Let me start by saying I really enjoyed the other books in this series. In fact, that last one had me in begging desperation for this one and I scanned the webpages weekly for a publication date.
But I have to say I was disappointed. The writing quality is the same, the characters are the same, but the big pulling romance just twanged. In the last book we left Perdita and Nathan released from the curse. Supposedly, their obsessive connection had disappeared and we were given the impression that their love was the curse and nothing but the curse. However, in this book, from almost the beginning, we are disabused of this idea. The couple are still soulmates and as the book progresses it discloses Nathan's desperate feelings which made me ask 'Whaaa..?' when it came to the scene on the patio. Seriously? 'Could he do this?'
Why would he want to? Why would he even ask the question? That moment there, when I'd been desperate for more connection just destroyed the anticipation. Then, as a sucking counterpoint we get few measly paragraphs of togetherness.
Then, there is the big and we are left hanging once more.
Their connection, the compulsive adoration, the long looks and heart-wrenching avowals of affection made the books for me.
Also, and this is my final negative comment, the ending - talk about draggggggg. If you're going to have a long ending in a series like this please make it about the couple. We needed more. I needed more! Feeling seriously short-changed in the romance department. Perhaps if I'd left it a day before reviewing I'd have given it 4 stars, but I'm feeling glum and pouty.

The Evans pack is now larger than ever. Vin gets what he deserved. A few go to jail and everyone else gets to live a life that passes for normal, considering werewolves are part of their everyday lives.
The story was riveting and fast from the start. I had read the previous books, so I was hungry for what would happen next. As the story unfolded, I found myself yearning to turn the page. Great book. Read this book if sci-fi/fantasy is what you like.

I didn’t like this book as much as the previous ones because I was bored a couple of times, and I actually felt like this book was kind of pointless at times, because these things that happened could’ve been part of the second book instead of becoming it’s own book, and some of the events I could’ve done without.
But I did find it was interesting how Amelia discovered her abilities, and I liked that we got to discover them though her own pov, because that made better sense for me than through someone else's, but I’m a little disappointed it was only one chapter because I found it interesting. And speaking of Amelia I found it hard to believe that she turned 16 at the end of the book because I’ve always imagined her a few years older..
I’m glad that Pedita’s dad got better and was cured, and that he and Erin ended up fixing everything between them and even got a 10 month old baby boy in the end.
And I loved the epilogue because I love to have closure in books and especially when years have passed. Just so we get to know what has happened in the years following the events of the book.

I read the four books in this series in record time (for me)! I could NOT put the books down. Purity is the finale of the series and it's just...WOW!
Life has gone back to normal for Nathan and Perdita...but who's to say what 'normal' really is? They are both troubled and things can't really go back to the way they were before falling in love, fighting enemy werewolves, and each other. But they're trying. Until the enemy makes his final move and all hell breaks loose. I can't say more without giving away some juicy parts of the story...just read it!
I highly recommend this book. It kept my interest the entire distance and I thoroughly loved it!

I loved this series, I'm a huge sucker for vampire and werewolves book series. This series is in my top 5.
Vin got what he deserved, Nathan and perdy are together again and permentaly. The Evans pack for much bigger, perdys dad is now ok with everything she was trying to hide. I do recommend this series. I may reread this series in the future.

Amazing series!
This series was amazing! I literally couldn't put it down! If you like a good action/love drama about werewolves this book series is for you! I warn you, be ready to do nothing but read for a little while!

A fabulous end to a great series. Mind you, I want more. Apparently the Evans Pack feature in The Harbinger series, so I will have to pursue that.
I am shocked to find so many of Farrell’s books feature on the freebies list.

Perfectly cute ending to a very interesting and engaging series.

I decided to give this whole series a 3....but I’m not sure a 3 is where it should be maybe 2.8...? It just wasn’t a deep enough read maybe almost boring but not quite dnf boring.

Excellent conclusion
What a beautiful paranormal shifter romance with a wonderful ending. The story was spellbinding and I read the series straight through.

