Publisher's Summary

In the dramatic conclusion to the Ravenwood Coven series by New York Times best-selling author Carrie Ann Ryan, this sleeping magical paranormal town knows that war can be a beginning - and an ending. Rowen Ravenwood is the final witch of her line - the only one standing in the way of Oriel, the dark necromancer who wants the core of the town’s magic for his own. With each passing battle and loss, Rowen is one step closer to losing it all if she doesn’t rely on the one man she refuses to love again. Only this time she might not have a choice when family secrets come to light. 

Ash Christopher’s family curse hit him harder than anyone knows. He’s cool, relentless, and only feels what he needs to in order to survive. He’s gained everything in power and lost all else to his ambition - including Rowen. After all, a man cannot have a soul mate when he does not possess a soul. The town of Ravenwood is dying, and as the final battles come to pass, it will take the courage of a coven reborn, a mating bond broken, and a love worth fighting for in order to save all before it is lost.

Wonderful series

I'm not fond of many paranormal romances, but I enjoy Carrie Ann's PNR. She does a beautiful job of world-building—her series progress from the first to the last without rehashing how it all began throughout the storyline. I enjoyed the Ravenwood Coven, and I look forward to seeing these characters appear in future stories.

Narration by Aiden Snow and Victori Mei was delightful.

Epic conclusion!!

This was a monumental conclusion to this series. Rowen and Ash finally get to tell their story. They were really put through it! But they fought through, with surprises, and sadness, but above all, hope. This was a short series, but jam packed with lots of emotion. And Aiden Snow and Victoria Mei do an amazing job bringing it to life. I’m sorry to see it end. I thoroughly enjoyed it!!

Good ending to this exciting series

I really enjoyed the last book in the Ravenwood coven series. Aiden Snow and Victoria Mei once again do a fantastic job narrating the story into life. I loved Ash and Rowan finally being together. This ending includes non-stop action with some side moments of romance all tied up in a beautiful bow. Ash is a witch who was mated to Rowan, another witch. When their mate bond solidified when they were teenagers, Ash lost his soul due to his family’s curse. Ash has returned to paranormal friendly town of Ravenwood to help fight against Oriol and the darkness. The book has the same main characters from the other books with some new characters added into the mix. The book includes what you’d expect from this genre - fighting, dangerous situations, paranormal creatures, evil masterminds, henchmen, loyal friends and family, tragic back stories, mystical coincidences, secrets, betrayal, snark, laughs, and love. While this is a standalone, there is an overarching storyline so it is important to read the series in order. I am sorry the series has come to an end.

Evernight Unleashed

This third book of the 'Ravenwood series' has good characters and an interesting story

The narration was enjoyable and easy to listen to

Carrie Ann Ryan knocks it out of the park in this

I love when Carrie Ann Ryan writes paranormal. You just never know what to expect. And yet again, she through a monkey wrench into what I thought would happen and who the bad guy is. I don't know how she manages to always surprise me, but she does. And I freaking love it.

Start with some witches, throw in some bears, add a hawk and let's not forget the wolf cubs. Then you stir that all up with a harsh serving of revenance and what do you get? Yup, a Carrie Ann Ryan special.

Enjoy the ride. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Aiden Snow is such an awesome narrator, especially for paranormal/shifter books. His voice just has that gruff and growly alphaness that you need in a shifter. Victoria Mei is not new to me, but I don't often listen to her books I found I enjoyed her voice as Rowan. Soothing and yet strong.

Evernight Unleashed

This story wraps up the Ravenwood Coven series. In it we are treated to Rowan and Ash’s story. Love and emotion play a big part in this book. Not only do we get a nice romance, but we also get to see the reconnection of friends and the strength of the town. It is nice to see the power and the inner strength that everyone has. As they continue to fight the evil trying to take Ravenwood Ash and Rowan must come to terms with their own place in everything. This story moves at a good pace and is full of strong characters that must learn to believe and trust not only themselves but also in the bonds that they have. Narrators Aiden Snow and Victoria Mei continue to do a good job with the narration and had me engrossed in the story.

Rowen and Ash

Having listened to the two earlier books in the Ravenwood series I couldn't help but be curious about Rowen and Ash, soul mates torn apart by the Christoper Curse when Ash lost his soul and then left Ravenwood behind. But before this book, I had no idea when it had happened or how deeply it had affected both of them.

