Recommendation: 👍👍👍👍 - (Out of 5 👍)
It was announced by Carrie Ann Ryan that she was bringing this series to a close. I took my time reading, absorbing, and enjoying every wonderful morsel of the story that brings a well deserved closure for some of my all time favorite characters. Ryan has written an emotionally heartfelt and beautiful ending to the Aspen Pack storyline. I have been with many of these characters from the beginning, as far back as the start of the Redwood Pack, and they all become beloved friends and family members. Even though Ryan has said this is the end she alludes to the possibility of a brand new beginning, someday, for the secondary characters with loose ends.
The Aspen Pack has a storied history that dates back to their former Alpha. Many who survived his leadership did not come out unscathed and carry physical as well as emotional scars. Pack enforcer Steele has lived through the torture and death of many of his friends and family. Because of this, he refuses to bond and claim his mate. His enforcer ties to this pack mates creates numerous complications that could bring death to a mate should something go wrong. It is too heave a burden to bear.
Jade is a very powerful fire witch. She carries with her her own secrets and a past that is just as painful as Steele's. Like Steele, she has no desire to bond with her mate but when unforeseeable circumstances arise, she is forced to solidify their connection and reveal her secret to save his life and the life of their pack members.
This story is the epic conclusion to the battle that has been building between the shifter, human, coven alliance and their evil demon, vampire, hybrid foes. We finally learn who the traitor is that has been working with Malphas. We find out what happens with the traitor Lily. The ending of this story was a roller coaster ride of filled with so many emotions. I am pleased to know the four packs may finally find the much needed peace and rest they all have earned.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
