I should have just bought the novel

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I am a big fan of this series and could not wait for the final book. While the story nicely wraps up the journey that Patch and Nora have traveled throughout the series, I was somewhat disappointed by the 2nd half of this book. I think that performance by the narrator may be to blame for that though.

What other book might you compare Finale to and why?

Gates of Paradise by Melissa De La Cruz also is the final book in a series that follows 2 characters that overcome an sacrifice a lot for love.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I will not purchase any other books narrated by Carlin Greer! She seems more concerned about proper pronunciation of the words than about what emotion is required to compel listeners to follow along. There are parts in the story where she makes Nora sound happy when facing situations that fans of this series will know are heartbreaking.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes

Any additional comments?

I am an avid reader. I've read over 100 books in the last year and have really enjoyed almost all of the 20+ audio books that I have purchased . With that said, it took me almost 3 months to listen to this entire audio book because every time I would play it, I found myself wishing I would have just gotten the ebook instead of wasting the money on the audio version !

Pleasantly surpised

This was a cute paranormal series that was more keen on mystery more so then romance. It was very PG on the romance but the mystery factor kept everything interesting. This paranormal series are about battling races of Angels on earth. Fallen Angels from heaven are curse not to feel physical sensation on Earth, the only way Fallen Angels can have human sensation is to posses a race of fallen angel / human hybrid called the Nephilim. The Nephilim posses human sensation along with immortality and fallen angel strength. Fallen Angels seek out Nephilim when they turn 16 years old to make them swear an oath of fealty to the Angel so that 2 weeks out of the year the fallen angel can posses the Nephilim like a parasite and gain human sensation. Nora Grey didn't have much invested in the war until she procured a fallen angel boyfriend Patch and was made a pure blood Nephilim by her biological father that was the leader of the Nephilim army that Nora inherited upon his death. What is Nora to do?

very fun listening and credit worthy

It was OK

Well, I'm not even sure what to say, exactly. It was OK. Some interesting twists, and an interesting finale. I still wasn't heavily invested in the characters and some parts aggravated me.

Great ending

At first, I was annoyed with this book. In the beginning Nora is back and forth, never making a decision and whining... a lot. Then mid way through it finally starts to pick up, there is more action, people are finally taking a stand, and there are a few twists and turns to pick up the pace of the story.
I'm happy with the way it ended, plans do not turn out the way they are supposed to, and not everyone lives happily ever after! Sometimes it's good to read a book that takes a different path. For the most part, we find closure with a lot of characters, but there are still a few that your left wondering.. what happened to them? There are was a lot more action in this one, which kept me turning the pages, so to speak.

I really enjoyed the series, but I'm glad it ended with book 4 as the storyline was beginning to bore me. It does go out with a bang though...

great book

loved it.....anyone who likes fallen angels will enjoy this series.. .could read it over again

heading isn't optional.

I love these characters and I reread/ listen to these books every fall. I have thoroughly enjoyed all 4 books but I felt the change voices for each character slacked in Finale.

My favorite series-trumps twilight leaving it in the dust

Great ending to the saga, I love how Becca Fitzpatrick always surprises me, twists in the story I never would have guessed. I almost wish there was another book but it’s so good this is my third time reading all four and I can’t help but think doing another book could almost ruin how great the story line is.

love it great ending

This was a great performance and a great ending to a great series. I'm not big on sci fi fantasy but this series is great. if you like twilight you'll like this

loved the books

I found these books years ago and I fell in love with the story line!! loved the drama and the characters! loved the it was taken from the Bible and exaggerated, beautifully told!!
