All I will say is holy bleeping bleep. There is no way I could possibly give a review of this book without feeling the urge to talk about my favourite parts.All I can say is that I am very pumped with how Heather Brewer wrote this series and the developments.

1/10. Terrible book to end a terrible series. I am so tired of the back and forth between whether Joss is a friend or a foe. Vlad is way too high and mighty with his morals. Nobody ever has an intelligent thought. Thomas coming back from the dead and then it turns out he was evil the whole time was so predictable and disappointing. Vlad killing his father was also predictable and ridiculous. They also fridged both of the women that are important to Vlad, even if Snow ended up coming back to life as a vampire. Killing Nelly was the last straw for me. She was literally only murdered so that Vlad would "have the strength and motivation" to kill his dad - that is literally textbook fridging. All of the important men survive. Also, the suspicion on Otis throughout the book is extremely annoying considering that Otis and Vlad's relationship to one another is one of the only parts of the series that I enjoyed. The only way that I could dislike this book more is if Otis or Henry had died.
