*4,5 stars*
For me, this is one of best paranormal series I’ve read.
And this is the sparkling finale to crown it all.
Jenn Burke’s universe is totally captivating, and she had me sucked into it right from book 1. Hudson and Wes are both multi-layered and complex characters I ached for and laughed with, but most of all, they and their story grabbed my heart and imagination.
I loved the light-heartedness in this book, the love and banter in the family Wes and Hudson have created.
I loved the trust between them, the way they care and support each other.
I loved how both, Hudson and Wes grow in character and take on new responsibilities and challenges.
I loved how their relationship grows and gets stronger.
But then there is sadness, too. Heart break and tough decisions. And yes, tears were shed quietly. Not something that happens too often.
The plot keeps you on the edge of your seat with all those little twists and turns and gets pretty intense in the later stages of the book. But I think one of the best things in this series are the fabulously drawn secondary characters. I know them all. I remember their names. I can see each of them as individual characters. And that says a lot, I think!
Please also read Simone's review which totally nails what I feel, too.
Then you’ll know why I can only highly recommend this!

Thanks for mentioning me, but people don't need to read my review, yours is PERFECT, Ariana. Love it! 😍😘 I agree to 100%, except that I've been a bit louder probably. I sobbed!!! 🤦♀️I was still hoping that there would be a miracle. 😫

Loved how you brought the feels out in your review. My foggy, sleep-deprived mind (--->🐶) couldn't quite get it right there! 😁 After so many miracles it hit double as hard that there was no solution in that case. 😥 But I think it would have been too rosy if it had ended otherwise.
Thanks Simone! 😘

You know I've been following your reviews about this series :-) So glad that it went well all along.
Not my usual trope but it looks so tempting.

Thank you so much, Christelle! This is a totally worthwhile series. I loved pretty much everything about it. It's original and the Mcs are wonderfully imperfect! I'd very much recommend it! I think Simone would second that! 😉😊😘
