The Dark Light of the Day review

The Dark Light of the Day was written by Jill Archer.  This novel was published earlier this year in 2012. It is the first novel in a supernatural series. The series is called Noon Onyx novels.

The Dark Light of the Day is a dark, romantic, and supernatural novel. It is a dark novel because of its character’s haunting and mysterious pasts or beginnings. The main character, Noon Onyx, is a magic user with the Maegester powers, which is a power closely related to death. Maegesters have control over fire and demons and are always males except Noon. Noon should have been born with Mederi powers because she is a female. Noon hates that she was born differently than how she was supposed to be and she had no idea why she was different.  Noon and Peter, Noon’s best friend, try to find a book that could set Noon’s powers to how they were supposed to be.

The romance in the novel comes from two different men. One man is her best friend, Peter, and he reveals his feelings for Noon as the story goes on. Noon does have feelings for Peter but these feeling seem to be mainly friendly as the second man holds her heart. The second man is Ari Carmine, who helps Noon accept and learn how to use her powers. Noon is reluctant to talk to Ari at first, when he discovers she has the Maegester powers, but she soon began to give in and spend time with him. Ari is a bad boy, powerful, handsome, and smart.  As the novel progressed, you begin to learn how good Ari and Noon are together.

Noon believes she can not have children because she has Maegester powers, which she thinks will kill any baby she may conceive.  This is one of her major reasons for wanting to change her powers.  Noon begins to learn to accept herself and her powers as the novel goes on. She begins to realize it is not a horrible thing, if she can not change her powers to that of a Mederi.

I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys romance, the supernatural, and action in their novels. I really enjoyed reading The Dark Light of the Day. It is a spectacular novel.
