Spice: 1/5 (don't worry it is basically fade to black)
So when I found out this book was going back to the Shadow Realm I was instantly excited. Given what we found out happened in the Shadow Realm with Hudson and Grace and who was left there I knew it was part of their story I couldn't pass up. I will say that I didn't love this particular book as much as I did the rest of the books but I did still enjoy it. It had all of the usual Grace and Hudson banter as well as the Hudson and Jaxon banter that drew me into the series, to begin with. However, it also has some tension between Jaxon and Flint that I was completely wrapped up in the entire book as well as some added tension between a couple of other side characters.
In fact, we get to see quite a few of our favorite characters from the previous books make a repeat appearance in this part of the story. We also get to see some new characters and learn more about some of the ones we've only seen small glimpses of so far. There are a lot of laughs, a quite comical concert experience, moments of vulnerability that will have you choking back a few tears, and a story that wraps up all of these characters we've grown to love these last few years in one big happy ending. While this book did not necessarily blow me away as the ones before it did it was still an excellent way to wrap up their series and I can understand why it was written in the order it was. As for the audio well it was as good as the rest of them were. I've always loved the voices this narrator gives to all of the characters especially Hudson's. And you do get a small moment from Hudson's point of view at the end voiced by Liam Price. I'm still not a big fan of his female voices but it's always a bonus when we get a Hudson chapter regardless.
