By: Chloe Neill

Narrated by: Suzanne Elise Freeman

It's all magical hands on deck for vampire Elisa Sullivan and her allies as they fight to save the Windy City from a supernatural onslaught, in the newest installment of the USA Today bestselling Heirs of Chicagoland series.

Elisa, the only vampire ever born, is hoping all can remain quiet in the City of Chicago in the wake of a destructive attack by an ancient demon who broke the city's defensive magic. Still, she and her friends, including shifter Connor Keene, know they need to be ready for anything.

Everyone is working as hard as they can to repair the city's wards, but unwelcome creatures are slipping through and Elisa soon finds herself caught in the middle of a magical turf war with roots that go back generations. She knows she will have to take a stand, but retaliating threatens to reveal her deepest secret . . .

Narrator AWESOME

I love all the characters, storyline is great. Now I'm excited to start on the books of Alise parents I wish I would have started it first but I'm still look forward to getting started. I found a new favorite author Chloe Neill

Keeps getting better!!!

I loved this book! Please tell me this isn't the last in the series. I loved the previous series and this one. There is so much more to explore, I think.

What now?

As always, I loved this book by Chloe Neill. I’ve not read any that I didn’t like (even if she made me mad that one time for two plus books), though I always hate the endings of series, as I’ve been told the is. The narrator was wonderful, the story was fast paced and filled with characters from this series and from the original Chicagoland Vampire series. And I’m really afraid I’d give out spoilers if I said much else.

This is definitely part of a series, and would not make much sense if you picked it up first. I guess technically you could read this series without reading Chicagoland Vampires, but you’d be missing so many books of the most amazing vampires from a contemporary author. Seriously, loved that series so much. This one too, but Methan holds a special place in my heart!

Nice!

Nice story for the end of the series! Plenty of action with a side of drama & romance. The narrator did a great job

Great series

I truly loved this series! this book had a roller coaster of emotions throughout it. I felt there were times it dragged a bit, but also there are parts I felt it didn’t highlight enough. I however truly enjoy the narration and even at 1.8x it’s still clear and understandable.

4.5/5 story 5/5 performance 5/5 overall

Loved this series so much!!!

Amazing ending to an amazing story!! I have loved these two since they were destined to be together in Chicagoland Vampires!!! This was action packed and just wonderful! Can’t wait to see what’s next for this author!!!!

Amazing end to a great series

It was an amazing final book ( also sad it's over)! I'm so sad the publishers won't allow more of these! I would love to see more. If not though, Neil did a great job wrapping it up in a positive way

like and dislike

I love these books however this one took too long to evolve and did not spend enough time talking about the future of the characters the fact that one of the main characters is Immortal and the other is not they were just some things that were left unsaid that could have been said if the story would have unfolded faster the end would not have been so wide open which is disappointing for a book that is advertised as the end of a series.

Dissapointing story with little personality

It feels like very little storytelling and the main characters has only trivial personality. Only possible to finish the story because of the excellent narrator.

A good if frustrating end to the story

Spoilers ahead: while the story itself is actually decent, there was a small detail that kind of ruined it for me, she consistently gets the animal form of Alexei Breckenridge, in the first three books of this series he was a panther like all the rest of the Breckenridge characters yet in the last two books he’s wolf! Like what the hell, no explanation no acknowledgment, nothing that’s a rookie mistake for an author who’s had a fairly long career.
