I absolutely love this series. I am not fully sure why that is. Olivers writing style just draws me in and I love the characters, the unique magic, and the world. I seriously could not put this book down, I just loved it soooo much. The fourth and final book in this series will be, Foretold, and is scheduled for an August 2012 release.
Riley finally has her dead dad back in custody. But with the Demon Hunters in town from the Vatican (and suspicions of her having made a deal with Hell) Riley is in danger. Not to mention the outfall of her liasons with a certain Fallen angel; after learning about that Beck is totally pissed at her. Problem is Riley can sense things are spinning out of control in Atlanta and she fears the final war between good and evil is close at hand.
Riley has finally gets a bit of relief after all of the horrible things that happened at the end of the last book. Her dad is dead, but has been recovered by Mort. But things arent going to ease up on her anytime soon, her liaisons with the Fallen Angel have made her a target of the Demon Hunters and now she is forced to go on the run.
Riley does some stupid things in this book, but she also grows a lot as a character. We finally see her opening up to some of the people around her and accepting their help.
We see a ton more of Peter and Beck in this book. It is wonderful to see what an awesome friend Peter is to Riley, she really needs the support and I am so glad he was there for her. Riley finally takes off the blindfold where Beck is concerned and it was great to see things finally heat up between those two.
We also see a lot more of Mort the necromancer, he was a wonderful character. Grandmaster Stewart is also a lot more involved in the plot and there are some awesome scenes involving him as well.
The book is incredibly action-packed. There are some seriously epic battle scenes in here and they are very very well written. So many things are starting to come together in this book. I had an incredibly hard time putting the book down. Olivers writing style is just so readable and has so much momentum, it is always a pleasure to read.
Much of the current story is wrapped up in this book, but not all of it. In fact the book ends in a way that will have readers dying to know whats going to happen in the final book, Foretold.
Overall an absolutely outstanding addition to this awesome series. If you are a fan of action-packed urban fantasy definitely check this series out. Appropriate for young adult and older.
