Disappointment

To start off, I really wanted to like this book. But it was hard to. I honestly feel that after book 3 this series kind of went downhill. It got so convoluted, confusing and repetitive. And this finale was the worst installment.
I feel like this book and book 5( charm) could have been combined into one book. It was that repetitive. Grace complaining about how much of shit show her life has become. A little peek into side characters lives and then throw in a A sexy time with Hudson which I skipped past cause I was tired of hearing about ‘how good’ he felt. And her going from gargoyle to Demi God was just so unrealistic and then to be related to so and so was just too much.
And a lot of the side characters were underdeveloped. Like they were afterthoughts and it was annoying. I was more interested in hearing about Jackson and Flint than Grace and Hudson.
And what got super old was the short chapters and the, trying too hard cliche chapter names.
To wrap it all up. This series ends on dud. It went on for too long and got so convoluted with all its unnecessary additions of gods, a shadow world and too many unnecessary details that just felt like fillers. And the ending was so rushed and messy as hell. Don’t get me started on the so many loose ends ( which I’m sure were meant to keep this series going in the spin off)that are just annoying. A very disappointing and anti climatic finale. The only saving grace was the return of Smokey

Mates!!!

Loved. The growth of Hudson and Grace as a power couple spot on. Insecurities showing, fear of each others actions, fear of losing each other, the love for each other. I do miss the laugh out loud moments in the other books but all in all a great wrap up to their story. I was hoping for Hudson in an awe moment of Grace to bust out Trains “Marry Me” at the end of the book as the surprise but I suppose what he had to show her was enough for now if it means more books. I hope the hints of Academies, and Katmere reopening, along with hunters threat will only allow us to see more of these characters in a cross over. I need for Macy to find herself and her happiness, need the Gargoyle kids to join the academies after 1000 years, to see more human and paranormal coexistence.

A nice way to wrap up the series.

1st person/single pov
Spice: 1/5 (don't worry it is basically fade to black)

So when I found out this book was going back to the Shadow Realm I was instantly excited. Given what we found out happened in the Shadow Realm with Hudson and Grace and who was left there I knew it was part of their story I couldn't pass up. I will say that I didn't love this particular book as much as I did the rest of the books but I did still enjoy it. It had all of the usual Grace and Hudson banter as well as the Hudson and Jaxon banter that drew me into the series, to begin with. However, it also has some tension between Jaxon and Flint that I was completely wrapped up in the entire book as well as some added tension between a couple of other side characters.

In fact, we get to see quite a few of our favorite characters from the previous books make a repeat appearance in this part of the story. We also get to see some new characters and learn more about some of the ones we've only seen small glimpses of so far. There are a lot of laughs, a quite comical concert experience, moments of vulnerability that will have you choking back a few tears, and a story that wraps up all of these characters we've grown to love these last few years in one big happy ending. While this book did not necessarily blow me away as the ones before it did it was still an excellent way to wrap up their series and I can understand why it was written in the order it was. As for the audio well it was as good as the rest of them were. I've always loved the voices this narrator gives to all of the characters especially Hudson's. And you do get a small moment from Hudson's point of view at the end voiced by Liam Price. I'm still not a big fan of his female voices but it's always a bonus when we get a Hudson chapter regardless.

Two books too long

So much filler, in this book and it’s repetitive. Grace constantly says to Hudson “Smells so good” every time they embrace

I really don’t like how Grace is one of the youngest characters in the book, but yet morally superior and always has the most amazing ideas then her older friends and rulers

Great story

The changes voices/accents through the series was a little off putting but didn’t take away much from an entertaining read.
