A great ending to a great series. I recommend these books to everyone, for their heart, hilarity, and action. I will always remember this story line, and that's saying something when I read a lot of books.

Finally, a book in this series with an actual ending, and a fantastic one at that. The characters are great, the writing style is fantastic, and the story has a way of keeping you hooked like few things can.

Synopsis



-Final installment of both series

Jayne and her group of misfit Fae friends must travel to the Overworld and the Underworld to recruit the Guardians. Too bad the Guardians are monster dragons with a bad attitude and a mouthful of fire breath. Jayne, along with Spike- her almost boyfriend incubus, Tony- best friend and Gray walker, Finn- redneck Green Elf, Samantha- badass witch with a worse attitude, Ben- powerful Elemental who is probably a traitor, and Jared- the daemon that started it all; the group must overcome the odds and restore the portals. The demons cannot be stopped any other way. Can they reach the Guardians in time, and convince them to help before the Earth is overrun with demons?

My Thoughts



I had no idea how Elle Casey was going to tie up all the loose ends without writing another book. 75% of the way through, it seemed there was no way to finish it without leaving a million questions. She pulled it off fairly well, and my head is still spinning with the ending. Most of the events were rather predictable, but there were a few twists and turns that left me smiling like a fool. It is a bittersweet ending, and I hope that Casey will write another book in this series someday. I found myself falling in love with a lot of the characters, Tim especially. The snarky pixie captured my heart, as did foul mouthed protagonist, Jayne. I can't give away all of the secrets of the series, but I will say that my prior predictions were, in fact, entirely correct. I enjoyed the conclusion, and I have mixed feelings about the ending. But all in all, it was a wonderful continuation of the War of the Fae Series, and I would recommend it to any urban fantasy fan.

Excerpt from Book



When the angel was just over the field, I could see that she was a girl, or more accurately, a woman. And she was wearing the skimpiest outfit I'd yet to see in the fae, or angel world. She had leather pants that were mostly just straps, and some straps that went around her chest. But they conveniently missed her boobs. I looked over at Finn, and sure enough, his tongue was practically hanging out. We were about to be attacked by Dark Angel S&M Barbie, and I was pretty sure he didn't mind one bit."-Jayne via Elle Casey

Good finish

I enjoyed this series. A lot of reviewers were complaining about Jayne's potty mouth and her immaturity but her character stayed consistent throughout. She did grow and change. I would love to see what happens to others in the books as they grow.

a perfect end to a perfect series. man I'm really sad it's over. I seriously think this story is one that I would never get tired of reading. their world, adventures, relationships, friendships, all of it is what made this series hands down probably one of my favorite reads. I'm sincerely going to miss Jayne and Elle Casey couldn't have written a better heroine. Such a strong, bad ass character who is fiercely loyal, protective, sometimes self doubting, absolutely hilarious and probably one of the most genuine characters I've read in awhile. I'm felling pretty bittersweet about all of this right now though, I'm really glad that it ended in happiness but I'm feeling slightly depressed that it's all over :( [a:Elle Casey|5423648|Elle Casey|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1340289189p2/5423648.jpg] you are now officially one of my favorite authors and I just wanted to say thanks for this unforgettable read :)

I was disappointed by this final book and kinda feel I should rate it lower than four stars but I just can't bring myself to. I adored this series (and the war of the fae quartet preceding it): Elle Casey's characters are fantastic and the touch of humor worked very well. Those two winning factors are not lost in this final installment. BUT. Loose ends were left, a large proportion of the back story explanations didn't make sense to me and the epilogue was a pitiful wrap-up. It felt rushed and there were numerous careless errors as a result. When the former books were so tight, marking careful attention to detail, the mistakes and loose structure here stood out stark. Shame. I really wish a little more time had been taken to really conclude the Changelings tale with the finesse and style they so deserved.

Oh, and if anyone discovers where I can get me a pixie roommate with a fanny pack, please let me know. I SOOO want an awesome Tim the pixieman of my own!
