Book Description
Fate has bound them together—and torn them apart. Now Daire and Dace face one final fight that will seal their destiny forever.
Daire Santos is the last of the Soul Seekers, and the only thing standing between the Richters and the destruction of everyone she loves. With her grandmother gone and Cade back in Enchantment, Daire must finally step into her destiny and lead the fight against the Richters. But what if that means sacrificing the person she loves most?
Bound to the Richters by blood, Dace struggles against the darkness growing inside him that threatens to claim Daire too. Though Daire refuses to give up on him, the choice may not be hers. An epic battle is on the horizon and the end of the world looms near. With such insurmountable odds stacked against them, is their love really enough to conquer all?

EXCERPT
ONE
Daire
It’s been months since I last had the dream.
Months since I was trapped in its unyielding grip.
And though I try to resist, try to force my way back to the safety of consciousness, I continue to slip.
I’m aware but not lucid.
The dream is not mine to control.
As always, it begins in the forest. A forest that exists in the Lowerworld— that unseen dimension yawning beneath this world, the Middleworld, with the Upperworld sprawling above.
It’s a place I’ve visited many times, in both waking and dream states. A place that consists primarily of compassion, love, and light.
Primarily.
But not entirely.
Or at least not to night.
It’s Raven who leads me. Soaring above an unchanging landscape of crisp cool air and wide verdant lawns with lush bouncy blades that spring underfoot. His purple eyes glimmer, rushing me past a tall grove of trees cloaked with leaves so thick, only the faintest trace of light filters in.
Raven’s driven by purpose.
I’m driven by need.
Along with an irrepressible longing to re unite with the boy who awaits me.
A boy who is no longer a stranger. No longer faceless and nameless.
Now that we’ve watched each other die, now that we’ve been intimate, there are no secrets between us.
In the dream, Dace bears the same glossy dark hair and gleaming brown skin he does in real life. The same astonishing icy- blue eyes banded by gold that reflect my image thousands of times.
Kaleidoscope eyes.
He’s my fated one, as surely as I am his.

MY THOUGHTS
ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT
*** spoilers if you haven't read the first books in the series ****
Daire and Dace are at the end of the road in more ways than one. She is now basing her life on a dream she has had that predicts the end of everything between her and Dace, but that ending is nowhere near as devastating as the end of the world that could happen if Daire doesn't listen to her true self and rely on her training. Dace knows exactly what he needs to do to put an end to his family and rid the town of Enchantment of the Richters and their evil forever. Told in several different viewpoints, this is one stunning conclusion to a wonderful series.
Oh, there are so many things going on in this last installment.and Daire's dream starts to become a real nightmare. The club that was destroyed is now almost rebuilt and she finds clues that all is not right there. When an invitation arrives in a rather disturbing fashion, she knows the horror is going to start and the only way to save her friends is to see the whole thing through even if that means her own death. Dace is also tuned into what is coming and he makes decisions that force the issue even more.
Cade is now almost entirely taken over be the dark evil that resides in him, but what he doesn't realize is that Dace is one half of the whole. ARGHHH, I really want to just come out and ruin it for you but I can't. All I can say is that you won't be disappointed and that I loved how this ended. This was a really quick read for me and the relationships between the friends just felt so right although at times, I was almost in tears. I did get the warm fuzzies when this finished though.
