What a lovely, lovely conclusion to this compelling series. I feel quite a bit lost at the moment: I'm both excited and sad to have finally reached Cooper and Park's hard-fought HEA.
Their final adventure was fantastic and riveting and creepy and shocking and heart-stopping, and even though I can safely say that it's not my favourite story out of the five (the last book of a series rarely is for me: I can't help loving the first ones more, with all the getting-to-know-each-other and surprises it entails), I really really loved it.
Charlie Adhara is a truly talented storyteller and her prose is fantastic: she manages to weave the story together seemlessly and effortlessly, with just the right amount of a poetic undertones to it, without making it seem unnatual and forced. Her writing feels momentous in a way, like I could be changed by it just by reading about Cooper's thoughts and feelings and fears: I'm not a picky reader, far from it, but this book's prose? It's always been good, but I think the author reached a truly spectacular peak this time around.

I loved how everything that has happened to Cooper and Park since the beginning of their adventure seems to weave into this story, into the big picture that the reader (and Cooper) finally start seeing. Wolves and humans, Cooper and Park's combined past and traumas, their friends and family, all the big players of the story (from the Trust to the WIP) have a part to play here and even though some things are (deliberately, I would guess) left vague and unresolved, I really enjoyed how it all came together.

The mystery plot of this book wasn't my favourite, surprisingly, but it's by far the creepiest, most momentous and life-changing murder adventure Cooper and Oliver have had. It's also fairly addicting: I managed to devour this book in a day, even though I currently have two other books I definitely should be finishing on hold.
Cooper and Park both shone so much this time around and the way they work together and understand each other with just a glance, their partnership and their love story, all of it feels so natural and lovely. And seeing them both so sure and confident about their relationship? It was priceless.
Cooper was, as usual, one of my favourite characters and I'm really sorry to be leaving his very unique, prickly and sarcastic voice behind: I'll miss him a ton.

The epilogue nearly made me bawl my eyes out, but I'm so damn excited for Eli's story. He's such a different character from Cooper, sunny and flirty and soft in a way, and I really cannot wait to see what the author has planned for him and how his voice will sound (at least, I'm hoping we'll be getting his POV: if not, I might seriously cry and/or jump out of a moving car).
