Publisher's summary

There’s thunder on the horizon, and the lightning of war is about to strike.

After years of struggle, Layla Cassidy has finally mastered the dark powers that threatened to control her and turned them to good. She’s ready to fight, but the next battle will be her greatest test yet.

The forces of Avalon are growing ever stronger, reinforcing their dominance with almighty displays of brutality. When Abaddon comes close to crushing Layla and her friends, it’s clear that the thunder of war is about to give way to lightning—and that they have no chance of surviving it alone.

The final battle against Abaddon is drawing closer. Now Layla and her friends must fight for themselves—and the future of the world. To win, they will need every power and ally they can muster. But even with all their strength, will it be enough to stand against the impending doom?

A very engaging action thriller.

The author does more than just create great action suspense, he pulls you into the action with charismatic characters. You feel their emotions and desires as strongly as your own.

Her pronouncing is awful

The narrator is awful. I feel if you're going to be reading a fantasy book, you should try to pronounce characters names correctly. I shouldn't have to think to understand who she means.

Brilliant way to end a phenomenal trilogy. The voice work is amazing and fits each character nicely.

names

There were a few horrendous name pronunciations. Abadon, Chiron, and Cerberus. It threw things off a little.

good way to end the

I loved this book. Steve ended his arc like his other books, plenty of action and wondering what the next book will hold.

wonderful conclusion

This book was great! My only quibble with it is that the ending was a little too quick based on the lead in to it, but in no way does it "ruin" the book. the narrator was wonderful, i hope both her and the male narrator from the hellequin series split the narration in the new series!

A satisfying end with openings for more later. I'll be watching for other books in this series.
