An emotional end to an amazing story.

I'm not sure where to begin. If you've read any of these books (or the parallel series, focused on Rylee),  you'll understand the roller-coaster ride of emotions this penultimate book brings to the table.  I thouroghly enjoyed the read, and (as is proper for an epic saga) feel wrung out and slightly numb now that I've finished it. Truly inspired storytelling by Shannon Mayer.

This is fantastic ending to an amazing story, the series is one of my favorite, I love that is so different from every book that out there; Tonys and other character point of view is interesting, and really completes the story, I'm so sad it over, but looking forward to read much more from Aleatha!!!!!

You are right about this not being for the faint of heart. I almost couldn't finish & I know I cried several times. I don't want to give too much away but this is a great ending to a great series. I'm so glad Quay got his in the end. I'm also glad that through everything Romeo, Shayla, liberty, Apollo, Kim & Desmond remained together.

The end of a fabulous work of art.  It is never easy when you come to the end of a journey and have to say goodbye to a world you have spent much time walking in. The feeling I got when the series ended was the same as I felt when I read the words "Mooring" in Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising.  Colin's adventure put me in the book and that is one of the best praises I can ever give a novel or series. From the amazing beginning to the thrill packed titanic battles going back and forth to the drawing close last heartbeat of a beloved character or two Colin has accomplished telling the story of his world with a zest of literary life and poise that matches any of the best in the genre.  Also like Clancy and Larry Bond, Colin Gee is one hell of a guy who is willing to talk with his fans and readers, discusses his work, and makes you really feel like you are a part of the world he created while you are walking in it.  The whole atmosphere surrounding this series is great and even the sadness that the end has come still has an upbeat feeling of knowing you were part of a great story.

We have come to the end of the road for Andrew and Alyssa.  Although I hated seeing this story  come to an end there was two main things I loved most. First, We finally got the fully story behind  Andrews past. All I can say is, prepare your self case its truly heart breaking! An secondly, Alyssa finally grew some balls and stands up for what she wants! And everyone feels her wrath, Its truly a joy to see!

This was the first series by Ms Williams Ive read, but I can assure you it won't be the last.

5++ for Volume 3 as well as the entire series.

Yep, I cried- I did. Nope, I'm not ashamed to admit it. Why, you ask? Because, it's the end. The last book of an absolutely phenomenal series, by an amazing author. You see, I have been following Chelle since the beginning. Way back when she released Untangle Me- I was a fan. Right from the start. And I have faithfully read every book that she has given us since then. They have all been spectacular. But this series- it's been wonderful. This family- they've woven themselves into my heart. The Gallo clan, is quite simply- pure love and family, with no reservations.
So, to have the story end with Anthony was quite fitting. He was the last of the Gallos to fall, the last to succumb to the siren song of love. But honestly, we all knew he would be. Throughout the rest of the sibling's quests- he has been the lone holdout. He has been the joker, the one to mercilessly ridicule the rest of them for falling in love. Always declaring that it would never happen to him. And then- it did.
Boy, was I not expecting Max. She was a total surprise for me- way out of left field, but totally what Anthony needed. Someone to be able to put up with his casual, devil may care attitude, while still being able to bring him to his knees. However, Anthony didn't seem to mind the fall one bit. And fall he did. Like a ton of bricks. He stood by her- through everything, making sure to prove to her that he was in it for the long haul. My heart broke for Max, and her story, so I needed her to have someone strong to be there to pick her up and keep her going. What better man of strength, than a Gallo??
I truly hope that I haven't given anything away for you guys, because, honestly you HAVE to read this story- no, this series, and experience it for yourselves. You have to live and breathe this characters, and fall in love with them- just like the rest of us did. While I know that this is a bittersweet book, as it closes out the Gallo chapters, I look forward to reading Chelle's new stuff, that she promises will give us glimpses of Gallos in the future.
This one gets 5 huge stars from me, and is most certainly an epic ending to a fantastic series!!

So we are at the end of Jovi and Merricks story. It was quite a rollercoaster. Turns out Bens death wasn't a lie. Everyone is heartbroken trying to deal with that when The Devil pops up wanting his car that wasn't delivered.
I loved the writing to this. I really felt a part of the story. Jovi and Merrick have to go through threw so much to get their chance to be together, its really endearing the love they have for each other.
I had for the most part guessed the ending but I never dreamed of what would make it possible. Although this is the last of Jovi and Merricks story there are going to be spin-offs for the other characters.

I was given an eArc by the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you.

The tears are still falling as I write this.  A perfect ending to a perfect story! Maggie and  Clays journey had me on the edge of my seat for most of the time with my heart in my throat. It was really beautiful to see them have their happy ending!

