Wow, what an ending to this series. I was a little apprehensive going in because I could see all kinds of tragedy on the horizon, but I enjoyed this book so much. It was better than the two previous books in the series and it was impossible to put down. I really can't think of a better ending to this series. It had just about everything I could have asked for, and reading about Kate as a mother to a toddler was laugh out loud funny at times. Speaking of funny there were so many lines in this book that had me cracking up. It was a good balance to the darkness of the rest of the story. I especially appreciated the references to book one at one point while Andrea is visiting with Kate.

The story skips forward two years for this book, and at first I wasn't sure what I thought about that, but it ended up being the right move. I like the direction the authors are taking for future books set in this world and I'm looking forward to reading them. I started reading this series when they were only 5 books into it and it's been a favorite series ever since. I've looked forward to each new book release so I will miss Kate and Curran, and the pack, and everyone else. If you like Urban Fantasy and you haven't tried this series yet, then you should really give it a try. The first book is the weakest book in the series, and even the authors have said they would probably rewrite it if they could, but I still liked it enough to keep reading the series.
