A perfect ending to this series!

Oh my, so good.  It was the perfect ending to the Bennett family series.  So sexy but sweet and very loving.  I can't wait for the Connor family next.

OMG Penelope did not disappoint with the last book in the series. This is the perfect ending to a wonderful series. Cane's emotions really make this book a million times better. You get to see a whole different side to his and Crow's relationship. I love how this book still included Crow and Pearl and their involvement with Cane and Adeline. I love how strong of a woman Adeline is and it definitely shows in this book. Penelope you are an amazing writer and I can't wait for future books!!

I loved it!

The primary characters are Nathan and Noel. These two were together before all the bad happened at the start of the series, but Noel drifted away because she was drowning in grief. Now that Nathan knows that was the cause of their drift, he's never letting her go again.

This is the last book in the series and this wraps up everything so nicely. I love all the glimpses of everyone. We even get to see a couple of relationships get started. I will miss learning what happens next.

This is how you write a finale to a series!
It was nearly perfect. Questions were answered. It made me nervous, it made me cry, it made me happy, it made me swoony. Honestly, it was one of the best series finales I have ever read. (And I haven't even read the separate Epilogue book yet!)

It's a long series, but SO worth it! The finale delivers above and beyond.

This was the perfect end to a dark and edgy series, like the light at the end of the tunnel. Sabrina is Riley's best friend. She is a driven former foster child now executive woman planning on taking on the world and not caring much about the worl her friend now lives in. But one thing keeps them together, her daughter, now Riley's by adoption. She has a very hot one night stand with her rich client Jake and her corporate job starts coming apart at the same time that she learns something unsettling about her future. Nyanther comes back into the scene to get rid of the last gargoyles fron the Stonebrood Clan and he is offered by Nick to stay at her apartment annoying her from the very beginning. He is attracted to her but won't act on it because he thinks he doesn't need the complication. Jake (Jacob) falls in literally at the most unexpected place where Nyanther and Riley and Nick are hunting the gargoyles. I loved how Jake, Sabrina and Nyanther's lives come together, not rushed or full of drama but patiently awaiting love to happen. And when it happens its amazing. Their lives pieces come together perfectly. The trio also brings the hunting community to this century and overhauls their dynamics with the latest technology. Five stars to Sabrina's Clan!

It's funny to look back at my reviews of the other books in the series now that it's over. I had just started blogging when I discovered this series and it quickly became a favorite. My reviews of the first three books, however, did not do them justice and my review for this book, probably won't either. But, I'll do my best. The most important thing to note is that this was a perfect ending for a wonderful series!

In all honesty, I was terrified to read this book. I was so happy with the ending of Good For You and just couldn't imagine anything happening to Reid and Dori. But, there were issues that were unresolved and it did ultimately affect the future of their relationship. One thing is certain though, I'm finally, unequivocally, a Reid Alexander fan now. I didn't really like him all that much in the first two books in the series. He was selfish, arrogant, and spoiled. Reid has come a long way since then. He grew on me in Good For You. He needed to have something or someone really slap him in the face with reality. And Dori was just the person to help him do that. Well, I'm happy to say that his growth continued on in this book.  Reid is now a mature, responsible, and self-less adult. I was really proud of the person he's become.

I can't talk about Reid without talking about Dori. I just simply love her. She's so perfect for Reid. She doesn't see him as the famous movie star. She sees him. Of course, their relationship comes with many challenges; she's heading off to college, he has a busy work schedule, she's trying to learn how to handle living in the spotlight, then...there's the secret. Was it wrong that Reid wasn't open about it right away? Yes. And I really do think that Dori's reaction was appropriate, even if it did make me a bit mad. But, I also understood why Reid handled it the way he did. There were moments I really thought the towel was going to be thrown, but as I said before, Reid has grown and Dori has been a catalyst to these changes. He won't live without her. I was so happy that he didn't give up on fighting for their realtionship.

