I voluntarily reviewed an early copy of this book :) this is the third and final installmet in a paranormal / urban fantasy trilogy, so writing this review will be a bit tricky :) mostly, because I try to keep them always spoiler free, so you guys can read them even if you are not familiar with the world or the previous stories set in it... but in this case all three books are telling one, big and very connected story, so there's no way for me to share my opinion about this last installment without sharing some details... so here's what we're gonna do :) in the next paragraph I will tell you a bit more about the world, the overall plot and some more about our main characters :) all of that will be safe to read for those of you who are new to the series, because there won't be any spoilers there :) then in the third and last paragraph, I will share my opinion about this conclusion, and that one will include spoilers about the first two books, so if you are not caught up, just don't read it :) now that everything is clear, let's get into the good stuff :)
Like I mentioned before, this is a sort of paranormal / urban fantasy story set in our world, but with some magical twists... ;) all three books tell a story about one group of characters, and all of that started when Lucas, a Chicago detective, met during an art exhibition a mysterious woman, Skye... ;) what he didn't know at the time is that Skye is a Seer, which means she sees visions of people dying... they are prompted by the smallest things, like a touch of the hand... that's the reason she keeps to herself, avoiding others... which is totally understandable... but something is different when they meet, and neither of them knows how much the other will change their lives... there's not much more I can tell you if you are completely new to the series, because we don't know much at the very beginning of the story... all throughout that first installment certain things are revealed about our main couple... :) so forgive me for being vague :) the whole series is written by two authors, but their styles blend together seamlessly, and you can't really tell that two different people wrote it :) it's fast paced and entertaining, with quite a few surprising twists and turns along the way ;) I adored the banter and chemistry between Skye and Lucas... plus the connections between them and the secondary characters, that I can't name right now, because they are not obvious from the start ;) that being said, I recommend you guys to check out this trilogy :) it's a great written story, that will pull you in from the start and keep you on your toes :) now that we have the spoiler free part out of the way, if you are not familiar with the first two books, this is the moment to stop reading my review :)
Seriously guys, LAST WARNING, spoilers about the first two books will appear in this paragraph... I will be talking about some major surprises and turns from the previous stories, so you are reading the rest of this review kowing that... :) ok, I assume that all of you who are still with me already read the first two stories... or don't mind being spoiled about some pretty big things... so we pick up right where we left off, with Skye being taken by the Druid... although because of the letter she wrote before he took her, Lucas thinks at first, that she abandoned them... it's a whole complex and messy situation, that we don't have time to unpack in more details right now... it takes Lizzie's conviction to shake the guys a bit, and to push them in the right direction... this whole book is basically one action after another, with quite a few twists I did not see coming... our group of characters does their best to first rescue Skye and then to defeat Druid once and for all... obviously, I can't tell you more about what happens in this installment... and trust me... it's a lot... ;) but I think it was a really good ending to the whole series :) we got answers to a lot of questions and even got a little glimpse into the future ;) so if you are in the mood for a paranormal story with sarcastic banter, full of action, I definitely recommend you to check this series out :)
XOXO
