Review Detail

I'm a HUGE Julie Kagawa fan. I adore her Iron Fairy series, and I was completely hooked on the Blood of Eden series as soon as I started. Thank you so much Netgalley and Harlequin Teen, for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I don't even know where to start. This book gave me all the FEELS. I could not wait to get my hands on it after reading the last book. But, the wait was worth it.

What I Loved:

The characters!!!
Allie is still strong, fierce and a force to be reckoned with. I love her character so much. she is an outstanding female lead that all girls can look up to. She doesn't take crud from anyone!

Jackyl. He is such a selfish vampire, but I love him anyway. There's just something about him that makes him endearing. I love that Ms. Kagawa can write a "bad guy" who we can still love! And I'll just say he had a few surprises up his sleeve in this book.

Kanin. I love this character. He is a positive influence on the lives of everyone around him, and I hurt for him and his suffering.

Sarren. Okay, I don't love him...but he adds so much to the story! He is so ruthless and horrible. However, I can honestly say that I've never read about any character like him and his actions kept me on the edge of my seat and my heart in my throat the entire book.

**mild spoiler if you haven't' read previous two books**

Zeke. We knew at the end of book 2 that he is still alive and I've been so scared for him since I finished that book. And oh my goodness, Sarren did horrible things to him. I was not prepared for Zeke in this book. I don't want to give too much away, but let's just say my heart, literally, has never beaten so hard over a character. EVER.

The storyline.
Oh my goodness. I mentioned above how fast my heart was beating. I literally have never been so scared in a book before. I could not lay down to read this book. I had to sit up and I was biting my nails and going crazy the entire time! I was (quite literally) on the edge of my seat the entire book. Wow. Julie Kagawa is a MASTER. *bows* Hats off to you my friend because you are outstanding! I had expectations for the ending of this series, and she blew right past them and exceeded anything I could've ever dreamed of for the ending. Amazing job!

What left me wanting more:

Um...nothing. I am fulfilled to the highest with this series. I'm in awe of Julie Kagawa's talent and will forever read anything she writes. Outstanding, outstanding, outstanding