Ok. Brooke. I hate to say this, but I still don't like her. However, I did sympathize with her in this book. And like Reid, I think she's matured significantly. Her life isn't just about her anymore. I appreciated Brooke's drive to make things right. Not only with her own situation, but with trying to resolve her friendship with Graham.

Speaking of Graham...He remains my very favorite character in this series. Fortunately for me, he does appear a few times throughout the book. I can't tell you how happy that made me. But, the stand-out for me was River. Oh...my...word. River broke my heart. I never expected the story to go the way it did. I "knew" about him, but that was it. I was so happy to read River's POV. Looking at his old life and his new life from his perspective was very emotional. I can't imagine reading this book without it. Or him.

Overall, I loved it. I'm so sad that the series has ended, but I really feel like everyone is where they're supposed to be. The ups and downs...the love and loss...the deceptions and truths-this series has had it all. It will forever remain a favorite series of mine. If you haven't read it, you're truly missing out. Go grab it now!

Quotes:
~"I'm such a coward-I'm terrified that if I meet River, he'll become important to me. And when everything ends with Reid, I'll lose him too."-Loc 2991

~"I'm asking you to have faith in one thing, for now: the fact that when we're alone, I'm just Reid, and you're just Dori, and we're going to love each other for the rest of our lives."-Loc 3140

~I've always said I would never need a man, and no boy would ever save me.
I was wrong.-Loc 3198

Thank you, C.E. Murphy, for an excellent ending to an excellent series. I laughed; I cried. Then I cried again, and I was left with a feeling of hope. What a roller coaster! I loved it!

I received an Advance Reader Copy at no cost from the author/publisher.

I just loved this! It was exactly the ending that I was hoping for in this amazing series. There is just so much to love about this book!

What I liked
The closing of this story comes together nicely. Most loose ends are tied up (with the exception of one thing mentioned below) and the story flows quite nicely.

I love the relationships that Nym has with some of the other characters. Her relationship with Rasha is heartwarming. Her relationship with Kel makes me giggle. I just love that little turd. Her relationship with Myles is endearing. I love how he gets redemption from her at the end. My heart swelled.

I loved Nym's sacrifice. It was so touching and I was on the edge of my seat with the end scenes. Nym shows who she truly is, and I am glad that in the end things worked out the way that they did.

The ending was so satisfying. Some books leave you hanging wondering what in the stars happens to your beloved characters. This ending was in between, and really quite perfect. While we don't get a glimpse into the future with the characters, there is enough there to make you feel comfort in your chest. You can rest easy knowing that your favorite characters are going to be all right. It is really bittersweet. I loved it.

What I didn't like
The source of power is still not thoroughly explained in this one either. Since the source of power wasn't really explained in Storm Siren or Siren's Fury, I thought that things would be laid out in Siren's Song. There really isn't an explanation at all. There are vague mentionings about the Valley and then she sings and things happen, but the source of it is still up in the air. I wish that the siren aspect would have been explored more. Other than her song, there isn't really much about it. My nerdy brain is itching for more information! Gah! I think that this is the only thing that I truly dislike about the series. Everything else is solid.

Would I Recommend It
Yes. This is by far the best book of the series! There is action, redemption, sacrifice, friendship, love, strength - just so much to love about this book!

This entire series blew my mind with how amazing it was. This was honestly a perfect conclusion to such an amazing series. I felt so many emotions during this book and I just kept falling more and more in love with it. Molly and Tensely are my absolute favorite and I am sad to see the series end but what a satisfying ending it was!

I loved this book! The perfect ending to the series. I experienced so many emotions in this book. The relationship between Tessa, Marko and Hunter was beautifully developed and deepened in this book. The struggle they went through to work together and overcome their differences had me cheering them on and on the edge of my seat to see if they could defeat Aetas. Hang on when you read this. You're in a for a wild ride!

