Thirteen by Kelley Armstrong

5.0

I stretched this one out as long as I possibly could, but in the end I just couldn't put it down! This is the absolute most perfect ending to this series I can imagine, and of course, it's nothing like I thought it was going to be! It's so nice being surprised; especially in the thirteenth book of a series. I've always hoped Savannah would get her own book and I was thrilled to hear she'd get three. I think having her as the narrator really emphasizes how this group of people has grown together. The inclusion of two or three chapters in all of the major former narrators' points-of-view in [b:Thirteen|1217100|Thirteen Reasons Why|Jay Asher|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1333822506s/1217100.jpg|2588213] was perfect. It was a great way to send them off without wresting control from Savannah. I just have to remind myself that this is "goodbye for now" not "goodbye for forever" and to think of how much I'm looking forward to [b:Forbidden|7600924|Forbidden|Tabitha Suzuma|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1302655056s/7600924.jpg|10018976] in December.

Thank you, [a:Kelley Armstrong|7581|Kelley Armstrong|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1199068298p2/7581.jpg], for years of enjoyment and the friends I've made in your characters; I'm sad to see them go, but glad they were sent off with a bang! I foresee many years of re-reading this series in the future, and of discovering new favorite characters in your forthcoming projects (and maybe a little Adam/Savannah short story in there somewhere, too? :)).
