Aisling Grimlock #9
Grim Vows
Weddings are supposed to be all about white veils, flowers and happily ever after. For Aisling Grimlock, she wants the ending … but the journey isn’t quite finished.
Ever since her mother returned from the dead almost a year prior, Aisling has been riddled with doubts.
Is Lily Grimlock a killer?
What does she ultimately want?
Does she have anyone’s best interests at heart?
All of those questions are about to be answered, although the person providing the information is one Aisling thought she would never see again. Another woman, another time, another mother.
It’s all coming together … and the ultimate limit of Aisling’s strength and fortitude is about to be tested.
Cormack Grimlock is determined to give his daughter the wedding of her dreams. The four Grimlock brothers are determined to serve as protectors. And Griffin? He just wants a happy wife and to start a new life.
There’s only one thing standing in their way, one battle left to fight.
The time is here. The Grimlocks are throwing down, and not everyone is going to make it out alive … and happily ever after might ultimately be a dream.

5 Stars... When all is revealed, who will be left standing? Aisling is preparing for the biggest moment of her life, and if Jerry doesn't drive her mad her mother may drive her crazy! Is Aisling seeing a ghost or has she finally lost it? In order for the past to finally be laid to rest, the Grimlocks must face one final battle, and it is the battle of a lifetime! All is revealed in this perfect ending to this fun and entertaining series... I thoroughly enjoyed this finale and will sincerely miss spending time with these crazy characters that can make you laugh and cry in a heartbeat... Thanks to Amanda Lee for sharing the Grimlocks with us and giving us a spin - off to keep tabs on their progress... Looking forward to more mayhem in the future!

So, I did finish the series but for folks who follow my reviews I should warn you that most of this author’s writings are juvenile. It isn’t just romance tropes - she loves to have siblings/cousins and have them argue (for pages). The male insta-love needs pages to express how much he loves the main character - and he has to keep doing it because she’s insecure or concerned her situation puts his safety in jeopardy. In this particular series - the four brothers also need time to profess their love (and / or quarrel “ I didn’t You Did I didn’t - great stuff). And, the magical world isn’t fleshed out well resulting in a few inconsistencies across books in the series.
Again, I get Kindle Unlimited authors need page counts to make any money, but I do wish this author would edit back the repetitive bickering and over abundant gushing love proclamations.
I skim easily, so did scan the series to catch the story line. Moonstone Bay series wasn’t as annoying (Witches was the worst). Need to look at publication dates to see if she’s getting better or worse.

Now that is how you end a series, lots of family fun, action, adventure, and schmaltz.
I just loved it Aisling was at her most awesome, Griffin was her perfect partner, Aislings dad and brothers were there for her when she needed them even Braden and as always Jerry had everything under control.
This was a great wrap up to the series but left openings for future visits into other series by the author and I have to say I really love Karma ....... lol

Wow what a fab ending to the series!!
I wont say too much about the plot and the happenings of the story which may spoil it for others who are yet to read it.
All i will say is that its a fab ending to a brilliant and amazing series.
The loose ends were all tied up quite nicely.
It is the week of Aisling wedding when the Taylors arrive en masse for the festivities.
All hell breaks loose when Aisling life is in danger.
How will the Grimlocks save Aisling? How will they keep the reality of the Grimlocks family away from the Taylors?
The question of what is Lily up to gets answered quite nicely.
The Grimlocks are all about protecting each other and they do so fabulously in this book.
The epilogue was wonderful. I hated to see it end. I wanted to read more and more as you get a glimpse into the future.
Cant wait for the spin off. Hope its not a too long wait.

An extremely satisfying end to the series, made all the sweeter with the knowledge that we get to go forward with these characters in a new series. I think of all the worlds/families that Amanda M Lee has created, the Grimlocks might just be my favourites. Aisling is quirky, confident and as usual seeing strange things. Her relationship with Griffin never gets old, it's so delightful and the way the family pull through yet again makes you want to read this over and over. It doesn't feel possible to Aisling but she is now seeing two moms. Are they both evil? Is she going mad? Or is something else going on. I have to say a notion I had a few books ago came true and the end was truly enjoyable. Already looking forward to more hijinks.

Karma gets you every time
Brilliant! A terrific lively, fun, action packed plot that you will sail through. Great to see the characters growing and evolve.
Her wedding is in a few days. Griffin's family are arriving and she feels a bit off. Is it wedding nerves or is it the wraiths that seem to be after her? Plus she eating like a horse. Her mother is acting strangely and now she's started to see another younger version of her mother. Attacks, wedding plans, family dynamics are all interwoven into a brilliant read. Will they stop whoever is trying to hurt her? Will the wedding good ahead? Why does she feel off colour?
The epilogue is brilliant - loved it!!

Grimlocks Forever
**might have a little spoiler stuff**
I don’t usually write reviews except for books I absolutely love. I read through this entire series as fast as I could. It fills me with so much envy, the love, fun and family togetherness that the Grimlocks have. Even if Aisling, Aiden, Braden, Cillian, Redmond and Jerry (he’s as much her brother as the rest) don’t realize it, they are so lucky. Cormack is an amazing dad, and Griffin (I really want to see a fan art picture/drawing of him) is the husband we all want. I have laughed so much reading about all their antics and I just couldn’t put it down. Read this series, please!!!!

