Battle and Betrayal by A.K. Michaels

5.0

With Rose rescued from Hell surely life will quiet down some? Teah. not likely in this action packed, passion filled series! Basilius still has Rose on his radar and there may be some traitors in Cassius camp.
Mysterious Chinese God Kuan is seeking allies in the most wondrous places. We see new mythical beings not mentioned in the other books of this series - no spoilers but they got big...wings!!! Will Zeeandra and the Dragon Guard be able to help in the fight against Basilius evil horde? Or will they continue to keep far from the eyes of man?

There are many loose ends to tidy up in this book and most of them were. My favourite secondary characters got their HEA - yeah!!!!! We met some fabulous new characters who I hope will pop up in other series, especially Sydney, kick ass, FEMALE, vampire guard! My favourite fire demon in back and I'm biased cos she has my name - well that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

It's sad to come to the end of this series to be truthful. With its dystopian edge it was much different than Ms Michaels other series. The writing and narrative were suitably edgy and there was always that hint that things might not just turn out all roses! Another lovely things is the way Ms Michaels introduces you to other PNR authors in her work (through Rose using a functional e-reader). A true supporter of other authors and not afraid to give them a mention (Monica La Porta and Eden Elsworth)!

Fabulous, tumultuous, blood pumping finale!!!!
