Fifth a Fury by Pepper Winters
4.0
ARC received from Next Step PR
The long awaited conclusion! I went back and forth on enjoying this one. All in all, a very appropriate ending. I was surprised with how quick the Drake stuff got fixed, but loved the creative ways he was taken down. Since he was “so evil”, I almost wish this took up more of the story though. Then there was such a lull in the book for half of it. On one hand, I enjoy how realistic it all was. Considering the damages done, I would be angry if all was fine with him so soon after. This part also gave way for Cal and Elanor to make arrangements with his company and assets. What I didn’t enjoy was the detail it went on about. Considering the lack of changes for half the book, I feel that a time jump would have been perfect here. Even a couple of time jumps, so the important stuff in between is included. I found myself very bored in many parts of this one.
How the crazy story was concluded is very appropriate though. Without giving much away, I can confirm it is an ETA that even features characters from previous stories. I especially loved the ending Jess and Cal got and would love a novella from them. Jess mentions Cal’s sexual preferences, so I suspect a steamy novella would be a great addition to the story. We could also get more insight into how her wounds have permanently affected her.
As such, I give this book officially 4.5 stars. For a series conclusion, I wish it was a bit more engaging. Can’t wait to see what is next from this author
