*I received this from the author for an honest review*


I want to start off by saying that I'm so sad! This was the last book! I won't get to read anymore about this amazing world and these characters I have come to love so much. But if a series has to end, I'm glad to see it end like this. Some series I've read end terribly but this was perfect! Everything was wrapped up nicely and it gave me all the feels.


Alyx has finally come into her own. She's stronger than before and I just love her so much. She gets to go on a final quest before the big showdown between her and Michael. There is so much action in this novel along with some wonderful romance and a few plot twists that keep the story fresh and you on the edge of your seat. If you've read the rest of this amazing series then read this one. If you've not read the series then start from the beginning because you're missing out!

Angeldust is the final book in the Dark Angel series and what an ending!
There were quite a few reveals in the last book and you’d be forgiven for thinking there was nothing more to be found…. But you’d be wrong! As the synopsis tells us; Michael has a secret island and he’s been up to no good again, this time with the warriors as he builds his own army. He nearly has all of the puzzle pieces to put his plan into action but he is missing a couple of things – a charm hidden by Raphael and of course Israel – without those, his plan is doomed to fail.
Alyx is the protector of both pieces that Michael needs, she has protected and loved Israel since the beginning and has left him safe at Castle Speranza with his new found father and the rest of the Free Thinkers, so that she can go on a quest to find Raphael’s charm in the most unlikely of places….. but when she is betrayed by one she trusted with her life, it becomes a race against time to stop Michael’s plans and she may need help from an unlikely source. When the odds are stacked against you and there’s not much hope….who do you trust? And will love conquer all?
I really loved this finale and the progression of the story and characters has been a pleasure to read. Alyx really came into her own here and became what she needed to be and did what had to be done to not only save the human race & Earth but also to save Israel – the love of her life. The wedge was felt between Alyx, Jordan and Israel following the events of book four and it was time to put the love triangle to rest once and for all. It’s a shame everything had to come between them because Jordan was a great, funny and likable character but felt really subdued in this and it really affected the rapport he had with Alyx, changing their relationship and lessening what they had been through and the bond they shared together. Israel had always been leery of Jordan around Alyx so it looks like he should be happy now.
The story was definitely the focal point here now that most of the relationship drama is done. We have Michael building a secret army on a secret island, there’s something different about this lot though and makes you realise just how long plans have been in motion. We really get to see Michael at his most evil, he will stop at nothing to make his plans happen and how do you make someone see reason when they believe that what they’re doing is for the good of all? You would think that he would have no more tricks up his sleeve…but you would be wrong and that just makes for more excitement to the story.
I loved that Alyx got to go on another quest, I love these type of threads where the character has to follow clues and hunt stuff down. Some of the events that happen in this part really give you a sense of urgency and desperation plus it’s like Alyx needed to do it, to go through some sort of self awareness so she is ready for what is to come. It also makes her see people for who they really are and it’s hit and miss as to whether she will make it out alive. Whilst this is going on, preparations are underway at the castle for the inevitable but just as Alyx has been betrayed, so have the residents of the castle and the losses will be huge.
All of this will lead to the ultimate showdown between Michael’s side and Alyx’s side. It’s not all cut and dried though because there are still a few twists to be found. People have roles, a prophecy was made and it all seemed set in stone…. But Alyx had plans of her own and it was hope that kept everyone going – and I know I was feeling it! The story was filled with action, battles, plans, secrets, a quest, alliances, betrayals, death, heartache & despair but also hope, family, love, soul mates and HEA for more than one of our characters. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series, it’s been consistently great with an engaging plot and a great set of characters set in an original world that is well written and really grabs a readers’ interest – I’ll be looking out for more from this author.

I need a minute....this was a fabulous conclusion to the series!

Full review coming....

Updated 6/27/15

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.

Angeldust
by Hanna Peach is the exciting conclusion to the Dark Angel series. Please note that if you have not read the previous books in this series that there are minor unavoidable spoilers in this review. Alyx, Israel, Jordan, and the rest of the Freethinker community is on the run. They are looking for a place to lie low after the attacks on their community and the defeat of Samyara. But the reappearance of Ana, Lukas's wife, who has lost her memory, starts telling them about an island of warriors, Alyx knows there's no time to lose in stopping Michael. The question is can she stop him without losing any of her friends in the process?

