This is the probably the best book in the whole series and it just was so good from start to finish. It was very action packed and bad ass and the book ending was fantastic.

The whole series is 5/5 and I would recommend this for anybody who loves the Mythology books. This series is in my top 3 for this Genre. ( )

I want... no, I need... no, I demand... no, I REQUIRE a spin-off/sequel series about the Blood Wars. I REQUIRE that Ari, Bastian, Henri, dubs, Crank, Menai, Archer, Michel, and theron to all be there. They can be older, and they don't have to be main, but they must be THERE. They also must be paired up correctly. Make it hapen, Keaton! ( )

This was an excellent book in this series. I loved all the mythology and monsters that come out to play. This book does an excellent job in wrapping up the storyline followed in the first couple books.

There is a new storyline hinted at involving Athena's son at the end of this book. However, given the reviews I am reading of Heart of Stone (book 4, and the majority of reviews are poor) I am going to consider this book the last in the series and move on. There is a rather large gap in time between The Wicked Within and Heart of Stone, so it seems like Heart of Stone was kind of an add-on maybe?

I enjoy Keaton’s writing style and the darker more edgy tone this series has when compared to other YA urban fantasy series out there. I also love how deeply mythology is woven into the story.

Overall this was an excellent conclusion to the storyline started in book one. I really enjoyed the world-building, the characters, the action, and the mythology. I would recommend to those who enjoy darker YA urban fantasy. This series reminds me a lot of the Demon Trappers series by Jana Oliver in tone. ( )

It's finally complete. They didn't even have it on the shelves yet when I went to buy this one. ha

Love the ending of the story. I also really like that there is the potential for more to be told in the future, but you don't need to know more. You're satisfied with the story as it is.

Violet is by far my favourite. The poor thing.

P.s... What happened to the hands after they fell? ( )

A satisfying conclusion to a solid series. I don't quite get the inclusion of Horus--mixing pantheons always seems weird, as in the "Need" books--but I still enjoyed these books and look forward to the inevitable spin-off series. ( )
