A bit anticlimactic... but I don't mind the story, still
One thing that has bugged me a bit about the books is inconsistency. I've mentioned it in previous reviews, and sure enough within the first few pages, I already found a couple. First - Andrew is referred to as Drew. In previous books he was never called this (I literally just read them all today before starting the 5th again to remind myself what had happened). Also, when one person is supposedly talking, by the next paragraph it sounds like it had actually been someone else, like the author forgot who was actually speaking originally. It could just be the way it's written, but it comes off as confusing sometimes.
As for the ending... the past few books were leading up to issues with the Molgrove pack. It ends up with a fight between the two packs, somewhat, but it literally ends in 2 pages, max. The books are mostly from Charlotte's POV, and she wasn't even involved in the fight, so you don't even get much detail about it until her mates return and summarize quickly what happened.
I get these books are short (less than 100 pages each), but it still seemed way too anticlimactic.
Also, as each mate ... mates, for the first time, it becomes shorter and less described. I admit, I'm all for steamy scenes. I also get not all books have that. It just almost seems that with each mate, it becomes less important to talk about in the book. That could just be me, though.
Overall story: Pretty good. I enjoyed it, though I feel it could have been better, longer even.
Final book: A bit disappointed. Definitely could have been better written and a bit longer. It was the end to this series, after all. It seemed kind of rushed, despite me waiting for it to come out for a while.
3.5 stars, roughly.
