Cruel Fate

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
4.5 stars

First thing, this one cannot be read as a standalone, you really need to read the entire series to understand this one, since it does take place after the series is over.

That being said, I'll still try to make this review as spoiler free as possible.

Okay, Kelley Armstrong has an amazing gift with writing. The way she creates characters and how they fit together is amazing. Coming into this book, with months between reading the last book I was still able to get into the groove and felt right at home. The relationships between everyone are complex and so amazing to read about.
I still wish there was more to the fae – I feel like Olivia's main power with omens isn't used often, nor do I always understand the guys' gifts.

I really liked this look into their life after the main issue has been resolved. It shows that things are still having to adjust because of the conclusion, but makes the story feel even more real. With her father out of prison, I wonder if there will be a book featuring her mother coming up for appeal or anything.

I'm a huge fan of this series and I'm not ready to give it up. I highly recommend this series to people who like thrillers with touches of magic and if you have read the series, I do think this novella is worth the read. I liked Gabriel and Ricky's POVs here.
