Review: Glimmer of Death (The Other Realm Series Book 3) by Heather G Harris

Glimmer of Death by Heather G. Harris
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gripping Urban Fantasy

I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.

This is the third book in a continuing series. You need to have read the previous books to understand this book as there is an overarching storyline. There is a separate storyline that is exclusive to this book that is resolved but the overarching storyline has a cliffhanger.

Jess’s best friend is dying. She made the mistake of getting involved unknowingly with an incubus and he sucked her life energies dry. Desperate to find a cure for her friend she turns to everyone she has met in the Other Realm begging for help but finding no way of saving her friend.

She’s had to put Emory on the back burner somewhat but he’s still pursuing her and when he needs her help as a Truth Seeker she jumps into action alongside him. Creatures are getting sick and no one knows why. During the course of her investigations, she finds out more and more about the world into which she has fallen and Emory’s place in it. People she has met in the previous books make appearances and often offer help when needed.

Both strands of the plot are pretty gripping. Jess desperately wants to find out why her parents are dead and who killed them. She’s been searching for years and that’s why it can be pushed back a little to make way for her work on behalf of Emory. The mystery of the sickness is intriguing and has lots of layers to it.

The characters become more interesting the more we get to know them, in particular, Emory is fascinating and we learn quite a lot more about him and his history in this book. I find myself becoming more and more intrigued with Gato as he seems to have a lot of secrets that he’s incapable of sharing, but that are hinted at by the people who greet him.

The world-building in this series is fantastic. It’s unusual and imaginative which is always fun. I’m not so partial to the time-travelling, but then I never really enjoy that as the ramifications make my head hurt. At least it’s not an overwhelming part of the plot.

I really can’t wait for the next part of this story because I know it’s going to be as good as the first three books in the series. I hope it’s not a long wait!
