Sawyer Matthews is a retired and presumed-dead assassin. Ripped from her life of shadows and secrets, she’s decided to gamble it all and accept a new chapter in her life—one that may lead to a brighter future.
It slipped between her fingers. At the eleventh hour, the World Magi Council took away her evidence of redemption. The one thing she truly wanted and needed to live a normal life and prove she wasn’t what everyone believed. Instead, she has one journey left to make. One man to bring to justice.
But her support is reeling. The men she loves are dealing with a pain she only knows too well. They’re going to need to pull themselves together, look to the future, and finish this last task. She needs them and they need her as they work together on this trying and painful case as one question looms over them, casting a shadow over their days.
Can Sawyer find redemption in killing the monster that made her one?
It’s done. Sawyer and her men have their ending… These aren’t tears, it’s raining… inside.
While this installment wasn’t as loaded or heavy as the previous two (A Nature of Conflict and An Echo of Darkness), it still packed a punch with plenty of action, humor, heartfelt moments, and, well, endings.
It was a fitting final book to the series. It did the characters and their journeys justice.
I think this has been THE revelation of the year for me (and since it’s now December, yes, I can say that 😉 ). It was very, very well written, with great world-building and deep character development.
At its heart, it was Urban Fantasy, but still with a good portion of deep romance between Sawyer and her five men, her family.
It brought more depth and authenticity to the series (yes, yes, I know it’s still fantasy, but you know what I mean!), I loved it, and I loved the characters.
I’ll miss Sawyer and her men, but I’m grateful for the incredible journey they took us on.
This series is a true gem in the urban fantasy (with romance) genre, and I highly recommend it.
