This was an okay series...until the end. What a disappointment.
First, the good stuff:
There are about half the amount of grammatical errors, but enough to be frustrating. But less is definitely better!
Dylan: love that boy!
Oh shoot, that is almost all for the good stuff. Oh! And the cover comes closer to contents of the book.
Next, the frustrating parts:
Recycled story lines: How many times can Jess get kidnapped? She was kidnapped twice by the same guy and twice was drugged then kidnapped. Geez. Jess said, “I’m really sick of getting kidnapped.” Trust me, Jess, so are we.
The atonement of Vivian, aka Lucy, aka Awful Mother of the Year award recipient: This is the mother that manipulated and blamed her daughter. Sent her on a bus to Hanley territory without a phone, no money, not many clothes, no forewarning to her father she was coming, who told her daughter she wished she’d gotten an abortion. Into Hanley territory. And NOW she’s concerned and wants to protect her? By checking out Dom at first sight (his scent should be all over the place) drugging and kidnapping her? And we should buy her concern now, why? Mother coming in to save the day was unbelievable, a really far stretch, at least, the plot too easy. And then her and Hank? Gag.
The final scene before the billion epilogues: Confusing who got shot first. I thought the guy shot Caleb. Nope. He shot Jess to distract Caleb. So confusing until it got back to Jess’ POV. Then, shot, she gets the gun away from the shooter. No. That wouldn’t happen. Nope. Then she’s joking around and chillin’ at the end as she’s slowly bleeding out for, like, an hr watchin’ Trent and Anna make the moves on each other, etc, admiring the mom for being one heck of a woman, etc. Just pass out from blood loss and adrenaline drop already!
Lost storylines: Leah who? She seemed like she would take a greater role, but no she drops out completely until the epilogues. Forget she existed.
Pack unity: so everyone accepts Anna immediately as alpha? The traditional pack. Caleb was too young, but Anna is just right? They’re the same age, same level of experience! No, wait, Anna has less. I’m all for giving Anna the reigns at some point, but the transition was way too smooth.
Character growth: this flatlines. No growth whatsoever. Jess is exactly the same, though she says she’s matured because she holds back a retort from her mother. No, Jess, that one act does not make you and adult now.
Epilogues: epilogue, after epilogue, after epilogue. I understand having one. But this was ridiculous!
All-in-all a bad ending to a series. 3 books later and no hea, just a hfn (unless you take into account the many epilogues). After reading the ending I couldn’t recommend this series.
