I have read all previous books as soon as they came out and yes I read this one as soon as I received my copy.
I love this series and this book so much but I am sad that this is the last book.
This series is one of my favourites and will be one I will read again in the future.

I'm not sure why but I felt let down at the end of the book. I guess I wanted more secrets from all the fae around but the series was great!

My one complaint about this series overall is that the freaking love triangle takes SO freaking long to resolve. I like biker boy, I do, but let's be honest. It's always been Gabriel. The Gabriel/ Olivia dynamic was by far the best part of the series, but it was seriously undercut by an unnecessarily long love triangle. It's infuriating.
I'm a Gabriel shipper, and I've been waiting for four LONG books for him to become emotionally mature and go after Olivia, and they finally get their moment like 80% through the last book. I heard this was going to be the last in the series, but I sincerely hope that's not true.
Might I have some more, please????

I wasn't into the fight scenes
As far as last books go, this was a great one. I enjoyed a great deal of it. There were just things that I felt could have been left out, and things talked about more.
Pamela and Tod could have been involved more. The fact that they didn't get a resolution bugs me, because I wanted more Tod in the last book but I just got more Pamela and Patrick.
Did she need to add the weird, complicated slaugh stuff that took up too much time and meant absolutely nothing in the long run? I don't really think so...they were...kinda boring to me.
I would like more about Grace and Victoria though, those two were good in this book.
The ending wasn't perfect, but it was...satisfying. I liked this enough to get through most of this within a few days compared to the month it took me to read Betrayals.

I loved the final book in this series. It was really good. But I am so sad that this series is over. I wish I had read it slowly. Sad to say bye to these characters :(

4.5 stars. Listen, since Omens I have been very consistent about this series, in that all I care about is Olivia/Gabriel. The main plot does not matter to me (I've read Betrayals like 3 times and still couldn't give you even a hint of a plot summary); as long as I enjoy the Olivia/Gabriel development, I'm happy. Which means I absolutely adored this book, because it did everything I wanted with Olivia/Gabriel. And it's a weird thing, because I've read other much more critical reviews, and the whole time, I'm like, "Yep, that's a totally valid complaint, I see where those criticisms are coming from, can't argue against that at all," etc., but those things just… don't matter to me at all. So that's where I'm coming from here.
I just really loved Gabriel and Olivia finally finding their way into a relationship that wouldn't have seemed possible in Omens but that made sense at this point in their development. I loved that Gabriel has finally gotten to a place where he can communicate with Liv (even if he still doesn't always know the right things to do) and how he's learned to care about people besides Liv as well. AND THE FACT THAT HE PLANNED A ROMANTIC GETAWAY TO WOO HER!!! And it also endlessly delighted me that Olivia was fantasizing about sex with Gabriel while thinking, "Well, that's not going to happen any time soon," at the same time that Gabriel was planning a romantic weekend for him to woo her. They're both so great and so dumb and everything with them made me so happy. And the fact that he told her about the kiss in the previous book!!! I do wish they had gotten together like a book earlier so we could've seen more of how they would actually navigate being in a relationship since we didn't get much of it here (they were too focused on plot-stuff after they finally got together), but I still loved how all the development we got between them in the previous four books culminated in this one.
I did have some minor issues with the Ricky stuff. It felt really weird for him to be completely absent from the first half of the book, although it made sense for him to be away while Olivia and Gabriel were getting their shit together, and then once they were finally in a relationship to bring Ricky back. But it still felt weird for him to not be around for half the book, and I also felt like it didn't give him enough time to deal with it once he found out since they needed to do plot-related things. And I've always loved Ricky (even though Olivia/Ricky never did anything for me), and I loved that he did his best to accept Olivia/Gabriel right away, but at the same time, even though this was why he dumped Olivia and he saw this coming, he still deserved more time to come to terms with it, I think. Like, I saw some complaints about him being the only of the trio to really tempted by the sluagh at the end, and I think it made sense since Gabriel and Olivia were more secure in their relationship after having gotten together whereas Ricky was the odd man out, but I also think if he hadn't immediately had to jump to being fine with everything and had more time to deal with them being together on his own, he would've been less susceptible as well.
Olivia's choice was definitely a cop-out and underwhelming, especially since even though she says she's choosing both, it does feel like she's choosing the fae. If I had ever cared about her choice this probably would've bothered me more.
So basically: I totally get people's complaints, but the Gabriel/Olivia stuff was perfect to me, so I loved this.

What a good ending to this series. I really enjoyed the character development we were given throughout and I was very pleased to get more of Gabriel.
