Review: Huge fan of Abbi Glines

3.75 stars or 4...I can't decide. It was good, better than good but I think I was hoping for a little more. Don't get me wrong, I read it very quickly and it kept me interested but it just seemed anti-climactic in some way. It ended the way I wanted it to end so really I can't put my finger on it. I almost feel like this wasn't the final book in the series but maybe I have just become accustomed to epic epilogues.What I did love is the Abbi Glines signature touch. I really LOVE the way Abbi Glines tells a story. She creates characters you fall in love with and the dialogue always feels right. Her characters don't do stupid and don't frustrate me the way some can by fighting so hard against what should be. She doesn't make us suffer with miscommunications that end up ruining a large portion of the story. I especially love the southern roots of the stories/characters; I always feel transported down south for a bit.For fans of this series: you will be under Dank's spell once again because he seriously pulls out all the stops to make Pagan fall in love with him again. As usual he is utterly swoon worthy. He is sex appeal all wrapped up in a dark mysterious package and you can't help but fall in love with Death. AND - Pagan is one my favorite heroines. She is smart, confident and trusts her emotions; she does not self-sabotage and second guess her instincts.I would highly recommend a refresher by re-reading book 2 and Leif before tackling this (or at least re-reading the last few chapters of both). I didn't and wished I had because I was having a hard time remembering certain things, deals, sacrifices, rules, etc.
