The final installment in this brilliant adventure of our Penton Vamps trying to overcome the blood pandemic. I am really going to miss these guys esp Mr Kinkaid!

This final version was a really good tie up, although the story reverberates around Nic we get POV's from all our fave oldies.

Cant say much in the review as it will ruin the story, lets just say despicable methods are thought of to overcome the pandemic, In come the Penton Possy as the proverbial white knights.

This book i felt took on a darker edge than the others but still brilliant....

Nick and Shay got a second chance

I love this series but I wish this last book didn’t come years after the last one. The events are so connected that I had to work to recall essential details.

At the end of last book, Aiden and the Penton Legacy residents barely escaped the devastating attack by the ruthless vampire Frank. They are still recovering and trying to rebuild when Frank resurfaced with yet another scheme to aid vampires in subjugating both the supernatural as well as the human citizens of the US.

This time, a new leader Nick Dimitru, emerged to guide when Aiden was still vulnerable. Nick was one of the new hybrids, shifter and vampire, so his strengths are still being figured out.Nick represented Aiden in a meeting and soon was front and center in this renewed fight with Frank.

Frank had begun a program where he was trying to breed super vampires and their first test subject was Shay Underwood who was kidnapped and impregnated. But she was no wilting flower. She was not going to be a willing participant her in this war. She fights back and soon Nick is there for the rescue.

I won’t tell you the rest but this battle was not an easy one. I was hoping the author would do more with Penton and the Omega series (spin-off) but it doesn’t look like it.
Either way, she wrapped up the series with the good guys prevailing.

I don't think this was the strongest one in the series, but then it's been 3 years since the last one and I may have just become a bit more distanced from the world than I had been.

Even so, it was nice of the author to return to the series to tie up the loose ends.
