Book six of the St. Croix Chronicles In this final installment of Cherry St. Croix's adventures, only one thing could compel the disgraced countess to return to Society--the threat of immortality. All is not peaceful in the wake of the Midnight Menagerie's ruin. Although the Karakash Veil has been forced to flee its stronghold, the mysterious head of the criminal organization is not content to fade away. Above the foggy drift, a priceless diamond vanishes. In the dangerous Underground, a murderous rampage demands retribution. The hunt for the mastermind behind these misdeeds sends me back to Society--and into the unforgiving embrace of the world I'd left behind. Nothing is what it seems. Enemies, allies--and a man who struggles with a nature even devotion cannot tame. Torn between the scars of the past and fragile new beginnings, I must create balance in the world I have chosen--and with the people I have come to love. The game has changed; should the Veil achieve the immortality it craves, I will have nowhere left to run. 103,000 words… (more)

2.5/5
Right. Let me explain the low rating first.

I've been a staunch supporter of this series from the very beginning. A flawed heroine, a steampunk setting, a dual life full of secrets and hidden identities, an obsession with a forbidden savage leading Karakash Veil's Menagerie. What's not to love?

However, while the first two books were amazing, the rest of the series slowly went down in quality, and while my hope flared up when Cherry got cleaned up in Tempered, it promptly died with the book after.



I've been talking about the phenomenon that is Cherry with my book buddies, and I agree that at the core of my dissatisfaction is the fact that our girl doesn't deliver the kickassery she promises again and again.

If you think about it, all she's ever done was fail after boasting that she will prevail. It's like every time she is bigging herself up, but messes up when it comes to action. And the opportunities wasted.... Oh my God, am I the only one thinking that this series would have improved vastly with a hot threesome mess with such formidable characters as Hawke and Ashmore?

But no, Hawke has a fleeting couple of moments with Miss St. Croix and Ashmore becomes a steady friend and mentor after a hot scene in a Gothic mansion... Well, yes I am disappointed. What's the point of writing such delicious male specimen and not utilising them at the fullest?

So my low rating is reflecting my disappointment with the series in general.I also found that the amount of internal monologue and rehashing everything that happened before in Transmuted bored me to death, and I kept skimming to actual action scenes, of which there are only three!

And while the end battle is grand, it just wasn't redeeming enough to let me feel satisfied reading the last scene of Transmuted. Alas, I can only recommend the first two books in this series. ( )
