Incarnate is the conclusion to the Spiritus series. In this book we pick up were second book ended. Becca is trying to bring Alastor back to life. Becca wants to love Alastor but she wants all of him not just a part she can't really touch. I think another part of this is that she is tired of being looked at like she is crazy. By bringing him back she validates that she can see him and she gets to have him whole again. It's a two for one. Alastor is obviously against it. He feels that he had his chance to live, and that she should leave it alone. Well if that is the case why does he haunt her all the time? Anyway, her dad and best friends, Billie and Allie, see that she is up to something. They look at her like she has hopped the crazy train heading for loonyville. She explains her situation and heads down to New Orleans with her BFF's to bring back the love of her life.This story is different than the first two. They stayed centered on the fact that Rebecca killed Alastor. They mentioned that they loved each other but you mainly saw the hostility leading up to the murderer. This one reminds the reader that Becca and Alastor are soul mates. You see their love in the letters they wrote each other during the war.Becca appears much older than her 21 years in this book. It is like the weight of the world is on her shoulders. It could also be that she us an old soul since she the reincarnation of Rebecca Sinclair. Either way her maturity had grown with each book.I have to say that I haven't been Alastor's biggest fan. I always found him possessive. In Incarnate I saw a different side to him. One not of possessiveness but one of love for Becca. He doesn't want to loose her and fears that if she tries to bring him back he will.Since I have read each of the books and this one is the conclusion, am I happy with how it ended? Yes I can say I am. I know that once you read it you'll want more at the end than you got. The way this ended I believe fit the characters. The author did a wonderful job with this book. I found Incarnate to be emotional, dramatic and intense. The author writes about a romance that is far from traditional. It shows that love doesn't die with you, it carries on to the next life.Overall it was a great book that I enjoyed. I recommend this series as a must read.Disclaimer: I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
