Angel Town (Jill Kismet, #6)

If you aren't caught up on this series I would advise you to avoid anything about this book as it will spoil the ending from the last one. And what an ending it was! When I read it I was furious with it, but understood why Jill did what she did.
Her waking up in a grave and clawing her way out was sure a bang up way to start this book out! I really felt like the first quarter of the book was confusing, but that was to be expected. Jill was confused herself and we were taking the path with her. She wasn't sure who or what she was, but with each clue her past slowly started coming back. I loved how different things would cause her to know, her guns and actions so ingrained in her, like fighting among my favorite. I worried for her thought, how much damage was done to her and was she really herself.
It seemed like all of her friends had some of those same worries for her, but they accepted her back with open arms. When I learned what had happened to Saul I wanted to cry. Their reunion was great, but because of what happened Saul now has some series issue with letting Jill out of his sight. This brought about some big fights with them and Jill is forced on a couple of different times to just let Saul know how much he means to her. Something I loved, because I know she loves him, but she has a hard time letting him know. I know Saul knows this, but he needed to hear it.
I thought it was interesting where Jill got help from. It really makes a person think, especially where Jill is concerned.
I also thought the big show down with Perry was great. It has needed to happen from book one, but as we learn it has needed to happen for a lot long than that. The past comes into play here and not just Jill's. She does learn some interesting facts about her mentor. I am not sure what I think about what she learned, part of me understands what he did, the other is so angry that he pushed that off on Jill.
I loved the ending, it was great! Through out the books Jill has had to pay a high price and this time was no different. She had to go in blind faith that her actions would stop things and know she couldn't keep her promise to Saul. But in her actions she would keep him safe so it was ok.
I am sad that this series is over with. It has been one of my favorites to read, so dark, yet there was hope there. I loved the author's thoughts at the end. It was great for her to describe what her thoughts when writing the series and gave me a better understanding of why she did what she did.

Great review. I have this book and am looking forward to reading it. I have read all of the previous books and have really enjoyed the series so far. I am glad to know that you liked this installment so much. Maybe I will push it toward to the top of my to-read list.

Thanks Eva! I would definitely say to push this one up. Also if possible try to make it a time when you can read it all in one sitting because you will want to.
I just have too many books to read and not enough time. I can't resist getting the new releases for series that are favs, but it seems like I never have enough time to read them. I have a few others that were released recently that I haven't started yet.
