YESSS!!!
God I love this series. Whyborne and Griffin’s loving and supporting relationship continues to give me life. Their devotion to each other and the deepest level of care they extend to their family make me all misty eyed.
If you want to read something that offers an absolutely amazing use of the Lovecraftian mythos, fantastic action, fleshed-out characters, and a ton of heart you should definitely check this one out (starting from the very beginning, of course).
The tension is rising, the stakes have never been higher, and I just can’t wait for the conclusion!

I love this series. I love the characters. I love the storyline. I love Ival and Griffin’s development as a couple and as people. I love how badass and funny Christine is and how she is with Iskander and him with her. I love Heliabel and all the ketoi as well.
I’ll be sad when this series ends but I look forward to our heroes take down the Masters for good.

I have read a lot of series, but I have never seen one that is so long where the author seemed to have major plot points and arc decided from the start of the series. Hawk doesn't seem to need to retcon anything; nothing needs to be changed, only expanded upon. I may have missed things because I am only reading for enjoyment, but the more I read the more impressed I am by these stories.
This particular book was very enjoyable.

Don't know what to do with myself now that I finished this, this was the last book (for now)? I hugely enjoyed the ride.

This is the 10th and next to last book in the Whyborne & Griffin series - come for the gay romance, stay for the cozy horror adventures. And I mean this, because the romance is pretty much solved and nowhere near bumpy anymore, so what you get is cool people saving the world together from all sorts of mad paranormal threats.
When I started reading this, I realized I'd missed the horrible, quirky murder town of Widdershins, with its cult of librarians, museum designed by a mad architect, tentacled sea people who sometimes take human wives and husbands, and, lately, friendly demonic horrors. It was almost a pity that the adventuring took them all the way to Cornwall this time, where the ancestral home of the Endicott clan seems to be in some sort of trouble, cut off from the rest of the world and probably under the control of those who want to hand the world on a silver platter to otherworldly abominations.
You can feel the series is slowly heading towards the end - things are starting to get resolved one way or another, and you can feel the tension in the air. Even so, there are a couple of surprises and twists left as the story spirals up towards the great finale.
