Helena Hawthorn Book 4
Helena’s life is back to normal. College, friends, family…everyone’s happy. Yet, she can’t understand what is missing. No matter how hard she tries to fake her excitement about a new movie or laugh over a cup of coffee during lunch, it doesn’t feel right.
Peace doesn’t last long. A demon appears, claiming to be her friend and lifts the memory block Lucious had put up. Outraged he had done this to her, she decides to go against her family’s wishes and pursue him in London. Only one problem remains: she’s losing control of her body.
Lucious is unable to mend his broken heart. He grew complacent and cares little about the proceedings of the Council while Kallias takes the lead. With the hunter threat growing and the werewolves no longer willing to help stabilise London, to unify the vampires all over the world, Kallias believes it is time to awaken the one true leader—Arthemis.
The full cycle comes to an end. Lilia and Helena are faced with the original vampire. Despite their differences, a choice must be made with grave sacrifices. Will they save humanity or let vampires rule the world?
For readers who enjoyed The Vampire Diaries by L. J. Smith, Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer, or A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest
My Review:
After leaving me nearly incoherent at the end of the previous book, this one proceeded to put me through the wringer all over again. And I simply don’t know the right words to explain how fantastic this book was without digging myself deep into spoiler territory. This book is more straight-forward in where the threats are coming from, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less exciting. It’s filled with action that goes by in a breathless blur and kept me on the edge of my seat for the entire book. I loved seeing Helena and Lucious further grow and develop, both as individuals and as a team. I adored this chance to learn more about the Fates, the Father of all vampires, and his royal children. I’m grateful that this book leaves them in ‘a good place’ in the calm of the storm, because this pair hasn’t known a lot of peace and I know it won’t last long. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.
