Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead

5.0

---

A star 5 ending to a 5 star series. Really blows the mind that all 6 books were perfect. A credit to the authors ability to write so captivatingly. This was a long book and really could have been two. The switching back and forth through the bond felt more clunky than in the prior books, but was a great tool to tell two tales that wound together into a great finale. I love seeing the difference it makes when an author plans out the story in point form before starting a series. All those little details became important and packed one hell of a punch. My romantic side is in pure heaven and though the happily ever after was a little contrived, just like Rose, I got everything I wanted. A really different take on the traditional YA Vampire Romance Thriller genre, or maybe not so much. It can't decide if I love this series because it's different, or because it's everything I want to read. I'll settle for both, and just be happy. I'm glad the series ended here. The story had been told. I can see potential for spin off stories, which I'm sure Richelle will master just as she did with transitioning us from High School to adulthood, a feat many fail to do smoothly (i.e. Gossip Girl).