This is a very hard review for me to write. I have been with this series since the publication of Priceless, book 1 and it was one of the first Indie Urban Fantasy series I came across and so has a very special place within my heart. The characters have truly become alive to me. Shannon Mayer is a gifted writer and she knows to how to put her readers through an emotional whirlwind, so to say that this book was sad for me as it is the end of an era is an understatement. Not only that but each book seems to have become more emotional than the last and anyone who picks this up needs to have a box or two of tissues handy.

I'm not going to say anything about the story, anyone who is reading this is doing so because they love Rylee and they know that this is the last battle. Of course it's going to be emotional! I will say though that this story will stay with me forever, I adore Rylee and her family and whilst ending was bittersweet it left me with a huge feeling of hope and a sense of reason. I feel a sense of completeness and satisfaction. I adored Lark's part to play in this story and I can only say that I am glad that her story continues soon, as she has a place in my heart as special as Rylee's. I'd love to hear more of some of the characters in the future and who knows what we'll get.

A truly fitting end to a quite extraordinary series. This book resonated with me deeply, Rylee's place in my heart is assured. Thank you Shannon Mayer for the gift that you give us.

"The truth is that ever story ends at some point. It's just that some stories end happier that others."

I've experience a lot of emotions since the beginning of Houston and Rory's love story. The Way We rise is the final conclusion of The Story of Us. It is sad to say goodbye to the characters that you fall in love with. This beautiful love story ends perfectly. A perfect ending for a perfect story. No words how very much I adore and how talented Cassia Leo is. I will surely miss this series. I know that every story ends in some point but a real love story never ends, it is just the beginning. I highly recommend this book and I hope you won't miss this out!

An amazing conclusion to an incredible trilogy. The end of the book was bittersweet. I was so depressed that it was over that I had to read all three again. I wanted more-- I still do. It was sad, stressful, exciting, terrifying, tragic, and heartwarming all at the same time. It is rare to find a book that can both break my heart and make me laugh. Overall I was pretty satisfied with the ending, despite feeling miserable that there was nothing left for me to read about Ruby, Liam, Chubs, Zu, Vida etc. However, Alexandra Bracken gracefully brought the story to a close without any loose ends or unanswered questions. While there's no doubt I would read another 10 books about these characters, Bracken did an excellent job telling the story in just three.

I would highly recommend reading this book.

Like all her other books in this series, the characters were extremely well developed to the point where the characters have obtained what they had lacked in the beginning. This final book was an amazing way to conclude this epic saga. The crew goes through a ton of twists, and the style of writing completely captivates in every chapter. The imagery is extremely well done. Reading this series was like watching a movie in my head. This was a great book and would recommend to everyone.

It's bittersweet to finally come to the end of an era. Robert Jordan published The Eye of the World, the first book in the Wheel of Time fantasy epic, 23 years ago. Brandon Sanderson completed the last three books after Jordan's death, and does a masterful job here concluding the series in a loving way.

I won't spoil anything because the action is too hard-hitting and constant, and characters we've grown to know and love over these 14 books have a lot of emotional inertia. I'll just say that there are moments where you will laugh, moments you'll cry, moments that you'll want to throw the book across the room, and moments where you will just stare dumbfounded at the words you just read, then read them again. This is the kind of book that you will not want to put down.

I won't reveal which theories I had were born out to be true and which were completely wrong, but I'll just say that I guessed some things right. Even those things I guessed right, though, were handled in ways that often stunned and shocked me.

Thoroughly entertained. Earned every single one of those five stars.

An amazing ending to an incredible story.

Claire Simone has had a rebirth and now she has to try and overcome her depression, anorexia, and bulimia by herself.

She has her family trying to force her to change but she knows she has to want to change and figure out how herself.

This book has changed the way I think about anorexic and bulimia. It's that the person who has the disorder has to learn how to change themselves and no one can help them. You have to just be there and support them whether they eat or not. Like Emmett did for Claire.

C.M. is one of my favorite authors because of the characters she makes and they way she writes there journeys.

A beautiful ending to a rich, emotional, turbulent, exhilarating, thought-provoking trilogy.  As sad as I am to complete these wonderful characters' story, I'm glad that their tumultuous journey has come to a satisfying close.  I took my time reading this one so that it wouldn't be over quite so quickly!  I look forward to seeing which other characters EH chooses to write about in the future.  One of the best series I've ever read!

As the author himself put it endings are hard, with that in mind the final book in the trilogy is one of great note. Resolving all open story lines and bring both happy endings to even the most tragic of endings for characters. Truly the author has found himself an ending to a story as great as the story itself.

After a long, long, wait the end to the beginning has finally come...  A perfect ending to a well written beautiful story. The artwork to each of the volumes will surely evoke emotion within the body and soul. ***** Totally recommend *****
