*sigh* Very pleased and happy with this conclusion. Even if it was not what I was expecting! Most importantly I am excited to no longer be bound to this series.
I was both excited and sad to start this book, it was harder to say goodbye to this series than I thought it would be. I enjoyed being sucked into the world of Shadow Falls and even though I know things will continue with Della’s story it won’t be the same.
We start off about two weeks after where we left off in book 4. Kylie is now at her Grandfathers compound with not only him and her great aunt but other chameleons like her. Even though she is glad to be learning about what she is, she doesn’t feel like she fits in the way she did at Shadow Falls, oddly enough. With Mario on the loose it doesn’t take long for Burnett to drag Kylie back there. Not that she goes kicking and screaming.
I was worried about how the love triangle situation was going to play out in this book and was pleasantly surprised by it. After everything with Whispers at Moonrise, if Kylie was still ping ponging between the two boys, I was going to be ticked. She doesn’t however and that doesn’t mean she instantly get with Derek or Lucas. She has some personal issues to work out before she makes a final decision.
Derek was not annoying! I was so frustrated with him in the last book that I thought I would never like him again but he acted more like he did in the first book, which made me enjoy his character again. Being Team Derek has never been in the cards for me but at least now I don’t want him to disappear on a FRU mission.
I still love Lucas and even though he hasn’t been perfect through the series he always manages to redeem himself. He doesn’t give up on Kylie even if he thinks she will never talk to him again. He never stops trying to apologize or get through to her. He is still a hot head but you can see him trying to rein it in for her. He also does a lot better with the ghost this time around. It’s not that he is ever going to be comfortable with them but he finds a way to deal. He is more attentive in the book when Kylie lets him be too. I don’t know how to explain Lucas except that he definitely has book boyfriend status with me.
I love the ghost that Kylie has encountered in her journey. They have all had something do to with her “quest”, which Holiday reiterates that it’s common for the ghost to have a connection to the person they are contacting. The ghost in this book is by far my favorite, and is also the first hell bound spirit that we meet. She walks around swinging a sword and carrying severed heads in order to get Kylie’s attention. I can’t help laughing at it when she does it while standing behind Kylie’s grandfather at the dinner table. This ghost is not as confused as the other ones either, so she is not as frustrating.
There are definite side characters that I would love to see novellas or spin-offs for. Of course Della, which is already in the works and you can read her first story in Saved at Sunrise. I felt like I want to know more about Jenny and Clara though. Jenny is another teenager chameleon from the compound and Clara is Lucas’s half-sister. They are both characters that only get some minimal time in the book but in a way it makes them more appealing to me to learn about them. I still love Perry and Miranda; they win my award for Shadow Falls cutest quirkiest couple. With a new school year starting there is some rivalry for Perry’s affection and Miranda handles, well Miranda style. I’m a big fan of Hayden too; he is another character that is really interesting to me because he is so laid back and aloof. Ahh see I’m sad the series is ending I want more interaction with the characters!
Being the final book we do tie up the loose ends of Kylie’s adventures. All family members found and evil doers exposed. I was happy with the ending, although the battle at the end isn’t as all out as it could be but I was fine with it. I don’t really feel like the series was just about a villain, it was more about Kylie learning about herself. Dealing with the supernatural world prejudices. I was satisfied with the ending and like I keep saying sad to see Lucas’s story, I mean Kylie’s story come to an end. :o)

Great book, until the end. I expected so much more. So disappointing.
i still love the whole world that C.C. Hunter created, but there was so much stuff that was able to be resolved in a different way, Super anti-climatic last chapters.

This book was one of the best books out of the series, as the pages were counting down I was begining to freak out, I found myself putting down the book several times to see if I could find something to do with my time other than finishing this book, because I just didn't want it to end. Now it would be awesome if she did maybe one more book in the series like maybe one or two years later this is what happens down the road, but I don't think that is going to happen, though that would be cool because it would have Holiday and Burnett's baby in it.
Great ending to this series, I'm so happy how everything turned out! Great book with great characters and a great plot! Definitely recommend it!
I really loved this book, but it loses two stars for that terrible ending. The build up to the climax was briliant and the ending just disappoint so much.
I cried for hours after reading this book. No joke. The next week after reading it I was in such a bad mood because the series was over. The ending was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! How her mom found out everything and how Trey ended up with Sarah and Derek with Jenny and KYLIE WITH LUCAS <3 <3 <3
I’d like to start off by saying I have a love-hate relationship with this series. Hopefully that will explaining my conflicting thoughts about this book and the series as a whole.
First, five books was TOO MANY. I felt like I was running in circles for 2,000 pages. Most of the time, I knew the answer to the questions halfway through the book and was waiting for the characters to catch up.
Second, the love triangle was torture. I mean, I'm a fan of love triangles, but the back and forth in this gave me whiplash. I was team Lucas from the start, and every time Derek popped up, I wanted to rip out my hair.
Third, the fight scene that I had been waiting for five books was ass. Not to be rude, but I expected more from a villain of Mario’s statute. Like come on, one blow to the back, and you're down. I wanted blood, fury, fierceness! What I got, whimpers.
Also, the writing was a lot less than mediocre; the lack of creativity when it came to expressing the characters' emotions bothered me more than I expected. There were also grammatical and selling errors. Also, the casual reference to a plantation house
