My Thoughts
The fun was there, but at the same time, I did not like how it ended. It was all building up to a Beep book set in the future, with I guess lots of dead people as ghosts helping her in the war. This book ended in a cliffie that way and that is a horrible way for a series to end.
THe apocalypse is happening. Charley return to her gang to help save the world, for this time. There are "zombies", lots of death regarding people you like. Revelations, and she even has time to solve a a crime of a missing girl. Which, considering was really strange. Focus on the big bad.
But the whole book was at the same time a build up for a future Beep book as nothing is solved
And I just can not like Osh, I find it creepy. It was one thing with Reyes, but Beep is a baby in these books.
So do not expect a neat ending. The big battle is still to come. But I enjoyed it for old times sake.
Synopsis
Charley Davidson, Grim Reaper extraordinaire, is pissed. She’s been kicked off the earthly plain for eternity – which is the appropriate amount of time to make a person starkraving mad. But someone’s looking out for her, and she’s allowed to return after a mere hundred years in exile. Is it too much to hope for that not much has changed? Apparently it is. Bummer.
She’s missed Reyes and her daughter, Beep, but now that she’s back on earth, it’s time to put to rest burning questions that need answers. What happened to her mother? How did she really die? Who killed her? And are cupcakes or coffee the best medicine? It all comes to a head in an epic showdown between good and evil in this final smart and hilarious novel.
I love the creativity of that key on the cover, but I'm not a fan of cliffhangers in books. I read a book years ago that I loved so much, and the new book was set to release a year later, giving us closure. It's 7 years later, and I'm still waiting(lol) Hugs...RO
ReplyDeleteWell I can't say it is a cliffie since the series ended..
DeleteAnd yes! I have waited for a book since 2011
I am sorry to hear the end was a let down.
ReplyDelete:/
DeleteRight? I felt a little let down, too. But no matter. I love this series so much that I'm looking forward to reading the continuing series. :)
ReplyDeleteI had a harder time getting over it :/ It just went on too long and then this end felt like a cop out
Deleteyeah we stll wait for more!
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteThe more I see of this series the more I don't want to continue. I'm only on book 3 ugh. I hate when a series ends but then doesn't so frustrating
ReplyDeleteYeah...after a while, I can not remember where they started to drag for me
DeleteI had a love hate relationship with this series. Book 3 was on the bad side. I was ready to stop, but then someone suggested listening instead. Lorelei King does an AMAZING job, and it allowed me to forgive some of the problems I had with the series.
DeleteSounds like it is just a bridge book and a filler.
ReplyDeleteConsidering this was the last book...ugh
DeleteWOw... we had totally different looks at this one. I didn't feel that ending was a cliffhanger, in as much as it was more a shocker but in fun. That's how Charley rolls. YES... this is probably a set up for future titles, but I thought the author did a good job of closing all the outstanding issues directly around Charley. Beep's time is still to come. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteI have been disenchanted with them for a while now, and when it ended like this. I mean hello her kid her kid!
DeleteI really do want to start reading this series soon. How disappointing that things didn't wrap up in this one though.
ReplyDeleteLast book in the series and no ending
DeleteI can't believe this series lasted this long. But no, a series should not end on a cliffie in any way shape or form! What the heck!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Worst ending ever, it was like this come hither and read my next series thing
DeleteSometimes a series should end before it gets annoying!
ReplyDeleteYES
DeleteI stared at that last sentence and gasped. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun one in the usual way. I had the same impression about what was she doing solving a murder when the end of the world was going on. LOL
The whole murder thing was ridiculous. I mean there are more important things to focus on
DeleteShame on me for not getting to this series yet. I was so behind in read, and still am but I hope to get some reading done.
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day, and then you an skip like books 8 to 12 ;)
DeleteI had some issues with this book too. I enjoyed it, but there are issues. I can't explain without spoilers, but feel free to DM if you want to talk about :-)
