Anticlimactic. Although the authors take on god being a mad scientist with an unfortunate case of perfectionist was unique.

This one was a real mixture for me. Something happened about 35 pages in that had me literally squealing with delight and then in the last 30 pages I was open mouthed...and not in a good way.

I want to start by saying that I LOVE this series as a whole. I would highly recommend it to fans of Urban Fantasy who like a Reverse Harem aspect, too.

I want to start by saying that I LOVE this series as a whole. I would highly recommend it to fans of Urban Fantasy who like a Reverse Harem aspect, too. Debbie Cassidy is a talented writer, who has created an interesting and complex world, with elements of originality that are hard to do these days, especially in such a saturated genre.

However, upon immediately finishing this book, I was disappointed with the ending.

I have always thought the books need to be a good 50-70 pages longer. I know with the rate writers are having to churn books out that the shorter length is something that works for this, but I feel that with the extra page time we could see the characters and their relationships develop so much more, and therefore their interactions become so much more rewarding.

There was some minor development within the harem, but not much. A few conversations/interactions, but not enough page time devoted to the impact of this. I feel like a lot of the development of the relationships happened off-screen, which is a shame, as one of the author's strengths are the characters she created.

The first 4 books have all built to the showdown with Asher and I ultimately found that showdown underwhelming, but it's hard to go into more detail with out going into spoilers. The writer made a decision with a important character who had the most time devoted to their development in this book and I don't think it was the right decision, and if she was going for the redemption/can't live with myself route, then it didn't work for me. I don't think it will be a popular decision either, so I wonder what purpose it really served.

The epilogue...yeah, I didn't like that and the developments in it. Although I do want to know what happens next...

Saying all of that I thought the series as a whole was excellent and was an enjoyable ride. The characters were fantastic and I look forward to reading the spin off.

The fact that I wish there was another book to tell us what happened next, and that I would go and read it immediately, sums up my feeling really, despite the issues I had with this book. We want more!!!

I was kindly given an ARC for an honest review. ...more

Savior of Midnight was a classic case of building up a story and a character well enough only to struggle with how to tie it all together for a satisfying conclusion.

As each book progressed in this series, Serenity becomes more and more of a special snowflake. I just kept seeing this power bloated character who is all so important only to be left hanging for the crucial part of pay off. It really seems unfair the way the end fight of two seconds played out. The big face off between Asher and Se ...more

An ok ending to a decent series

I’m not a fan of the ending, not truly. Especially since someone dies and then someone new comes into the picture and we don’t get to experience any of it. It’s just an epilogue of 6 months in the future. And then the ending, the outside world. I want to know more but in the context of our characters having to adapt and learn what it really is like. I was disappointed we didn’t get to see that, we never got to find out where she was from or how she came to be put i ...more
