Conclusion to the Cassie Scot series.
***4.5 Stars***
Well, it has finally come to an end... at least Cassie and Evan's story. And a beginning, but I'm not going to spoil that part! I'm going to leave the review broad to keep out any potential spoilers!Cassie has returned home and there's a big and ugly feud between the Blackwood and Scot families. Cassie finds an ally and apprenticeship with an unusual elder who predicts folks will die, especially if Evan and Cassie don't get their own feud under control. Through the twist and whirl of action and further romantic nonsense between Evan and Cassie, they both lose people close to them. They make a few bets that really jack up the fight between their families and find a murderer hidden in their mists entangled with both families.
Their friends and other family members continue to have their side stories and plotlines that coincide with the main love story of Cassie and Evan. I look forward to reading the future books about the supporting characters. Christine did a great job of combining the multitude of storylines into a comprehensive final book that had brought closure to many open ended trails in the first three books, but left some open for lovers of the series to continue to follow up on the other characters in the books.

Speculative fiction is fun, magical, and imaginative but great speculative fiction is about real people defining themselves through extraordinary situations. Christine writes primarily about people and relationships, and it is in this way that she strives to make science fiction and fantasy meaningful for everyone.
