Immediately after finishing River Of Shadows I ran to Libby to see when I could start this audiobook because nothing else would do. It said 18 WEEKS. WHAT?? THAT WILL NOT DO SIR/MAAM. So I scoured the internet to find a way to listen to it without having to pay $35. Luckily I found it, happy dance commenced. 

Immediately, I was back in the Underworld where I left off but with one more voice to guide me along the way. I couldn't have imagined Deaths voice sounding quite like that, but I'll take what I can get. Because it's not my vision. I'm just here to be in the world that I have come to love as the Underworld! 

Hanna was such a warrior and I couldn't imagine being on the journey that she was on. Going from one place to another, back and forth, back and forth. Like it's not confusing enough. And on top of everything she is being dealt a huge blow of some crazy information!! Like what in the world is going on?? Daddy-O was BUSY!! Hanna learned a lot on her journey but also saw where she knew she belonged. It definitely wasn't where she thought it was. It was where her heart had grown to love someone so quickly. 

I couldn't believe my ears when everything quickly escalated and progressed the way that they did. I can't say anything because it will spill the beans. Literally give EVERYTHING away. 

I love this series with my whole heart and chest. This series has been a favorite front he beginning and it has wrecked me towards the ending of this book. Be prepared to shed some tears 😭. I cried for a good few minutes. I was in shock, awe, and couldn't get out of that headspace. 

The end redeemed itself but still left us on a cliffhanger! I cannot wait to dig into the next book but it will have to be sans audiobook because at this time there isn't one!
