Endings are Hard
The final Fred book. I am sad to see it end, but delighted by the end.
The House of Fred returns in all its comical competence. Challenges are faced, kindnesses are given, and lore is discovered.
I really enjoyed this volume, and recommend it to all the peoples of good taste that enjoy this series.

Awesome Fred Story
Loved the finale?? in the Fred series, though would love a follow up novella about where each of the clan is at, say at the five hundredth anniversary of the forming of Winslow as a sanctuary. Did Sally remain as Tiamat and did she and Gideon become a thing? Maybe a shoot off series there with pop ins from the crew. Did Bubba find someone who wasn’t in it for the power? How did Lillian, Asha, Charlotte, Al, Neil, Albert, Arch and Amy fare?

It ends well, but has a few flaws
Yes this is the last book in the series.
This book has a few thin patches where there isn't much, but what isn't there gets padded out with filler and those bald spots go on and on. There were also "problems" that seemed to have obvious solutions that nobody ever thought of. It drove me a bit crazy, they were really effing obvious.
-but all's well that ends well, even if that end seems a bit rushed or abrupt it's better than no end.

Love all his stories
Fred is great, all of the characters are interesting and fully defined. The stories keep me reading and pulls me into them.
One of the things I appreciate is how he gives me endings that satisfy.
I look forward to seeing where he takes me next.

A fine ending
I'm always sad when I come to the end of a series but I'm especially sad for this one. I've loved Fred and company from the very beginning and I'm sorry that there won't be any more adventures. Especially since I still have some questions! Thank you, Drew Hayes for this wonderful experience!

Fantastic Ending to an enjoyable series
This volume provides closure for the characters and our hero. Endings can be hard, but Drew Hayes knows how to write them (see also: Superpowereds)
The author gives us a satisfying ending for the series, but leaves it open up enough to revisit the universe in the future.

Masterful conclusion
I’ve always found the “endings” of series to be…lacking. Our dear author, Hayes, included. However, this ending to a sweater vest-loving, power-not-hungry(but appreciative) vampire saga was its own best ending. Well done.

A truly excellent conclusion
Couldn’t ask for a better finish to this series. Thoroughly enjoyable. A solid finish even tougher to accomplish than an interesting start, but Mr. Hayes has managed it, in my opinion.

Frustrating finale
Frederick Frankford Fletcher. (Mild spoilers).
One of my favorite characters, and series. This book does a splendid job of wrapping up the series, and literally everyone gets their best ending, even if it feels ham fisted at times.
I wanted to give this a lower overall score for the numerous typos and some of the inane situations (one section involves a surprise birthday party where 90% of the guests are given, at best, hours notice of the event yet everyone brings snacks and a thoughtful gift).
But the final ending is nearly a perfect capstone of the series. The final lines (excluding the epilogue, which arguably ruins the effect but whatever, this is fiction) are an exact copy of the opening monologue for each book. Frustratingly, verbatim. Copy, paste. Which would be 100% amazing & not come off lazy if the tense had been changed! We get "...for the works you are about to read..." as the CONCLUSION of the series! If this had been simply some thing like "...for the works you have just read..." the wrap would have been *chef's kiss* phenomenal.

A beautiful ending to the series.
One thing I love about this author is knowing that the ending has to have a payoff for the reader. And this book has all the payoff that I've come to expect from this series and author -- with a few surprises along the way that I wasn't entirely expecting.
This wraps the series really well, while at the same time there are still clearly stories left untold -- but that happens when most of your characters are either immortal or at least have long lifespans.
What impresses me the most is that from book 1 Fred is a boring, average guy with a heart of gold. By the end of the series, the average guy part is clearly shredded to bits, but the humility he's brought to the table still allows that heart of gold to shine.
It's impressive for a series to have a protagonist that undergoes a lot of growth, and power, but still maintains where you know that's the same person.
Well done all the way around.

So happy to read, so sad to say goodbye
Drew Hayes has ended another series I was not ready for, but has done such a great job I can accept it. Thank you for providing me endless hours of entertainment. This book does a great job of heralding back some past experiences and allowing closure for us readers. Maybe even leaving an opening, however small, for some short stories to be created.

A satisfying ending
Well, this book feels in many ways. Like other stories satisfying, it has a more holistic flow that ties it back to the beginning and helps prepare it for the end of the series. You get some satisfying conclusions to certain characters. Answers to a few questions and some suggestions for the future.After the series ends all in a book worth picking up.And i'm glad to find an offer who knows how to end the series

A satisfactory end to a great series. Hayes gives all the members of the House of Fred a small role to play, but the story very much centers on Fred. He really comes into his own.. As Gideon points out near the end, Fred is a natural politician in that he he listens and trys to find the best solution for all involved.

A satisfying end
What a wonderful series! All the books in this series have been enjoyable, fun, and entertaining. This final volume wraps things up nicely while providing even more depth and breadth to the characters.

Uninteresting my tush
Fred the uninteresting vampire accountant is far from it! These books get better with each title, and each read. A character driven masterpiece. (And lets talk about characters, huh)

what a perfect ending
I really love the heart of this series and I loved the absolutely wonderful and unique turn on vampirism that Drew dreamed up. I will dearly miss these characters and hope to see the original vampire come back in a new series.

The final chapter
As sad as I am this is the final book of the series, I liked the ending. Everything came full circle, and the group got their happy ending.

Another home run for Drew Hayes.
An excellent read, and a delightful story. As sad as I am to say farewell to Fred, I enjoyed reading this final book in the series.

Not a writer so please excuse the succinct and relatively “detail” free review.
Just read the entire series and enjoy!

This book - and this series - has been a joy from start to finish. It's about community, and being able to picture other people complexly, and about trying to do the right thing. I loved it.

Perfect ending to an amazing series. I’m going to miss Fred and the rest of the House of Fred.

I enjoyed the whole series! The characters are great, so are the actions they commit to. I really liked the story line.