Now years, after their bond was broken Ash, is back to help Rowen, his sister and the town of Ravenwood defeat Oriel the instigator of all the evil and death that is befalling the town. He is a dark force, controlling necromances and shades who is determined to bring down the Coven of which Rowen is the leader. To save the town of Ravenwood Rowen has woven wards around the town, wards to which she is linked and because of this is unable to leave the town. But keeping up the wards is slowly killing Rowen.

Rowen may not want Ash's help but she needs it, the town needs it, everyone is needed in the battle to defend Ravenwood and defeat Oriel to do this Ash needs his soul back but is this possible? If it is what will be the cost to Rowen? In this book, we finally learn who/what Oriel is, why he has been attacking Ravenwood and why his defeat at any cost must be achieved!

There is so much more I could say about this book but that would involve spoilers something I wish to avoid at all costs, but what I can safely say is that Carrie Ann saved the best for last, the storyline is dramatic, intense, at times shocking but always well thought out and wonderfully described.

I loved Ash, he was such a strong character an intricate part of Rowen's life and someone who was able to help Rowen see that she didn't have to defend Ravenwood alone and that the Coven of Three could accept help from the most unlikely places, the people of Ravenwood for one..... but no more spoilers! This book concludes this trilogy it is not in my opinion a standalone these books tell one story, that said it was my favourite of the three, it has magic, romance, action, surprising twists and turns, angst and so much heartbreak but ultimately an ending I was happy with. I did not want to stop listening to this book, all my questions were answered in this wonderful ending to this series. I loved all the characters, I loved their devotion to each other and their town and I was so happy that Rowan’s devotion to her town and the people she loves finally paid off.

The narration of this book the whole series by Aiden Snow and Victoria Mei is excellent, they brought every character to life and expressed every emotion so well.

I was given this audiobook as a gift and am voluntarily writing my review.

Love this story

Rowen and Ash!!!! The Christopher curse what a way to release it and what a fantastic dormant powers they were. Ash and Laurel’s fire elements were something to behold. Oriel never stood a chance against this coven. Realizing what needed to be done and coming together to face him—I think we all became Ravenwood. I loved everything about this story, the coven, the shifters, The Fae and Mer people. I won’t lie, at one point I got a little teared up. Then again that’s what makes Carrie Ann’s story lovable. You always feel something straight to your core. I would love more about Aspen and Nelle. Maybe a future series?
Aiden Snow’s narration was perfect. He truly brought Ash to life.

Amazing Conclusion

Omg this book just blew me out of the water emotionally. I loved reading Rowan and Ash story and the way the main storyline unfolded in the end so entertaining. I love this series and I'm sad it is done. I absolutely loved every single page of the book and series. Carrie Ann Ryan has a way of just sucking you into a story and shutting you out emotionally. I love this one.

Aiden Snow and Victoria Mei did an amazing job brining Carrie Ann Ryan's story to life in audio. An absolute joy listening to this.

Wonderful Conclusion

This is Rowen and Ash’s story. Rowen is the last of the Ravenswood line and therefore she must sustain the town and keep it whole, which is becoming too much for her. Ash is Laurell’s brother and suffers from the Christopher curse meaning his soul has been ripped away from him and he feels nothing.

With the threats to the town they must come together regardless if they want to or not or they won’t survive.

Overall, I enjoyed the whole series and this one includes a HEA.

The narrators were good and brought the story to life.

Amazing end!

Rowen is Ravenwood, and Ravenwood is being destroyed little by little by an unknown dark mage. Ash is her mate but soulless. The unraveling of the story had me gasping, like the dark mage is who?! Ash is what?! And the power drain, the love and the brotherhood of witches and shifters is awesome. Ash and Rowen make a great pair but they go through so much pain. It’s an exciting end to say the least. And then the next generation is totally cute. My heart raced all the way and the narration made that much better!

How can it be ending?

I have loved loved loved this series like it’s one of my absolute favourites from Carrie and although I’m happy that things were wrapped up so well I’m also devastated that this was the end. I loved the narration used sit gabe so much more depth and personality to an already amazing read.

This is a brilliant book that is worthy of being part of this series.

what a fabulous conclusion to this amazing series

I have just finished Evernight Unleashed and I cannot express how much I loved each and every bit of this story. I laughed I cried I screamed and I cried some more. Yes I'm a blubbering mess but I have a smile in my heart.
Carrie Ann Ryan manages to get such emotion out of this fossil that it staggers me. She is one of my 5 just click authors and she always will be as all her books and series are unique and enthralling. Thank you for the emotional wreckage of a rollercoaster
