And Adrian thought he had moved on from his past, but he soon learns that the darkness within him is still very much a part of who he is\u2026 and he\u2019s going to need it.<\/p>\n<p>In the battle between good and evil, their fate has been decided. Will their epic, undying love be enough to save them?<\/p>\n<p>While I have found this series a little underwhelming compared to Frost\u2019s other paranormal series, I did enjoy this final book. There is excitement, action and drama, it moves really quickly with rarely a dull moment, and the romance is strong, sexy and seriously swoony. I was swept up in this final instalment, and loved seeing the story come to its thrilling end.<\/p>\n<p>I do wish there was just a little bit more though. This book ended a bit abruptly, and I would have loved an epilogue, but at least it was a happy ending, and I like that Ivy and Adrian got their HEA (just wish we could have seen a bit of it).<\/p>\n<p>3.5 stars<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Broken Destiny<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div data-post-id=\"63472\" class=\"insert-page insert-page-63472 \"><p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
