I absolutely love this series! From the very first book that Darius made an appearance in, I have wanted his story. It is a little bittersweet that it is the last book in the series, but a truly amazing story none-the-less. Of all of the books and characters in this series, I am truly enamored with Darius, and so very happy that Sharie gave him the story he deserves. I only wish I hadn't read it so fast, but I will definitely be reading it again and again! ( )

In the first three books in this series I felt sorry for Darius because he always came sooooo close to getting his HEA but, well, no cigar. I was eager for his story to be told and see him finally get his HEA. Then in the fourth and fifth books he didn't have his usual near miss at a mate and had a smaller role... frankly he came off as kind of a jerk in those books. I no longer felt sorry for him. Darius...pbfft! Finally Darius gets his own book and I was actually a little hesitant to read it. Will he still be a jerk? Will I care at all about this Darius and want to keep reading? Well, I'm happy to say Darius made his back into my good graces and the wait was worth it. There was nothing too special about the story... pretty much your standard PNR but, but... it was Darius! And I'm happy he finally got a happy of his own.

I did have a small problem with the ending. The final battle with the demon felt anticlimactic and seemed to be over before it barely started. There was also an unexplained character that suddenly popped up out of the blue near the end of the book that was confusing. I don't know if what happened to Darius is due to the deal with the demon or the mysterious stranger. Besides being somewhat of a deus ex machina, maybe there is some possible set up of a future book or series? Not sure if that is thoughtful speculation or just wishful thinking. :) ( )
