Have you ever read a book simply to see where a series is going to go? The Sisters of the Moon/Otherworld series by Yasmine Galenorn has gotten to this point for me. Night Huntress, the 5th book in the series, advances the story of the D'Artigo sisters as they try to protect Earth and Otherworld from an encroaching demon threat, but often throughout the book I found myself wondering why I was bothering to continue reading it. Delilah, around whom this book focuses, had been my favorite character, and still is, but that wasn't enough to keep me 100% interested. At one point Delilah tells readers that "each fight has its own feel", but in these books, that didn't seem to be true. There were several moments when I felt like I had read that part of the book before.
I want to give a plot synopsis, but the plot wasn't tied together very well. Delilah and Chase are having some relationship problems which leads Delilah to reconnect with Zach of the Puma pride. The demon from book 4 makes a reappearance to try and claim the 4th spirit seal. Again the plot seems too bogged down with fight scenes and other things that you lose the connection to the characters. I found myself reading the book to see where it was going to go and being disappointed by the lack of depth.
I want to be able to recommend this book, but I'm not sure I can.I give this book 2.5 out of 5 stars.
