Best yet in a fantastic series

I loved this book so much. I already am biased; not only do I love the series, but I love Stroud and his writing. But this was just frosting on the cake.

Lucy starts out on her own, and I like that. I like the picture it paints, with her loneliness, her dependence on the skull. The ghosts in this are fantastic, from the witch turned murderer to the cannibal... they all evoke great images and genuine fear. But the creeping shadow... wonderful! I won't spoil it, but it's ingenious.

I love that George Cubbins and Holly Munroe come front and center in this book and become characters with more depth, characters that you can relate to as well as with Lockwood and Lucy.  Even Kipps makes a victorious comeback! And Penelope Fittes... well, read the book.

As for the climax of the plot, it's fascinating. They finally get to see things they never thought to see, and it is done so well, so interestingly. I loved it from start to finish.

A fitting end to a fantastic series. In my opinion, it was the best. There was much more depth of character to both Pippa and Jensen. The authors deftly brought all the previous characters together and brought Pippa and Jensen into their large and varied clique. There was less sex but lots of sexual tension  which to me was as a pleasant surprise. I loved the book and will most likely put it on my reread list!

I have enjoyed every book in this series, but I think this was the best yet.  The issues were new to me and you could not guess what was coming next.  I highly recommend this whole series to anyone who likes suspense.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and think that it is the best in the series to date.  The author has indicated the difficulty in writing this book, but his perseverance has paid off in spades.  I initially read it through Kindle Unlimited customer, but afterwards decided to buy it outright.

Steve Maxwell continues to grow in all aspects of his life and the author's talents are similarly growing.

I eagerly await the next book in the series.

This is by far my favorite book of the series so far, I have about two or three left to read, but to date this story out shined the rest.  It didn't feel that way at first, it wasn't until I got to the end of the book that I could truly appreciate what I had read.  What makes this story so remarkable is Gillyanne's cunning and adaptive nature.  When she aquires the land between three fueding lords, she finds herself bombarded by the three men demanding she marry one of them.  Being a woman with ideas and thoughts of her own regarding marriage, she turned them down and in doing so had to face their wrath.  You will find yourself pleasantly amazed by the ways she manages to keep each suitor at bay without shedding any blood before finally giving up and choosing the best of the three.  The rest I leave up to you to discover on your own, but I truly reccomend this addition to Hannah Howell's brilliant series.  It was my favorite, and it could become yours.

From the first to the fourth in this series, I've liked each new book better than the previous one. This fourth book was the best of the bunch. I enjoyed it tremendously.

Curran and Kate played some mating games. That was fun, because I just adore Curran to pieces. I was frustrated at some point that Kate was too reluctant to give into her feelings. But that I was just proof that was invested in their story.

One of the things I liked most about this book is that we got to see deeper into the shapeshifter world, including shapeshifter mating and politics. Also, Kate's best friend Andrea became more of a real person, as did Kate's boss Ted. Although the bad guys were extra cool and scary, it was really the characters' personalities that made this book great.

In my opinion, the best of the series so far. The author's descriptions were superb, making some chapters extremely difficult to read. However, there were also many moments of joy, love, and redemption to balance the story. Recommended!

A high point in an already excellent series.  This may be the most enjoyable book in the series so far.  Humor, history, and enough plot twists that you will not be able to put it down.  No one does it better.

I'm obsessed with this series. This is by far the best one yet!

The direction this new author is taking is fantastic.  This one book has more meaningful moments and plot points than probably the last 3 combined.  The emotional high and low points are far more poignant and moving than in the rest of the series(excluding the first few).  This is the only book in the set that I've read through cover to cover since the Fires of Heaven.  I was right there with all the other fans painfully trudging through Winter's Heart and Crossroads, cursing Jordan for flushing such a great series down the drain.

I'm ecstatic to see that Sanderson is giving the series' original spirit the ending that it was due.  I look eagerly forward to the next installment as the epic finally builds to its inevitable conclusion.

This is the sixth book in the series and every book has been better than the one before. This is the best one yet. I can't wait for book 7. Eye opening and very informative and you can see the things in the book starting to take shape at this very moment. Not a novel but a true prophecy of things to come in the near future.

This is my favorite book in the series to date. If you are looking for a phenomenal read and an author who can keep you turning pages then you have found one. Mrs. Dannan will entertain you with quotes that will have you saying "Great Paddy" and laughing so hard you will not want to be drinking anything that will come through your nose while reading. This series is full of love, hate, sex ( I so love peanut butter now), vampires staked with a mere toothpick, sexy dancing elves, fire starting half witch/ half sex demon women, a vampire who is also a romance novelist, inter-dimensional assassins, kids that would make any mom proud, great music, and a love that spans dimensions. That is just the tip of the iceberg as far as what this world that Mrs. Dannan invites us into has to offer.

Absolutely fantastic story. I feel that the two Nicolai books really are the best in the series. There is a ton of mob action in this one. As a reader you really get to see how the underworld operates and what it means to be a boss. You also get to see the effect that has on the characters romantic relationship. This book really illustrates having to come to terms with what you can and can't live with. There are very few sex scenes in this book in comparison to some of the others, but they were well written, well placed breaks needed from all the mob action. I am looking forward to the future books and would love to Vivian take on more of leadership type role among the women and social events nurturing the soldiers.

I didn't think I could love this series any more but this has by far and away been my favourite so far. All games changed here. Suddenly, along with Holly and her crew I see hope as an option in this bleak, hostile and apocalyptic world. There were battles a plenty, but the human force of nature came through yet again. With some major surprises and revelations in store for the entire team, it is still the interactions between the team and it's increasing allies that powers these books forwards. Holly is single minded in her nature to protect and improve lives, and starts off single handed on a mission to rescue Case from the militia group. She makes one very smart decision and that is take Maisie, the Ai egg, probably one of my most favourite aspects of this book. I'm saying no more, you have to read it. One breath taking, gut wrenching, fast paced adventure that I adored. Am waiting impatiently on the next instalment.

This is the fourth book of the series, and in my view, it is the best yet.  To me it looks like Mr. Pearson took the plotting of this book very seriously, not allowing it to become overburdened with details and keeping the story moving (my criticisms of the third book) and kept it consistent and sensible (my criticism of the first book).  (I liked the second quite a bit; I thought that was well done.)

In this story, it seems like the Keepers themselves are being compromised in some way, and when they discover that a couple of new evil Overtakers have taken over the leadership of that group, they learn why:  the Evil Queen (from Snow White) can cast spells.  And the OT's can now access the DHI servers and can become DHI's themselves.  And they have a plan, and the Keepers are having trouble ascertaining exactly what they're trying to do.  The OT's are keeping the Keepers off balance with recruits from their high school and with continual wrenches thrown into their best efforts to guard the Kingdom.

The story takes a logical and welcome step forward with the addition of the "good" Disney characters, who will hopefully play a major role in the next book (which has been out in hardcover for some time now), and I look forward to reading further in the series.  I've known that Mr. Pearson is a very good writer from reading a few of his adult novels, and was waiting for that talent to manifest in this young adult series.  It has done so in this book, I feel.

Quite possibly the best book in the series yet. At first I had thought that the story of Brrr, aka "The Cowardly Lion" would be a boring one. Boy was I wrong!!!!!!! This was a page turner from beginning to end, and like this Harry Potter series I couldn't put it down. No it is onto Rain's story, as I am ready to go "Out of Oz".

Could hardly wait to read it and was not disappointed. I think this book was the best yet. I loved the characters, the twists and of course the touch of romance. I have read all 6 of the books and can hardly wait for the next one. If you have not read this series you are really missing out on a great read.
