Originally reviewed for Tea and Book.One immortal child born of a human woman would save the world.After the death if the god of the north the world is out if balance. Leaving the immortals fighting for existence. Having sought out a solution they rely on an ancient prophecy. Only they are not sure if all the details as the prophecy has been lost.In the third full book of her Night Series, Lisa Kessler tells an exciting conclusion to the prophecy. Except it isn't that simple there are those who wish to destroy the immortals and mankind for their own enjoyment.Muriah La Deaux is the last if her family. A family guarded by the immortals and who hold special gifts. Muriah has visions when she touches an item. A skill she has kept from everyone but has found it quite useful in her career of finding lost or missing artifacts. Of course thus time it may be more dangerous than normal. Her client and sort of boyfriend is dead and a rather freaky "man" has been hanging out around her home and shop.Issa, god of the west is the god of sacrifice and millennium of doing the right thing has cost him his humanity, for lack of a better word. He has been called to help find, then protect the missing codix and the unborn child. Only one look at the human woman who he will be assisting makes him want to forget all about duty.Muriah and Issa are two hard headed individuals who question that live exists and most certainly don't believe in Happily Ever After. But they do believe in family, loyalty and duty. Somehow that has to be enough. Until Issa realizes that when he is with Muriah he has hope once again. That there may just be more to life than obligations and duty.It's a good thing Muriah has begun to believe in Issa because it's going to take more than luck to contain a god.Another excellent offering from the mind I'd Ms. Kessler.ShauniThis review is based on the ARC of Night Child, provided by netgalley
