Whew! This is getting pretty intense! And just when I think I've figured out what's going on and that things might be coming to an end, something else happens that makes me gasp! There is only one episode left in this season and I can't even begin to imagine how this is all going to end.

'The only thing that's different - the thing that I understand far better than my father ever could - is that if you're going to fight something this evil, this monstrous, that sometimes you're going to have to get down in the muck to do it.'

Wraith, Zachariel, and Wyatt have a plan. But things continually don't go according to plans. There's one road block after another. I'm not sure they are ever going to get a break and save the lives that are going to be destroyed.

'I'm saying it takes debt collectors to understand how to beat debt collectors. And that this ability we have to transfer life energy ... it's not inherently evil. It's the people who are evil, not the thing itself. There's a way to use it for good, if by no other means than simply stopping those who are using it for evil. And I'm determined to make that happen.'

Good luck with that, Wraith!

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review

Corruption is one of the shortest episode in this season and I am pretty sure the last episode will make up for that. This episode on itself isn't that interesting, it's a chain to link to the last episode. It was a fun episode, but it only emphasizes the fact that there will be another episode and I am grumbling about having to wait for that one as I want it now.

There isn't much to say about this episode that I haven't said earlier and as it's pretty short there isn't that much that happens. There's a twist at the end of the episode that I didn't expect, but I wasn't too surprised either.

I had fun reading the interactions between Wyatt and Wraith, Wyatt has only played a small part so far, so it's fun to see a bit more of him. I am pretty sure I agree with Zachariel that Wyatt is in love with Wraith. I am also thinking it feels a tiny bit like a love triangle, as I have no clue with whom Wraith will end up in the end, with Zachariel or Wyatt. And to be honest I would be okay with either one. This series isn't really about the romance though, so while it is present it isn't at the foreground. And even with all the tension goign on the character stay focussed on their mission, stopping Gehena, which I appreciated. Although to be honest I also would be okay with a little bit more romance ;).

To conclude: this was a short episode, leading up to the last episode. There's isn't much that happens in this episode, some fun interactions, a twist at the end and a sort of love triangle, although the focus isn't on it. The focus is on the story and how they are going to stop Gehena. I can't wait to read the last episode to find out how this season ends!

I want to thank the author for continuing to provide me with episodes of this most awesome serial to read and give an honest review. Receiving this for free has in no way altered my opinion or review.

This one was, well, short. Not to say I didn't like it, but I felt like I needed more and then I turn the page and WHAM it's over. And I was SAD! And I was itching to get to the next episode because I know it's going to be the most fantastic conclusion ever!

If you haven't read any of the previous episodes in this serial, you might want to stop here so you can avoid spoilers. And if you haven't read any of the previous episodes, what are you waiting for? GO NOW!

This episode picks up right where the other one left off. Zachariel, Wyatt and Alexa are on their way to flush out INtense and get him to stop the trick. They have a plan in place, three to be exact. That way if one doesn't work out, then they can try and institute one of the others. But as usual, things don't go quite as planned. They end up in yet another compromising position, one I can truly say I didn't see coming. And then Quinn just ends it, teasing me to no end!

The one things I love about this episode is Wyatt and Alexa's interactions. I was a bit surprised by Wyatt, to be honest, and I kind of like it. I'm not sure where Quinn is going with things along the lines of Zachariel and Wyatt and Alexa, but I'm totally intrigued. At the same time, I can see how Alexa is almost torn between these two men in her life and what each can give her.

Anxiously awaiting the conclusion Sue. GIVE IT TO ME NOW!
