The Judgment

The Impact Series

by C.K. Westbrook

Kate thought the world was finally safe from Rex and the powerful, terrifying others — but was it?


Working together, Kate Stellute, Sinclair, Jo-Ellen, and Rex successfully implemented a risky plan to make space safer for everyone and everything. Kate hoped the others would accept the results and stay away. But when she learns the details of why Rex caused a global mass shooting, she realizes their plan may not have worked after all.


Rex suggests a way to protect Kate and her loved ones if the others decide to destroy what is left of humankind, but can Kate trust the violent alien that has already killed millions of people? If she wants to prevent more violence, Kate will need a new plan and new allies if she is to find a way to save the human race from more extraterrestrial wrath.

Much more readable than the first two books, but not by much. The ending was so abrupt...I'm not sure anything was really resolved. 10/10, would never read again

[Chelsea Henderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

The perfect ending to an intense, fast-paced series that both makes you think about the world around us and let's you lose yourself in the characters and the realistic challenges they face. If you have read the previous two, pick back up with Kate, Sinclair, and your other favorite characters from The Impact Series! Or start from the beginning and binge read all three! You won't be sorry.

The Judgment is a gripping continuation of the Impact Series that blends fast-paced action with thought-provoking moral dilemmas. CK Westbrook masterfully heightens the tension as Kate wrestles with impossible choices, balancing trust, sacrifice, and survival on a galactic scale. What makes this story stand out is not only the alien intrigue but also the deeply human struggles at its core. A compelling and emotional read that lingers long after the last page.

This series has been an interesting ride. You can feel the authors passions, worry, and institutional knowledge play through the characters as the story progresses. While it feels a bit implausible to convince the people in charge to change their ways based on the words of one random person, it is nice to dream.

I will say I feel like a lot of possibilities were wasted with the vial scene. It feels like more words are committed to debate gs pay grade then what was in the gift.

Really enjoyed this entry in The Impact series, it worked well with the other entries in this series. The characters were what I was hoping for. It left me wanting to read more in this universe.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Suspenseful sci-fi

I love this story and think it’s the perfect end to The Impact Series, for now anyway. I can’t write anything else for fear of giving away too much. I will add that I hope people enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

A great read with twists that I didn’t see coming. This final chapter offers up an aspirational ending from the tragedy of the first book. Great ending to a fantastic series!

The Judgement, Impact series maybe fiction but, it was filled with so many environmental and worldwide issues that we face today. CK Westbrook kept the series current and showed female empowerment.

Finally

Full of twists and turns and entertaining to read. Didn’t like the long wait between books, but ultimately worth it.

[Lydia Gomez · Rating 5 out of 5]

This gripping sci-fi thriller raises the stakes from the very first page, delivering a tense continuation of Kate Stellute’s fight to protect humanity. Just when it seems the world might finally be safe from Rex and the other powerful extraterrestrials, the story pulls the rug out from under both Kate and the reader. The lingering question was their risky plan ever truly enough? drives the narrative with constant suspense.
