Maggie was a fifteen-year old California city girl when she was sent to spend the summer with relatives she'd never met in the wild Blue Ridge Mountains. She found herself surrounded by strangers with odd rituals and frightening habits. The villagers were slightly more than human, and other residents weren’t human at all. Turns out the natural world is filled with magic and not all of it is good. Every aspect of Maggie Stewart’s life changed when her mother died. No longer a carefree, ordinary high school junior, she’s an orphan, a mid-year transfer student to a high school in eastern West Virginia, and the only person who can keep her little brother from destroying the cycle between Night and Day. A year has passed and Maggie has developed the crucial skill of energy-touch therapy (aka Healing Hands) so she can become the next great spiritual healer of the Cacapon coven of Appalachia, but the moon goddess has murdered members of her family for the last seven generations, and has decided to kill Maggie and her brother next.The goddess wants blood and she's built an army. Maggie and her coven must fight back or they will all die. The only way Maggie can protect her loved ones is if she outsmarts the Queen of the Night.SAVING DAYLIGHT is the final volume in the Queen of the Night trilogy. Here’s what’s been said about the first two books:4/5 stars A Fantastic Magic Ride! September 29, 2014 By Adam Oster Seeing Magic starts off like many young adult novels, with a young adult being introduced to a new world where they find out that they are part of a legacy much larger than themselves. The main character, Maggie, is quickly introduced to this world that lives alongside our own and is quite quickly placed to lead it, as we find within the opening chapters.From there, however, we're brought inside of a much stronger, living world, built with care by author Emmons as it seems to combine the belief systems of several different cultures to be crafted into its own, somewhat druidic coven of magic users. Where this story really finds its footing is with the magic itself. Emmons world involves so many different magical creatures, imaginatively working together as a community...a community that quickly finds itself endangered.That's where the fun comes in. Maggie finds herself in the midst of all this, an outsider, but one who possesses the talents that might be able to help this community continue to thrive. She's part of something much bigger than herself, but still, ultimately, the same person she was when she walked in. That is, until she begins to realize how her actions can truly effect the world around her.4/5 stars I'm really excited to see what happens next! November 14, 2014 By Adam Oster Healing Hands starts up about six months after the end of Seeing Magic, the first in the Queen of the Night series. We find that while seemingly not too much has actually changed for our heroine, Maggie, there's a lot that will. These items have been in play for years, all of Maggie's life even, that the events at the start of the book are actually part of something much much greater than we could imagine.Emmons does something quite magical with the second book in her series. She takes a story that seems almost as if it's a summer love tale, and makes it into something much grander, much more epic in scope, a scope that some readers (myself included) might not even realize until the final pages. Much of this book sets up the next book in the series, but don't think that Emmons has left us with nothing by a bridge between books. Healing Hands may develop the pieces necessary for book three in the series, but she does so while crafting a compelling second step in Maggie's journey to her role as Great Healer. A compelling step that will leave you smiling as you finish the final pages, while also hoping that the wait for the next book won't be very long.
