Swann #7
Abomination
If you love yourself enough to end yourself, what will your future hold?
You are no one. No one expects anything from you. With no consequences and the concept of right and wrong now irrelevant, what do you do? You can become anyone. Anything. For all the unknowns that have ever beguiled and confused her, Raven has yet to realize the extent of her existence. In the middle of the night in the middle of the Nevada desert, the key to her life lands broken, beaten and abused on the hood of her car. Horrified, Raven is forced to contemplate every choice she’s ever made, and every choice she will make that turns her into the abomination she becomes.
This reckless, paranormal life of hers, it’s a life of savagery and liberation, a life of retribution, vigilante justice, and steep, steep consequences. By comparison, the ninth circle of hell could very well be the Four Seasons. Time for reflection, however, is precious. Something is hunting her. An unthinkable beast with a ruthless agenda the likes of which no human of this time could ever fathom. This monster will track her down, tearing through the bodies, leaving human wreckage and devastation in his wake. To find her, though, he must start with her friends…

Wow!
I have really enjoyed this series. Never in a million years would I have imagined the path this story has taken. It is very well written.

Perfection guaranteed- Without Calories
God created ONE earth, Mozart did ONE 9th symphony, and there is only one Mona-Lisa, once perfection is achieved, the summit is peaked, and the strive stopps. There is no beating perfection. Since the previous book without a doubt filled every criteria for perfection, I felt a slight fear that this book would be the one that broke the continuance of seemingly impossible magnitude, the amazing over triumphing of the previous book.
I was dead wrong, this book did not break the stride of reaching higher, its went above and beyond-beyond. Genuinly stellar, and has such perfection in storyline, character and setting, (as I have come to expect by this author), but in this one he has achieved a sense of immortality.
True immortality in the world we live in is when we are always remembered, and vivid in the mind,
Impossible to forget and often comes to mind. Few authors have managed that (in their books) over the centuries; Oliver Twist, Huckleberry Finn, Gone with the wind, Thornbirds, Lifters guide to the Galaxy, the Bible etc..those are books that still live and linger with love and fondness in peoples mind.. This is one of those epic, immortal, unforgettable books.
With a pinch of humor I might say If God were to create as Ryan schow writes we would have 7 planets with perfection in different ways just here close...(no offence meant to anyone) and we would have at least a record full of 9ths symphony alikes.
So lets just be grateful there is no other ones like this Creator, Author, a genuine master of epic dimensions when it comes to telling a tale.
To put it in modern terms that is easy to relate to: "Luckily it doesnt contain calories, cause it would have been the death of me, it would at least have been a quadruple chocolate chip, hazel, merengue-cream filled giga huge plate of cookies"

Not Kindle Unlimited, freebie from somewhere, think the rest are ku. Maybe if I hadn't read in order, the prequel first, but overall it was just too much back and forth and not really about anything the blurb was talking about overall. *To make goodreads match the 'okay' rating it is a 3 there but a 2 here}