Satisfying
It ended well. I liked the epilogue especially since it spanned 4 years later. It wrapped up nicely and I was glad for the HEA.

I am kind of sorry that I finished the series so fast.

Yay
So a happy ending. So happy with how everything happened. Sad about Jakob but unfortunately I understand why it had to be that way. Happy for Nathan and Perdy.

Although it started off with everything seemingly in pieces, the end of the series wrapped up nicely!!

Satisfied
As much as I hate that this was the end of the series, I am very satisfied at how it ended. Very well written! Can't wait to read more from the author.

*sigh*
Still a good series. You always fine out the "whole* story in the end. If you love teen romance then this is the series for you.

Loved the end and the way the characters integrated... It raised our expectations and lived up to it... The ultimate end to a wonderful series...

So in this one we have the big fight. Get all the answers and we see how things work out in the end. I liked seeing Nathan and his family get out of the curse, find allies and helped to take Vin out. I like that even though the curse is over him and Perdita still get together and how even though they are they still do their own thing in life. I like how the wolfs start helping each other and become a community. It was a good story and easy to read.

To start off in the description it states "while nathan doesn't seem to recognise himself anymore" did not for one moment get that impression, ever. Not once, he was being the usual jerkness self he was when we started this whole issue.
I am sorry for Willow, there should be some back story for her because there isn't a lot of focus at all on her.
Ryan well Ryan annoyed me from book 2 with how he spoke at Nathan and spoke at Perdy. I use the words spoke at, because to implies there was some choice in them doing what he was saying or having any say in what he was badgering on about.
Perdy is pretty lost in most of this book she clings onto her new confident side a lot which is good she isn't afraid of being herself and telling Nathan and her dad to sod off. It takes her longer with her dad because he just pushes her to breaking point.
It is so sad what happens to Robert, I was hoping in the ending she would wrap him up in a neat little bow, but it is wrapped up but not neatly and there isn't a bow. Sadness.
Ryans ending is sweet, glad hes lightened up to be the great character I wanted him to be. Ryan is like my most favourite guy name to have a crush on in actual person. So I was already having crushes on his character no matter what, I was like please stop making him be mean.
Nathan and Perdy I am glad they are together sort of disappointed it isn't all and they get married and produce babies, but this is impossible or at least not approriate considering the ending is set in four years and they would only be 20? Or around 20 so it would be ok, but it makes the story better that they didn't do that.
The way her and her mum end is sort of disappointing, its like a non-starter really, makes me wonder was there a point in her being introduced? I had been hoping like I was with Tammie she was involved in these wolves. She isn't and therefore is a little bit of an extra in this story and isn't needed in anyway apart from being a page filler.
Tammie is pointless too, we have this side drama between her and joey throughout this seried and between her and Perdy and the gang and to me her reasons suck. I mean really in real life those reasons wouldn't be that OK. and in a book where it is fantasy, why wasn't she involved somehow? Its like the author thought about it and then realised in the 2nd book she didn't fit. So really she just acts like a brat for 3 books and ends up with an ending of "traveling" but Perdy is "jealous" yeah right love, Perdy is in love with this amazing guy remember and she has a cool family. *total sarcasm* I was pretty done by the end and it was late at night so I was getting to the point of a did not finish. Which would ruin my goal as a reader but there you go.
Really this series isn't that fab. It isn't the worst by any means. I wish the curse had been better, I wish there was more on Amelia being a romini witch werewolf. (yeah) and I wish that Perdy and Nathan's character developments were not so quick. For 16 year old kids, or however old they are. They act like normal kids that age but there are so many flaws with the characters and their relationship it takes from this book...
I wouldn't have read this book had I had to spend money to start the series. The first book is or was free and the rest not too bad for a kindle read. her first book is free like a lot of her first in a series, (means I will try some more of her books maybe I caught a dud series for myself) her second book is 1.99 and her third is 1.64 that is all in english pound sterling. So its not a bad read for under 5 pounds. Would I re read? No I doubt I will stray in this series again. Will I read the author? Possibly although if I do it wouldn't take a lot to put me off her.
