3.0 out of 5 stars Missing in Action...
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2016

I began the Aurora Sky series a month before the release of True North. My excitement around the series, plot twists and character development pumped me full of excitement as I patiently waited the climatic series finale. Unfortunately, the ending came without the climax I'd hoped.

True North, was very similar in pace to Whiteout, which was not my favorite in the series. There are several key players and when you read a book that alleviates those players, then you are left with a missing piece of the puzzle. The first few chapters in the book moved at a snails pace, and it took me about a week to get up to chapter 10. I forged ahead because of the expectations of ending the agency and the heroes winning. I won't spoil the book, but it definitely left me hanging.

As often as Fane and Aurora were missing in Whiteout, I felt the same situations occur in True North. Seventy-five percent of the book was a story-line that I really didn't care about. Aurora became more lackluster and dry, while others took on more of a focal point. She at times also became whiny and not the strong person we saw her as in the other novels.

Because I cannot give any spoilers, I will say the book ended and again it wasn't what I expected, but there is satisfaction in knowing that the good guys win. It's just how they won left me annoyed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing interesting until the final 1/4 of the book
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2016

I like this series by author Nikki Jefford. There are a lot of good ideas, characters that are interesting, and an engaging story. Overall, this series is good. I wish that the overall story arc was condensed into five books rather than the six.

Unfortunately, this book suffers from the “end of the line” syndrome. I feel that the last fourth of this book should have been included in book five, Whiteout. In fact, it would be great if Hunting Season, Whiteout, and True North could be edited down to two books, rather than three. Despite some very interesting plot points, there are parts of each of the three books that feel like filler.

There is not much character development in True North, other than that of Noel.

Aurora Sky Vampire Hunter is a good series, but I am not that impressed with this final book, (other than the aforementioned final fourth). 2 1/4 stars

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Ending to the Series (IF it is ending)
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2020

This is the sixth and what appears to be the last book in the Aurora Sky series.

It was a good book, not great, but enjoyable. Now remember back when I reviewed the first book in the series and I hoped that Aurora would grow up and mature? Well, she did. However, something in her personality just didn't set well with me. Her mother and grandmother were alone in Florida while she was chasing and being stalked in Alaska by Vampires...and she seldom, if ever, worried about them. She never called them but got upset when Grandma called her and it interrupted her "sex romp" with Fane. That little scenario left me wondering "has she even talked to her mother in the last six months or a year?"

And speaking of sex romps the author gets 4 stars simply because she did not go in-depth describing the sex. However, I felt there were entirely too many sex moments (but what do I know, I'm almost 64 years old and I left sex behind around the age of 55.)

The action and the plot were enjoyable. The usual characters all made an appearance Aurora, Dante, Fane, Noel, Selene, and Joss. The bad guys were represented by Melcher, Jarad, and Valerie. However, I do think that Aurora has been drugged enough times that she should be cautious about accepting any drinks from someone she doesn't know really well, especially if he/she makes the drink out of Aurora's view!

There were a few romantic cliffhangers that give me hope for another book or another series dealing with Noel. :) Dante gets attached to someone besides Aurora, Noel is looking at someone totally (at least to me) unexpected and he is looking back. Valerie and Jared made a good "Bonnie and Clyde".

I was cheering at the bad guy's deaths though one completely SHOCKED me, but I'm not going to reveal who it was. :)

I am happy to say that each book in the series improved and the author has turned into a very competent writer, one I would be happy to read another series from.

4.0 out of 5 stars Heroes come in all kinds of packages.

This is the last episode of Aurora Sky. Along with Fane, Dante, Noel, Joss, and all the other assassins and informants and even the baddies, Valerie, (aka Evil Red), Jared (gag) and Melcher, will be missed.

So, Jared is on the loose again, this time, he makes his whereabouts unknown, as he flies WAY below the radar (scum of the earth that he is). Meanwhile, as they wait, AND wait for sightings of said scumbag, Aurora and Fane and all take over the Agency, begrudgingly to Melcher.

