A Secret to Die for - Sierra Dean

Secret McQueen thought she’d seen it all, but that was before she, Desmond and Holden came home to find New York City burning and the streets overwhelmed with the walking dead. Now, in a race against time, she must find out who is responsible for unleashing hell on Earth.

For that, she’s going to need a whole new team of vampire wardens to help round up the perpetrators, who turn out to be a gang that makes Sons of Anarchy look like toddlers on tricycles.

Her quest across the city brings old friends and enemies out of the woodwork and reminds Secret once and for all why mercy and forgiveness are not always prudent. Lives will be lost, sacrifices will be made, and when the dust settles, nothing will ever be the same again.

With no time to mourn her losses, the only question remaining is if Secret can survive long enough to stop the apocalypse…or if this is the one challenge that will finally drown her in rivers of undead blood.

Warning: The final book in the Secret McQueen series has it all: hot kisses, unexpected guests, and enough tear-jerking moments to require a whole box of tissues. You’ve been warned.

My thoughts:
This is the end. I am sad, but I am also happy. Too many series have gone downhill. But Secret manages to stay on top of things and never go bad. I m sad that it's over, and I do hope she writes more books, or novellas set in this universe.

The last book ended with a bang. They come back and find New York on fire and zombies everywhere. Awesome! Or not so awesome as things are going to hell and fast. But fear not because Secret is here and she has vampires and werewolves to help her.

First order of business. Zombies, there are no zombies, or? Better take them all down.
Second order of business. Trying for a happily ever after.

There will be tears. There will be action. There will be an evil baddie (that also had me laughing as I saw the name ;). There will even be romance, and heartache. The heartache was from me. Evil evil author. Think of my heart!

As for the choice. I am happy with the choice she made. It fits her, and I could see her happy now.

There was also something else that had me smiling. Yes I know I am cryptic but I can't spoil things now can I? Well done. I was really happy with those turns of events *cryptic*.

Secret is kick-ass. We meet new friends and old ones. Things get sad, I despair, I get happy.

Conclusion:
This is a series you must read.

  7. I started this one many moons ago, but have stalled because...well, it's really not a genre I tend to read. And the covers that imply there is a love triangle also has me backing way the eff off. Lol.
