Dayum, Nicola Rose does not fail to deliver.
I've been a fan of the Elwood Legacy from book one and all I can say is my heart's bleeding that it's over. But what a finale! Aside the smut and hotness of certain passages and certain specific (ALEX) characters, I have to say I did not quite see the ending coming. There were a few twists I did not expect and that took me by surprise, which to me is always a good thing. I hate those predictable endings, and prefer to have my head bashed with something I did not foresee. But what I loved the most about this book was Jess. Jessica Layton is going to remain one of my most favourite female characters EVER. She's so flawed, and yet so human in her flaws. SHe's conflicted, like normal people, she messes up, screws up, tries to redeem herself, she falls down and gets back up, and she's just so strong. Even when she's completely vulnerable and submitting to others, she's strong. She remains herself, she does what she deems has to be done. And bows down to none. I'm going to miss Zac, Alex, yes, but mostly I'm going to miss Jess, who taught me a lesson or two about being ok with what others see as our faults. I can only thank Nicola Rose for this.

*This is the conclusion in the Elwood Legacy trilogy and Taste the Dark and Burn the Dark MUST be read first.
Jess has let go and embraced the darkness with Alex, living on the mantra of blood sex fire and death for weeks, accidently bringing forth the vampire apocolypse. But nothing and no one will get in her way and stop her. Not even Zac, who is always there. His light not far from where Jess and Alex leave destruction and chaos in their wake. But something under Jess's skin wants more. Will all be lost, or will Jess be able to reign in her darkness, and save the vampire and human race from extinction?
This book was the conclusion to the Elwood trilogy, and got darker and dirtier than the first two. Bringing forth an apocolypse, the world in a frenzy of destruction, chaos, and war Jess has to decide if she wants to continue on with having her feelings buried, and thriving in the darkness and fun of being a new vampire-witch hybrid, or to flip the switch and let in her feelings and the light and find some morality. The love triangle is still very much in play- she undoubtably loves Alex, but the bond between her and Zac is still present. Now the trio has to face off not only with the unfinished business with the Bael, but also the humans and the catastrophic consequences of the Morena Legacy. Will they survive, or will the apocalypse doom them all? I loved loved loved this story and how everything played out. Alex was still my favorite, and the war within himself. I have a thing for assholes, alphas, & bad boys and Alex fit that perfectly. Especially since he was a vampire. And Zac still warred with his beast even after the events of book two. And Jess grew into her own. Owning her vampirism, and powers. Taking control. These characters have owned me, filled me up, and left me wanting more. Amazing finale to an amazing trilogy. 4.5⭐ out of 5⭐
