Fabulous

What an incredible ending to this series. I am crying tears of joy at the moment. Let's take a moment to greet my book hangover. Hello!

Hazel is my hero. I've said it before in reviews of the other books, but it's true. I loved reading her and being her whilst devouring this story.

Hazel is back at school with her three kings. A plan to take down the evil parents and teachers is in the works. She makes friends with unlikely creatures. She's got fire in her soul and magic in her blood and all the love she could dare to dream of to help power her revenge against Miskatonic Prep's oppressors. And they'll all pay for their crimes spanning the last 20 years. But in order to give everyone their happy ending (and just desserts), will she have to give up the very people she loves? Ugh.

It's a twisted and spooky story, but thoroughly entertaining and I'm so glad that I joined the dark/bully reader challenge group on fb, otherwise I'm not sure I'd have found this series. And it's become an instant favourite. It's not heavy on the sexy times (though there are some steamy moments...swoon), but the story and the characters are written well and it's just got magic running through the pages. Lovely. You should read it. Really. You totally should.

This whole series was quite the wild ride. It was fascinating to read such an unusual take on bully romance. It did have a few familiar and overdone tropes that plague too many books in this genre. Another faux betrayal? Really?

There were a few plot holes there are the end but it’s not the end of the world. I wish we had a more substantial epilogue as well.

Wow

Talk about twists and turns. From ancient alien deities time lost souls. To conquering the flame to finding love. This book and series is crazy good.

Holy... wow

Where do I even freaking begin?!?!

From the very beginning this series has been totally different and unexpected. The buildup has been crazy.

Each book brought more questions than answers.

The conclusion was Epic. I was convinced the ending wasn't actually going to happen.

Bravo Steff. Bravo

Okayyy .... what did I just read?! The Kings of Miskatonic Prep had A LOT of twists and turns that left me with more questions than answers (which I absolutely loved throughout the series) This final book was an amazing ending to a fabulous series. I’m so happy with the ending (I was worried about Hazy and her Kings....phew) I’ve honestly never read anything like this before and now I cannot wait to read more books by Steffanie.

Ignited was a great way to end the series. I’m really satisfied with Hazel’s story.

At first this book was a slow burner. Not much was really happening, the majority of the story was a let down.

The only really good parts were the ending, which involves more drama and the plot starts to move faster like the other three books.

The final book in this explosive and addicting series. I simply could not put it down! There is so much going on, from Hazel's deal with the God to the Teachers and Parents not agreeing on how to proceed with their current arrangement. Add to that the sizzling romance and this book was scorching and addictive.

Hazel is determined to free her Kings, no matter the cost. In addition, she wants to make the parents pay for what they've done in their greed. There was some death, permanent death. There was also seemingly more betrayal and lots of plotting and planning. I was so happy to finally get some answers about the rats. How everything came about to tie together and finish off this series was nothing short of amazing. My brain can't even conceive of the imagination this author has shown.

In the end, I believe that fans of the series will be pleased with how things turn out and how the book is completed. I'm a fan of an epilogue that kind of shows "where are they now" and that's just what the author gave us.
