Banishing the Dark by Jenn Bennett

5.0

So I've been putting off reading this book because I just wasn't ready for the series to be over. I wasn't ready to say goodbye to Cady, Lon & Jupe. Unlike a lot of series that run out of gas, this one being over in 4 books felt perfect, a little too short but mainly that's due to wanting to spend more time with the characters, the story was completely wrapped up.

It's hard to review this one without series spoilers. I'll just say that this book picks up not long after the major events of the 3rd book. The showdown between Cady and you know who is coming and I love that Cady & Lon continue their strong relationship even with the curveballs thrown at them here. We also get some of Jupe's POV and that was great.

I recommend this series all the time for UF readers who like a little romance in their stories. Cady and Lon are a great couple and the family that they form with Jupe makes me so happy when I'm reading. And by the time I got to the epilogue I had both a grin and some tears (happy tears).
