I love this series. Tawdra Kandle has an amazing way at writing YA in such a way that it is not only appropriate, but completely believable. This is the fourth book in The King Series, of which I have read them all. At the end of Restless, book three, Tasmyn and Michael return to their amazing relationship which was temporarily ended in the story. Tasmyn happened to hear Michael think thoughts that indicated he doubted that they were really meant to be. This resulted in Tasmyn's downward spiral in which she started dating Rafe (or using), learned how to access the elements with magik but not how to control them, cause Marica Lacusta to go insane, and nearly killed Nell.
In Endless, Michael and Tasmyn are together and working through everything that happened when Michael was out of the picture. Tasmyn is also seeing a special psychiatrist who is supposed to help her learn how to control her newest powers. This is perhaps the primary focus of the entire book. Tasmyn ends up working for a company called Carruthers who finally is able to teach her how to control her many abilities. She is also sent out under cover to use her gifts to help other people. This is a dream come true for Tasmyn. Michael diligently stands by her side, forgiving her for her previous actions and supporting her newest decisions. But what will happen when Tasmyn is called to an assignment involving Nell's father? Will she and Michael finally consummate their relationship? Will they decide to take the next step and get married? You'll have to read to find out! It's well worth finding out as well!

I Love the King series, every single one of them. My favorite character is Marly, who is how I imagine Tawdra, but that besides.
In this Book Tasmyn and Michael both go to the same college, they have had rough times but seem to come to peace there. Till...... Kathryn talk her into a organisation who train people with special gifts to help others. Kathryn even invites her parents and Marly to come and talk. Her parents believe it is a good thing, Tasmyn will be helped controlling her powers and in meantime help people.
Which is a good thing since Tas gets on fire and heat up a bit to much when with Michael.
There she meets Zoe who really seems to understand Tas and helps her.
Tas gets jobs and likes helping people. One day she is asked to help Nell's father who is accused of murder his girlfriend. Things are not what they seem to be,........ Another fabulous story in the king series, I loved it and read it in one sit, only little minor point is that I felt the end was a bit hurried. GO buy it the whole series you won't regret it.

Unfortunately, this book was ruined for me by the ending. It was so rushed and there were so many loose ends/storylines left hanging, it was really disappointing.
August 17, 2015
A bit of a let down after all of the other books. I felt there could have been much much more to it, the ending seemed very rushed. I was pretty disappointed with it. :/

As a YA novel/series, this hits the mark. With a total of four books in the series, I found the characters very believeable and well rounded. We walked with Tas through her junior and senior year of high school. In college with her boyfriend everything was great until it wasn't. Recruited by an organization that dealt with people like her, she has both help in learning to control and earring money for college. Two major challenges face our young heroine; her fire casting abilities are out of control and she is placed on a mission that is above her training to date. The ending was a little rushed but maybe that was I wasn't ready for it to end.

Honestamente compré los libros porque estaban de oferta en Amazon, tengo como principio leer absolutamente cualquier cosa que me recomienden o cualquier libro que caiga en mis manos.
Con respecto al King Quartet, qué puedo decir, no es Dickens ni Rowling ni Stephen King; yo pondría ésta saga junto con los de Twilight o incluso los de House of Night, no son obras de arte (en mi opinión) pero se dejan leer, y te dejan con ganas de saber más. Me terminé encariñando un poco con Tasmyn, y si bien al final la relación con Michael se me hizo aburrida, en lineas generales me gustaron los libros.
Opino, como algunas personas, que el último libro terminó a las apuradas y nos dejaron con más preguntas que respuestas, ahí es cuando me puse a investigar y descubrí que hay como 10 libros más en otra saga: Save Tomorrow, por un lado estoy feliz de seguir leyendo sobre Tasmyn, por el otro yo no quería alargar esta relación 10 libros más D:.
En fin, ¿lo recomiendo? depende a quién, creo que para gente que se está iniciando en la lectura es perfecto.

Tasmyn and Michael are back together but not quite ready for their HEA. This is the final episode of the King Quartet, and it’s an exciting, emotional roller coaster with some unexpected and surprising twists and turns. Tasmyn’s journey to this point has not been easy. In fact, it’s been filled with some pretty intense ups and downs and this ending is no exception. There’s plenty to keep you completely entranced from start to finish. The brief look into the future at the end is a nice touch, also. Overall, this has been a captivating story with well-drawn characters and an engaging storyline. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this whole series.

