From the Grave by Kresley Cole
5.0

This book just blew me away. Plain and simple. I have no words. I don’t think I’ve ever cried while reading a book as much as I did reading this one, during the last 50% it was just me sobbing and trying to read through the tears. Some of them sad, some of them happy.

From the Grave is the highly awaited finale of the Arcana Chronicles and I genuinely think Kresley did an amazing job wrapping up the series. I don’t want to say too much because it’s definitely a book you want to go in blind, there are so many good plot twists that I didn’t see coming and yet made so much sense. I think the whole book is absolutely brilliant.

Of course, it’s a series where characters have to kill each other to win a game, so losses are expected. A lot happens throughout. Again, I won’t say more, but Kresley didn’t pull any punches with this one and I loved it. It made me cry and it was brutal at times, but it also made sense considering the nature of the story. Plus, if you’ve read the other books (which you should since this isn’t a standalone) you know how Kresley can be, she isn’t afraid to make her readers cry and suffer…a little.

I know a lot of readers were afraid because this is the last book and they felt like so many things needed to be resolved, but I can confidently say that you shouldn’t be. Kresley is a master at her craft and she knows what she’s doing. Again, she blew me away.

As for the infamous love triangle, Aric or Jack, Jack or Aric? I guess you’ll need to read and find out!
