Great finish for the Shifters of Sherwood series. Now that I've read the whole story and can see it from a Birdseye view, the editor in me wanted to move story points around, expand on others, etc. So here I'm reviewing the whole series now as a continuous story.
My first thought was this 4 book series should have been a duet. All four books were too short and would have been great as Books 1&2 = Book 1 and Books 3&4 = Book 2.
The spice was inconsistent. It started off with so much spice, it was like a smut book first, and a modern fantasy second. By the end of the series, it was practically a closed door. And a seed was planted that maybe something might be going down with Will and Rob? But what happened there? The plot point didn't "die", it just seemed insignificant and I didn't want it to be. Easily could have added 100 pages in the last book just opening that door and expanding on the tension between Will and Rob. And even giving Zayn and Nick more pages.
I kinda wanted to see more of the drunk girls at the bar. I loved the idea of giving Maren some girlfriends but that plot point died too.
In the end, the magic didn't matter too, which kind of frustrated me. The whole series they were being hunted for their abilities, and they were researching the origins of their abilities, but the guys who were after them didn't care. I still don't understand what they wanted with Maren then. And since that was apparently the end of their enemies, that was the end of their interest in their roots. No! I wanted more! I want to see this stuff come full circle.
It was entertaining and I've enjoyed the whole series, I just feel like I missed a whole book somewhere.
Book: ⭐⭐⭐.5
