It is not often that a book will make
you say “Wow! I didn't expect”. Karice Bolton's Cataclysm
is such a book. Cataclysm is the aptly named conclusion to Ms.
Bolton's supernatural adventure Watcher's trilogy. In the book we
continue to follow fallen angels/white demons Ana, Athen, Arie and
Cyril as prepare to lead their fellow white demon into the climatic
battle against Azazel and his army of dark demons. From the very
start of the book you be hooked as there is a seamless transition
from the end of the previous book Legions.
There is plenty of action that keeps your attention as our heroic
group uncover and attempt to thwart Azazel's plan of building up hs
army while raising their own forces.
As
always Ms. Bolton adds a cast of rich vibrant characters to an
ever-growing cast. One of these new characters is Noah, a white demon
that lost his soul-mate to the forces of darkness, who proves himself
as a valuable to the group with his skills at intelligence gathering.
Returning is the evil seductress Lilith who we first meet in the
Awakening in one of
Ana's vision. Topping off this cast is our heroine Ana the eternal
optimist that finds the power to make her visions come true.
One of
my favorite scenes is when Ana first discovers the way that the dark
demons are building their army by turning humans. At first she is
shocked and horrified at the sight she is witnessing. She later
realize though that with the help of the other white demons they can
use this to their advantage.
I
would highly recommend this book to anyone that has read the other
two books, likes romance, adventure, supernatural or believes in the
existence of angels & demons.
