I liked it, and I thought it was a *mostly* satisfying end to the series.  But there were things that upset me a little bit.

I'm upset that Raven's parents were never told.  Are they ever going to find out?  How will they react?  Raven talks about going to night school, but night school isn't really an option for high school?  And at the time this was written, online schooling was just starting to take off so I don't find that terribly believable either.  And Raven thinks all of this will just be figured out over a weekend, before she goes back to school on Monday?

She also is essentially married to Alexander, and will have to sleep in a coffin, and therefore move in with him.  They are seventeen years old, I find it very hard to believe her parents would just be okay with all of this!

I wish the book had ended right after high school, when they then could have had their ceremony, and she could have been changed, and they could be married and everything would be fine.

I really did like it, and it was a satisfying end.  But I really wish the parents had been informed and that her change waited til after high school.  That's all.  Then again, I feel like this is written for a little bit younger crowd than I am now, maybe middle school, so maybe it wouldn't have bothered me as much then.

Schrieber I just ask for one more book, maybe a novella even, to answer these questions and I will be satisfied.
