Synopsis from Goodreads - Alora looked back and the corner of her lip turned up. “It’s always darkest before the dawn, Julia. Good luck.”
Her words sent chills up my spine as she vanished.
Unrest stirs deep in Scotts Valley. Filled with uncertainty, Julia anxiously awaits Nicholas’ return. Phil, hurt and unsure of his place as a sober vampire, holds the pieces of Julia’s fragile psyche together, secretly hoping Nicholas stays away forever. Scarlett bides her time, plotting for the perfect moment to prove herself and earn redemption. But somewhere in L.A., Alora conspires to reclaim her talisman and strip Julia of everything she holds dear.
Little do they know, a war is coming and more than one vampire would like to see the Prince of Vampires overthrown. As more and more vampires show up from nowhere, addicted to her scent, Julia must pick her allies carefully before it’s too late. Can Julia bargain with fate? When the time comes, will she even have a choice? Find out how it all ends in this explosive grand finale of The Talisman Trilogy.
My Review - I love this series so much, and am sad to see it end. I know that wrapping up a series, and meeting all your readers expectations has to be really hard. You can never make everyone happy. I felt like something was missing in this finale for me. I couldn't pin point what it was at first, but I think it is that due to something that happens to Nicholas, I felt like I didn't get enough of the couple I love in this last installment. By the time I felt like what I was looking for was finally there... it was the end and I admit I felt a little let down. I'm just a hopeless romantic, I admit it :) That is honestly my only complaint about this finale.
The action in this story is amazing. Once things start, they don't let up, and there are so many twists and turns that I did not see coming AT ALL. Brenda's storyline is so intriguing and I couldn't wait to see how she was going to wrap this up. At one point it all just seemed hopeless and I had no clue how my beloved characters were going to get their happy ending. I was blown away by the direction the story went because the outcome was not one I anticipated at all!
Thank you Brenda for a wonderful series and for the amazing Nicholas! I can't wait to see what you bring us next.
