It was an okay series, I mean I read all three. (this one was audio read)

But the type of ending is just not something I'm a fan of, even when it comes to movies/tv.

After creating so much excitement in the previous novels, I thought the ending would be much more amazing. But it turned out to be too disappointing.
Two stars for the characters I fell in love with.

I absolutely love everything Darynda Jones writes. She has an awesome balance between humor and action. That being said, I will say I was a little surprised at the ending. I won't go into details because I hate when people give spoilers, but I was caught off guard. Still trying to decide if that's a good or bad thing. :)

I have some mixed feelings on this book so I was hard to rate. Because I love the author I decided to round up! It held my attention and I wanted to know what was going to happen so bad. This is the last book in the Trilogy.

Would you like some cheese with all that whine?

Woe is me. Thos book was annoying. it took the worst aspects of the previous two and made the finale around it.

"Lorelei McAlister has been sent off to a boarding school in Maine, leaving her family and hopefully protecting them by doing so. Unfortunately, Maine holds a surprise that will send her right back home. The more Lorelei is around the students, the more visions of death she sees, all by the same destructive storm: the end of the world. She will have to venture back home to her family, friends, and boyfriend, the Angel of Death, and fight the final battle to save the ones she loves."

I had a range of feelings while reading this, and I will do my best to explain why without spoilers. Of course since this is the last in a trilogy, this review could mention somethings from the previous two books but at this point it is unavoidable.

After deciding everyone would be better off without her, Lor is attempting to settle in at a boarding school, but not only does she not fit in, she has no one she can lean on when her visions assault her. And assault her they do. So at this point I am mad and confused. Mad at Lor and her grandparents for sending her away, and confused because Jared and Cameron can't find her. Really? But she is missing everyone, especially Jared, so she goes into the picture she has of him, and we find out there is something a little different about this picture.

Well after a series of somewhat predictable events, she goes home, with a new tag a long. I felt like the friend could have gotten some more face time, because I never felt like I got to know her. And when we get back home all of a sudden Jared is all over Lor - where at the end of the last book he was practically ignoring her? There was a sudden character change and I didn't see it.

Something else - and I LOVE Jared - I wanted to get to know him more. There were some things he said, especially near the end of the book, that were never really explained. We were left to draw our own conclusions and while I think I know what he means, I really wanted confirmation.

So being the end of the trilogy, of course the big confrontation takes place in this story. And that took a turn I wasn't expecting. At first it kind of mad me angry but as it went on I thought it was perfect.

All in all, I thought the whole trilogy was entertaining, though somewhat predictable and not life changing. But it was certainly worth the time I spent over the holidays being sucked into the world!

Really enjoyed reading this book for the 3rd time! I remembered how it ended, but it was so fantastic to read again!

*Second read July 13th, 2014*
Loved this book, and the ending, and yeah, just so freaking good, and there's hope for some short stories, in the series, or after, or maybe before! Yeah!

*First read October 16th, 2013*
Loved this book, the ending was a bit weird, all of a sudden, and at first felt to easy, beyond all the deaths, but the name, and then the opposite for Jared and Cameron's thing, so cute! And the ending, like the last scene, was really great!