Extraordinarily outstanding
One of my favorite authors and series. The grim lock family is up to their usual hijinks and Reaper activities. No spoilers but all of the previous books and stories come to ahead and this book winds up this specific portion of this family tail. It is awesome from beginning to end. Then again every one of the books in the series is awesome from beginning to end. Sad to see Series end but the characters are moving onto a new series in an expanded reaper universe. Coming soon. You will not be disappointed check out all of her series and books.

Not Ready to Say Goodbye
As excited as I was to get all my questions answered I found myself alternating between racing through the pages and rereading pages just to drag it out. I cringed every time I saw the percentage finished, because I wasn't ready to say goodbye to Aisling & her family.
If there is anyone who hasn't read this series, go back & start at the beginning. It's well worth the time & money. Ms. Lee doesn't disappoint in any of her series!
I'm excited for the new series, it sounds like it can stand on its own, but keeping Aisling around is a nice tribute.

Really enjoyed the series
I really enjoyed the snark throughout and that the characters maintained their personalities while still growing and changing. I did see several aspects of the ending early in the series but they all seemed to fit very well. Very easy to read. I definitely felt part of this world by the end.
Probably not the best for young readers due to the suggestive parts and things the characters say that would make you blush if your 8 year old repeated back in school.

The big day is almost here, but now Aisling is seeing a younger version of her mother and is worried she is going crazy
What I enjoyed:
* The epilogue
* The mystery of their mother finally being wrapped up
* Family interactions are fun as always
What could have been better:
* Needed more Jerry, he was barely in it

Amazing
What a great ending. I am so happy to know that the Grimlocks aren't over for good. The upcoming new series already sounds intriguing. As for this book it had everything. Plus the flash forward made it that much better. I can't say much as I'm afraid to give anything away no matter how subtle. I will say Amanda M. Lee is a storytelling master. I have been and continue to be a huge fan!!

A satisfying ending to a great series. Aisling and Griffin are getting married. His family is in town and he wants to keep Aisling bruise-free until the wedding. But it seems wraiths and others have different plans for her. This book ties up the loose threads nicely while still leaving the reader “just one more story”. Thankfully there will be a new series out that will feature grims and Aisling and her family are a part of it.

Oh joy!
Kindle Unlimited. Thank you!
This series is such a "happy place". Time spent with each book was like a mini vacation. Future readers won't have to wait for new additions (assuming this is the series ending) but I loved that the stories "stuck". I never had to do a memory refresher before starting in again. I'll be adding this series to my favorites list and I'm sure I'll be rereading it from time to time.

Aisling Grimlock….what can I say?
The writing is solid and the participants distinct.
Aisling is (insufferably) headstrong and willful, making life more traumatic for herself and those around her.
Machinations of forces focused on the Grimlock family (including a deluded stalker, a ghoul, professional rivals and a person ling believed dead), putting their survival on the line.
All comes together here.

If you haven’t gotten this book yet DO IT! It is an amazing ending for this series. If you have never read the Aisling Grimlock series yet again DO IT! You are missing out. Amanda M. Lee is an amazing author and writes so many different series of books. I have been reading them all and hopes she keeps writing.

Bittersweet Perfection
The finale of the Grimlock series did not disappoint. Perfect blend of the wedding, tying up loose ends and a glimpse at the future. I am saddened the series is done. Thankfully Ms. Lee promises more Aisling in the spin off series. Romance, magic and snark. The perfect Lee blend.

An enjoyable ending to a great series!! I liked how things played out, and it was fun to see the Grimlocks and Taylors interact. I also loved seeing the siblings band together. I was expecting to see some of the wedding itself, but the moments before were very cute. The epilogue was great! Interested to read the spin off series... I just can't get enough of the Grimlock family!

I use to look forward to a new book in this series, but I can honestly say it has gone from decent to crap. The entire book is devoted to pampering Aisling as her wedding date approaches. While her half dead mother plots to kill her, so she can live forever. And, you know how the battle goes, so no need to mention everyone coming to the rescue.

So looking forward to reading more of this Authors works. Of which I enjoy others of Her works. And am looking forward to hearing more about the Girmlocks. 💖💖

Grim excitement
I was half way through Only The Lonely, was really confused. Every one of the Grimlock novels was entertaining, but, something was off. To my horror, I discovered that I’d missed Grim Vows. Spoiler alert, please read them in order.
This book capped off the saga nicely. Now, I need to get back to Only The Lonely.

Love the series
If you are looking to read this book and you haven't started at Book 1, I would recommend waiting. This is a series of 9 books and it's really worth it to start at 1. I can't say enough about Amanda Lee's books. I finish one and immediately start on the next book in the series. Finish one series start another one, who's needs a clean house.

Great Conclusion
With the wedding fast approaching Aisling is convinced she’s going crazy when she begins to see her Mother’s ghost. The Woman looks exactly like the Mother she lost 11 years ago.
Will she make it to the big day without something drastic happening?
Read these books in order for the best entertainment.

I do!
Love this book and series!! The Grimlocks are one of my favorite families. They make me laugh. It's a good reminder that You can mess with your siblings but everyone else better watch out. Read them all and Amanda M Lee 's other series too. Highly recommended!

Good book.
Another great read. Sad it is over and sad that this part of the Grimlock story is done. Really glad that other members will still have a voice.
Good story line, both happy and a little sad. Some ends nicely tied up. I would recommend this book.
