A big thank you to NetGalley and City Owl Press for the eARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is the 4th book in a series, and I think it reads best if you read them in order. It does not read well as a stand alone in my opinion. It is convoluted plot. It is fascinating though. I liked Jessica and Misery. Different 3.5

Another great addition to this series. As it gets closer to the end it feels like everything has ramped up. The book is fast paced, with multiple plotlines that keep together and are clear and deftly handled. I can't wait to see how is all gets tied up in the next book, although I will be sad to see the end of the series.

The one book in the series that ends on a cliff-hanger. Justafiably so but argh. Need the next book. This series has really picked up.

This is the 4th book in the series and in my opinion should not be read as a standalone - even though not too much progress seems to be made it is worth reading just to keep up to date with the plot

Jess has finally managed to build a fragile truce between the differing factions - they need to take the threat of the Fury seriously , but the bickering soon starts once again throwing the alliance into disarray .
Even when a mage is killed the factions do not come together but continue to bicker , and bicker ......

What could have been an entertaining cohesive book , moving the plot along seemed to consist of bickering , temper tantrums , reading and more reading and very little progress - perhaps the next book will be better

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for this arc. This story was fast paced and I enjoyed it a lot. I have not read the previous books and I was a little confused at times, over all it was great.

I’m liking where this series is headed and eager to pick up with the next book!

That being said, I guess this was a necessary evil type of installment. Jess is forced to work with all the paranormal races and the Gryphons in order to try to stop the apocalypse. That’s kind of important, but nobody can find a way to get along, with the satyr contingent ending up being one of the worst in a surprising and yucky way. There are a few different layers of crappiness that all work together to somehow push Jess on a trip to France to try to get some progress. It’s also surprising that we get very little of the main boyfriend and wayyyy more Devon. My level of OK with this is on the same page as Jess’s.

So, do we make progress in the larger apocalypse storyline here? Yes, but it felt… bad. There are a ton of questions and things I need resolved, but I am content to let them be worked out later when we have the full Scooby gang back together. I kind of think I ended this book liking the Gryphons more, which leaves me very conflicted.

I received a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This picks up where the action left off on the previous book, and pushed the momentum forward, and the search for answers- to her existence and to the prophecy they see coming. There’s a lot to unpack with this, between the alliance and the personal bombshells, and the next looks to be packed as well.
