Gr 9 Up—McEntire weaves together realism and magic as she continues the story of Wendy, a Lightbringer who tries to protect the world and her loved ones from the creatures that live in the Never, the space between worlds. As she faces battles there, she must decide whether bringing the worlds back into balance is worth risking her life-and her soul. Convincing characters, intriguing mystery, a relatable urban setting, and a twist of romance come together beautifully in this final installment. It will draw in established fans and new readers alike, and is reminiscent of Lauren Kate's "Fallen" (Delacorte) and Cassandra Clare's "The Mortal Instruments" (S & S) series, and Holly Black's Tithe (S & S, 2002).—Anna Berger, formerly Literature Consultant, Piper City, IL
