Trilogy of the Void #3
Hell Blade
And he lived happily ever after. For just the briefest time, Will Jern thought there could be a chance at the perfect fairy tale ending, but then he discovers that there is a stranger in his home and that his wife is being held captive by a witch bent on vengeance and who is desperately in need of a soul.
And she lived happily ever after. These are the words that Talitha Jern wishes to be applied to her headstone, but it will never happen. Heaven is for those whose hands aren't stained with the blood of loved ones, it's for those whose ears don't still ring with their screams. When her demon was banished back to the Void, it left behind the gift that keeps on giving: memories. Now Talitha can see herself as she murdered and maimed for all those years. And soon she can't tell which memories are of her making and which came from the demon, it's enough to drive a person crazy.
And they all lived happily ever after. Not for a moment did Katie Jern believe this; she knew her family was good and cursed. At the age of six, she saw the demon and peered with innocent eyes through the gate to Hell. They are innocent no more. They are guarded lest anyone can look past her perky features and see the raging paranoia beneath. But at least she gets the answer to the question that all paranoids ask: Am I paranoid enough?
Not nearly.

Can this get any more sad? Here I go again, I write a book and then I do my own review! For all you new authors, here is a list of things not to do:
1- Write a book and then review it yourself-(5 stars-yeah baby!)
2- Don't not send me money.
Thanks for all you who have read and supported the Trilogy of the Void.

Amazing conclusion to the trilogy. Hate to see it end!! Picks up where the last one left of and never lets up til the end. Have read all of Peter Meredith's books and they are all amazing. Look forward to more from him! Keep up the good work!!

Great series. Very indepth with characters that have you rooting for the good guys(except with Talitha you can't always tell who is good)

Out of this trilogy, this was the worst book. I read a book usually in 3 to 5 days. This one took me over a month. ( I read several in between) I love Peter Meridith, however this book was so painful to read and finish. It just went on and on about nothing! I was bored to death. Towards the end I found myself skimming through chapters just to get this over with. I absolutely hate leaving a bad review, however this book earned it. The first book was awesome. The second is where he starts to loose the plot. It’s to bad really because the concept was there, it was scary in the beginning with the demon possession and what hell is like. There was just too much repetition. Like he was looking to make a bigger book, when in my opinion, he made a bigger failure by doing so.

Hell hath all sorts of fury!!
I owed this rating/review after devouring these books awhile ago. This trilogy was written exactly as a trilogy should be! In this case, there are three phases you experience. The first, is the jaw-dropping "what fresh hell is this?!" The story starts to unfold, the characters display their painfully broken and sad stories then WHAM! Hello, freakish hellspawn! The second phase is full of migraines and suspense because you're now entering this disturbing state of hope that the end ain't too nigh for our beloved functionally-demonic hopeful hero and her brother, but things are getting mighty grim! Sweet closure comes along in the final installment and with all the activity of the preceding books there isn't a shortage of ends that need tying up. That's where this trilogy shines -- there are many authors that try to pull a flimsy thread and call it tied up, which is an awful thing to do readers. Not the case here. You're left with your heart halfway out your throat and that sense of satisfaction only common in roller coasters and great stories.

The story continues with the sudden emergence of Katie as a main character. She disappeared in book two but now she's back, and not in a way you'd expect. Like many of Peter Meredith's characters she is multi-dimensional, dual-faceted and able to kick ass when the chips are down. Of course Talitha and Will are back too, and just like the last book, they battle evil at the same time they are battling each other. It's right down to the wire for them and their exhaustion and pain is evident in the pages, but so too is their love.
The Trilogy of the Void has become my favorite trilogy of all time. The characters are deep, the emotions are real and thus overwhelming, and the themes of good and evil are refreshingly and painfully honest.

Great series
I spent a lot of time reading this trilogy and am giving the series a four out of five. With that said, book three seemed borderline teen/young adult fiction through the first half and the ending was disappointing and way too short as compared to the rest of the book.
I definitely didn't waste my time with this series.

Thoroughly enjoyable...
I love to read...just about anything & everything...but my attention span is short and if I don't immediately get into a book I won't finish it...no problem with Mr. Meredith's books. This series was great...loved the characters and the storyline carried throughout...thanks for a really good read...I'm off to find my next adventure ...

The Trilogy of the Void is one of the deepest sets of books I've read in a long time. Meredith takes a look into hell and its effect on people and it gave me hope. Thankful that Katei made a come back in this book. I missed her in number two.
