Resolve is the 5th book in the Raegan of Ruin Series by A.L. Rook. This is the thrilling conclusion to this series. And if you haven’t already started the series you will want to start with book 1 Ravage and read the series in order so you understand the events as they take place. This also allows you to get to know our characters and what they have been through before you arrive at Resolve, and read this heart-stopping series conclusion.
I have been waiting on tenterhooks for this book ever since I finished reading Remnants. And let me tell you, I’ve been an emotional wreck waiting for this book with the cliffhanger A.L. Rook left us with. But, that’s over now, I’ve finally got my answers and all that waiting and pacing is over and I’m finally satisfied. Or at least as satisfied as I can be.
A.L. really raised the stakes in this book and let me tell you they are massive, the tension in this book is massive and relentless and when you read it, you’re going to be like me in saying “just one more” until you realize that it’s dawn and you haven’t slept yet.
This is it, Raegan, her mates, and her friends are finally up against their final single enemy, they have just one goal (as impossible as it may be), and they now find themselves ready, standing at that final moment, the battle lines drawn, and they know this moment is going to demand everything of each one of them.
GE’s reach has felt terrifyingly vast, and each loss that they have been delt has hit them hard. But Raegan, her mates, and everyone standing with them know that they can no longer run and hide, they can no longer wait, all they can do now is push forward, keep their hope alive and burning bright, before it burns out and dies forever.
I have to say that Raegan’s growth through the whole series but especially in this book was phenomenal. Getting to watch her come into her full power, for some reason it not only emotionally destroyed me but it also physically destroyed me. I loved the way that no matter what happed, no matter what Raegan had to go through, she would choose her found family over and over again. And the way that they not only supported her but also protected and trusted her, that was what truly mattered that most in my opinion. A.L. Rook did found family perfectly in this book and in this series.
Then there’s the rest of the crew. We have all the anxiety-inducing battles, the world-ending stakes, and yet we still got the spicy moments that were so intense, emotional and you know they were deeply earned. A.L. Rook did the perfect job of balancing the action, spice, and the emotion perfectly. And that’s not something that is always easily done; it’s like walking a razor edged and, in this series, it was done to a tee.
And I can’t talk about Resolve without talking about that final epic battle. My God, A.L. Rook gave us cinematic gold. You can tell the moment Raegan realizes what it’s going to take – and then just does it – I almost compare it to a Thanos snap…but rather than the snap, it’s just a single devastating touch. And it just gives me these absolute chills.
And then we come to the place we all dread when we know a book is the conclusion of a series, the ending. It was so incredibly satisfying but at the same time it was bittersweet as I didn’t want the series to end. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to Raegan, her mates or her friends. But, as I knew would happen, Raegan’s story came to a beautiful end with nothing being left unsaid.
And that’s it, the series is over and I have this deep need to cry for reasons I can’t explain. And while I am sad that the series has come to it’s natural conclusion, I’m not sorry that I got to read such a fantastic series, I feel proud that I got to be a part of it and I can tell you that I already miss Raegan, her mates, her friends and everyone else and I can’t wait to put this entire series on my trophy shelf.
Thank you so much to A.L. Rood and The Nerd Fam for letting me be a part of this amazing adventure. I can only hope and pray that there will be spin-off’s as I would love to be reunited with these characters again one day.
I highly recommend this series; it is phenomenal and such a great read. But it has to be read in order.