Alyx is every bit the bada-- she's been in every book of this series. She's cunning and witty with a warrior's heart. Nothing will stop her in defeating Michael and protecting Israel. Even when a friend betrays her in the worse way, possibly dooming them all, Alyx doesn't stop fighting. Truly she is the Guardian that she's denied being throughout the series.
"You are my center, my balance, my sanity. My peace. I just need to be you and me. Just for a while. Is that okay?" ~Israel
Oh my dear, sweet Israel! Israel's has a rough road throughout the series, but he finally accepts his destiny and fate in this book. He accepts that he is the keye, he accepts and embraces Tobias as his father, and above all he accepts Alyx's love :D He's come so far as a character and it's wonderful to see him come full circle!

And my Jordan! You're still my favorite ;) Jordan has also come full circle, but not in the way you would expect. He's accepted Alyx and Israel's relationship, he's no longer the womanizer, and he's lost a bit of his confidence. But that's okay. He's still Jordan :D And I love his side story with Cleo, the prostitute from Purgatory.

Overall, this book is it! It answers just about every question that comes up in the series and it ends leaving you sad but also content because you do get closure with this series, which I've been reading a lot of series enders recently and you don't always get that. All the characters, some of the world building, it all comes to a head in the perfect way. Fair warning though have your tissues ready. This is a war and with war there's losses and I wasn't prepared for that at all!!! I cried my eyes out, not even going to joke about it!

Personally I love the series, and while I thought this book started out a bit shaky, jumping from one POV to another quickly, it found it's pace and I lost myself in the world of angels and war. While this book is billed as mature young adult (16+), I might go as far to say it's new adult. There are some sexual scenes and references that I don't think belong in young adult, but that's my opinion. If you enjoy urban fantasy, angel mythology, and of course romance, I highly recommend it.

It's been a while since I read book four of the Dark Angel saga and I can say that waiting to read the finale was well worth it.

Alyx's and Israel's love is stronger than ever but nothing is plain sailing for them.

Michael continues to build his army of Seraphim with the ultimate goal of bringing about death and destruction. He continues on his quest to acquire the last of the three pieces of the amulet to achieve his goal and he needs to capture Israel who is part of the prophecy. Alyx together with Israel and the rest of the Freethinkers are determined to stop this pointless and dangerous exercise. They are faced with constant obstacles and Michael's magic is proving to be quite a challenge. He uses lies, deceit and threats to convince his followers that he is doing the right thing.

This final part of the series is fast paced, full of suspense and action packed. Alyx finds herself being betrayed once again by someone she considers a friend and danger lurks around every corner. When the true meaning of the prophecy comes to light, hard decisions and sacrifices have to be made.
I like the part young Sparrow plays.

This whole series has been quite a journey and it's sad to see it come to an end. Talking about the end, I must admit that it's not what I would have expected but it's one of the series that I will quite likely read again.

4.5 STARS

It took me awhile to pick up this book and I had to reread the entire series once again.

I think everything went well in the conclusion except for that tiny bit in the end. That was just so... I'm speechless, I had to take a breather because of that bittersweet ending. It's going to take me some time in order for me to move from this series. Just saying, their love for one another was just that strong that the ending move me to tears and while there was an epilogue, well, I craved for more.

Although this is the final book of the series, the journey of Alyx still wasn't easy. The sacrifices that both she and Israel had to do. In a way, I do understand but I just never expected that.

Still, this ending made me ball my eyes out but I loved it anyway.

There character also improved since the last time and also the other side characters. And there were parts that I still loved about them that never changed.

The things we wanted to know that haven't been answered yet were revealed here. Of course, I won't spoil them. You'd have to read it.

Though I'm glad to read the end of Alyx journey and I'm glad that I was able to read this series. Thank you very much Hanna Peach for giving me the opportunity to read this series.

Angeldust Dark Angel Series #5

I received this book by the Lovers of Paranormal in exchange of an honest review.

The last book of the series is as intense and complicated as all the others. Michael's dangerous plans have been finally out, leaving Alyx and Israel fighting another battle with almost no armor on.

Will it be enough or will they have to sacrifice themselves?? Dreading answers, frightfull moments and undoubtful love!!!

The ending was all I could think about for days. To find a love so strong and intimate is both dangerous and rewarding, those are the reasons love should be feared for, because it gives you the power to keep going, to continue fighting even if you have run out of ammo.

