Charlotte and Richard tow very different people are thrown together in dire circumstances. He is known as The Hunter, and comes from common relations and he hunts/kills slave runners. He is excellent with flashing and using his sword. She is the most talented healer and a member of a very blue, blue blood family.her life has been sheltered and focused on healing till Richard derails things. He shows up one day at her place of rest, near death and being chased by viscous salvers who will stop at nothing to get him. Saving his life comes at a very high cost. They travel through towns looking for revenge and encounter death, torture and love.
I enjoyed this last book in this wonderful series. I loved seeing George and Jack again. *They are two of my favorite characters. I did not really connect with Charlotte and Richard. I don't know why. I love the world, the story just not them so much. I really hope the authors bring George and Jack into their own books some day.

The heart of this series is Jack and George. I wish they got their series because they are amazing. Romace here was insta-love, but the plot was fast-paced, so I didn't mind.

I love Ilona Andrews but this one felt a bit slapped together. I got the distinct impression they had decided to finish the series right before this book and tried to wrap up all the loose ends a bit clumsily.

I thought this was a fine end to the series. I enjoyed the fact that all of the books connected, just focused on different characters. The basic love story got a little tired because it's the same in all 4 books, but I found myself too caught up in the world to worry about that.

My least favorite of the four couples in this series (so far?) but still good fun.

I had no idea I wanted a book from Richard Mar’s POV, but damn, am I glad I got it.

Richard on his quest to end the slave trade in this dangerous and cutthroat magical parallel world, and Charlotte, a woman hiding herself and her destructive power from the world she grew up in. Together they made a heartbreaking and heartwarming story, a bittersweet ending to this fantastic series.

Just like in the conclusion to the Kate Daniels series—I don’t feel that Ilona Andrews gave us a fully wrapped up conclusion to this series. I’m not sure all my questions were answered. I wish I had seen the aftermath of the end of it all, as in, how all the characters I’ve come to love in this series turned out in the end. I felt a bit robbed of that joy and it still felt a little open-ended to me. So I guess I’ll be crossing my fingers, hoping one day Ilona Andrews will revisit this world again!
