I absolutely loved this one, and the series as a whole is definitely a new all-time favorite. I had such a great experience reading these books and I absolutely adore Audrey Rose and Thomas. I do think the drama at the beginning of the book was quite unnecessary and in my opinion those scenes could have just been added at the end of the book, without the drama. Overall, I didn't mind it all too much though, because I also kind of appreciated that the structure of this book was a bit different (the other books were similar in that dead people kept turning up and they tried to figure out who did it throughout the whole story). I do not read romance books at all, but I actually really enjoyed the romance in this book because I absolutely love the characters individually and together. Towards the end, it was super suspenseful and I couldn't help but stay up until 3am to finish this book. I am quite sad that the series is over now.

10 out of freaking 10 I鈥檓 dyingggg. I鈥檓 so obsessed with Audrey and Thomas and their dynamic 馃槶
I did NOT appreciate the first wedding not going ahead and seeing their sadness it was foul 馃槶馃槶 Seeing the sparkly flower Thomas recreated from his painting on his jacket did it for me 馃挃.
I LOVEDDD how this book tied the previous three together because I they felt a bit disconnected to me while reading. Even though it was kinda obvious who Jack was I didn鈥檛 mind it as the final scenes with Audrey in his freaking lair stressed me the hell out but I loved it. I鈥檓 glad it ended nicely and they got their happy ending I鈥檓 mourning I don鈥檛 get more of them 馃挃

No es un mal libro, pero no era lo que esperaba.

Siento que la saga tuvo un comienzo excelente, pero que, a medida que avanzaban las secuelas, iba decayendo. El primer libro me fascin贸. El segundo me gust贸 bastante. El tercero fue "meh" y este 煤ltimo tuve que obligarme a terminarlo.

El misterio me result贸 extremadamente predecible (en comparaci贸n con los previos). Y la historia se toma m谩s tiempo del necesario en la subtrama del romance, con problemas y giros que me resultaron innecesarios y escritos solo por fanservice (que no es lo que yo buscaba en esta saga en particular).

La escena final del crimen me encant贸. El texto final de la autora donde explica sus licencias hist贸ricas me result贸 fascinante. Y, a pesar de todo, me encantan los personajes.

El resto del libro... meh.

Empec茅 a leer la saga porque buscaba un buen misterio hist贸rico (que encontr茅 en el libro 1).
Termin茅 de leer la saga sintiendo que el mism铆simo Mephistopheles me hab铆a enga帽ado para tratar de venderme un romance hist贸rico con subtrama policial en realidad.

En fin...

La saga como un todo es buena. La disfrut茅 y no me arrepiento de haberla le铆do. Pero este libro es el m谩s "d茅bil" de los cuatro, al menos seg煤n mis preferencias personales y mis expectativas.
