Conclusion

yes!
Recommending: yes!

Short Review: Yay more hybrids :D i loved the new additions in this book. It was a bit hard to keep everyone straight since some only used their other name maybe twice in the book. So that was a bit hard. The love hexagon going on in this book is making me smile. Devon, Addie, Ryan, Eva, and then (shot i don't remember his name!) Anyhow, great to see how that'll end. The action in this book was great! I was pleasantly surprised by it. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see how it played out. I need the third book ASAP please! I need to see how this plays out!!!

Short Review: Well that was boring as hell. Seriously it was soooo drawn it, it's crazy. I skim most of the last 10pgs since there were extremely unneeded. The whole book is written way too well to be believable that it's how the MC thinks. She's a teenager, not a well thought out 30yr old. I was bored 98% of the time. I'm glad this series is over.

Short Review: Wow. I just love this series! I heart the fact that they are now including "Zombie" PoVs in the books more now, i love them so much. Greenman was so interesting and his part in the end was great. Saint George is still as badass as he was in the last book. I love Shadownman! He is just awesome. I felt like i was reading a documentary when it was his PoV and it was great. The gore was amped up in this book from the previous books, so be aware of that. Lots of death going around.

Short Review: I just love this series so much. For reals, i usually hate chick lit, but love this. It's such a fluffy read but at the same time, there is a sense of expense in there from her avoiding her bill collectors. I wish i could live her life, shopping every day :D i do hope her romance grows greatly and he doesn't find out about her debt, or if he does, he accepts and not get crazy mad. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Short Review: The plot behind this was so interesting. I wish i had another "soul" in side of me. Just think about all the possibilities! I loved Addie and Eva, they were great MCs. Ryan and Devon were adorable. I love how Addie/Eva learned to tell which "soul" was currently in charge of their body. I was rooting for Eva to get control back of their body! The ending was so good. Things didn't go the way i was hoping for, but there still might be a happy ending, and i'm very much looking forward to seeing how the love square of Addie, Eva, Ryan, and Devon goes :D

Evaline Stoker and Mina Holmes have reluctantly agreed to act as social chaperones and undercover bodyguards for Princess Lurelia of Betrovia, who has arrived in London to deliver a letter that details the secret location of an ancient chess queen that's been missing for centuries.