Lackluster ending
I enjoyed the first three books and stayed up late to finish this one. I was totally disappointed in the very blah ending. There were so many questions left unanswered about her last mission and the people involved. The whole scenario felt rushed and just ended with no explanation as to why the individuals did what they did, why they chose to involve Tasmyn. It felt like the story was missing several chapters. The epilogue left much to be desired, as well. Was expecting more for the end of the series.

The choices Tasmyn had to make to finially help her come to the conclusion that, you just can't help everyone. Sometimes though the outcome may seem bad you just hope and pray things will come out for the best. I was hoping to hear more about Nell and if she would ever wake up. I have a good feeling that her and Tasmyn may be good friends. This was a very entertaining series. I enjoyed every book, and wish I had the next series where all of them come back and meet again. That's ok I'll be keeping my eye out for it. (less)

It was nice seeing Tasmyn grow into her powers. It was also fun watching the world expand and meeting new people with new powers. There was a bit much left unfinished in this book though. I know there is another series that continues the tales of these characters, but it would have been nice if the King series proper had wrapped up a little neater.
Not a bad read though. I enjoyed it. May even look into the other series. Only time will tell.

Does it really need to end?
Good news and bad news.
Good news – Tawdra Kandle did a fabulous job of tying up this series without the typical “stuff just worked out and they lived happily ever after” that you see in many young adult series.
Bad news – Tawdra Kandle tied up the series.
What could have been, and should have been, a year where Tasmyn and Michael learn what it is like to be off on their own together, it seems that nothing normal ever happens to Tasmyn. Instead of dealing with high school girls that play with witchcraft, a crazy teacher who tries to kidnap her, or a hot guy that doesn’t believe she is destined to be with someone else… Tasmyn has to deal with the other end of the spectrum. Lots of other people with special gifts like hers, a beautiful and more mature girl pining for her boyfriend, and the ability to set her surroundings on fire whenever Michael gets her hot and bothered. Tasmyn has to learn to control her emotions and her blossoming powers.
The final book in the King series does a really nice job of introducing new characters into the storyline, pulling everything together, and then closing it all out. I will say that I am sad to see these characters go! Great series!

This has been the most difficult book to review for me this year because it's the final chapter of Tasman and Michael. I've cried, laughed, and feared for this couple throughout the series, and they've become like friends. Saying good-bye is difficult, but nonetheless I knew Tawdra wouldn't disappoint us.
Her pages filled with the rebuilding of the dream that Michael and Tas once shared before she shattered it to pieces with her restless drive. But the adventure isn't over, not when every time they kiss poor Tas breaks out in blisters (or sets trees on fire!)She has to learn to control these new powers before she literally turns the passion into an inferno.
But that's not all. She also receives an invitation to join others like herself. The group claims they use powers for good, but after all Tas has faced she doesn't know who she can trust. To please her parents, and with the hope that they can teach her control, Tas joins up with some interesting characters. But when Nell's father is accused of murder, all bets are off and she's thrown into the heart of a bitter, ugly, and old feud that rivals anything she's ever faced.
If you've followed along with this series, you'll love the conclusion. I still want more, but I was tickled pink by the ending.

I read the book without actually realizing the book is book 4 and the final book in the King series. From the start, the story was compelling and I was literally drawn till the last page. Tamsyn is a very cool girl character. She has superpower and she does not seem to hate or like it. She's more like just okay with it, which make me think how cool she is. I can't say that without reading the first 3 books, but I've read reviews about them and I think I might have been right. Michael on the other hand is super hot. He's cool, not too cocky or too protective (which sometimes make me feel bored of typical boyfriend character). He is a boyfriend that every girl would want one. The author also made their love relationship so natural; maybe because the book is already the final book, but I have no complaints about that, just love them. I think the story is very constructive, the flow is good and I don't think I missed any part of the story. Towards to the end, I think the author also did a good job to summarize up the story. It's not like very predictable happy ending, it makes you wonder a bit and I would probably think that is genius way to make readers wanting more. That being said, I hope I can read more from the author as I am actually got Fearless to read. Yeay!

