I strongly suggest you read the two previous books (Tainted and Torn) before reading this book.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a super fast read for me, solely because Lily dispensed an excessive amount of internal-dialogue. There are very few authors who can successfully carry-out continual internal-dialogue throughout a novel and still keep my attention. However, having skipped through much of the internal-dialogue scenes didn't make this book any less enjoyable for me.

The story was chock-full of danger and excitement, a plethora of twists and turns, an abundance of intense action/fighting scenes and edge-of-your-seat apocalyptic events. Besides the internal-dialogue sections, this book didn't have a second to waste! Lily's dominating character is passionate, loyal, strong and fierce. This alpha-female literally has the weight of the world on her shoulders. She walks a fine line and fights a constant battle between reveling and surrendering to the darkness and cruelty of the powerful all consuming demon essence inside her; in contrary to her determination to achieve the aspirations for righteousness in her heart and her perpetual desire for ascension to be unsullied and virtuous.

This last installment did wrap up the series but it also left a window for future books, if the powers-that-be decide to expand this series. This trilogy was my first exposure to Julie Kenner. Although, I won't be reading her Tales of a Demon Hunting Soccer Mom series, however, in the future, if Julie put out another trilogy such as this one, in all likelihood I would probably read it.

As I've mentioned in my review of book one of this trilogy, I still didn't particularly care for this books affirmation of the Christianity version of faith and god. I don't usually read books that affirm any one particular religion; however, regardless of the non-preachy religious aspect, I still enjoyed this trilogy. I highly recommend this trilogy to fellow dark urban fantasy readers.

I also recommend:

As with any trilogy you will need the read the first two books in the series Tainted and Torn in order to understand what is happening in Turned.

Lily can no longer be a spy for the light, every demon knows who she is and what is hanging around her neck, the Oris Clef, which gives her the ability to control all of them. However, there are some very powerful demons that will do anything to get Oris Clef, even just chopping off Lily's head to take it. As Lily and Deacon battle the demons who want to kill Lily, they are also on the search for the third key which has the ability to close the portal between earth and the demon world for good.

This book takes place right after the second book ends, there is no gap in time and really time is something that Lily does not have, therefore you really do need to read the two previous books for this series. It is not a stand alone read.

This is my least favorite book in the series, (minus the fact that this is the last book in the series as I have enjoyed it so far), I felt that this book lacked the plot and mystery of the first two books. The way that the plot flowed in this book did not work for me.The book was on a constant rotating theme of try to find the third key but where to look for the third key, maybe here, no here, well maybe there isn't a third key, oh lets go fight some demons. Additionally the villains in this book were not as scary as they were in the first two and there was no surprise aspect in the book, therefore, there was not very much suspense or mystery in the book, as this is the final book in the series I felt that the reader knew what was going to happen.

The saving point of this book is the characters. I have liked the characters throughout all three books especially Lily as she struggles with who she has become, the demon powers that she has obtained (but even those were down played in this book) as well as the decision that must make. She knows that she wants to save the world, but an eternity of torture is one that will put anyone off from making that decision. I think that Lily's hesitation to make this decision is very real, and her hope and belief that there is a third key that will lock and close the gate is a natural progression. I like that Lily has to fight her demon side and the struggle she has with having the Oris Clef around her neck which is forever taunting her to rule and there are times that Lily really considers it, she believes that she will be able to control the demons and save the world that way.

Although this was not the best book in the series, and I think the weakest of the three, I still really enjoyed this series and the first two books make up for this one not being as good as I wanted it to be. This is the only series that I have read by Kenner but based upon this one I would read her other series as well.

Enjoy!!!(less)

As far as this series, well,it is a completed series, so that is good and I would read it simply for that, but that is about all it has going for it. The story line has no zing to it and I feel no attachment at all to the character or the would-be romance. It all seems so "been there...". So, read it just for something new to read.

The epic battle between good and evil was rushed, and the culmination of three books' of "will her demonic side win out at the end/will Deacon be redeemed/will the Apocalypse finally reign down?" was rather disappointing. The secret of the one who betrayed her was actually slightly surprising because Kenner led the author in a particular direction for the first two-thirds of the book, but it felt, when revealed, like she changed her mind last minute and didn't make the rest of the narrative fit.

I wanted more from the conclusion to this series. I wanted there to be more of a struggle with Lily's growing demonic soul. I got a little of the hesitation "did he or didn't he" with Deacon possibly turning back to the old team, but once we realized that true love conquers all, he seemed to flip back and forth between demon and human in a manner that might be labeled "cavalier" even while Kenner had Lily point out it was asking him to sacrifice his chance at redemption each time. In the end, Lily sacrifices herself, but I was hoping for something moving along the lines of Buffy in "The Gift" - instead it was a "well, I was screwed since the get-go, might as well kill myself to save everyone" and she was rewarded with a sudden rushed "yay, everything is back to normal and we've avoided the Apocalypse! Go Team Lily!"

