The Final Battle Against the Old Ones
The final fight is coming. Fort Fitzgerald and his friends have one week until Damian has promised to return and unleash the Old Ones on the Earth. Damian thinks he can defeat the Old Ones, but Fort believes that Damian will fail, unleashing the Old Ones on the Earth. Fort thinks his only hope is to find a way to destroy magic once and for all. But can he figure out how to do that in time?
This is the final book in the series, so if you haven’t read the earlier books, I definitely recommend you go back and start there. If you don’t, you’ll have some pretty cool twists spoiled for you. Fans will be happy with the story we get here. I do feel the author took a bit too long in the first half, time that could have been cut without impacting the story overall. But the second half is great, with the complications we’ve grown to expect from the series and a page turning climax. All the characters we love show up again here, and I enjoyed the growth some of them got. Fans of the series will be happy with how things are wrapped up.

a short book, but an intense one.
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
A short book, but an intense one.
Roderick kidnaps Alex, after a bit of road rage, but then lets him go, leaving notes for him to follow, or leave. Alex chooses to follow and there follows a bit of an awakening for them both.
Roderick had never done anything like this before, but the attraction he has to Alex is powerful and brings out a NEED in him that Roderick needs to satisfy. When Alex leaves in the morning, Roderick then follows Alex, to try to see if there could be more than this one-night stand.
I liked that it's intense between them, straight away. The attraction packs a powerful punch to Alex, as well as Roderick and in a way they didn't see coming.
Both Roderick and Alex have a say, but I thought Alex had the majority voice, indeed, I did not think Roderick would get a voice at first.
It's well written, and well delivered. I found it a smexy way to pass an hour. It just didn't blow me away.
