Brimstone Nightmares by Kel Carpenter

jlaynereads's review against another edition

5.0

What a wrap up to this 4 book series! There was drama, excitement, heartbreak, romantic endeavors and action ... oh and an immortal Trash Panda!

Ruby, Moira, Bandit and the Four Horseman embark on the Wild Ride to get her to the Sins, pass their tests and help her ascend to the Throne of Hell. The journey to become Queen of The Damned is fraught with perils, loss and near madness for most of the Cast of Characters! You even get to see a possible villain become an anti-hero.

This is a well written series with an expertly crafted world and characters that jump off the page. I truly wish there was more to come!

 This book was fine, but it didn’t make up for what happened in the previous book. 

Ruby was fine, but a lot of the things that happened were written in a dramatic way. I liked Laran (his connection with Bandit was great too) and Allistair, but I thought that they weren’t shown enough. Julian was fine at the beginning of this series, but I didn’t like him after the binding, especially since he doesn’t do anything to make up for that, although he doesn’t really have time for that in this book. I don’t know what it was exactly, but I just didn’t care about Rysten. 

I didn’t really like the plot, although I liked the solution Ruby came up with. I didn’t like how the things that were happening were written as it was dramatic. The other thing that bothered me was that the powers the different demons had weren’t defined, so it felt like you knew what powers they had until something happens and suddenly, they also have another power. For example, Sinumpa’s powers seemed to be never ending and it seemed like she could do anything. 

The Sins’ identities were interesting and unexpected, although their characters weren’t fully developed. 

I liked the last chapter because it was told from Bandit’s POV, so it was interesting and different to read. 

This series started off well, as I really liked the first two books and it seemed like the third book would be even better, but then things went downhill, and this book didn’t fix that.

Just kinda meh

I didn't love this one. It didn't keep my attention as the previous 2. I think I was hoping for a happier ending and it seems like there are still loose ends which bothers me. I overall didn't hate it. The book just fell flat for me.

What a glorious ending. It was a bit much with the history info dumping, but all the loose ends did tie up pretty cleanly. I just want my own story on the trash panda Bandit, the Cerberus Fate, and

their adorable mischievous triplets.
