MY REVIEW

It’s always hard to review the next book in a series and this is the fourth and final book. Each review gets shorter to prevent spoilers. I adored this series and while I was sad to see the end was near, I was anxious to find out what happened.

Each book got more serious, more dangerous and I worried for many of the characters.

Some get their happy ever afters, some don’t, and some get something in between.

There’s a huge loss, betrayal, misdirection and confrontations. Characters become suspect, then not, then suspect again. It’s hard to determine who’s up to what, and minor characters take on more prominent roles. It will keep you reading into the wee hours.

The story unravels quickly. You’ll be knocked on your heels by a tragedy and the action is relentless.

Nothing was rushed or awkward as the author revealed the answers to my questions and led me deep into a deadly mystery.

It all builds until it boils over. Pouring out the finale with a big surprise and a most enchanting ending.

Tragedy, triumph, romance that’s not too dicey, and scenes that leap out at you, I left this world with a hint of sadness and a smile, and I recommend this series to everyone.

Book Description:

Edward Scot and Victor Blackwood have despised one another for nearly a quarter of a century, but now their simmering hatred is about to erupt.

When Cassie Scot returns home from her sojourn in Pennsylvania, she finds that her family has taken a hostage. Desperate to end the fighting before someone dies, Cassie seeks help from local seer Abigail Hastings, Evan Blackwood’s grandmother. But Abigail has seen her own death, and when it comes at the hand of Cassie’s father, Victor Blackwood kills Edward Scot.

But things may not be precisely as they appear.

Evan persuades Cassie to help him learn the truth, teaming them up once again in their darkest hour. New revelations about Evan and his family make it difficult for Cassie to cling to a shield of anger, but can Evan and Cassie stop a feud that has taken on a life of its own?

Conclusion to the Cassie Scot series.