There are hopes for a sequel, and Kenner did seem to deal with smaller plots better than with overarching ones. The from-left-field "hey, Lucas Johnson is your dad" is an example of the undeveloped threads that dangle from the Big Plotty Bit. If there is more to the "Lily, Deacon & Rose fight crime and demons on the mean streets", I would actually give it a try - in the hopes that when an apocalypse isn't nigh, Kenner can get back to the funnier, more well-written adventures of the body-switching sisters and the demon-who-would-be-an-angel. In the meantime, I'll pretend this one was better so as to justify making others read the first two.(less)

It is impossible to review this book without including spoilers for the previous two books. The plot summary will also make a lot more sense if the reader is familiar with the first two books.

At the opening of this book, Lily Carlyle has obtained the Oris Clef and now faces an agonizing decision about the coming convergence. Should she wield the Oris Clef and become the demon queen (and thereby attempt to avert the apocalypse even though giving herself over to evil) or should she sacrifice herself to an eternity of suffering by throwing herself into the portal to Hell when it opens, which according to the angel Gabriel will permanently seal the portal? Instead, in the days leading up to the portal opening, Lily and Deacon, a demon seeking redemption, search for another legendary key – one that can lock all nine of the portals to Hell.

Deacon saves Lily and Rose, who is now in Kiera’s body, from Penemue, his former master, although he has to retake his demon form to do so. Lily is able to talk Deacon back to his human form, and together they go to Father Carleton’s (he was a character in the first book) church to see if one of his colleagues has any knowledge of the key. Lily does get a lead from an old monk, and in the days that follow, Lily finds out some shocking information about both Alice’s mother and her own father. In the end, she and Deacon face the opening of the portal and overcome the forces of Hell (that shouldn’t qualify as a spoiler; it was kind of a given that they would succeed).

I like that facts and elements of the story that were included/revealed in earlier books were relevant to the overall story and were tied into the action in this one. It made for a nice overall cohesive story, that was clearly well-thought out and well-plotted.

I also liked that all three of the female characters – Lily, Rose, and Rachel – faced their personal issues and overcame them during the course of the books. I find strong female characters very appealing.

I did have a slight problem with the consequences of Lily’s actions during the final battle; a very similar combination of action/consequence occurred on a popular TV show. While reading up to the final battle, I was really hoping that this book would not take the same route, and unfortunately it did.

I also wish that demon possession was better explained. How can they possess people? Is there any way to resist? There were times when having a demon possess one of the characters (if they could) would have been the smart thing for the demons to do, and yet they didn’t do it. They possessed others instead.

Overall, though, I very much enjoyed this book and will definitely be looking for other books by Julie Kenner.

The convergence is coming, when hell's gates will open, spilling out hordes of demons onto the Earth. Lily is the linchpin in the schemes of both Good and Evil, the “Prophecy Girl” who must choose between two fates: becoming queen of the demons, or locking the gates at the cost of her own eternal torment. Lily knows which path she must choose, but darned if queendom doesn't sound a lot more appealing than burning in hell forever...

Yet there might be a third way... There are legends of a lost key that could lock the gates without requiring Lily's sacrifice. She's all for this, naturally, and so she searches for it, with the help of her evil-smiting “team”: Deacon, Lily's demonic lover; Rose, Lily's sister; and Rachel, Alice Purdue's sister. But our heroes are running out of time.

The plot is filled with suspense and emotion; the reader feels Lily's mounting sense of panic as the time for her terrible choice draws near, and the chaos in the streets of Boston as the demonic legions begin their conquest. Along the way, Kenner incorporates lots of little “Chekhov's Guns” from earlier in the series (remember Alice's knife tattoo?) and ties all of her plot threads together well.

I've thoroughly enjoyed this series, from its twisting plot to its unlikely heroine and the terrible decisions she faces. I don't know if Kenner plans to continue The Blood Lily Chronicles; the ending of Turned leaves the reader satisfied, but leaves the door open to further stories. I can say, though, that I recommend these three installments to fans of fast-paced urban fantasy with a dark edge.

The prose is uncomplicated, which makes for a quick read. I tend to like it a bit “purpler,” but your mileage may vary. And an ornate style probably wouldn't have suited Lily's voice anyway.

And by the way, might I mention an aspect of the romantic subplot that's really refreshing? Lily knows who she wants and loves. Throughout her story, supernatural forces induce her to become attracted to several other characters, but she realizes it's just the magic talking, and that she doesn't have to act on it.

