A great end to the series...but with a few...future possibilities? I wonder...and will beg, plead and hint til there's more!

This is the 4th and final instalment in the BS series and can be read as a standalone, but, as other characters from previous books make the odd appearance, and as the epilogue is a catch-up of leads present and past, it's best to read the books in order.

It runs pretty true to the blurb, so I won't repeat any of that, but what the blurb doesn't convey are the emotions in this tale, the sexiness and the hot, seriously sexy scenes, the terrible things that Connor experienced and the losses that turned Zane into the closed-off person he came across as, and the feeling of warmth the tale ended with. I loved that Connor was able to say the L-word openly and without any expectation of hearing it back, and that he threw himself into the relationship, though Zane had already defined that it would never go beyond a few sexual encounters. I loved that both guys opened up to each other, but not in a sappy way, and that each found strength in each other, and that their relationship was equal in every way.

The epilogue is split into two, some 6 months after the start of their HEA and 8 years into their HEA, and for me, it was the icing on the cake. I'm lucky enough to be a beta reader for SK and had been begging her for at least one wedding, and boy, did she deliver.

This book ends the series beautifully, but I live in hope that like the BS series was a spin-off of the Escort series, there may be a spin-off of the BS series - and I can tell you that SK hasn't said no, though she likes to tease and hasn't quite said yes. And yes, I will continue to beg, hint and suggest, rest assured.

Disclaimer: I am lucky enough to be a beta-reader for SK, but no payment was requested or offered in return for this honest review, the words of which are entirely my own.

A nice ending to a great series. I am confused by the epilogue. It makes you think that more will come. I would love to see what else could happen with these 4 kings and queens. And what happened with Jack and Pearl during all of this? I enjoyed the fact that the two mains were able to connect even with the memory wipe and the journey to get it back.

While it was sad to see the end of these books, I loved the ending. It was just as Oddy would have wanted it. But...I would have loved to have seen that 3 minute "battle" from Odd's new home!!

What an ending to the mystery of the Seven Sisters Series! I understand there may be another, but as for now many questions have been answered, and only the future lay ahead!

I really enjoyed the finale to this series! I thought the ending was fulfilling and appropriate for the series, despite some of the losses that were suffered. Looking forward to what Rick comes out with next!

Page turner, just like the other two! Maybe a tad more "what's going to happen next?!" in this one than the other two.

A good end to the series.

I could be a bit sad to see this series come to an end. That having been said, the feeling that it was rushed, noted in other reviews, is understandable. It just wrapped up a bit too tidy and much too fast. The good part of this ending was, the door was left open. I love Richelle Mead and have followed her work for a while. She "GETS IT"- her fans follow these series because we love the characters and the story lines. The ending dedications of this book gave us the hope that Sydney and Adrian could return with Rose, Dimitri and the rest of the crew.
It's been a wonderful ride, but - for now - it's done. (Emphasis on the "for now") You've got to love an author that "GETS IT"! We're not her fans - from the root fanatics - for nothing! Keep those stories coming Richelle - your loyal fan-atics await.

I loved the ending but, is it the ending for all?  This series has been very entertaining to read I do hope that there will be more in the future.

The conclusion to an amazing trilogy, but maybe after Drew finishes the third The Old Republic book (hasn't been named at the time of this post) he might see about continuing this great series.  A lot of deception, very interesting fights, misunderstandings... what more do Sith followers want? ;p

Nooooo, Mr. Fowler why did you end it there and leave us hanging on like this...AGAIN??!!
Now how do you expect us to wait for your release of book 5 at this point?!  I almost wished you would not have given us the book 5 teaser, if you were going to end it like you did!  SMILE!!
I don't know how we are going to wait...but you have left us no choice!  Please hurry and release the next book in this awesome series!

This was a really satisfying ending (?!) to a beloved series.  I look forward to revisiting it when the next generation comes along :)

I finished the entire series in a matter of days, allowing myself to be completely consumed by this world, the characters, everything.

I am sad to say that I am disappointed with the ending (which is why I cannot give 5 stars). I feel as though it was rushed, I wanted and needed more. I know she is coming out with other novels, and I know Freyre ad Rhys story is over - but I do hope in the next books we still catch glimpses of them from other characters perspectives. I need more of them.

PLEASE SARAH, PLEASE include them and give us updates on them in the next books. This feels incomplete - their story, as well as, many of the loose ends of the other characters. I would like to see Lucien, Cassian, and more Az in the next books. They need happy endings too!!

As with the previous 12 books in this series, this one was thought-out like the old-time (1930's and 1940's) Saturday movie theater serials.  Suspense, tension, drama, humor, etc. all wrapped into a progressively cliff-hanging experience. There is a lot of action and point, counter-point dialogue. Unfortunately, this was to be the last of the Destroyer-men series, but it did not come to a conclusion! I truly hope there is a fourteenth book that DOES wrap-up the series. Major plot items need conclusion, such as:  What is the fate of the Grik? What is the culmination of hundreds of prior pages about the war with the evil perverts of the Dominion?; What happens to the slimy, underhanded, back-stabbing League of Tripoli??

Ohhh!!! A cliffhanger ending... Why? Now we have to wait a gazillion years to know what goes on, it's so unfair!!! But really, this book contains all the elements that readers of this series have learned to appreciate with each book: The sexual tension, the well-developed fights, Kaylin's constant incomprehension of what is going on while she finds herself in the eye of the storm, etc. I only wish that this book had had the big finales all the others did, since for me it was evident that the story was building up to a pretty spectacular ending, and to be left with so little was a bit depressing. At least there should have been an Author's Note alerting us readers that this one wasn't going to be like the usual stuff!!!
Still, a great read for those who like the series, guess we'll just have to be patient and wait for the next one.

Now I find myself sad as to not know what happens to Eddie and Daisy as they grow up.  I want to know if Daisy did become a doctor, if Benjy went off to do theater, if Eddie became something big or went back to the farm.  I want to know it all....so sad that it's over!

Any chance there might be another book in the works?  I just totally love this family!

This is a great series -- it hasn't spun out of control like the Anita Blake series.  It is well worth reading and a worthy continuation of the story that has been a long time coming.

My only disappointments were the incessant "I love you more" dialog; and the ending.  I won't give it a way -- it it tied things off as tying off goes, and it set things up for the awesome continuation of the story -- but it seemed ... sudden, truncated, rushed?  Like you leave one scene wondering "how did she know that" and the next, the story's over with  some hasty-feeling summary of events that, themselves, are momentous and story-worthy.

Come on!  I wanted to know about what happened to the King when he left the dream.  But I suppose the event has no frame without Merry in it.  That's too bad, I suppose.
