““You cannot leave me. The world would never survive my wrath.” – Mira
The war with the naturi has come to a head and Mira must decide if her hatred for these creatures is stronger than her duty to protect her people and her city. She must make alliances’ with the very things she has been hunting for centuries. Then to make matters worse the day light collation, a society determined to rid the world of all its abominations has risen up and take matters into its own hands . Somehow they got information on several Lycanthrope packs and where they go on full moons and launched an attacked the local Lycan pack along with several others in the area. Mira must find a way to stop them before they expose them all to the world and an all-out man hunt starts coming for them. But none of this will matter if she can’t find a way to stop Nick her father, the god of chaos. Nick is determined to make Mira kill Danaus and the very powerful elder Jabari, her maker. Somehow if she completes this and becomes stronger it will help him regain his God like powers and reek chaos on the world once again. But if she fails he will turn her human and make her birth him a new child to start over with. Mira may have an ace up her sleeve; she must find the vampire leader he is old and powerful, he may be the only one who could help her to rid the world of Nicks presents. But she may not be willing to pay the price her liege is asking of her for his help.
This was the last book in this series. Honestly I thought it was the best book, there was a lot going on but Jocelynn managed it great. There was not a time that I got lost in the story. It was more like the more she throws at Mira the more exciting the book got.
The last two books I had started feeling sorry and started to like Rowe (the Naturi that helped capture and torture Mira) I thought it was weird, but I sometimes tend to like the bad guys for some reason but I really liked him in this book. The point a view switched back and forth from Nxy (the Naturi Queens sister) and Mira. At first I thought I wouldn’t like it but I did, I liked being able to see the war form the other side of the table and see their point of views. It made you understand them and like them better well at least some of them, the queen is still a horribly evil creature.
I love the relationship between Danaus and Mira it has grown in to a very strong bond. I love how much she cares for him. I do not like that she is ashamed of what she is because of him. She hides her feedings and feeds less to accommodate him, I think he would adapt he loves her too much to give her up over something so trivial.
The ending was very well done and it wrapped it all up the best it could. I think the last two book are the best in the series and I’m sad to see that it is done I would love to see more of Rowe and Nyx , I just got to know them.”
