4.0

This has been a non-stop, action-packed, thrill-a-minute series from the first book, and the drama and suspense maintained all the way to the final page of this final book in the trilogy. I have loved every moment of it!!

The world-building in this series has been excellent, with diverse paranormal species, exciting paranormal abilities, and wonderfully flawed-but-relatable characters. I particularly love that the female characters in our merry band are just as - if not more so - kick-ass and capable as the men!

All the characters here are unique and interesting, as well as batshit crazy, which just makes the whole book that much more fun! The drama and danger these people are facing does not deter them for a second from throwing themselves wholeheartedly into the fray at every possible opportunity, no matter how hopeless things might seem. It makes for a ton of fun for the reader.

I also love the interactions between the characters, and how their inter-connections have grown and developed as the trilogy has played out. The ending was thoroughly satisfying from my perspective and I walked away very happy with how we said farewell to these characters.

An overall terrific trilogy which I highly recommend to paranormal fiction/suspense readers.
