Book Description:
**The long-awaited final book in this popular magickal, action-packed teen series! Seventeen-year-old Emily Adams unintentionally unleashed a shadow god's dark energy power into the world and started an Apocalypse. But Emily is also the only one that can end the dark god's reign. Though the powerful faerie magic of the golden torc is still coiled around her arm, self-doubt threatens to undo her. Emily wants nothing more than to feel the soft kiss of her one true love, but he won't even speak to her. Her first crush is still quite dead and her best friend remains a prisoner in the dark god's house of nightmares. A growing legion of black-eyed shadow people, devoid of conscience, roam the streets. Emily needs help now more than ever, but redemption seems far off indeed as she faces the expanding darkness alone. Emily will need an army of her own if she is to save the world from being taken over by pure evil. But will a small band of Lucent geeks and freaks be enough to send the dark god packing? Amidst chaos and ruin, will love blossom in Emily's Heart?
My Thoughts:
Great conclusion to a really good series! Emily is all alone. The Apocalypse has begun and people are turning to the darkness. Their souls are lost. Only Emily can end the darkness but she needs help and she has to overcome her doubts. She needs an army to help her, but has a small group of Lucents to help her. Will it be enough? Add to all that pressure and the guy she loves is still not speaking to her and she has to save her best friend.
I still love Emily. She has grown and changed through this series and I like where the author has taken her. It isn't all fun and roses, but deep, heavy issues that she hast to deal with that make her mature and take responsibilities. Jake, I wanted to be annoyed with him, but he does still love Emily and helps her. The story flows quickly and there is no stopping reading once you start....you will have to read to the end to know what happens!
I rate this a 4/5. The series was good and this book wrapped it up quite nicely!
Thank you to the author for the review copy of this book. I received this book in exchange for an honest review and the opinions stated above are 100% mine.
Thank you for your review :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome!
DeleteThis sounds like a good book, but I think I would have to read the other ones in the series first, though :)
ReplyDeleteI recommend people at least read book 2 first as Book 3 continues the plot from book 2. Book 1 I think adds to the second two books, but it is not necessary to read it first to get what's going on in the other 2.
DeleteThanks for stopping by :-)
Nice review but I agree with Masshole Mommy--this definitely sounds like a series that should be read in order. Although this is not my usual genre I will go to Amazon and see if I can read a chapter or tw-hey you never know-I might really enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a good book. I may have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteNot my cup of tea, but the exact type of book my wife enjoys. Might make a good (belated) Valentine's Day gift.
ReplyDeleteI love when a series ends well! I might give these books a try.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad that this series has ended, but glad it had a great ending. Sounds like I really missed out on this series.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and I do hope you'll check out The Akasha Chronicles.
DeleteI agree your review makes me want to read the rest of the series first. Who says teen books are just for teens lol I loved the cover of the book too
ReplyDeleteI love reading young adult books because they help me to connect to my middle school students and this one looks like a good one.
ReplyDeleteBook 1 of the series, Emily's House, is perfect for middle school! My 9-13 year old readers love Emily's House :-) It's a fun adventure quest with magic and mythical elements. In Books 2 & 3, she matures as the series goes on and there are more romance elements in the second two books, so I think 13+ on Books 2 & 3.
DeleteThanks for stopping by :-)
I don't think I have ever read a full series. I know I have read books that are in a seiries, but never finished a whole series. This sounds great though.
ReplyDeleteI love it when a series ends solidly. Sounds like a good book.
ReplyDeleteWow what a fantastic sounding book - I have a bit of a love for YA I don't think I'll ever stop reading them :) x
ReplyDeleteI love them too, Sarah-Louise, so that's why I write them :-) Thanks for stopping by. Also, for anyone wanting to read the series, there is a boxed set of all 3 books on Kindle and it's $3 off the price of the individual books.
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
Sounds full of action and suspense ... love getting to know a character and seeing them change and grow along with the story too!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great book. I love series. May have to check this one out!
ReplyDeleteVery exciting to read, I bet! I love the action and suspense and this character sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI like fantasy novels and this series seems like a good one with a great conclusion. It's good when the heroine grows and learns during the stories journey. Gotta check this out
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and checking out my series. This fantasy series starts with a tween/middle grade book (Emily's House) that is a fantasy adventure quest with lots of action. Books 2 and 3 see Emily age and mature as she takes on more and more responsibility and grows and matures.
DeleteI would have to read the others to really get into the book. I don't like starting at the end. :) Sounds like a good read and it's good to know a bit about the end of the series as well.
ReplyDeleteI really love books like these, where they test the character to the very brink of their sanity. Love it.
ReplyDeleteLOL, yes, Emily is tested!! Writing it drove ME to the brink of sanity ;-)
DeleteThanks for stopping by
I don't think I read any of these books yet. They sound like something I'd really enjoy, so I'll check the series out!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great review..thanks for sharing; I'm always on the hunt for a great book on my reading list and this sure sounds like a great book and series to sit down with a nice cup of tea and cookies.. can't wait...
ReplyDeleteEmily's Heart sounds like a pretty good book, if you're into this genre. I will have to pass on this author's name to one of my friends who would enjoy this series. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Apocalypse books, and whole series are even better. I might have to check this set out. Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteMy sister would love this book.. I am more of a romance type of story lover, in now a day times.. but I know my sister would love this one! I'll have to send it to her for her bday!
