My Thoughts

Ughhhhhhhh. I have so many emotions and feelings about this conclusion. It was honestly so perfect in every single way and I am so sad that the series is over. I consciously planned to read a book a month of the series so that I could savor it. It was that good that I didn’t want it to end. I also think it helped that this series didn’t really do cliffhangers, each book had a mystery that would be solved at the end. Therefore, I wasn’t really screaming to finish because I needed to know what happens next, but I continued purely because I loved the characters and the writing.

This installment has to be my favorite of the series. Everything I was a little annoyed with (ummmm lack of steam and unnecessary love triangles) from the other installments were not present in this book. It was purely a heart pumping mystery and so many adorable and steamy scenes with Audrey and Thomas.

The first 100 pages were SO ADORABLE! Omg Thomas is like a fine ass wine, he just gets better over time and this book REALLY acknowledges that fact. However, there was a snag (I’m not going to say what because spoilers) and it ROCKED MY WORLD! I was DEVASTATED and so angry for a minute there oooooooooo boy! The push and pull of their relationship ripped out my soul and then pushed it back in, multiple TIMES! Thomas really annoyed me for a minute there which I didn’t think could happen, but all relationships have their bumps and I guess it was time for me and Thomas to have a little squabble…. ALSO MAJOR STEAM ALERT HERE! I mean it’s steamy to Victorian era standards, but I will take what I can get and run with it. It wasn’t everything I wanted, but I’m a smut skank and I am always going to want more than I am given.

The mystery in this book was so intriguing and took me back to the very beginning of this series! I loved it! The final chapters of the book were so suspenseful and I was freaking out the entire time! I mean to be actually in that place was insane and gave me so many nightmares! The killer is also one of my FAVORITE serial killers of all time, I mean that makes me a terribly morbid, but I honestly don’t care. He makes such an excellent villain and I WAS OBSESSED!

This book made me squeal, made me cry, made me laugh, and made me just so emotional. Ugh it was so amazing and such a perfect way to end one of my favorite series.