I was stunned by the emotions running through me, felt as if living right next to Alyx, experiencing her love. All the reasons we should love a book.

Stay Classy and continue writing Hannah!!!

I was given this book to read as an ARC by the extremely talented author Hanna Peach!

The thrilling conclusion to the Dark Angel series…

Everything about Michael’s dark plan has been hidden – until now. On an island off the coast of Egypt, a fourth Seraphim city has been discovered; a city that doesn’t appear on any Seraphim map. This city is hidden, the air smells of blood and there is something very, very wrong with the inhabitants.

Back at Castle Speranza, while Alyx is off uncovering the secret of Raphael’s charm, someone will betray her in the worst possible way…

Michael now has everything he needs. Will Alyx be able to stop him? Or could this be the end of the world as we know it?

Three words sums this book up for me.......OH MY GOD!!!! I l have loved this series and have been privileged to be given the books as ARC's by the author. Thank you Hanna for many hours of fantastic reading.

This was by far the best book and concludes the series wonderfully however.........YOU made my cry!!!!!!!
This book continues on from book four well, it was gripping and brilliantly written (as with all Hanna's books) I can not see how anyone can be disappointed with this book although yes it made me cry, it was sad but enlightening at the same time.
Alyx and Israel's love just swallows you up and it's a love like you read in fairy tales.
"She placed her hand on his heart where she knew the scar was. Under her palm she felt his heartbeat. God she loved that sound. She could listen to his heart beating all day."
Having read the other books I found re-connecting with the characters naming a few - Jordan, Cleo, Tobias, Anna really easy, the plot had its ups and downs as it took you through the final installment of the series, at times you would be thinking 'Hell yes!' at other times it would be ' No No No' a truly fantastic read!!! You can't also help notice other relationships blossoming throughout the book!
I can't imagine how difficult it was to write the ending of this book but it was a great ending - not what I expected at all but not disappointing either.

If you are a fan of fantasy books or want to read something different you must read this series!!! You do not know what you are missing if you don't.

Thank you, Thank You, Thank you Hanna for an amazing series!!! looking forward to reading your future books.

Original Review @ Naomi’s Reading Palace

Angeldust is the fifth and final book in the Dark Angel series, and I was a bit sad to see it end, but excited to see what would happen with Alyx and Israel, the rest of the group and whether or not they could stop the evil Michael. It was an exciting conclusion to the series, with plenty of twists to keep me on edge.

Alyx and Israel have been on a long journey and understand that they are both a big part of bringing Michael down. I liked seeing both of them step up, face each challenge and never back down when it counted. They are still fiercly passionate about one another and it was beautiful to see their love continue to grow.

Like the other books, there were a lot of hurdles for each of them to face. Alyx had to go on another quest of her own, and I enjoyed the riddles she had to unravel. Israel continued to grow as a man and as a pawn in the game. Jordan had to come to term with his feelings and put it all aside to fight for what is right.

The whole series was exciting and I was satisfied with the ending. I had tears in my eyes towards the end of Angeldust as I saw what sacrifices had to be made. Hanna Peach has again done a remarkable job of drawing me into her magnificent world so that I felt that I knew each and every character personally. She pulled in all the elements I have learned along the way, to make this the perfect ending to the series.

The Exciting Conclusion to an Amazing 5 Star Series!
I am finding it very difficult to write this review without posting any spoilers as I do not do that, but so much has happened in this series and in this grand finale that each time I think of something I have to remind myself that if a reader hasn't read the previous books in the series that that something will give away a spoiler. I find this happens often with later books in a series. What I can say though is that this entire series is one of my most often recommended to friends that love paranormal, love the angels and demons tales, love action and excitement and well pretty much all of my bookie friends even if they aren't lovers of these things because it is such an amazing series that I don;t really think you have to be a lover of paranormal to enjoy it. The author is so talented at painting the story, that draws you right into her world and ramping up the action, excitement, suspense, and throwing in twists and turns that keep you enthralled and turning pages. This last book in the series is completely amaze-balls! This book was more emotional for me than any of the others drawing the tears from my eyes, and dripping onto my reader. I am dsad to see the series end but will be watching out for this author to grab up anything that she decides to offer us up next. I was generously provided a complimentary copy of this by the author through the LoP (Lovers of Paranormal) group on Goodreads, for an honest review.

Absolutely AMAZING !!!!

