Dark Energy Book Review

Dark Energy

Synopsis: 
Josephine uncovers an important secret about the Valituras, a power-hungry organization that has lived in secret for centuries. They have amassed powerful dark magic and infiltrated all levels of the government. Now that their existence is publicly exposed and Josephine’s discovery leads to the capture of more Valituras agents, they decide to make a big move and declare war against the country. Josephine scrambles to protect herself and her loved ones from this powerful foe.

As she uncovers more clues in her search to expose the hidden identities of the Valituras leaders, her boyfriend grapples with his new talent of white magic which proves to be a potent yet unreliable source of power. Even as Mark’s abilities expand, he struggles to avoid burnout which will lead to a coma and reversion back to mainstream magic. When the U.S. government’s MADA department hires him to attempt restoration of an ancient historical site, American Stone Henge, the Valituras target him for termination.

My Review:

I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

This is book three of "The Grumpy Old Wizards" series. In this portion, Josephine and her friends are once again being pursued by the very dangerous Valituras Group. They had quite a few close calls and if it wasn't for her boyfriend Mark's white energy, it is doubtful any of them would have survived. As they close in on the Valituras, what secrets will be revealed? How will they be able to fight the dark energy that has been attacking them?

This has been such an enjoyable series. Josephine's character and need to protect her friends and family is just amazing. I loved when everyone moved into her new house, I was surprised that the house wasn't cramped! This was an awesome mystery as we uncover who is behind all of the attacks done by the Valituras. The ending has an interesting twist that I never saw coming. This is definitely one of my favorite paranormal mysteries, and I'm sure you will be as engrossed and intrigued as I was!