He wants to control all the demons on the Earth that have crossed over, as well as ruling the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, where untold demons would then cover the Earth. It’s up to Lily to stop him, and as long as she has the Oris Clef, the key to lock the Ninth Gate of Hell, she can succeed. But Lily also has the choice to become the queen of all the demons on Earth. This unholy urge builds steadily inside of her to the point she wants to give in.

Lily’s world has been turned upside down over the past few months. Not only has she been killed and inhabited a new body, but her sister Rose, who was raped by a demon, is also now living in a new skin. There are not many they can trust, even though Deacon, a demon living as a human wants to help Lily. He also grapples with his dark side and longs to claim Lily as his own. These three team up and hide in the shadows, much like their enemies who stalk them and try to stop Lily from accomplishing her mission.

Time is of the essence and with only hours left until Armageddon arrives, Boston will become a bloody war zone. It all lies on Lily’s shoulders to be the ultimate winner. If she loses, not only will her life be forfeit, but billion of lives will also be at sake.

Turned is the third and final book in the Blood Lily Chronicles by Julie Kenner. Fans of the first two books will be anxious to see if the world will be safe from the demons of Hell. There are many supernatural elements, action and fight scenes.

Lily is a very strong willed and mature heroine who has so much to deal with. She tries to take everything in stride but still has doubts about her abilities. She loves dearly, especially her sister Rose who has been damaged in so many ways, but has walked through the fire and has survived.

With that in mind I felt the beginning and end had merit, but the middle sagged in such a way where I was close to not finishing. It felt like Julie was having a hard time trying to keep the momentum going and was backed into a corner trying to figure out that best way to reach the point where the final battle occurs. There is a great deal of dialogue between the characters that tries to explain everything that has happened up to this point, and even though it is needed, I found myself becoming a bit bored by it all. I also felt that the romance between Lily and Deacon was tacked on and the one scene where they have sex was written as an after thought. It just didn’t fit and it seemed really out of place. Things do pick up again in the final few chapters but by that point I was very disinterested by it all.

The best word to use when describing Turned is “meh”.

This paranormal just didn’t work for me. It was okay but didn’t have that spark it should have. But again, if you like warrior type heroines with an ends of days scenario, you’ll probably enjoy Turned.(less)

I devoured the first two books that I borrowed from the library then I had to run out and buy the third book entitle Turned. This is one of those series that you HAVE to read in order and all to understand what is going on.

So my thoughts on the 3rd book, Turned? Amazing as the other 2 books. After reading the first two Lily’s actions and thoughts are very scattered which seemed confusing at first I had to remind myself where Lily has come from throughout this storyline. At the opening of this book, Lily Carlyle has obtained the Oris Clef and now faces an agonizing decision about the coming convergence. She has to make one choice: 1) Sacrifice herself to save the entire world or 2) become the Queen of the demons that she is fighting while struggling with this decision. Is she ready to die after all the fighting she has done or can she live forever causing misery upon the Earth? Lily and Deacon spend the first three quarters of the book searching for the last key that will lock all nine of the portals to Hell.

This story is fast paced and full of action. Kenner writes Lily’s inner struggle wonderfully. There is a huge shocker about Lucas Johnson (if you read the other 2 books, you know this is the guy who started us on this journey with Lily and her sister). I definitely will not spoil that surprise!! I also liked that Deacon and Lily finally explore their relationship on the romantic side (I won’t spoil that one either for you! It will make you happy though when you read it).
Now the final 2 chapters caught me off guard and I got so aggravated when I thought the second to last chapter was the final one. I kept telling myself there was no way Kenner could end it like this, not after all the struggle through all three books to torture us the way the chapter was going. When I discovered there was one more chapter, I was relieved. If you have read any of my reviews in the past you know I have a tendency to be disappointed with the way books end most of the time. This is the rare occasion where I was satisfied with the ending but of course it is left open to maybe a sequel (ok, maybe I am just wishfully thinking/hoping).

I highly recommend these books and the whole series. Just remember to read them from the beginning so you don’t get lost and you get to fall in love with all the characters!(less)

The entire series was...pretty good, but poorly edited. I found several errors in the text that just plain bothered me. Living in Boston, I was upset that Kenner used terms such as "the Flats" and "Boarhurst" instead of real areas in Boston. (hint, there are no FLATS here).

The premise was good and far darker than her "California Demon" series. The language, the lust, the sensuality drew me in and made this less of a fluff book and more of a thought provoking book.

This book did much to redeem the story line. It followed hard on the heels of the previous book, and gave our heroine more depth and power, while allowing us to share in her struggle not to be overcome by the dark forces.

She has her sisters, she has her man. She loses her sisters. She loses her man. She has power. She loses power.
