Review: Succubi are forever - Jill Myles


Tasked by the Archangel Gabriel, Jackie Brighton must find two more lost archangel halos before she's free of her deal. But she's not the only one hunting for the immense power the halos bring, and everyone around her has motives - succubi, serim, and vampire. It's a race to the finish line, and only one person is going to come out on top. 

But will Jackie stand tall when even her allies are set to betray her? Noah Gideon is back, and he's never liked taking 'no' for an answer. The mysterious assassin Sophie is helping out, but Sophie has her own agenda. So does Jackie's newest rival, the ancient hetaera Phryne, who wants to use the halos to give a new world to succubi everywhere - one that doesn't involve their masters. 

Every immortal wants those halos, but Jackie's not sure they're worth her life, or Zane's freedom. 

But she might not have a choice..

My thoughts:
I was so sad when book 3 ended, cos even if the ending worked, it was obviously not the end since so many things were left hanging in the air. The publisher wanted no more books, grrr. But luckily Myles self published this last one to give Jackie and Zane some closure.

Jackie still needs those halos, and the hunt is on. She is awesome as always. Together with BFF former porn star Remy, Remy's boyfriend a former monk (Ethan is awesome too), and of course Zane, awww I love my fav fallen angel turned vampire.

The book is all about the hunt, hot hot passion, heartache (Myles managed to tear my heart into pieces, I was so sad)), and then she managed to make me happy at the end. Lots of twists and turns, and I am happy she wrote this last one so that I could be satisfied with the ending I got.

Conclusion:
A fun series that you should read.

  4. I've been wanting to read this series. I do believe I read like the 3rd one or something... you know me. So glad she self-published this one to give some closure. Love it when authors do that!

  5. It's awesome that she went ahead and wrote and published this book herself despite the publisher not wanting any more books. She clearly knows how much fans love her characters and wanted to give them (and I'm sure herself) that closure:) Need to read these!

  7. A monk, a porn star and a fallen angel go to a bar...might be fun, might be not. Especially if Phryne the hetaera is joining them. You know, the word phryne means “toad”

  17. Very cool that the author self-pubbed the end to give fans closure. And a porn star and a monk? That is some wildly mixed company. Glad you enjoyed this one!
