The last book had a fair bit of action at the very end but it was nothing compared to this. We learn more about spirit, see Victor again, see ghosts, and kill more Strigoi. Hold onto your hats folks.

Oh boy did this book leave me with some emotions. I honestly did not see the ending coming. I just hope that there isn’t any going back on it and reversing what was done because it’ll lose it’s effectiveness if it does. 
Can’t wait to pick up the next one.
