It is official, Eli and Clara are my favorite Shelly Crane couple! Shelly Crane has once again created a wonderful story, but I really shouldn't be surprised because all of her books are great. Consume manages to combine romance, action, desperation, betrayal, and the paranormal all into one amazing book. Consume was a great ending to a great series. It will leave you crying tears of joy and then tears of sadness when you read the words "the very end". I am happy to see the story concluded, but I am going to miss these characters.Clara has really come into her own in this novel. She is much more sure of herself and no longer cares what others think of her. However, she is still her sarcastic and snarky self, and I loved it. Eli was still his swoonworthy self. He is truly the perfect combination of bad boy and romantic. The lengths he is willing to go to for Clara are astounding. He is the guy every girl wishes she could find.One character I surprisingly and grudgingly came to like in this books was Enoch. While he was still a pompous jerk, he wasn't as much of a pompous jerk. He also makes an effort, which goes against everything about being a Devourer, so I have to give him some credit. Ariel was another character that I really loved. It was interesting to learn about her back story and to see her find some happiness.As I said before, Consume will leave you crying great big tears of joy. I hope Eli would be honored that I cried tears of happiness for him and Clara. This truly is the perfect ending, and it could not have been done any better. Reading the ending to this excites me for the conclusion to both the Collide and Significance series.All in all, a fabulous read! One that I highly recommend to others. Honestly, I recommend anything by this author.
