Great series
I chose this rating because the series is one of my favorites. I like the way the characters develop and become a part of my heart . I recommend this book for anybody who likes light paranormal romance novels and anybody who seeks adventure through reading.

Brilliant ending of Beatrice and Gio's story! Perfectly written - nothing unnecessary, not too much drama, not too many installments in the series - the author sensed exactly where their story needs to stop. AMAZING SERIES!!!

Amazing ending to this series. Still love Tenzin, shes just awesome. I love how much Ben has grown up. The introduction of the four ancients was really cool. So glad Livia and Lorenzo finally got what they deserved, although i did feel sympathy for Lorenzo at the end.... Ill definitely be reading the next books, amd finding out how everyone else is doing...

I really enjoyed this series. It ended as it should, but I will miss Beatrice and Gio. I'm looking forward to the next book that is Carwyn's story.

A good ending to this 4 part series. As with many series finales, it seemed to drag a bit as new characters were introduced and we waited to see their role, some unnecessary, but still good.

Read 23rd July 2013
Reread 28th May 2015
The last and final installment of Beatrice and Gio was the best one of the series but sadly also the end. I would give this at least 7 Stars well if it is an option anyway. So 7 “A Fall of Water Stars” Spoiler alarm.
Gio and the family are back in Los Angeles that is until they get a summons from Italy, Livia is stepmother has the whole weird Greek thing going on there. They still haven’t had any news on the elixir of life or Lorenzo. But they keep their training up. Tenzin and Ben are at their bickering again. The first time that I read this book I wanted a book about Ben and Tenzin. I have read [bc:Shadows and Gold|23593432|Shadows and Gold (Elemental Legacy 0.5)|Elizabeth Hunter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1417540369s/23593432.jpg|43195892] which is fantastic although it was a novella and too short for my liking. There will be 5 books altogether. I really want to see Tenzin and Ben have a HEA. Swaying a bit off the topic here. The banter between Tenzin and Ben is really funny.
”Are you one of those strange boys who likes to watch people do personal things? A ‘Peeping Tim’ “Tom! It’s a ‘Peeping Tom’ Tenzin.”
Rome, Italy
Livia has reigned in the Italian court for the past five hundred years. Livia’s mate was Gio’s sire. She is most certainly certifiable. She wants Gio in her court and most likely in her bed. Ick! Beatrice is introduced to Livia the hatred is mutual. At one of Livia’s parties, Lorenzo turns up and Livia’s hand is forced to arrest Gio of the crime of murdering his sire. No one needs to know the truth though. Geo is taken as a political prison. Giovanni has learnt the art of silence.
“Nothing will inflame your enemies more than silence. Nothing to accuse you with. Nothing to condemn you”
Gio manages to escape with some breaking and entering from Gavin, Jean and Deidre.
Meanwhile, the pieces of the puzzle are coming together. The four vampires from Geber’s research have been identified. Ziri the Numidian (air), Saba the Aethiop (earth), Arosh the Persian (fire) and Kato the Greek (water). Ziri helped Stephan De Novo just like he is helping Beatrice. Tenzin arrives in Rome with Lucien Thrax who took the elixir without realizing that there are side effects.
Tenzin is in Rome and has found out that Gio has been taken prisoner. Neither Carwyn or Tenzin like Livia and the feeling is mutual.
”Always a pleasure, Livia.” Carwyn stepped forward, snagging a passing glass of champagne. “I do love spending time in your incredibly ancient and imperial presence.” – Carwyn-
“We’ll fly up there, scare her. It we’re lucky, some of the guards will attack us and we’ll get to kill some.”-Tenzin-
Dez and Ben finding information and being attacked. Livia is on the warpath and she doesn’t care if humans are hurt. They have followed the connections for the production back to Livia and the cosmetics company that she owns in Bulgaria. It is a matter of building alliances. Gio and Beatrice don’t want to rule Rome so they need Emil di Conti.
Even with Lucien it is hard to prove that the elixir is more poison than cure. There Is no proof so they try and get proof by visiting and finding Arosh and Kato somewhere in current day Georgia. But there is a cure if your sire is alive.
Ms. Hunter has a way with words and the ending was epic. Just what one needs to end a series. This series is one of the few that I can reread without getting bored.
Livia was burnt and Lorenzo was killed. It is a long time to hold a vendetta against someone but I guess if you are immortal you have more than enough time.

Oh man. This book had so many jaw-dropping moments, it hurt my heart.
The arrest. Ben protecting Dez. Donatella’s last scene. Anosh. Kato. Gio’s last stand. Saba. The stained glass and it’s inscription.
This was so much better than I was expecting and I’m glad certain immortals got their just desserts.

What a satisfying end to this series. I appreciated finding some "humanity" in Lorenzo. It's good to know there are spin offs.