This is how a skilled author brings it all together. Hanna has done an amazing job with this series, captivating me throughout, making me want to read on until I knew how it all ended. I am glad I got to this series after she wrote the 5th book, or else waiting for the next one to come out would have been tough.

Hanna does not disappoint. There are more twists and turns in this one, that thankfully all make sense and seem connected. Everyone is getting ready for a big finale and I am happy to see that each one comes out stronger in this. Alyx has become a person one can only love.

The ending of this series and especially this book had me in tears. The author awoke a lot of emotions on how she ended this story. I was on one hand very sad to see on how it all ended but also left with happiness. That is what an author should aspire to do, and when they do, they should be incredibly proud of themselves.

Thank you so much for sharing this incredible gem of a series. I have enjoyed every page of it and lived with the characters. This is an amazing series and an absolute must read for people who enjoyed an incredible angel - love - action story, this one has it ALL !!!!

***I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the author.***

What a bittersweet ending! I can’t believe that Alyx’s story is finally over, ugh, THAT ending! Hanna Peach, what are you doing to me! So if it’s even possible, Hanna Peach stuffed every possible event she could to conclude this series which resulted in a high action, high suspense and truly exciting ending to this series.

I was surprised, in awe, angry and annoyed. I couldn’t remember how much I loved Israel or Jordan in the past…but I was all about Israel for Alyx now. They completed it each other, which just made my heart break even more at the end…I just wish it didn’t have to end that way.

I did LOVE Jordan still though and thought that Cleo was A PERFECT complement for him. If I’d like to hear more of someone’s story, it would be them.

So many great characters in this series and so many great events, it was tough to see it all end (and was tough to accept the events that happened at the ending too!).

Regardless, overall I still really enjoyed this series. A special thanks to Hanna Peach for allowing me to review this series, I’ve really enjoyed it!

I received this book in exchange for an honest review (Lovers of Paranormal)

This series has blown my mind. Love, betrayal, death... this book has everything, and so much more.

Alyx has really changed from the naive, impulsive girl she was at the start of the series. She's grown into this headstrong woman who fights for what she truly believes in. And Israel has really matured, learning not only to control his abilities, but also to make choices out of necessity and not just want.

For those who have yet to read this last, final book, I would definitely recommend reading it as soon as humanly possible. The ending is unexpected, but satisfying. You can get that definitive feeling of closure, which is uncommon in a lot of books these days. The romance ties in nicely with the action and adventure, along with the paranormal of the Seraphim and demons. There were some sexual references, but nothing too graphic. In my opinion, this entire series is perfect for those lovers of the paranormal.

First published on [a cup of tea and an armful of books]

A huge thank you to Hanna Peach for providing me with Angeldust as well as the rest of the series! What follows is an honest review for the last book and for the series overall.


After the events of Angelblood, Alyx and Israel have decided that they can't wait until everything is right, both in the world and between themselves. They have to take advantage of the time they have together now, because they have no idea where there lives will be in the next few weeks. After uncovering Michael's horrible plans for the angels, humans, and planet, Alyx and her followers have to stop him before they can come to fruition. As Alyx speeds off to uncover the secrets of Raphael's charm in a lost Seraphim city, she puts her trust in her friends to continue protecting themselves against Michael and his followers, not knowing that Michael is moving against them more quickly than they'd prepared for. Angeldust has everything that is good and frustrating about the series as a whole in it, making this a final installment that concluded the main story line well but also kept some story lines unfinished for potential spin-offs.

The Dark Angel series has always had love triangles, and Angeldust is no exception. I understand that love triangles often make the young adult/new adult genre go-round, but they became something that was the norm in the series. It was no surprise when there were more that continued in Angeldust. I felt that there were too many and that characters were jumping from one person to the next like crazy, while also keeping feelings for their first love interest which annoyed their second. I didn't feel that the spurned point of the triangle needed to find someone immediately. These events are happening so quickly that I doubted the spurnee could get over the rejection quickly enough to have a meaningful relationship with the new love interest.

That said, I still don't feel like Angeldust went too much into the confessions of love realm. There's always been a focus on the true issues of the world instead of the fact that Alyx loves Israel. I love that this series puts romance behind the fight to save the world. It really knows where the heart of the story is and puts romance (or at least, the desire to run away together) on hold for the greater good. Although I do love the Israel and Alyx relationship, I liked that I could rely on the plot being well-written and engaging without being bogged down by too much lovey stuff. The dialogue is intelligent and keeps us focused on what Alyx is working toward and the undercurrent of love never takes over.

