It’s been days since I’ve finished and I’m still thinking about Mack and Annie! As always with this author, I wish she would write male POV’s, but other than that this was actually really hot!

The final installment of my favorite post apocalyptic romance! I've been a fan of the world Claire Kent created since Last Light and continue to re-read all of her books in this series. From the beginning, Mac has been a fan favorite and consistent character in each book and the romance between him and Anna have been hinted at since Last Light. While I did enjoy it and gave it 5 stars, it didn't have the punch I was expecting...probably because it has been hyped up! I can't wait to re-read it and see if my love grows though.

my thoughts┊ahh i can’t believe it’s over! this series has been a staple for me since i first discovered it last year. it’s such a unique premise and adds a really fun element to romance!

i’ve loved every installment, and this final book is no different. anna and mack’s story has been in the works since the very beginning, and it feels so right ending the series with their story. this was everything i wanted from it and more!

i’ve loved both anna and mack as characters from their cameos in the previous books, and i really enjoyed getting to learn more about them. they’re so perfect for each other and i love how complex their relationship has been, and yet they still managed to get their happily ever after.

cannot wait for this to come out so i can add it to my collection! i remember reading that there might potentially be a spin off series, and i reaaaaaally hope it involves logan’s character 👀 i was very intrigued by him and i’d kill to read anything set in this world again!

I can always count on Claire Kent to provide me with a great story that keeps me turning the pages. Beacon is her latest book and it did not disappoint!

What a finale Kent gave us with Mack and Anna's long-awaited story. Nothing about this disappointed; it was warm, building and such a character-driven story but still strong on plot.

I did not expect Mack's characterisation to be what it was when Anna sought him out. He was cold, harsh and beyond reluctant. What was even more surprising was seeing Anna certain of herself and her feelings. This second chance post-apocalyptic romance had all the feels and fire. It felt hard fought without unnecessary angst.

We got time with side characters in this installment without any detraction from Anna and Mack. Eight books in and these various communities of Kindled are so important across the couples we've seen along the way.

I'm so sorry to see this series come to an end but comforted by the fact we're getting an inconnected community in this world soon. I'm excited to read more from this wider world Claire Kent is crafting.

Thank you to the author for the eARC.
