Oh, Alice... So happy there is a spinoff of Tom's adventures with the dark as a full-fledged Spook.

Ngl highkey skimmed. Story was fine for lil me -- same thing happened in different words/settings over the 13 books. Boring/redundant but I got the closure of finishing after 5 years and likely appeased my younger self so that's a yay.
After reading all the books after a series of several years, these were fun reads for me. However, I was dissappointed with this last book. In every book up until this one Alice had been a character who had good character development and her relationship with Tom was something I looked forward to growing. In the penultimate book, she risks everything for him, clearly they are in love. But when she switches sides in this book and is pretty much forgotten about, that felt like a cop out to me.
Maybe Delaney only had a contract for 13 books or something else impeded his continuation of the series. But it seems like he meant to have more. The whole Kabalos plot was lost on me. Why mention them at all if there's not going to be any development of the situation? And the fact John Gregory dies and there seems so little mentioned on his actual death or afterwards. I feel like the ending could have been an entirely different scenario. I love these books, but come on! It was reminiscent of the final Game of Thrones season.

You guys don’t need to give the author such a hard time, he just decided to change a couple things probably so people would want to read the follow-up trilogy, I was a bit disappointed with the ending at first but it was just a different approach to the story.
