The whole series is pretty much boring. Why, oh why do writers insist on writing supernatural romance if they are just going to neglect the supernatural part?
The characters were one dimensional.
Cassie
This was my face the whole book.

NOT IMPRESSED.
She is a Mary Sue - a bitchy one in fact.

Ranjit
Also known as Gary Stu.

Yup. Yawn indeed. Ranjit is a very boring character with no depth. He's probably there to act as Cassie's arm candy. Speaking of Cassie, their so called chemistry is forced and their...more

In the beginning of this series, by feeling for Cass were kinda like:

But now, when it has reached its end and I have to part ways with her, I'm all like:

The series ended with a bang - people come back to life, sacrifices are made, people die that you wish hadn't (*sniffs*), cute couples and gorgeous architecture is flaunted from some of the world's most beautiful historical sites. A mix of mythology and the paranormal, this book is a thrilling conclusion to the series :)

2.5 stars.
Slightly better than the previous ones in matter of conflict, damage, stakes, but
- Cassie is still a bitch.
- Ranjit is still boring as all hell.
- The vampires, while creative, are still boring and pretty much one dimentional.
- The main meta conflict is still pointless and boring.
- The main character and others suffer from a major MAJOR bout of plot-convenient stupidity.
It all feels rushed, as if the author had discovered she can't stand the book any more and wants to be done with the...more

There's a fourth book?!
The start was a bit boring but it started to get interesting. I found Cassie stupid with her decision with the artifacts. I don't like the fact that my favorite character died too. All in all, I'm happy everyone is happy. The series is now finished, everyone has a happily ever after (except for my favorite character who just had to die)
