I have not been this obsessed with a series since Twilight.
These books were an adventure.
It was exciting and terrifying at times.
They made me think of my first crush and my first love,
and the friends I can't live without.
But they also highlighted real issues:
Mental health, addiction, anxiety, abuse, human trafficking.
No vampires or werewolves (although I will always love them). These books had scarier monsters.
People you should be able to trust letting you down, hurting you, hurting others.
That kind of villain is worse.

Such a wholesome ending!! I loved the Everbeach series and see each character grow into young adults.
All my lingering questions were finally answered - thank you Dominique and Sorboni!
The major twists at the end had threw me for a loop! I was on the edge of my seat until the every last page.
Maybe we can have a prequel that focuses on Penny?!

Such a great ending!!!! What a great way to wrap up everyone’s stories! I also love that the parents had their own roles in the mystery and those were revealed in this book as well—parents I didn’t think had critical parts in the mystery! So that was such a cool element beyond the compelling romances and thrilling adventure.

This book, the final book in the Everbeach series, is a solid 4.5 along with the series as a whole.
I need to write a longer review in the future because there is so much to love about this new series.

Plot twists, plot twists, plot twists!! I couldn't put down the thrilling conclusion to the Everbeach series! The girls' relentless search for truth and justice ends in the search for and revelation of the true villain! Not only are the main voices (Elle and Raven in this book) present but all the girls' POVs appear in the book which I really loved! We get to see how much not only the teens but the people around them have grown and changed over the course of the series ❤️ And of course, how each of their relationships develop with the boys! I loved this series, it's unique and well written and I strongly recommend it!!

We’ve made it to the last book in the Everbeach series! In this volume, the reader gets the perspective of Elle, Aarya, Raven, and Dawn, all of the girls in the group we’ve been getting to know throughout the series. It was especially nice to get Raven’s POV again, which hasn’t been present since the first book.
With big revelations, romantic tensions, and high stakes, the last Everbeach book delivers in wrapping up all of the threads from previous books in satisfying ways. I loved all of the happy endings!
Thanks again to Wise Wolf Books for the eARCs of The Clock Strikes, A Deadly Sleep, A Stolen Voice, and Red as Blood. They were right up my alley and I really enjoyed them!
