Ok, from reading Witch and Hyde, I know Ari's talents leave everyone including us readers with serious cases of Deja Vu, so it didn't completely surprise me that Death started out with a sensation of "Hey, I've read this part before..." Luckily I've been reading this whole series, start to finish, these last few days so everything is still fresh in my head and I understood almost immediately what was going on. Or so I thought.There are so many twists, turns, U-turns, circles, back flips, and somersaults in this story I loved it even though it made me exhausted! By the way the story ended I can tell there will be more to come, and HOPEFULLY there will be no more talk of the Aimee-Shane-Aleks ping-pong trifecta because holy hell I am so over that thread in the story!I think this was a good ending to what looks like a new beginning. Everything- Every single little detail, little thread, and fresh spring-grown branch in the story is completely changed. Nothing is as it was at the beginning, nothing is as it was even in Witch and it is exciting and intriguing to wonder what Tara Brown will come up with next. I hope this ending becomes the beginning to a new series. I hope everyone is reunited and given a chance for closure. That is my only upset with this story. So much carnage, so much pain and loss and no one got to say their goodbyes. I understand that those kinds of events echo real-life circumstances because it's not a perfect world, and not everyone gets their Goodbye. But there was just SO MUCH going on all at once in this story I feel like there needs to be a recovery process. My head is still spinning.Another thing I noticed were the dynamics between the characters. Was it just me or did everyone seem to be constantly side-tracked by their own romantic agendas throughout the story even though there was pending doom and destruction? And, also, I believe the supernatural condition of the characters has finally gotten to their heads because a lot of their emotions switched from one extreme to another and then back again, so fast that I felt I was seeing things through the eyes of Bipolar ADD & ADHD kids. A few times I wanted to shake one of the characters and shout "Stay focused- PLEASE!"The author did well- again- and i will definitely recommend this series and this book to friends and family. Good read =) Entertaining to the last.
