Perfect
What a perfect ending for an amazing series. Couldn't have asked for more in the wrapping up of Lucian and Lena's story.

HOLY FUCK. This was an epic conclusion to the Monsters series and I am so damn impressed.
Not only did we get some epic villains, and some surprising allies, but it also wrapped up the entire story in a HEA that was entirely suitable for the Master and Mistress of Chaos. Plus, WE FINALLY FOUND OUT WHAT THE FUCK LUCIAN IS!! All I’ll say is that I was right

After reading the series months ago and obsessing over what Lucian is and coming up with theories and finding information that made my theory be the ultimate reality, I was glad to know he was what I always believed him to be!
One simple word in the last 3 pages was what we got about him and the scream I let out when it was revealed......it was subtle and done in a fun way.
They got their HEA and I loved it.
We do not get Spyder's reveal despite the fact its plain and simple what he is - but since he is getting his own book that means his reveal will be discussed in it.
One thing I do wish we got was Lucian saying the three words...he said it in different ways and showed it beyond belief but I wanted him to say it back to her when she last said it to just shock her?
Also the plans he had in place to bring her back and fix the mistakes that were made was a nice twist that I did not expect.
Also the possibility that Syn's daughter being with one of the prince's of hell?? Can't wait for that book.
Zahruk? Holy shit
Alden? That was unexpected and sad but it will probably be a huge addition to the world and story.
Erie? We didn’t get Callahan in this book - well we did but he was dead and it was his body parts lol. I love her and her next book is going to be amazing.
Lucifer? I couldn’t hate him and I don’t. I’m glad he did the right thing and tried to make things right.

2.5-3 stars.
I was disappointed in this one. I really enjoy Amelia's writing normally, but this installment in the series seemed bad in comparison to the rest. Were the first few books this violent? I don't remember sex being so violent for Lucian and Lena in the past books. He constantly refers to her as a bitch also which annoys me, and there's a smutty sex scene every few pages it seems. I like my smut but it should be adding something to a plot line not just dragging it out.
I went back and opened book three and did a search to see if Lucian refers to Lena as a bitch a bunch and refers to her greedy cu*t and no... Those things didn't happen in prior books... This book tool a turn towards violence and bdsm, which isn't a bad thing necessarily but it didn't fit with what I expected from their existing love story and I didn't really like it.
One thing I liked though was Amelia slipping in a Jake from State farm joke haha that totally cracked me up :)

Another jam-packed addition to the series and this one had some serious spice the hottest one yet it was also absolutely mental with twists and turns around every corner. The manipulations to get to that final end game were insane Lucian is a serious mastermind with a single criteria Lena gets to live and belong to him forever everything else is second to this focus.
He fights on the right side because it's Lena's and that is what she would want but ultimately she is the centre of his universe and her happiness and wants are key. I'm also convinced that Lucian's mantra is it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission or not in this case as he doesn't ask for that and forever is a long time coming so he has the time.
I've enjoyed this series immensely it's immersive well well-written with some excellent world-building. It's also seriously spicy and totally addictive reading. I also like how unpredictable it is and the fact we are dealing with such morally grey characters makes it refreshing. I totally recommend reading it especially if you like fantasy reads on the darker side.

Revealing the monster
Of all the couples connected through these series I think Lena and Lucian were my favorite. I loved that they finally get to live happily together.

A very happy ending to one of the best series I’ve read so far!!! I’m always amazed and surprised with what Amelia Hutchins create! She gives us this amazing storylines that keeps you hooked for months after you finish reading them. Lena and Lucian got the amazing ending they deserved! Can’t wait for more books from her!
