Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

4.5 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

Wow, what an ending! After what I thought was the ending at book #4, Erica Stevens continued this series on with three more books, and though it\u2019s taken me a while to get to them, I loved getting the opportunity to dive back into this series that I love so much, and this book has finished it on a really high note. With action, adventure, heartbreak and romance, this book brought all the feels and I finished it with a huge smile on my face.<\/p>\n

Without giving away spoilers, this book picks up shortly after the last one finished. Braith and Aria are reunited with their friends and family, and all of them preparing to take down the newest \u2013 and possibly most dangerous \u2013 threat to the world that they have fought so hard to build. Our beloved characters face danger, violence and devastating loss as they are split up in varying missions to rally the troops, fight, protect and defend as they gear up for the final battle.<\/p>\n

And for the first time, this book is written in multiple POV, allowing us to see everything that is going on, and I loved getting inside everybody\u2019s heads! Not only so that we get a complete view of the action, adding lots of layers and excitement to the story, but just to be so close to these characters that I have followed and loved through seven books. Not just Braith and Aria, but Jack, William, Melinda, Daniel and even Max! So, so good!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s exciting, but it\u2019s also very emotional as the group are forced to face more loss, and we feel it all with them. I had tears streaming down my face and my heart ached, but it\u2019s war, and we can\u2019t expect it to be all happy all the time. I loved the way the story played out and that epilogue healed me completely as we get a glimpse into the future to see everybody living their HEAs \u2013 including a wedding and lots of babies. Hooray!<\/p>\n

I have loved this series so much, and this is a wonderful end to the story that began in The Captive<\/i>. Erica Stevens has given us an exciting paranormal adventure with lots of emotion and more than one beautifully intense romance, and I look forward to many rereads in the future.<\/p>\n

4.5 stars!<\/p>\n

Note \u2013 I listened to this one as an audiobook, and the narration by Luci Christian is fantastic. Definitely a great one to listen to!<\/p>\n
