Vengeance will be hers.

Allison Sekemoto once struggled with the question: human or monster? With the death of her love, Zeke, she has her answer.

Monster.

Allie will embrace her cold vampire side to hunt down and end Sarren, the psychopathic vampire who murdered Zeke. But the trail is bloody and long, and Sarren has left many surprises for Allie and her companions - her creator Kanin, and her blood brother, Jackal. The trail is leading straight to the one place they must protect at any cost - the last vampire-free zone on Earth, Eden. And Sarren has one final, brutal shock in store for Allie.

In a ruined world where no life is sacred and former allies can turn on you in one heartbeat, Allie will face her darkest days. And if she succeeds, her triumph will be short-lived in the face of surviving forever alone.

THE FINAL HUNT IS ON

I absolutely enjoyed this final instalment in the Blood of Eden series and I think that Julie did a fabulous job at wrapping the series up. The loose ends were tied up and I was swept away in an action packed finale that had my blood pumping. There were fight scenes galore, twists along the way and a few swoon moments thrown in that had me fist pumping the air!!

If you haven't read the first books in this series, I suggest you do so, as they all lead to this final show down. I once again journeyed over the broken country, fighting rabid's, raider’s and listened to Jackals constant jabs. Although I must say, for an evil raider king, I really liked him. Kanin is a great role model for her too. He was her maker, and saw potential in Allie right until the end. Together, these three vampires make an unstoppable and determined family.

Allison was such a great, resilient character. She has been through so much throughout this series but manages to soldier on. She has managed to keep the monster at bay so far, and wants vengeance after the conclusion of the last book. Watching Allie develop more as a vampire had me excited too. She stepped up when needed and managed to come back from the brink when she was ready to give in. Her family and travel companions keep her grounded as they hunt down Sarren, and I am glad they were able to band together for the final journey.

Although I had some predictions about the ending, I still enjoyed it thoroughly. The plot had plenty of twists, some that had me gasping, others that brought tears to my eyes, and Jackals humour and blunt words had me laughing. I am happy about the way this story was completed and was impressed by another of Julie's series. She has a style of writing that manages to draw you into her amazing world of characters that you become passionate about. Bring on the next Iron Fey book and Talon, a new series coming soon!!
