I think my favorite part about this series was how short each book actually was. Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Annihilate is the last book in the Hive Trilogy. Even though certain things did happen in this book.. I felt like everything was rushed. Especially when it came to everything revolving around Charlie being the cure. I just wanted more from this series because once I got something it was over 2.3 milliseconds later.

I think I'll miss the little found family within this series but I'm not really sure about that right now. There are certain parts I adored and wanted more of but others I could have done with out. I get that the drama needed to happen but Tessa becoming a vampire for like an hour seemed pretty pointless. I know that she was a vampire longer than that it just felt like it lasted for an hour.

Then there's the romance. I got kisses and I love you's.. and that's basically it. Heck yes I wanted way more than that. I guess the one good thing was Jayden's snarky ass being in these books because I would have rioted if he died randomly.

In the end, I guess I'm glad that I finally finished this short ass trilogy. Even though I wanted way more than what I got.

3.5 I really Love Jaymin’s first world trilogy but found this series to have been way to faced paced. The entire final showdown scene that the 3 books were building up to was done in like 15 pages and was a big let down imo.

Fun, exciting, and entertaining!

What a great book series! The main female character is so strong and charismatic. You can’t help but like her. The whole series fits together and the ending is exactly what a reader wants.

My only criticism is for all the abbreviations. BAFF, OMFG, NAFC...okay, I made some of those up, but you get the idea. There were a lot of them. I felt like I was trying to figure out teen speak, and Charlie is older than that. Through out the book series there were a lot of grammatical issues. So, I’m taking a star off for grammar and abbreviations.

I am sorry to see the serie ending! I found the ending and the fight a little rushed, I wish there was a little more emotion by Lucas's scene and I kind of hoped there would be a little more fight with the vampire's ! Overall I enjoyed it but I wish I could have pushed the 5 stars!

Fab Finale

This is an amazing series and book 3 Annihilate was the icing on the cake. The action starts straight from the beginning and doesn't let up all the way through. Charlie ,Ryder and the rest of the gang go all out to bring down the evil vamps, this is a fun filled edge of your pants ride and I enjoyed every second, so sad its over but happy also if that makes sense.

This was a fun series that kept up with the entertainment and action in each book. It won’t be winning any awards for character development or deeper aspects to the story but I thought it was more consistent overall than others of similar genre and age

Annihilate begins with Charlie and her friends finding out about what Sam has been hiding and figuring out why he lied to them for so long. However, Becca may be able to use Charlie’s blood to help create a cure for the vampires and spread it around the world to get rid of them for good.

As Charlie and her friends embark on this dangerous journey they will have new allies, and the possibility of losing their own lives plus those that they care about as well.

This was a great end to this series. These two authors are great together, and this story had me sucked in and now wanting to get out. I finished the book very quickly because of how into it I was!

Charlie was a great character who was not only badass she was also funny at times as well. Then you throw in her romance with Ryder and that makes this book a hundred times better.
And of course, the side characters and romances are great as well. It was a great ending to this series, with a great HEA! I look forward to reading more by these two authors.
