Review: Absolutely Incredible. Each book is better than the previous book. Didn't think it possible...

WHOA MOMMA!!! That was one intense and crazy ass read...I'm holding my eyelids open with toothpicks because I absolutely had to tell you this very minute that you need to read these books. ABSOLUTELY MUST!This paragraph states exactly how I feel while reading this series;'Word by carefully crafted word I read. Page by page I studied the tome, often mouthing the words aloud. Most pages I read multiple times. I did not skip pages. I did not skim. My mind was a sponge, and I wanted to absorb each meticulouslycontructed crevice of this book. I studied each curved letter and italicized word.'There are so many reasons why you need to pick these books up. What I don't know, is why the majority of my friends haven't yet? It has everything we are looking for in a great series. Something different. Strong but vulnerable heroine. Male leads that you fall head over heels for, without even realizing it. And sarcasm that isn't so thick you need windscreen wipers to get through. Honestly, these 3 books are enough to catapult Ms Stephens up my favorites ladder."...I completely get the fact that I have supernatural powers or whatever, but isn't there someone else? I'm not exactly hero material." Spreading my hands out, I turned my head from side to side. "See? I don't have a cape and I don't have a side kick."This third installment was just as good as the first two. What I did notice by the end of this one (probably again) is that the author is a genius. After reading the 3.5 bit at the end (Chad's POV) I breathed out a massive sigh. I don't know whether it's because I got my fix of Chad, or because I realized he wasn't the douche I was imagining him as throughout, or because somehow I have forgiven myself for falling in love with Hunter - aka Mr Meanie Head, as well as Chad...and Mason. I will never know. I just know that she is genius, creative (those powers!) and oh so romantic. I didn't even realise how I felt, until it was over and I could digest it all."When you spend the majority of your life dreaming of something, as I have, it can be frightening when you realize that the dream is close to becoming a reality."Claire is still finding her feet and although at times she was confident and cocky even, I adored that equal amounts of times she was insecure and doubted herself and really did just want to find joy and love like the rest of us. I loved that she puts so much thought into her relationships and exactly what she's feeling. She examines each of them so very closely and if she was real, I would be her friend for sure. Her powers are growing, and so are those of the enemy. Can her and her team save everyones eternity's by kicking her 'dads' a** to the afterlife?I wasn't about to jump aboard the 'South Bound Train to Misguided Trust and Oblivion' without scanning the available brochure.I wouldn't be able to tell you how many times my eyes leaked (Ella *sniff*, Chad *sniff*), or the percentage of the book that had me covered in goosebumps. I will tell you I need more of Claire, Hunter & Chad, and that I would recommend this to ANYONE. Bravo Ms Stephens..."Love is a magical ribbon that binds two souls for eternity."
