Ok, I'm completely and utterly in love with this series and it's definitely become a favorite. I love Caleb, I love John, and I love Gray -- they're just so perfect together. Not to mention all the awesome paranormal goodness that SUMMONER OF STORMS and the rest of the series brings. I loved the way Jordan L. Hawk incorporated it all and the unique ideas they brought to the genre. This last installment of series 1 was action packed and full of gut check moments for our characters and it all culminates into a huge monster showdown. I was riveted!

And talk about a truly unique poly relationship; I'm not even sure if that's the right way to categorize it since Caleb and Gray are sharing the same body but I was here for it. I love all three of these guys and their devotion to each other. I can't wait to jump into series 2!

This series was quite the ride, from start to finish. I was happily surprised to be, well surprised, by how things went. Just when I thought I had an idea what would happen, it didn't, and I LOVED it. I loved Gray and Caleb and John, and how they made things work, and will be continuing on with the next part of this series.

This was a good ending to the series, as sh*t hit the fan and everything came together. I liked this series, and found the love story surprisingly sweet in the middle of all the horror. It was an entertaining story, it was action-filled and filled with horror, as well as sweet, heartfelt and hot. There were lots of strange and scary moments, and magic, and demons and other magical beings. So yeah. Fun times.

I loved the series but the narrator is not the best. His voices and tone is inconsistent as is his accent. It made it hard to tell who was speaking at times. There were overall sound quality issues as well. However, I liked the sound of his voice so I was able to look past the flaws and still enjoyed the story.

An absolutely perfect end to an amazing series. This with action, filled with action, suspense, and creepiness. I loved how Caleb &Gray blended together and they got their HEA with John.

Good ending to part 1 of this fun series. This author never disappoints. A good amount of genuine horror with some good ole fashion romance, you know, between a drakul possessed human and an exorcist. A threesome but not really. Love it.

I've really enjoyed this series and Summoner of Storms wraps up the first SPECTR series with a bang. After all the reveals in the previous book I was excited to start this one and see what would happen here. This book is a bit longer than the previous ones and it nicely dives deeper into those revelations and also brings more reveals to light. It's filled with action, as well as some great twists and reveals. And some romance and steam as well. I really like how this series mixes those different elements into a great read.

So much has changed in the last book that I wasn't quite sure what to expect of this book. They have a new enemy now and have to figure out what's going on. And now that the relationship changed form between 2 guys to 3 the romance feels different too. Which was all handled well. I also liked how we get to question something a character has done and see the other characters struggle with that as well. Then there are some interesting questions and reveals about what exactly Grey is and the what the Vigilant are.

There is a big showdown at the end and the rest of the book builds on to that. There are some reveals and twists along the way and slowly they figure out what their enemy is up to and then it's a mad dash to try and stop this plans. There is plenty of action and there's this big action filled ending to this book and the way things get wrapped up after that was great to read.

I really liked seeing how the romance developed. From the start there have been hints that it might turn into this relationship and it was awesome to see it all get explored in this book. It's great seeing how Caleb and Gray amicably share the same body now and how there's no jealously between them. They share John and their body and it goes well. It's also great to see John fully embracing this and I liked their romance and seeing how it all worked. There's a bit more steam in this book than in the previous one,s but I thought that fit well with the recent developments and also the big finale of the ending.

This was a satisfying ending to the series that wraps up the main plot lines, ends the romance plot line at a great pace and ends on a hopeful note as they face the rest of their lives. I am kinda curious where the next series will be about as this could easily work as a series ender. So I actually have no clue what the focus on those will be. There is enough open to develop more, but no big things that feel like they need answers now. I enjoy reading about these characters and already bought the second series and look forward to seeing what the characters will face there.

To summarize: This was a great ending to this first SPECTR series. This book is a bit longer than the previous installments and provides a satisfying conclusion to this series. There is plenty of action, as well as some reveals and twists. I also liked seeing how the romance develops and how the characters deal with their new relationship. Gray and Caleb become better at sharing their body and now also share a lover and it was interesting to see how that all worked out. The ending was an exciting tension filled battle. This book wraps up the main plot lines well and could easily work as series ender, but there will be more stories. I look forward to diving into the second series.

Moves the story forward, takes care of current crisis and sets the table for more, but also for a better understanding of John/Caleb/Gray.