Angeldust keeps the focus on Alyx's strength and her guardianship duties. I love that she continues to grow throughout the series, even when it's nearing the end of the final novel. For me, she never plateaued as a character; I always found that her actions were realistic, thought-out, and fast paced. Her movement drives the plot of the series overall, because without the decisions that she makes (although not always good ones), most of the books wouldn't have much drive. Hiding from your enemies sometimes works and is necessary, but it doesn't often read as an interesting novel.

One of my favorite parts of this series was the element of side-quests. It allowed each book to have a focus. The plot of each individual book was well-constructed to fit into the larger plot of the entire series. I was never bored while reading these books because they all fit together, yet were also really good reads on their own. Each book is unique in its own right, but the drive of the main plot was there. Within each individual book, most of the problems that were unique to it were concluded, with the exception of Angeldust. The things that were left open at the conclusion of Angeldust were intentional, and following the overall theme of this review, realistic. Things don't always finish with a cut-and-dried conclusion, so that ambiguousness was a bit refreshing in light of novels that end sugar-sweet.

As always, the plot of the book was fast paced, continuing the momentum that started in the first book and didn't stop until the final book. Simultaneous events are happening and are split between characters and areas, making it impossible to stop reading when there's a break in the action of one to focus on another. It's a bit relieving when they all meet up again, because the breaks made me worry that something bad was going to happen when the point of view was switched to another character.

As much as I enjoyed this book and the series overall, there was one teensy bit regarding the ending that I was disappointed about. As a series, it concluded well with the exception of that moment. It's not the sort of hitch that destroys an entire series for me, but when I literally groan out loud (and on a crowded train, no less), it makes me a little bummed. Oh well, can't have everything be perfect. It's one of my little tics as a reader.

When I look back on everything, I really enjoyed this series. The characters, the world, the plot, and the romance, it all just hit me as something that was very enjoyable and mature. Hanna Peach has a gift for writing her worlds into the reader, and I heartily recommend this for people who like fantasy/paranormal and a plot that ties together in the end. I'd be interested in reading other novels set in this Seraphim world.

4 stars.

Again, a thank you to Hanna Peach for providing me with books 2-5 of the Dark Angel series.

WOW!

What a conclusion to a fantastic series, but is this truly the end, or only the beginning?

Alyx, Israel and the rest of the Freethinker community is on the run.

They are looking for a place to lie low after the attacks on their community and the ultimate defeat of Samyara

Alyx and Israel have been on a long journey and understand that they are both a big part of bringing Michael down. They both stepped up, faced each challenge and never backed down when it counted. They are still fiercely passionate about one another and it was beautiful to see their love continuously grow.

We have Michael building a secret army on a secret island, there’s something different about this lot though and makes you realise just how long plans have been in motion. We really get to see Michael at his most evil, he will stop at nothing to make his plans happen. You would think that he would have no more tricks up his sleeve…but you would be wrong and that just adds more excitement and mystery to the story.

Alyx together with Israel and the rest of the Freethinkers are determined to stop this pointless and dangerous exercise. They are faced with constant obstacles and Michael's magic is proving to be quite a challenge. He uses lies, deceit and threats to convince his followers that he is doing the right thing.

When the odds are stacked against you and there’s not much hope….who do you trust? And will love conquer all?

All the characters, some of the world building, it all comes to a head in the perfect way.

Fair warning though have your tissues ready. This is a war and with war there's losses

This was by far the best book and concludes the series wonderfully however.........YOU, yes you Peach, made my cry, like UGLY cried!!!! Seriously!

I received this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP or Lovers of Paranormal)

In Angeldust, Alyx returns her attention to Michael and surviving his machinations. A Seraphim city constructed and hidden by him to create a Dark Army is revealed, and he makes his move to finish what he started by opening a gate to Hell. Alyx recovers everything she needs to defeat Michael, but then is horribly betrayed and loses it all to him. A final battle will be waged to decide the fate of the world, with Seraphim against Seraphim.

I really enjoyed this book as well, and was pleased at how everything turned out, because it was not a typical “and they all lived happily ever after.” Some loose ends were tied up, and some were left to my imagination. I would definitely like to read more from Hanna Peach!!!!!!

