Prelim Review: In my review for the second book, QUEEN OF THE DEAD, I worried about how Kade would resolve the romance between Will and Ally. With Ally in Lily's body it gave them a chance...but at the cost of Lily and her life. I was worried--I honestly didn't see a 'good' solution for the problem, at least not one that left everyone satisfied.

Kade kind of resolves it. She makes it clear throughout the book that there is no more 'Lily'. She's moved on to the Light (the Light that Ally is desperately trying to get back) and without Ally's energy, Lily's body would die. So in the end Ally has an epiphany about the Light (the fact she decided to come back and leave it, not that it rejected her), that she can't hold Will back and he can't hold her back (it wasn't healthy for either of them to be so dependent on each other, as illustrated by Erin and her twin brother [who's name I forget right now and the book isn't with me]) and that sometimes second chances do happen (for her and for Lily).

But even with all that I felt kind of...weird about the ending.

Anyhow I found it interesting to find another Body-Hopping ghost in Erin and how she viewed the whole afterlife deal vs. how Ally did. It was heartbreaking to see Ally try and figure out how to be 'Lily' enough for Lily's family.

Sad it's over, glad it happened!! I LOVED this trilogy!! I'm not going to give anything away, but this book completely changed my mind about something that bugged me in the 2nd book. At the end of book 2 I was totally weirded out at the idea of Alona in Lily's body, but by the last part of book 3 I was completely fine with it. It made sense that if Lily was in the light and Alona had the choice, it was meant for her to be "Ally".
I LOVE Alona and Will together... I wish there could be more, but I know that if there was it would start getting stale at some point. Book 1 was definitely the strongest of the 3, but I still enjoyed seeing where these characters would go. I wish there would've been more about Will's father and the Order and things like that, but I still had a great time reading this last book :)

I relly wish there was another book in this series. I'm going to miss Alona and Will. Alona was a amazing, and is probably one of my top favorite female characters OF ALL TIME. And Alona and Will are definitely one of my favorite couples OF ALL TIME. ( )
