Since I absolutely loved the first two volumes, I could hardly wait to finally read the third and final installment. I was so eager to find out how things would turn out for Joan, Nick, Aaron, and all the other characters. And once again, I was not disappointed in the slightest.

For me, the book was gripping right from the very beginning, instantly pulling me back into the story so completely that I devoured it in no time. Because it picks up seamlessly where the second book left off, it definitely helps not to let too much time pass between volumes. It’s useful to still remember as many details as possible, even though the most important points from the previous books are briefly recapped throughout the story.

What I especially loved were the many surprising plot twists and the heart-wrenching moments that made the story so emotional. I was amazed at how cleverly everything was woven together, and how in the end even the smallest details somehow made sense. I didn’t see the ending coming at all, but I really enjoyed it, even though opinions might differ here.

I can wholeheartedly recommend the entire series—it has definitely become one of my all-time favorites!

Thank you to HarperCollins for the review copy provided via NetGalley. My opinion was not influenced by this in any way.

Ich habe bis jetzt vier von den sechs Teilen der Never After Reihe gelesen und ich muss sagen, dass Hexed bis jetzt mit Abstand mein liebster Teil war.
Was ich direkt am Anfang schon toll fand war, dass die Rollen hier mal getauscht waren und eher Venesa die "gefährliche" Person war. Obwohl Enzo definitiv auch nicht zu unterschätzen ist. Venesa war eine richtig starke und selbstbewusste Protagonistin, die viel einstecken musste im Leben und trotzdem ein guter Mensch geblieben ist. Sie und Enzo waren ein tolles Paar und ich habe die Spannung zwischen den beiden von Anfang an gespürt und geliebt. Besonders da wir hier als Trope Forbidden Love haben.
Das Buch wäre für mich sogar ein 5⭐️ Buch, wenn das Ende nicht dann doch etwas zu wild und chaotisch für meinen Geschmack gewesen wäre. Dennoch absolut empfehlenswert und für mich wahrscheinlich der beste Band der Reihe.

Vielen Dank an den Piper Verlag für das Rezensionsexemplar über Netgalley. Meine Meinung wurde hierdurch nicht beeinflusst.
