    About this audiobook

    Following the discoveries made by Cormac in Low Midnight, Kitty and her allies are ready to strike. But when their assassination attempt on the evil vampire Dux Bellorum fails, Kitty finds herself running out of time. The elusive vampire lord has begun his apocalyptic end game, and Kitty still doesn't know where he will strike.
    Meanwhile, pressure mounts in Denver as Kitty and her pack begin to experience the true reach of Dux Bellorum's cult. Outnumbered and outgunned at every turn, the stakes have never been higher for Kitty. She will have to call on allies both old and new in order to save not just her family and friends but the rest of the world as well.

    • 5/5
      Awesome way to end the series but I can't help but hope she writes a few more!
    • 4/5
      The series finally draws to an end -- with a solid culminating adventure. Love the wish fulfillment, the wrap-up, the world set back to right, and Kitty getting some long-deserved regular life rest.
    • 4/5
      After a few shaky Kitty novels (Low Midnight being the first big perk up), I think the series ended on a solid note. Two issues:

      1. The villains and the villain plot were anti-climactic. All this...just to obtain a MacGuffin and blow up a volcano? That's so... That's such unsophisticated villainy. Thousands of years of gathering followers, forming a network, amassing power...just For The Evilz? (Goes for Roman AND his somewhat unexpected but not totally out of place boss, Lucifer) Why not puppet governments that favor vampires? Why not just implode the stock markets?

      1a. The climax was also a little anti-climactic. Kitty had a showdown with Roman and wins. This happens just barely in the nick of time to stop the big eruption, and then it's all over, and this is all in the last 10% of the book. I'm sort of getting impatient with books shoving their climaxes into the final pages, and only squeezing in a moment of denouement where maybe a couple characters chat to summarize everything.

      2. The epilogue and Kitty's reward. I'm happy for her and Ben for finally getting the chance to have a baby, and I appreciated Kitty's difficulty with finally making the Change again after so long. It's just that it seems fiction abhors non-biological babies. If a character is debating an abortion, odds are they won't actually go through it. (If they ever had one, it'll be in their backstory and nothing current.) If a couple can't conceive and start kicking around the idea of adoption, she will suddenly get pregnant and they can just forget all that nonsense.

      (Unless I'm forgetting it being discussed that Kitty and Ben would totally be rejected by all the adoption agencies due to her being a famous and prominent werewolf. But that seems like the kind of thing Kitty would have vented about on air at some point...)

      I wish they didn't get a magic artifact reward (with invisible strings still attached!) and Kitty's domestic Happily Ever After involved a continuation of making your own family, of making your circumstances work even if they're what you intended or planned. Or at the very least, maybe suggesting they'd see how one kid was working out, then start trying to adopt a second or third.

      2a. I thought the happy ending would have been more bittersweet. I mean, if you're fighting to stop the end of the world, you think you'd lose people along the way in that ultimate battle. Not a complaint per se, but perhaps ties into my first point about the resolution being a bit anti-climactic.


      Okay, make it 3 issues:
      Kitty's pack mysteriously vanishes so they can't be used against her (though not, like, telling her that doesn't seem very helpful because she wastes some time trying to locate them). Plus, there's the whole "her friends and allies are her superpower" thing. Her actual wolf pack was sorely underutilized in the series, and were even forcibly removed from the story in the final epic showdown. Lucky them. Maybe her happy ending should have involved abdicating to focus on her true pack: Ben, Cormack, etc. (Not seriously.)
    • 5/5
      A good ending to a series but... is it the end?

      I'm sad for this to be the last book. I liked the series a lot but I'm glad it ended with a great book, so many writers continue writing long after the story should have ended. I have a feeling that even if there aren't any more Kitty books, she and the other characters may resurface from time to time if Cormac does get his own spin-off series. Let's hope so.
    • 4/5
      Excellent, vibrant, satisfying ending to the series. The only problem I had with it was the Bad Guy's Plan is a surprise only if you have never heard about the Yellowstone volcano and how disastrous its eruption would/will be.

      But overall, great ending. Everything came together, a lot of great characters made appearances, and all the threads were tied up.
    • 3/5
      A wrap up book for the series. In the end it seems sort of contrived and standard in the way it wraps everything up. It's a good book and read but seems lacking somehow.
