An ending and a beginning.
This is the end of the road for Charlie and Jack, it's finally time for her to face Sybill and hope she has enough strength to win the coming battle. Charlie is not alone there's the Lake-Winters, all the Grimlocks (including Izzy Sage) and Luna Thorne all willing to help. But when it.comes.down to it.Charlie.will.have to.face.Sybill on her own .......as was always her destiny......... For Harlequin, the.crossroads demon who has given Charlie so much help and support, there is also a.reckoning coming. Harley (as she's known) defied Papa Legba to help.Charlie and.she must be punished for this, even if what she did helped the Loa's cause, rules are rules after all and Harley always knew this day was coming........... Looks like we will.have to wait for a new.series featuring Harley to see exactly what her punishment entails....................

Great Finale
Great ending to a fantastic series. I’m going to miss these characters. I loved this final book crossing over with the Grimlocks. That group is so entertaining.

Love
I enjoyed this series. The ending was perfect. I like how everything was wrapped up for Charlie. I am sure she and Jack will be in some cross overs so we will see them again.

Beautiful conclusion to a great series!
So many happy endings and yet we could hear more from Harley and other magical people in Charlie's life. I hope we get some spin-offs!

extremely entertaining paranormal cozy mystery series
This is an extremely entertaining paranormal cozy mystery series. A great cast of characters and an entertaining storyline. Unfortunately this is the final book in this particular series. Now whether this series ends and Morphin into a new series I guess we’ll have to wait and see. However there is a character in this series that seems ripe for her own Series in this magical world. Especially in the Detroit area. I guess we shall see on that one as well. Anyway. Charlie Rhodes and her friends are at the point where the final battle is nearly upon them. Civil the evil witch and Charlie will come to head at some point in this book. What can Charlie in the legacy foundation as well as the Grimm locks and the Zoe Lake family who were helping her run into during this wild and crazy ride. You might even see a couple of other characters from other series in this book pop up or at least be mentioned. As there are many stories in this magical world. as I stated above keep your fingers crossed maybe they’ll be continuing expanded series and another side series up in the near future. We can only hope. And enjoy.

At LAST! Charlie goes for the GOLD! and against the ultimate villainess Sybil. There is something thrilling about being there for our favorite character going to war against the dark side,and really that is what this is, good versus evil.
Charlie and her fiancé Jack, their friends the Grimlocks, Zoe and Aric and Sami, Luna and her house of good souls, slowing healing Detroit, and further afield the wild and wonderful Winchesters, Poet and her crazy Circus folk and of course the loud and loquacious loas, Cerunnos the Horned God - and of course Harley the crossroads demon defending Charlie and her hilarious friend…such mighty forces lined up to back Charlie Rhodes In This final fight! In the end, evil, evil Sybil wasn’t even a footnote in the story, so sad. She was a horror and then ended, hallelujah! No regrets, just rejoicing.
So happy they enjoyed their lovely wedding too, such a wonderful ending to a wonderful series.
It’s a fabulous book, a terrific series and an absolutely worthwhile read

I'm not crying!
Don't want to give too much away! Charlie learned a lot about herself in this before the end came. Changes happened all around her and when she realized that she has a team of helpers Charlie came out of her shell. You could tell something else is in the works for a lot of other characters right at the start but it was only crumbs to get the imagination going! I did cry a little even knowing that this was Charlie's last adventure as a main character but I'm hoping that a really big crossover series happens because I can see that happening. Thank you Amanda for creating another wonderful world that can be read multiple times over! Here's hoping for more adventures!!

So this series, Charlie Rhodes mysteries, was my summer read. The Grim Reaper is the last, so I'm putting my review here. This series is about a girl with unknown powers who joins a group to solve mysteries and find out more about herself. The group investigates all kinds of creatures. Charlie does make friends and learns more of who she is. The romance was nauseatingly sweet, but no serious sex scenes or horrible language (yahoo). It does have a satisfying ending. The books were simplistic in nature with no real character development. It was entertaining enough I read all 15 books.

And they all lived happily ever after…
I mean, honestly, could it have ended any other way? The gang’s all here, and the final battle is nigh. Can Charlie overcome her feelings of guilt - and her ever present inferiority complex when she’s with Zoe - and master her new powers in order to defeat the insidious Sybil? Read the book to find out. (Sassy toddler Lily interactions included at no extra charge 🥰)
4 stars 🌟

Satisfying conclusion to the series
This seems to be the last of the Charlie Rhodes series and winds up all of the loose ends from the previous books in the series. The book was quite good, but as a person who has only read this series and the Winchester Witches books, the number of supporting characters from all of the author’s other series can be confusing and a bit overwhelming to be honest. Still, this didn’t detract too much from my enjoyment of this book.

