Oh, great ending to the series, and how everything came together, though I do wish we could've seen her dad at the end, that would've been nice, and yeah, just a great book! ...more

This final installment in the Unearthly series left me still wanting more!

I have been devouring this series, and I can't remember when I last read a series where all my reading plans went out the window because I just HAD to keep reading! This series is totally binge-worthy, and there's something to be said for not having to wait for the next book.

I have been devouring this series, and I can't remember when I last read a series where all my reading plans went out the window because I just HAD to keep reading! This series is totally binge-worthy, and there's something to be said for not having to wait for the next book.

The book starts off with Clara's vision that she's been having all summer ever since her trip to Italy with Angela. In it, she is afraid because something terrible has happened. The floor is slanted, but she doesn't recognize where she is.

Clara is still dealing with the aftermath of her mom's death. She is thankful that she has Billy around but is worried about going to Stanford in the Fall. Having Billy around makes her feel closer to her mom because of all the memories that Billy and her mom shared, having been friends for so long. Clara also misses Jeffrey, who is staying away because of his role in the fires.

So this is it - where finally all is revealed about Clara's purpose. Everything starts to come together once Angela and Clara go to Stanford in the Fall. I don't want to say too much about what happened to keep this spoiler-free, but I could not put this book down! I have a bit of a book hangover because I'm so sad to see one of my favourite series come to an end. I want more! While I am happy for Clara that she got what she wanted in the end, that's not the ending that I wanted. The author reveals on her Goodreads page that she plans to release a novella from Christian's point of view, so I'll be snapping that up as soon as it's published!

This series gave me all the feels. I love paranormal books and, for me, angels are such a rarity in the books that I read. It was something different for me, and I just loved everything about Hand's angelbloods. I loved the importance of family and how that was a constant across all of the books, and how also family isn't just blood. Our friends can be our family, too. The romantic triangle between Tucker, Clara, and Christian worked with each boy offering something different to Clara so she really did have an impossible decision because no matter who she chose she would still lose a piece of her heart to the other. This is a series that I really treasure. Normally, I donate my books after I have read them but I am hanging on to these ones!

Because of this series, this author is now an auto-buy for me! I can't wait to read more of her work.

Honestly? Too much Stanford, not enough kissing! Clara is giving living a normal life the old college try (har, har). But of course, things are not that simple. All of her visions are starting to lead to one Big Event. She's still torn between Tucker and Christian. The ending was good, but she didn't end up with who I wanted her to. But overall, a satisfying conclusion. ...more

This was the perfect ending to an amazing trilogy. I don't know if Cynthia will continue the work in this series (maybe from a different POV, Jeffrey's or Christian's, I hope) or if this is the end. But if it is, it was the only one I could have imagined.
Congratulations for your amazing work, Cynthia! ...more