Three (Article 5 #3) by Kristen Simmons was the perfect way to end a series!  It had everything that a reader would want in finale.  Suspense, action, romance, all ends tied upIm telling you, I felt as though I were on an emotional roller coaster ride.  Every step of the way I was still in fear of Ember and Chase in being caught.

Favorite characters from their adventure make appearances, and it is not all smiles, hugs and happily ever afters, my friends.  Seriously, there were much tears and sadness.  There were various parts in the book where my heart bleed while my tears fell.

Being a huge fan of this series, I had a lot of emotional investment in this story and in the characters.  For those of you that know what I mean, youll completely understand when something terrible happens to one of the characters that you lurve.

Dont even begin to think that Ill divulge that information.  If you want to know what Im talking about, and more importantly the WHO (plural!!), don't hesitate to read this book.

Three by Kristen Simmons picks up near where book 2 ends.  Nothing new really.  Ember and Chase are still on the run and the search for the safe houses and survivors is still on the agenda.  Being listed as THE most wanted criminals in the eyes of BR (Bureau of Reformation), hiding and being invisible proves to be difficult.

As they continue to locate the remaining safe houses, pasts come back to haunt them, and the fact that Three exists is becoming more and more of a reality, the more they see and learn.

Trust is given the ultimate test in this final installment in the Article 5 series.  People that you want to trust surprise you, and the ones that you know are completely untrustworthy, has you believing in humanity all over again.

Author, Kristen Simmons, goes above and beyond in her writing and her storytelling skills.  You cant help but feel the fears that the characters feel, crave the safety and freedom that the characters desire.  The placement of the characters and the events that transpire throughout the book were done to perfection.  If there was one thing that I could change in the book, it would benothing.  HONESTLY!  I, personally believe, that this Three was perfect.  Ember is still her clumsy self, tripping over her feet, but after 2 books of witnessing that, I just came to expect it this time around.

If you haven't started this series, I really, really suggest you start ASAP!  Especially since all three books are now OUT and you can read non-stop!  Once you start, you're not gonna wanna stop!

I sit here with tears in my eyes as I write the review for the last book in the Holly Woods Files Series. This series took my by surprised and I was always waiting for the next book, and now that it's over, I'm not quite sure what to do now!

Twined Bond was the perfect ending for this series and the perfect ending for Noelle and Drake. We finally see them say "I Do" (but not without drama), and we see them solve another murder together, as well as have their lives turned upside down yet again.

The case they are working on this time around is not as crazy as the others, but still just as confusing. No leads to go on, and no one wanting to talk. No suspects, no leads, and everyone agrees they need to have Noelle help since she has experience in the crime they are investigating. Watching her keep trying to remind herself she is an "advisory" role is hilarious, but it doesn't stop her, no matter how many times she reminds herself, she is always the one who is smarter than the rest of them and figures things out way before the others do, even if it puts her in danger.

Not only are Drake and Noelle working this case, but they are also trying to stay out of Nonna's cross-hairs. They've gone and made her mad this time around and now it's time for their punishment. Nonna in all her "Nonna'ness" is hilarious in this book, but also we see how much she truly does love her family. She is amazing and the crazy glue that holds the family together. Noelle's bachelorette party was something that had me laughing out loud while reading this book, and definitely lightened up some of the mood!

This book had me laughing, crying, and on the edge of my seat throughout the entire read. I wanted to take my time with this book, because I knew it was the end, but I got sucked in and couldn't put it down. I loved all the twists and turns that Emma Hart took us on, and how Noelle and Drake's story ended. As much as I want more of them and the crazy Bond family, I love how this series ended. It was absolutely perfect. Not only for the main characters, but all of the characters we have come to love. This series will go down as one of my absolute favorites out there, and if you haven't read The Holly Woods Files Series yet, I highly suggest picking it up ASAP. It is a must read series and should be read for anyone who wants a romance with a bunch of suspense, and a female lead that you just want to be like when you grow up!
