Afterlife by Claudia Gray
3.0
A few reasons why I didn't think this book was all that and a bag of chips...
It didn't feel like the final book in the series. It didn't have that air of finality that [b:Last Sacrifice|6527740|Last Sacrifice (Vampire Academy, #6)|Richelle Mead|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1311706040s/6527740.jpg|13385418] or [b:Mockingjay|7260188|Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3)|Suzanne Collins|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1294615552s/7260188.jpg|8812783] (and yes, I understand that they are all different books to compare).
None of the characters changed much during the course of 4 books. And I'm not talking about their undead (or lack thereof) state. Character development is pivotal if you're writing a series. I don't care how long or short said series is.
I felt like Claudia Gray threw too many things into this book. I could barely keep up with the shockers. She really should have had an additional book.
I still enjoyed this series. It's one of my favorite Paranormal YAs. 3 out of 4 isn't so bad on the grand scheme of things.
