Part 3 of the three part series finale, starring Savannah.
This was pretty intense. A bunch of things that shouldn't be possible were happening. I got sucked into the story, but the last 130 pages seemed a little anticlimactic compared to the rest of the book.
I would have liked to see more from Lucas and Paige in the three part finale. It seems odd to me that they basically became background characters. They seemed so much more skilled and important than that before.
The chapter style was different for this one. It swapped between characters a few times. I didn't mind it, but I kind of wish the other 2 books in the finale had done the same. With all the characters coming together for one huge adventure, it just makes sense that they would all have that.

I'm always nervous before reading a final book in a series. You never know if it's going to be a great wrap up or just leave you wanting more. Thankfully, this one turned out to be very good. We got to see all the main characters one last time, and while Savannah was the main narrator, we also get chapters from Paige, Elena, Jamie, and Eve's points of view. The action was very fast paced and I had a hard time putting the book down. All in all, it was a very satisfying end to the series.
This is a brilliant end to the Otherworld series pulling together all of the character threads that have developed over the previous 12 books into a tense, gripping, and at times amusing story where scores are settled, new scores are tallied, and everyone finds themselves facing their own demons (both actual and metaphorical). Even Savannah faces up to a few home truths and comes through the other side a less annoying person than she had become (I realise I may be alone in this but there we are).

8/8: OMG It came!!! Yay Yay I am excited!!!
I have mixed feelings about this one. This isn't so much a review, but more my random thoughts about the book and series.
This book was to short for my liking. I wanted it to be like 800 pages long. hehe I felt certain situations were rushed. But that could have been because I was reading it so fast.
Right from the get go I loved this series. I have enjoyed pretty much every book. But as soon as the end game started in book 12 I think (for me) it went a bit down hill. But don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed the story but it was not as amazing as I thought it would be. I thought that there would be more emotion in 13. I actually thought there would be many tears. I possibly built it up so big in my head, that it fell flat for me. I almost didn't want to read it because I was so nervous of what would happen. I didn't want anyone to die. I had a hard time getting into it. But it hit a certain point. (I think when Adam and Savannah finally got to see each other and work together) that it picked up for me.
I think that if you read Waking the witch, Spellbound and 13 all together (not months apart) it would be a more enjoyable end of a series. But because I felt lost at times in trying to remember what was happening with the bad guys it didn't flow as nicely.
But reading 13 (especially reading the prologue to Bitten at the beginning) reminds me how much I love these characters. I enjoyed the chapters that were from other characters POV's.
I had trouble in the beginning when Eve was back. I had trouble at times not knowing if Savannah was talking or Eve was. I guess that is because they are mother and daughter. They are meant to be so a like. I was touched when they got to see each other and spend time with each other face to face. I was able to relate with having lost my mother at about the same age Savannah did. I would give anything it that was something possible to happen to me. Another moment that I loved was when Paige and Savannah me up again and paige realised how much Savannah has grown up but still needs her. There was a huge built up of sexual tension between Adam and Savannah that fell a bit short when they finally got together. That is what I think was missing in the last few books was the romance that Kelley Armstrong writes so well. And the detective element that always made the story flow.
And I have to say... It is so NOT the end, maybe for now. But there are still so many questions still not answered and so many characters that deserve there own books. Cassandra and Aaron and Nick. I have always wanted a book from his POV. Yes, I know there will be short stories, but I want full length novels. hehe So I have decided that this is not the last book it is just on hold for a while.
Thank you Kelley Armstrong for writing an amazing series. I love all your works and I look forward to what you write in the future.
Well that is my thoughts for now. I may add to it as I think about it some more.

Wow wow WOW!
It is sad and nice to read the last book of this series. This was a series I picked up years back and always have been a safe haven to return to. I loved reading and re-reading this books. So its both sad and wonderfull to come to the end.
But I have to take a little break. The first half of this book was so action packed! wow!

blah... it was nice seeing some of our favorite characters of the series, but I found myself bored with all the politics.
