The Mystic Night Wind
Second book in the Bleu Trilogy

by Cissy Hassell



      Cissy Hassell has done a good job of blending two difficult subjects in The Mystic Night Wind -time travel and paranormal activity. Each plays a role and neither overshadows the things that hold a story together like the plot and the characterization. While reading I caught myself wishing that I had read the first of the trilogy, Nowhere.

This is Caileigh Bleu’s story and centers around her search for her sisters; twin Harleigh and the elder Jaedyn. All three were kidnapped and separated over 20 years earlier, and in the previous book Caileigh found her birth parents. She gets unexpected help from a time-traveling searcher, Aiden Cain, whose own rescue mission goes awry from his first moments of transference onto the Earth of 2006. They join forces in a pheromone-flooded road trip across Florida and space to bring loved ones together.

Little things drove me crazy, like if a character is going to swear, they should just use a dirty word to do it, not a made up so-called-polite one. Authoring words like "frishking" isn’t any better for all its extra letters; the character still has the same dirty mouth and casual mind. There were also continuity issues, like Aiden hiding a tool from Cailiegh in one chapter and her asking an intelligent question about the Sphere of Fluorine later in the text. But none of these things impacted the overall flow of the story.

This book is tied tightly to the first in the trilogy, Nowhere, and I think you should read it first before you can fully enjoy The Mystic Night Wind.
