The thief Widdershins and her own "personal god," Olgun, return to their home city of Davillon after almost a year away. While Shins expects only to face the difficulty of making up with her friends, what she actually finds is far, far worse. Her nemesis, Lisette, has returned, and she is not alone. Lisette has made a dark pact with supernatural powers that have granted her abilities far greater than anything Widdershins and Olgun can match.
Together, Widdershins and Olgun will face enemies on both sides of the law, for Lisette's schemes have given her power in both Davillon's government and its underworld. For even a slim chance, Shins must call on both old friends--some of whom haven't yet forgiven her--and new allies.
Even with their help, Widdershins may be required to make the hardest sacrifice of her life, if she is to rid Davillon--and herself--of Lisette once and for all.

For review
My thoughts:
The end, that is always sad. But a good series has to end sometime. And better it end good, then go on and on...
Widdershin is back in the city she left. Old friends are happy, and angry to see her. Old enemies want her dead. Well Lisette wants her dead, and Lisette is such a B.
The city is in trouble in this one. Monsters outside, thieves killing and robbing inside. The noble Houses are fighting. The police are patrolling and everyone is on edge. Not to mention she is on their bad list.
Widdershins kicks ass as always, but she is not indestructible and she does get hurt too. She has bad enemies, and not even Olgun can help her. Awww Olgun, I think I like him most of all. Our favorite God who talks to her as she is his only follower and if she dies, then no one will remember him. Olgun never says anything, but it's not needed, she talks to him and it's like I hear him too.
Conclusion:
A book with a bang to end this series. Though...I want more! Yes it ended, it ended well. Everything fixed but but, I'd like more! Like what is she up to after 10 years? No good, I presume, or maybe all good. See I am curious :) I do want more.

Good
Sounds like the book ended in a perfect chaos. Glad you loved its ending!
ReplyDeleteIt was good
DeleteSeries enders are indeed tough. I'll cross my fingers for you that the author will come out with a spin-off.
ReplyDeleteCarmel @ Rabid Reads
That would be so cool, one can always wish
DeleteA cover you like! I am impressed :p
ReplyDeleteHaha, I know
DeleteI'm glad the series ended well. This series is new to me, I need to check first book out.
ReplyDeleteI like the cover too.
I think you could like it
DeleteYay for it ending well. That always makes me nervous when I'm getting to the last one in the series.
ReplyDeleteSame here
DeleteI'm glad it ended well. Very pretty cover.
ReplyDeleteKaren @For What It's Worth
I have liked all the covers so far
DeleteGlad this was a strong ending, and I totally understand about wanting more.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteDEFINITELY better that a series end than linger on forever, becoming increasingly unsatisfying.
ReplyDeleteTotally
DeleteI feel like I should start book 1 soon! And that is a good cover.
ReplyDeleteYes you should
DeleteI do wonder, even a novella could be fun, you know, 10 years later
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great ending to a series!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI was so sad at the end of this...even though the ending was bittersweet, and I understood it had to end this way. I would love to see future stories in this world even if Widdershins was to make just a cameo. One thing I would have liked to see was her getting together with Renard! Felt bad for the guy keeping that secret bottled up for years!

Oh yes! I wanted that too *sad* But hey I can always think that it does happen in a couple of years
DeleteOh yes! This is a series I've been wanting to read. So glad that it ends well! Hm... I think this pushed it up a bit on the wishlist.
ReplyDeleteYay :)
DeleteEpic AND a short novel to boot? Wow!
ReplyDeleteTotally :)
DeleteSadly I have to agree with you on a series ending. End great and in time, not dragged on because they can make a few more dollars. I like that. But it's sad to get to the end as well. A series that I need. :)
ReplyDeleteI do have a few series I like, and they are still good, BUT I am started to feel tired of them cos they do drag
DeleteI"m gmad that this last book was good! But well sad you don't have more.
ReplyDeleteSad indeed
DeleteGood cover.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI love strong, well written endings. Anything less and I feel horribly cheated. And you're right, the cover is really beautiful :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt's simple and not :)
DeleteIt is a good series if you are not ready for it to end after all. Glad you enjoyed it so much B.
ReplyDeleteI do want more
DeleteGlad you enjoyed this series!
ReplyDelete:)
Deletegood and sad that it ends well but leaves you wanting more. Cool cover :)
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI don't think I'd even heard of this series. SO. Sorry for you that it ended (but glad it ended well), and happy for me b/c new series ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha, yes good for you
DeleteI agree. I'd rather a series be short and good than long and go down hill. I'm glad the series ended well. I have to try this one still.
ReplyDeleteAt least you know they are all out now
DeleteI added this series when I found this on your blog, and I am very sad to say that I have not purchased it yet. I really want to dig into this one. It looks wonderful. And those COVERS! Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI do love all these covers, so pretty :)