This is book 5 of the Dark Angel Series. I was given this book from LOP in exchange for an honest review. I had purchased the first 4 books in the series and was happy to receive this to learn how the series ended. This picks up with Alyx and Israel trying to thwart Michaels plan for eradicating the human race and dominating the earth. They will learn the meaning of the prophecies and their true destinies. The story is reasonably action packed and is well paced. There are some welcome and not so welcome twists. The author could do a better job of refreshing the reader at the beginning. If there has been a time gap since reading the last book you have trouble getting oriented on all the characters and their relationships. If you’ve been following the series you will want to read the finish.

This book finishes the Dark Angel series with quite the bang. Alyx and Israel have an even stronger bond than they had prior and there is a traitor in their midst? I do not remember mentioning Jordan in any of my last reviews (doubtful), but Jordan is trying to get over his feelings for Alyx, because she has made her choice. Jordan and Israel do not get along very well, and it was funny to read their bantering. It was hilarious every time Israel called Jordan 'Blondie', and Jordan calling Israel 'boy'. This book has it moments to even out the suspense, but I would have to say it is mainly suspenseful above anything else.

'"I see you, Cleo. I see underneath all that sex and trash talk you cover yourself with. You are kind even though life has not always been kind to you. You shine with light even though you have lived in darkness. You are easily the bravest person here because you tempt death more by being mortal. Please, would you do me the honor of letting me fight alongside you?"'
I really fell in love with Jordan more in Angeldust than any of the others in the series. I felt like he really discovered his place in life in this book and found what he really wanted. But be prepared for heartbreak at the end of this book, so make sure you have The Afterlife of Alyx & Israel ready to go once you finish otherwise you might find yourself rocking in the corner in shock.

I received this book in exchange for a review.

This is the fifth and final book in the Dark Angel series. Alyx and Israel must kill Michael to save the world. Michael has taken Israel and has the amulet to open the gates of hell. With the amulet, he'll be able to lead the demons of hell. He is determined to do this and rid the world of humans. Alyx is running out of time to gather an army to fight Michael.

I enjoyed the book but there are some things not explained. I'm not sure how Michael got all three pieces of the amulet. One piece was locked in Tobias' safe. The books never referred to him getting that piece. Suddenly he just had that piece. This was a good series.

Honest Review****

I gotta say,Hanna L Peach is now on my reading radar! She sucked me right into this magical world of Angels &Demons . I'm not a huge fan of YA fantasy,,I'm more of an "Adult" fantasy reader but this was a great surprise! I loved it and so will you! I love a fantasy story that paints a believable reality for me & my imagination. I fell in love with the characters and the depth of their emotions, their strengths and their weaknesses. It's fast paced and clean so I really recommend this for young adults/teens! Read it!

Never thought it woild pull me in so strongly, I would read all five books in span of days. If you are also "a sucker for a good lovestory" ;) I reccomend reading this.

The only thing I was dissapointed about was how Jordan and Alyx´s relationship had been resolved. For such torment she went through in the previous books she got over it too quickly and easily it had been little hard to believe.

Looking forward to Afterlife.

I just absolutely love this series! It will be one that I will reread again and again. If the story line were to end with this book, I feel like it would have tied everything up. But as I love Alyx and Isreal, I am super excited about the next installment of The Afterlife of Alyx and Isreal. Plus, I just saw that there will be a book #7! Hanna, thank you so much for sharing this story with all of us! I tell everyone about this series! I enjoyed reading this so much and cannot wait for more!

I remember thinking when I finished Angelblood, that there wasn't much left to write another book on..... Boy was I mistaken!

Michael.... that's all I'll say!

The journey that Alyx and Israel have taken through this series has been so bitter sweet..... They have matured and endured so much that when I got to the end of the book, I will admit to being a bit teary!

This series has definitely joined the ranks of one of my favourites and it will be re-read for many years to come!

This story has come so far! I am very sad to see this story end, everything about this series was wonderful! I loved the complexity and the major character development within each book. This book was wonderful and I can't say anything else. I love these books, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wonderful read!

Don't know how I stumbled upon this series but I loved every minute of reading it, didn't want it to end! I think I read the whole series in a week! Can't wait to go back for a second read! I'd kill to watch a hbo style mini series of these books (1 book per season of course). Alyx is badass, and I love how the character have flaws!
