Eh. While I did finish it, I must say a somewhat predictable ending.
Perfect ending to a series. There were many twists and turns I didn't see coming. It was such a great book and I am sad the series has come to an end.
I'll miss looking forward to what happens next in this series...but it had a very nice ending! Some series-end-books haven't been that amazing to me recently, but this one is for sure one of the good ones. The various subplots are tied up well and none forgotten (even though I had forgotten about a few over the books) and the climax/nearing the end was cleverly written and unpredictable. Too often I guess how books will end, probably because I've read so many of the similar kinds of books, but I'll admit there were a number of twists I didn't see coming.
Also, there was one of the most awkward scenes ever, which you'll recognize as soon as you read it. Loved that.
The Paris setting originally sold the book for me, because no matter the content of the story, you just can't miss out of a Paris setting. And I recognized a number of the places mentioned, from when I visited Paris a few years ago.
Speaking of content, up till the end, these books still rang bells of "zombie-esque Twilight" in my head (see my review of the first book), which is okay; there's definitely an originality in the actual supernaturalness, just not quite the events that accompany it, you know?
If you're a fan of this series, you will not be disappointed! And if you haven't read the first two, well, you shouldn't really be reading this review even though it's completely spoiler-free. Go catch up, there's still a few months till the last one comes out!

The ending was predictable and yet it was not. Just an amazing trilogy
Hmm… I have mixed feelings about this one and I don’t really know what to say. I think this was the weakest book in the series, which is sad since this is the finale…
There was lot of going on, maybe too much. I haven’t thought Kate to be whiny before but now she spent far too much time pining for him, wanting to hold him etc… I get that she thought she was losing him but still.
And oh Jules… There were hints before that he loves Kate but he didn’t want to “steal” his best friend’s girl. I was happy that there wouldn’t actually be love triangle. But now? He decides that he has to leave because he can’t be around Kate and Vincent. Really?! Why did you have to make things go that way!
I did enjoy this but I can’t deny that this was little too predictable at times.

An beautiful, bittersweet finale. Kate and Vincent have, respectively, become two of my favorite characters, and together they make up one of my favorite fictional couples. This trilogy is definitely one of my all-time favorites, and each book is even better than the last! They're all entertaining, but the intensity builds with each one. I couldn't be more satisfied with the ending, and I absolutely loved the French culture and scenery these books contained. Easily my new favorite paranormal romance, or at least tied with Lux for the #1 spot! :)

I never thought Kate would become a bardia or end up being the Champion, even though I probably should've connected the dots. The final battle was epic! I'm glad Kate ended up becoming a revenant, though, because now she and Vincent can be together forever and that makes me so happy. Although I'm sad that Jean-Baptiste died, and I feel so bad for Gaspard. I also feel bad knowing that Kate will eventually watch her grandparents and Georgia die while she still lives. ALSO IS CHARLOTTE ALIVE? She wasn't mentioned in the memorial ceremony, but if there was any mention of her beyond when she got hit with the arrow I missed it. IS SHE HURT? IS SHE ALIVE? SHE BETTER BE. KATE NEEDS A REVENANT GIRL FRIEND. (As in friend that's a girl. I will forever ship her with Vincent, so...)

I liked this book, but it wasn't really anything special. It was pretty predictable, and it felt like I'd lost all connection with the characters.
This book gives the series a perfect rounded off ending however some aspects of the book were very predictable and It annoyed me that Kate didn't see them sooner. however ignoring this fact I absolutely loved the books and am sad to see the series finish.
