Review: It started a bit slow to me, but that didn't last long. All of the events in this novel came full circle in a way that I wasn't expecting at all.

After I finished reading I kept thinking of all the time travel books I've read and how they generally talk about what happens if you change anything in the past and then here you get these different time lines that somehow overlap (is that the right word?) or something once time travel becomes a thing and a particular person makes the decision to save someone's life that was supposed to die.

This was really amazing, and I can't wait to read more by this author. The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is because it started slow and I thought about stopping, but in the end I'm glad that I didn't.

Review: I ended up really enjoying this as I have the books in this series, but I was honestly confused at the beginning trying to figure out what's the timeline. Thankfully it was cleared up pretty quickly.

The bad guys really messed with Robbie's mind and then put the whammy on Kelly.

As always there was never a dull moment while dealing with the residents of Green Creek, but the romance was lacking for me this time around. It seemed more tell than show.

Review: I love this love story. It's sexy, fun, and I realized that this may have been when I started to like Adam. His actions at the end of this made it where he wasn't a villain in my eyes anymore. So it humanized him.

Circenn is just the best. I've loved the other heroes prior to his story and after, but he's just it. I think once I get to the MacKelter clan I forget, but reading this book is always a blast.

I always forget that Circenn had been tasked with protecting the hallows, and I can't remember if that is significant to when the Fever series happens, but I'm always glad to rediscover the mystery and amazingness of Karen Marie Monings mind.

Review: It's the final showdown. I've loved seeing Breen come into her own throughout this series. She's had to deal with a lot from the start and here everything comes full circle.

I love that Marco was able to find his love and it made me happy that everyone wasn't putting their life on hold even though they knew that they hadn't seen the end of Odran. I just hate that we had to lose anyone that was fighting for the side of good. I hate it, but I knew that we would, there are always losses in war.

I love that Keegan pushes her to be the best she can be, and the way he declared himself was so him. I laughed when they talked about it.

I just wish we had more of an epilogue. I wanted to experience more of the good after the battle.

You're welcome!!