Sybil is still after Charlie, she us like a dog with a bone. No matter how she tries to kill Charlie, she doesn't succeed. I don't know why she thinks it will happen now. Charlie has a group of people who support her and this battle. They are there every step of the way, she learns some hard truths and she is ok with it. Her and Jack tie the knot. P!us we get the Grimlocks in all of their glory. I loved baby Lily! On to the next adventure!💙💚😉

This is the final book in the Charlie Rhodes series.
Charlies has been ready for the battle against Sybil for such a long time and she has a good team behind her to help her get to the end of this fight, love that she meets up with some strong people from other series i.e the famous Grimlocks, Zoe, Luna & many more.
Charlie was born the only girl in a long line of her family and it was promised that the first girl to born would be given to Sybil, but her parents had a different idea and they hid her with the help of the loas. When she eventually came into her powers this opened the door to Sybil tracking her down and threatening to end her life and drain her of her magic but everyone else has a different idea and they band together to give Charlie the chance to end Sybil once and for all.
This book is full of lots of snark and will keep you on the edge to the very end.

So sad it's ended
What a fantastic series, I wanted to drag my feet reading thus because I really didn't want it to end, but, I found I couldn't put it down because I had to know how it will end. All the characters I've loved from Amanda showed up, and wow, what an amazing book. I'm going to be sad it's over but I'm truly hopeful more exceptional series' will be coming. Absolutely so so good.Thank you for hours of enjoyment.

Excellent read!
I love with most of my favorite characters appear in a book together. This book did not disappoint. It had everything with extra sarcasm from ultimate favorite duo & their kid. I was laughing so much that & enjoying the story that I tried to stay up all night reading it. Ultimately I only made it to 4am & had to read the last 2 chapters tonight. But the last chapter was AWESOME!!!

Oh...
It was a bit of an easy win. It was slightly disappointing that it was over so simply in the end.
Hopefully, Harley gets her own series, though, as she has been left blowing in the wind. Lily and her new cousin also need something else to appear in... bah, bah, bah... we definitely need more of her snarky toddler time...
I'm not very keen on these "6 months later epilogue" endings... rather wish they were rather less "suddenly everything is perfect"...

Absolutely love it
Amanda creates not just likeable characters but also is great at giving us someone to hate(not necessarily the villain of the series)
One of the things I love about this series is the pop ups from characters from other series. Bay and Tilly, Zoe and Aric, Poet and the rest of the Mystic Caravan, and of course the Reapers and other in Detroit. I'd read the other series and fell in love with each series as it progressed and can't get enough.

This series, all the books in the series ,are great, easy reads with plenty of surprises to keep you thinking. I love the many cross over characters that come and go and add their friendships and help. This was a very good series to get you out of the mundane world. The characters are very different and well developed.Looking for the rest of the many series from this Author. I love her style of writing and her characters!

End and a new beg
Somewhat anticlimactic, but it's not as if we didn't know from the start that Charlie was going to beat Sybil. Most readers are probably following other series, and two huge climactic battles with characters from multiple series would be redundant. Scout's will cover it.
There are some loose ends I think many of us would like to pursue, like the mole in Charlie's family, what's going on with Harley, and what's up with the Ferriers?

fun enjoyable series
Well written. I love all of her books, including all of the series. I’ve read them through beginning to end at least a couple of times each. They’re just as much fun the second time as they were the first time. It’s also nice to see correct grammar being used. I will probably reread all of them again. I recommend them for anyone. They’re interesting and light fast reading.

Final book in series
I hate to see the series end, but loved the book and love the series. In this book, we get appearances from most of Charlie's allies. Interested to see what's in store next for Harley. Love Zoe and always happy when she makes can appearance. Glad Charlie got her HEA.

Oh my goodness!
This book deserves more than 5 stars. It made me laugh out loud and at the end had tears in my eyes. Everything has been leading up to the final showdown and it doesn’t disappoint. I have loved Charlie from the beginning and I can’t believe that it’s over. The saving grace is I know we will see her again in Luna’s and hopefully Harley’s stories. Loved it

An enjoyable read
This is the final book in the Charlie Rhode series. I enjoyed catching up with old favourite characters especially the Grimlocks who stole the show. A satisfying conclusion that had the evil witch dying and Charlie getting to live happily ever after with Jack. A fun and entertaining read.

Absolute delight
I have so enjoyed this series. Watching Charlie grow and become the woman she was meant to be has been a great journey. My only complaint is that the series has ended. Hopefully Charlie will pop up in another series. Ms. Lee has amazing talent and I look forward to the next series!

Ending exceeded expectations
Amanda M Lee’s characters draw you into the story and before you realize it you feel like you are living the story.
There are a few authors who can create story lines and characters that make you hope the story never ends. This author has that ability.

This was an excellent ending to a fantastic Series. There is never a dull moment when the Grimlocks and the Lake Families are in one place. Charlie finally faces off with Sybil, only one will walk away. Don't worry, Charlie won't do it alone. I can't wait to see where all these characters go in the future. I know we will see them in other series of Amanda M. Lee.

Applause!!!
I can't believe I am writing this. This is the happiest bunch of books I've ever read. I hate like Hades that they're at least at this junction. Maybe she'll reappear with her assortment of friends. Till then I may have to check their adventures in some other stories. Check you later Charlie!

Awesome
Great ending to a good series. Lots of familiar faces show up. I laughed in spots, especially at Lily and Sami. Suspense throughout as plans are set for the Sybil battle.
