I look at each of us. A druid, a vampire, an ancient Fae, and a Shade. All of us equals, all of us comrades. And for a moment, I cannot believe that the goal I set out to achieve so many years ago, of peace between our races, has finally been accomplished. --Asher, Prince of Pride
I have loved this world and all of these characters for such a long time, that it is sad to say goodbye. This novel serves as a bridge to bring together and connect so many of our beloved KK characters from various worlds: we have all of our original VG members in Ari, Asher, Dean, FEN, Kayla, Tavian, along with our second generation in Iris, Elias, Arias, and now Alex, and even Sky and Kaden of Nirandel. I think KK did a fantastic job of intertwining all of these characters and worlds seamlessly, and it was wonderful seeing the different generations interact with one another while still maintaining the fantasy-adventure and humor elements that are so intrinsic to their novels. I loved being able to see a different and more archaeological side to Dr. Vane (ha!) and watching him finally get his HEA! He is probably most deserving of happiness--along with Asher--and I love that he's found his girl at last.
Overall, this novel was a great coming together story to bring about closure. It was ultimately about family and love and acceptance and being surrounded by those who care about you. I really enjoyed the extended epilogues and seeing everyone one last time. I hope KK decides to visit these characters and world again one day, but I'm truly satisfied with the ending. Definitely recommend this entire series if you haven't started yet :)

Loved it
Let me start by saying that I loved Alex Stone. She was so different from other characters within the VG world, but she fit right in.
This story is great because we get to learn more about characters that we've come to love. I've loved finding new sides to Dean, his turned out to be a far more complex character and I've adored discovering his other sides.
This book has tidied everything up nicely for most characters, yet it has left parts which could be further explored later on.
I cannot wait to see what eventually comes up for the VG series

The last several epilogue chapters got a bit jumbled, would have liked to have seen that smoothed out to flow better as normal chapters. Love the series, glad it is growing! Can't wait for the next installment.

I love the scapes of Inferna, such a good world building and the characters are so different it deserves a bow. It somehow felt bittersweet, because this was the last book in the series if you dont count the side books. Also felt a bit short, but then again enough to excite me.

Alex has made a name for herself, one that focused on her accomplishments not her gender nor her looks. Doing her job, finding the unobtainable have her a great deal of accomplishment until she was double crossed. Had it not been for Dean Alex may have died.
The two of them embark on a journey that leads to unexpected answers to questions Alex didn't even know she had.
Full of characters you can't help but love and for for. Another great installment in the Vampire Girl saga. I look forward to more books soon.

So this book starts off with Alex stone trying to find a treasure for work. She knows she needs to keep it and it does not go well. She almost died but is saved by the prince of lust, Dean. Even though she wants to hate him, she just can't. Things spin out of control fast. People who were thought to be dead aren't. And she has to sacrifice everything to save everyone. You get to see characters from all the other books. The story moves on a great pace.
I love the characters and the story. They feel so real and just suck you in until you realize the books almost over.
Must read series. Although you can read these alone, having read them all helps.
