1.5 Beast and Laurent are terrible, and terrible for each other.
Only this up because I heard there were epilogues for the the other couples at the end but they were extremely short and so not worth it :’) I just wanted more Grey and Shadow

Five absolutely brilliant totally mind-blowing can't believe that plot twist out of nowhere no idea how I'm going to review this stars!
Well, that was a total riot and I had no clue just how the Merikans were going to wrap up a series which has seen pacts made with Baal, Shadows come to life, a time travelling Frenchman, ghosts and people brought back from the dead. Oh and gargoyles!
This series is unique. A motorcycle club like no other and everything about it is utterly brilliant. This concluding episode throws a surprise right at the end and I for one can't wait to see where that spin-off series takes the Kings of Hell MC and their former demonically possessed clubhouse.
Laurent is still adorable and infuriating, Beast is still overly possessive and loveable, Knight and Elliott are still off in their own ghost hunting world, Vars and Jake are still Daddy/boy and Gray and Shadow remain my favourite couple of all.
I can't go into what happens in this book, it would spoil the jaw-dropping wft-ery of everything that unfolds as the plot becomes ever more twisty and complex, but I'm more than happy with the way the narrative concluded.
As for the epilogues, they were a perfect way to draw the reader in for where the story is going next and all I can say is bring it ladies! because I cannot wait.
#ARC kindly received from the authors in return for an honest and unbiased review. Flailing, fangirling and general OMG-ing is all my own work.

I do love this series but I am not a fan of series that are primarily romance but don't change the main couple every book. I don't really wanna see what happens after the HEA. I know that sounds kind of heartless of me but I just find it tedious. 😛 The ONLY exception is [b:Guns n' Boys|30357450|Guns n' Boys He Is Poison (Guns n' Boys, #1)|K.A. Merikan|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1465163637s/30357450.jpg|42021295]. Also, in this case, I just don't like Beast and Laurent. I know everyone else loves them but I just don't. I find Beast mean and Laurent ignorant and they fight too much.
But besides that I do love this series and its world, and I am really excited for the spin-off series!

What an unexpected ride.
By the end of Gray's Shadow I didn't know what to expect for the last book and ending of this series.
There were so many questions and to be honest, I didn't even know what was Ba'als purpose so I was so curious about this book, it had too much pressure to deliver answers and a satisfying conclusion and you know what?
They did it, Kat and Agnes gave us everything.
Every question I had from how every started to what was the purpose was answered.
But you know what my favorite part of this book was? The punch in the face of what this series was about.
Yes, the Kings of Hell and mostly, our precious boy Laurent.
But not really?
To me at least, this story was about Jasper.
Jasper who when I first met thought would be killed soon or end up being a bad guy.
Jasper who learned so much from meeting these men.
And Jasper who gave us a spin-off *wink wink*
I cannot stress enough how good this book is, how Kat and Agnes set this story with so many things happening and they all had purpose.
There was a really good development between Laurent and Beast's relationship, they are no longer the confused character we met 4 books ago, they needed to mature as individuals and as a married couple, which can be difficult when you are not on the same page in life but they managed.
I loved the way K.A portrayed some of Laurent's beliefs due to the fact that he is not from this time and people schooling him! Like yeah no bunny, we love you but don't say offensive nonsense.
Seeing Laurent learning about the dangers of plastic and deciding that maybe his affair needed to end was character development right there xD
One of my favorite things to read was Gray and Shadow just being together, too cute.
I also deeply appreciated were this book started as it really gave us more insight on what was happening at the end of book 4.
Knight, oh my boy, I have to confess that although I love him he is not one of my favorites so I just didn't really think of what this book might have in store for him but this man, holy shit! He is a dick and goof but has a huge heart and can even be wise.
I really hope we get to see more of him and Elliot in the spin off.
Even though there is a spin off and you do have questions by the end of the book, these are more of a fan wanting more and not getting enough. The series is over and complete and what satisfying end did it had.
We got our happy and epilogue and our boys are safe now.. right?
I am so grateful to Kat and Agnes for delivering this series packed with craziness, hotness but so much heart.
In the end, it was all about loving someone more than yourself.

What the heck.
WHAT THE HECK I JUST READ.
This is the WORST book in this series. Honestly, it was so bad, I was so close to DNF.
I loved Laurent in book one. He was so sweet. I didn't really like him in book four. And in this book I couldn't stand him.
I know he is young. I know that he still has a mindset from 1800s. I know that he is still learning.
But he made such a HUGE decision without consulting Beast and for me it's a big NO.
This book also proved that Laurent and Beast have the worst relationship. Yeah, they are trying, sometimes, but still. I didn't like it at all.
The other thing is the plot. It's the last book in the series, and it was... Boring. It focused on their relationship drama.
The ending was boring as well, but well, at least Joker is dead, and I hated him the most.
The epliogues were meh as well.
The only thing I liked was Gray and Shadow moving out.
I am not going to read the spin off and I am never going to read anything else written by these authors. I have learnt my lesson.
Plus, this book really needs a better proof reader.
