This
is what it all comes down to. Georgina
has been a succubus for a long time and lived many lives. She finally has the man she loves and while
there are complications things are on the up-swing. Until she gets papers of transfer to what
would normally be a desirable destination….Vegas. While it might be a dream gig it pulls her
away from her friends and life she has built, but most importantly Seth. There is just something suspicious about
everything and if there is every a snowballs chance in hell of getting out of
this business she is going to try.
This
is it. The culmination of all the other
stories and what is to become of our favorite succubus and her favorite
author. We have been waiting for it
through five previous books and I was glued in through it all. I will say this one has more emotional action
/ drama rather than physical action but it was very rewarding for me. I had a lot of the plot figured out early on,
some I suspected from previous book and some hints but it became apparent to me
very early in this book what took them much longer to figure out. Still even when I knew watching them come up
with it and then come to terms with what it meant was a roller coaster. Ups and downs that had you unsure what way
was up at points. Georgina is always so
strong and ready for anything but you see that there are times when even she is
scared to face things. I loved seeing
the juxtaposition in her and how everything from the previous stories had been
building to this moment. Little bread
crumbs along the way. I love when a
story is so well set up that you can look back to the first book and see certain
things in a different light.
There
is still the zanny and snazzy lines we love from our characters and their care
free attitudes for many things to compliment the more emotional side of
things. I loved getting to see more with
the Mortensen women because they were always so much fun. The girls just touched your heart and I loved
their interaction with Georgina. I also
enjoyed getting to see more with Peter, Cody, Hugh, Carter, and Roman. Roman really turned a corner in the last book
for me and I wasn’t sure if he was going to revert in this final installment or
not but I am glad to see his character developed the way he did. Of course Carter is amazing for me, I loved
the idea of having an angel hanging out in the crew of hellish creatures. We also got to meet some new lesser immortals
in Vegas and the return of Bast, whom I was on the fence about. I really
enjoyed the mystery of this story and how it has been building since book one
and the payoff was everything to me in the end and I am happy. That said I still have some questions about a
few things that I would have liked more on just because I’m curious but overall
the important things were there. I think
the book could have been a bit longer and the end had a bit of a rush to it for
me mainly because I still have some questions.
None of this will detract any points because this story as a whole gave
me so much more than I could have asked for I just wanted more. But that seems to be the way with books we
love.
Now
I have a few things I need to discuss that are total spoilers for the books and
series. So don’t continue on if you
haven’t finished the series.

Seriously this is you last warning!!!
So
he always thought they were connected.
Her past loves. Seth and her
first husband, the name I can’t spell since I listened to the audiobook. But I knew from book one there was a
connection stronger and as the series developed I saw hints all over the
place. When Seth got her a ring in style
to her original wedding ring. Him
calling her his world. The Maddie thing
(she slept with his best friend in the first life and he slept with hers in
this one) the parallel was real and while I hated it the parallel is what made
me understand it better but more when he finally explained himself at the end
of the last book in his note. I just
love it. I love that they finally got to
have their fresh start.
But
now onto questions I still have. I want
to know what happened, for sure with Roman and Yasmine. I want to wish for the best and until I hear
otherwise they are okay. Side note I loved
that they brought Yasmine back. What
else…oh yeah what about Bast? Did we
ever find out if he was truly her friend who was lying under orders thinking it
was no big deal or did he know the part he was playing? What became of Jerome, did he get to keep his
gig or did someone else take over Seattle?
If so who? Also what about Niphon
and his major screw up? I hope he got
blasted for all the torment, Jerome too.
And to think I liked him and she SAVED him. Moving on, so she has leave Seattle which
makes sense what Carter told her but the family is still there so they will
make visits to see the girls and all so they could still be friends just on the
down low right? I am going with
yes! Because another big question is
what about Kayla? With them gone who is
going to teach Kayla about her gift so she understands what she sees? Also I would have LOVED a scene with them at
the end with Georgina as a human and what difference Kayla sees in her. I want to say that Carter keeps popping in
and checking on them (and sending new pony toys for the stable) to keep his vow
because what happens to him now. He has
been here this whole time to save her and that just made me feel amazing his
final endearment “Daughter of man” just made my heart swell. And last that I can think of at the
moment: Maddie and Doug. I’m glad Georgina and Doug made up and we
learned that Maddie ended up meeting someone which I’m happy about and it’s
silly but we never find out if Doug got Georgina’s old job and I wanted to make
sure the shop was in good hands!
END OF
SPOILERS!!!
Okay
so that was the does it for my thoughts on the whole series. I don’t know if
there was one thing that got me so deeply involved in this series, more so than
I have been in one for some time but I love it.
This series is one I will forever look back on with affection and love
and will re-read in the future for sure.
I can’t wait to get a few of my friends to read these so we can discus
though it will be a struggle to keep my lips sealed! I highly recommend this series!
Until
next time…