I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. This is book 4 of the King Series. In this portion we see Tasmyn back with Michael. They are both attending Perriman and working towards a future together. Tasmyn is learning to control the new aspects of her powers, sometimes not very well. She’s offered a job by group the works with special people like her to help others, and they’ve also agreed to teach her how to control her newer powers. This is like a dream come true… But true to form, Tasmyn ends up in the middle of an ugly feud when Nell’s father is accused of murder.
Once again Tawdra Kandle does not disappoint! I was drawn in from page one. I love the way Tasmyn was written, she accepts these gifts she has and doesn’t see it as a curse or burden. Michael is the sweetest boyfriend ever! This was fun book, there’s only one thing I didn’t really like and that was that this series is over. I fell in love with the main characters and wanted to watch them grow old together. This series is a must read for every paranormal romance lover!

Literally endless. The reason I only gave this 4 stars and refer to it as "literally endless" is not because I was ever bored or disliked the book (or the series). The truth is quite the contrary, in fact - I greatly enjoyed each book and would read further installments, were they available. No, my problem was that the last 5 pages (including the Epilogue) in my nook book copy were redacted...thus, I literally don't have an ending! So, that's why the missing star. Of course I know basically how it ended. Tasmyn faces off against crazy persons, Tasmyn wins, Michael and Tasmyn (presumably) reunite merrily and ride off into the sunset in Michael's Mustang. Still, I do like to actually READ THE ENDING, rather than surmise...especially when I've paid for a book (and mostly ignored the typos and the use of the name Nell when the character to whom Ms. Kandle so obviously referred was named Cathryn, etc.) Honestly, I just wanted to read the end. Why go through a whole series only to cheat me out of the final 5 pages?

In this fourth and final book of this series, Tasmyn has graduated high school and is now attending college. We see she is still true to her heart but certainly grown up a lot since the first book and not quite as naïve and trusting. She is also back together with Michael and I can not say enough how pleased I am about that. The high school sweethearts have definitely won me over. No matter how many foes are sent her way, she manages to defeat them in the ultimate good vs. evil battle. Always sticking to her guns and well... she's an awesome character. This story had a very interesting twist which steered it in a slightly different direction than the previous ones. I found it not quite as thrilling as the others but never the less very good. Easy to get caught up in the whole series which is a must read for young adult readers.

While I don’t normally do YA, there are a few books in this genre that I have read and thoroughly enjoyed. Endless is one of those few. It’s a very sweet romance. It being the 4th and last in a series, though, I SHOULD have read the other three. Don’t get me wrong…I wasn’t completely lost, I just always like to read “the back story” of the characters if they have one. Endless was well-written and the plot and characters were well-developed.

I'm so sad that this is the end! I loved these books so much and I really wish they had more of a real "ending" to them. The story was quick and fun and easy, but I was left with so many questions! What happened to Nell? Where does Cathryn end up? Why don't I get to see Michael and Tas have their first time together? Who the freak is Seth? WHAT HAPPENED TO RAFE?!?! I know, these are silly gripes, but I want to have everything tied up in a neat little bow :-)
Overall, I love the characters. I love the story. I love the town and series and everything. Give me more, please.

I am sad to see it end, but I loved following Michael and Tasmyn throughout their story. Endless shows us how much Tasmyn has grown since the first book. She has turned into a strong and powerful young woman who knows what she wants, and is sure of her place in the world. Michael is just the most perfect boyfriend ever...*swoon*
Thank you Tawdra Kandle, I can't wait to see what's next!

This book was a perfect ending to a great series. The book kept your interest right to the very end.
I like how the person who would have made the perfect villain turned out not to be the villain and the person who you would have never thought would be the villain turned out to be one.
The King Series is a great set of books. I have all the books and will be able to read them whenever I want to.
I am going to watch for more books by Tawadra Kandle. I like her writing style.

I have read all the books in the series and had been looking forward to this one. (But really didn't want the series to end!)
In this one, Tasmyn gets to use her powers for good, or so she thought. She and her boyfriend are in college together so there's lots of good romance. New characters are introduced who are really interesting. I really loved how the series wrapped up; love a good twist at the end.
Don't want to put any spoilers in here, but I recommend you check out this series.

Endless is a fantastic book. It is the 4th in the King Series (1.Fearless, 2.Breathless, 3.Restless). The main character, Tasmyn, is easy to relate too and very strong. She overcomes evil and finds the strength within her to make the right decision. The entire series is easy to read and hard to put down!

"Endless is the fourth and final book in 'The King Series'. Tawdra does a great job in finishing the series with new and old characters and how they have grown/matured. This is one series I highly recommend to all YA and not so YA readers.

I will definitely recommend this series to all paranormal lovers!
