phoenix Torq has been hearing a voice in his head and it likes to sing. The voice is at once compelling and disturbing, even for a Hunter the voice is an unusual ability in a male not bonded to his soul mirror. One night the voice in Phoenix’s head becomes far too strong to resist and he runs to Ailish only to find her trying, yet again, to perform a spell that will release her from the demon binding. What Phoenix stumbles into blows his mind and shatters his perceptions about what an earth witch really is. Did I forget to mention that even though she is blind, Ailish is also a world-class kick boxer? Sorry about that. Ailish is a world-class kick boxer and upon meeting Phoenix she kicks his ever-loving ass.

While both Ailish and Phoenix are accustomed to sacrifice, neither is prepared for what’s in store for them. The two fall for one another almost instantly and their attraction to one another borders on primal. Neither is afraid to give into their primal urges but both realize that they have very little time to satisfy these urges before the demon binding claims Ailish’s life. Their task of finding a solution to the problem is made all the harder by the fact that the other witches (Carla and Darcy) and the remaining Wing Slayer Hunters find it hard to trust a witch who is bound to a demon. As we discover, both Ailish and Phoenix are willing to sacrifice everything in order to save the other.

As always, Lyon’s satisfies the reader with a strong plot line that ties in nicely with the long term plot line. Ailish is by far the strongest of the female characters: her strength (both physical and mental), her confidence, and her ability to love despite all she has been through leaves the reader cheering for her! Phoenix is one of my favorite Hunters which he earned through his actions. Phoenix doesn’t just love Ailish, he loves everything about her and even though she shakes his foundations, he rebounds nicely and becomes a true partner or soul mirror to his witch. ( )
