The Light Thieves & The Terrifying Dawn - Helena Duggan

 

Grian, Shelli and Jeffrey are in a race to save the sun from being stolen by Howard Hanson, and with barely any sun left, the trio fear that they may be fighting a losing battle.  The only person who can help is White Rose, but they don't know who that is, nor do they know where to find them.  With only four letters to go on, the trio need to find the answers they need before the sun is extinguished forever.

This is the final book in The Light Thieves trilogy (you can read my reviews for the previous books here: The Light Thieves ; Search For The Black Mirror) and so I was full of excitement when The Terrifying Dawn arrived for me.  It's been such a thrilling series so I was desperate to find out how it all ends.

I love that Helena always does a 'The Story So Far' section at the beginning of the book set out in pictures and key notes, and The Terrifying Dawn is no different.  It's a brilliant way of bringing myself back up to speed in a quick and easy way.  

The book centres on the race to stop Howard Hanson by solving the clues left in four letters by White Rose, and you can find these letters at the beginning of the book.  Grian, Shelli and Jeffrey need all the help they can get and find themselves questioning things on more than one occasion, but one thing remains true and that's their friendship and loyalty to each other - it really is wonderful to see.

This is an action-packed rollercoaster of a finale that is bursting with hope and resilience.  With twists and heart-stopping moments galore, this is a book you won't be able to put down.

Like the A Place Called Perfect trilogy, Helena has created a vivid world that readers have become invested in and this makes the race to save it even more exciting. The Light Thieves And The Terrifying Dawn is a brilliantly fitting ending to a series I have loved.  I'm sad to be saying goodbye to Grian, Shelli and Jeffrey, but I'm looking forward to seeing what Helena writes next.
