Ashley Stoyanoff has done it again! Soul’s Mark: CHANGED , the final book in this series brought closure with class! The loose ends were tied off and as I hit that last page, I found myself wanting just a little more, not because it was needed, but because I’m going to miss Willowberg and its inhabitants!The Willowberg vampires are lost without the leadership of the now human Mitchell, who is suffering from his first illness in 800 years. Bless you, Ms. Stoyanoff, that whole “Mitchell is sick” was priceless, NOT that he was sick, but his reaction to being sick in the beginning, the descriptions of each scene, and poor Amelia! The vamps need Mitchell, but another change could kill him and Amelia knows she must follow her heart and choose the right path. If Mitchell were turned again, what would he be like now that he’s been reminded of the frailties of being human?This was an emotional roller coaster, but the tension and turmoil was deftly blended with lighter moments. The vampire family played a huge role as a group, and their banter and dialogue was, as always, spot on!Ms. Stoyanoff did an amazing job of keeping her characters real, painting each scene with a sense of clarity and pulled no punches in bringing every emotion to the forefront! With her usual crisp style, she kept the pace quick and brought it all home with a satisfying finish that just “felt right.” although, I will admit, if she ever decides to re-visit Willowberg, Amelia and Mitchell, I want to go, too!Is this a series that can be re-read in the future? Definitely! I don’t think Ashley Stoyanoff’s style will ever be out of fashion!I received an ARC edition from the author in exchange for my honest review.
