⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Oh, yes. Hope, Paxton, and Drake live up to the expectations we have of them from the previous books, with spectacular results.

As the only female vampire ever born, and the heir to two powerful immortal families, Hope Kayrs-Kyllwood has always felt the weight of fate and destiny. Now her heart is torn between two men and two different futures. It’s a choice between duty and love, peace and war, with the fate of everyone she loves hanging in the balance.

As the leader of the Kurjan nation, Drake has always known that mating Hope is the best path to avoiding war. He’s counting on her to know the same. Paxton has been Hope’s best friend and protector since they were children. He would kill and die for her without a second thought. In fact, he’s always known that would be his path…

With deadly factions at her heels, Hope must decide whom to trust and where her loyalty lies, before the choice is taken away from her.

MY THOUGHTS

Well, I have a lot of thoughts about this book, but I can’t put all of them down without giving away some spoilers. So, I’ll just say that this was exciting, heart-stopping, nail-biting action at its finest. Filled with unexpected surprises, this book brings a supremely satisfying end to the Seven’s journey.

In case you’re wondering, I’m giving this a four because there were some questionable parts for me. Sorry, can’t go into any more detail than that, but I still loved it.

I can highly recommend this entire series if you like steamy paranormal romance with fast-paced action. It is definitely best to read the books in order, though you could probably jump in with book number 8, Vampire’s Faith. But they are all well worth reading.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
