Thirteen by Kelley Armstrong (PNR)


From Barnes and Noble:
The #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong delivers the novel her fans have been clamoring for: The epic finale of the Otherworld series.

It's been more than ten years, a dozen installments, and hundreds of thousands of copies since Kelley Armstrong introduced readers to the all-too-real denizens of the Otherworld: witches, werewolves, necromancers, vampires, and half-demons, among others. And it's all been leading to Thirteen, the final installment, the novel that brings all of these stories to a stunning conclusion.

A war is brewing—the first battle has been waged and Savannah Levine is left standing, albeit battered and bruised. She has rescued her half brother from supernatural medical testing, but he's fighting to stay alive. The Supernatural Liberation Movement took him hostage, and they have a maniacal plan to expose the supernatural world to the unknowing.

Savannah has called upon her inner energy to summon spells with frightening strength, a strength she never knew she had, as she fights to keep her world from shattering. But it's more than a matter of supernaturals against one another—both heaven and hell have entered the war; hellhounds, genetically modified werewolves, and all forces of good and evil have joined the fray.

Uniting Savannah with Adam, Paige, Lucas, Jaime, Hope, and other lost-but-notforgotten characters in one epic battle, Thirteen is a grand, crowd-pleasing closer for Armstrong's legions of fans.

My review as posted on Goodreads -
Totally disappointed in this book. I went through the whole series in a few weeks and was ready for a huge payoff but sadly it didn't come. With the last three books building up to a relationship between Adam and Savannah, I was expecting a sweet, romantic, tender....something. I understand that the world was coming down around their heads, I understand that sometimes life doesn't work that way, I understand that you take what you can get but........when you build up a relationship for 3 books and heck 9 years or so, you expect that when they do finally come to their senses and decide that this relationship is what they want to happen, that you would get more of a tender moment then a "wham, bam, thank you lady" in a nasty hotel room for an hour. I mean really! I actually thought I missed the love scene and even posted on facebook to ask if there was even one because I thought I missed it. So if you are a fan of this couple, you might want to just end with #12 and make up your own story on how it should end because there is no HEA and no big romantic scene, it's rude and dirty and to be honest, if my first time with a guy I had been in love with for over 9 years had treated me like that and said the crap he said afterwards to me, that would be the last time I was with him, crush or not! I could rant all night about this but sadly I'll end the review here.
