The Basilisk Trilogy #3
Web of Gold
As humanity silently fractures under the shadow of the Illuminati, Ouen and Amara are forced together once more–their shared history, as much a wound as a weapon. Ouen’s desperate search for his daughter drives him into the heart of Alton Conley’s empire, where madness fuels a vision of total control. Amara struggles to defeat the specters of her past and live in the present. Rex’s unwavering courage threatens to cost him everything while Thea’s instincts navigate a path through the chaos.
As they venture deeper into reality, where trust is fleeting, and every choice risks unraveling the gilded threads holding them together, the bonds they share become their greatest shield and their deepest vulnerability. In the face of an enemy who thrives on division, Ouen, Amara, and their allies must prove that the ties that bind them are stronger than Conley’s grip.
From the blistering sands of Triton to the shadowed depths of Io, the fight for humanity’s survival will test the strength of the crew’s unity and challenge their limits. Web of Gold is a searing conclusion to a trilogy that explores the power of family—by blood and by choice—and the strength of a perilous hope.

Diving into this book I was looking forward to all of the loose ends from the other two, tied up in a nice bow, and that's exactly what I got. Ouen and Amara's chemistry, even during difficult times, is easy and believable, and I always applaud an author who leans into character development rather than simple physical attraction (or explicit scenes) to describe the kind of love that can develop between two people. It feels real when there's a reason they connect, and their characters *do*. Additional characters were added to the narrative in believable ways, and the pacing was fast moving when it needed to be, slowed down when it felt right. The author definitely has an instinct for these kind of things. Thea's and Rex's character traits were consistent with their established actions, and I really did like little Nomad. I don't know why, but it made me think of an axolotl (although I'm not sure that was intended, might just be me).
Over the course of the trilogy, you can see Jubilee's voice as an author grow. I have to say, this is definitely her best so far, and I look forward to more of her work in the future! The depth of her imagination in describing technical, scientific, theoretical, and fantastical elements of her stories are awesome and keep the reader engaged until the very last page. If you want to support an indie author that has the full capacity to go places, she's your gal.
Well done, Leah! Can't wait to read more from you :)

The final book in the Basilisk trilogy and that ending did not disappoint.
Technically Not Dead is still my favorite of these three books. It was a walk through a darkness that only became darker. Coded Humanity was gritty, but fun and full of character banter. Though I questioned Ouen a lot in that book, he redeems himself in Web of Gold. And I was here for the lighthearted bond sewing its way through Ouen and Amara.
The best part of Web of Gold was definitely the battle scenes that wrecked through the Illumination countdown and Conley's compound.
Ouen and Amara were out for blood to get Raphaelle back.
And although, I had struggled through the first half of the story, the subtle reminders of previous books drew me back in. The love I have for these characters had me choking up with tears lining my eyes. Some bad times, some good.
Given the theme of Technically Not Dead, I am also somewhat wary that this is really the end.
There is a low hum in the back of my mind saying we're stuck in some kind of matrix. But if it is, it's well deserved. This trilogy will stay with me ♾️
What are you waiting for? Go get TND, now! 🖤🔥
