I have loved this entire series. The characters are well developed and well written. The story moves along at a great pace. I love that this book shows vampires and other supernaturals in a new way. I truly hope that the author adds more books to this series.

Excellent series wrap up. I really enjoyed the entire series but this final book is my favorite.

I really hope there will be more in the series! I enjoy reading (listening to) the adventures of Donna and everyone else. I love that Francine crochets.
ebanocy's review against another edition
3.0
I will start this by saying I love this series and after reading the first one immediately began pre-ordering the following four books. The first book was just so funny and good and I tend to really enjoy Kristen Painter's novels. They are usually good and light palette cleansers for me. The following books, while good, were not, in my opinion, as good as the first book and that trend has continued with this last installment. Evidently, I am in the minority in thinking this.
While I did enjoy this book and it did accomplish what it set out to do, I kept getting pulled out of the story by how beyond overdramatic and nonsensical this plot line was. Now I knew coming into this that I would need to suspend my disbelief quite a bit. But there were so many moments in this that made me roll my eyes. Everything was overly melodramatic to the point where I almost actively being annoyed. Especially towards the middle to end of the book. There were moments when I wondered over the intelligence of the entire cast. For example when Pierce went into the Hell Mouth, it was glaringly obvious that he was attempting to get her soul back. But literally everyone was running around saying he'd succumbed to the allure of the Hell Mouth.
Overall, this was good but not my favorite of the series or of Kristen Painter's other novels. I liked how everything wrapped up and it was nice to see Donna's coronation.