Fane and Aurora get much, MUCH closer during this time. As do others, but I'm going to leave that as a surprise.

The ending has a huge twist, but of course I'm not going to tell you what that twist is or when it happens. Hehehe!! Yeah, I guess I'm evil in that way too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only for the die-hards
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2016

In the final book of the series, Aurora and the gang are hunting down Jared so they can save the world and get on with their eternal lives.

I found this to be the weakest of the books, mostly for a slow pace. Their search at a standstill, nothing happens until about the half way point, then it picks up for a few chapters, then dies down again until the end where it picks up for a doozy of a final scene. There's a lot of waiting in this book, a lot of daydreaming about Fane--like, way to much, unhealthy obsession, daydreaming of Fane (when this relationship ends, it's going to go down in a blaze of fire, I'm kind of curious about that book)--then more waiting, and then more daydreaming.

Over all, I think it was a good ending to the series, but it really didn't end leaving me wanting more like the author's other series did. The story felt like it was 80% filler to make it novel length when it was really only a novella's worth of actual content--but, I guess, who wants to end on a novella.

Title: True North
Series: Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter (#6)
Author: Nikki Jefford
From: Amazon
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Release Date: 7th July 2016
Challenges: 2016 New Release Challenge, Summer COYER 2016, 2016 Read the Books You Buy, 2016 Prequel & Sequel Challenge (12 points)
Links: Goodreads - Amazon
Synopsis (from Goodreads): Aurora has spent the past year fighting for survival, freedom, and justice. Now she’s about to face the biggest battle of her life. Field agents are turning up dead and everyone is working to stop Jared before he starts a full-blown war between vampires and hunters. Fane’s resolve and support has never been stronger. Aurora’s feelings for him are as constant as the North Star, but their future is teetering on thin ice. Aurora will make the ultimate sacrifice to protect her family and friends. In order to persevere, she must accept who she is and embrace the cold.

True North is book 6 in the Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter series and shouldn't be read as a standalone as it relys heavily on events in the previous books, though there is a small time jump between books 5 and 6. This review may contain minor spoilers to the previous books in the series.

I wasn't sure what to expect from the finale of Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter, but I don't think it was what I read! This had all the hallmarks of the previous books in the series but had an overall different feel to it. Its still narrated by Aurora and she still has her moments of funny but the events of the previous book did change her (as they probably should have!)

Aurora's love life is well and truly sorted in True North which did lead to Aurora thinking a lot dirtier thoughts. It's been clear since the beginning that increased sex drive was a thing for new vampires, and it'd been happening to Aurora gradually, but in this book it was out in full force, maybe even distracting Aurora to some extent!

The ending was messy in a good way. And by that I mean Jefford didn't just tie things up in a neat bow for the sake of it. In true Aurora & co. style the ending was complicated and nowhere near what they had planned. If that hadn't been the case then I think I'd have been disappointed!

This was a good ending to a great series, I'm just sad its over!

5.0 out of 5 stars Last in the series. Auroral Sky.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 18, 2016

It took a while to get into this book mainly due to the first half of the book not keeping me captivated. Which is a first for this series. Once the book became more interesting and on its usual fast paced and captivating theme it was well worth the read. I have given 5 stars because I feel that the second half of the book was worth it. Would recommend this series and the author. But was a bit disappointed in the begging of the book.

I've read Aurora Sky from the beginning. If you enjoy any other of Nikkis books you're sure to enjoy this series.
This book is by far the best in the series with characters being stories being laid to rest the author made sure to include everyone. Defiantly recommend if you've read the others if not get the first one and be prepared to fall in love and hate with some of the best and worst vamps and hunters !

What a great ending to one of the best series I've ever been drawn into. From the start I've loved Aurora she's a badass! And in this book a bit of a sexy one at that!
I'm not going to go into too much Illinois detail but needless to say Nikki has done a top job in wrapping the series up with humour, fun, drama, action and quite a bit of love.
Loved it.
