First thoughts: 4 stars This final installment wrapped up the Creepy Hollow series in a nice tidy package. I love the world Ms. Morgan has created, her talent at world building is exceptional. I truly felt transported to this realm with every installment, and this one was no exception.The Story:This story is about surviving the destruction that Draven has inflicted upon anyone who doesn't side with him. Violet's home has been destroyed and she has lost all her memories. Seeming to be up against all odds, Violet still has her strengths and knows the right thing to do is fight for what is right, and part of that is fulfilling her role in the prophecy.  There were plenty of layers to this story, which I loved. At first I had a hard time remembering what had happened when book 2 ended, but I have to hand it to the author as she did a fantastic job of getting me right back into the story, and pretty soon it felt like I never missed a beat.There were a few twists and turns. I had predicted 2 of them so was probably a little bummed when I realized I was right. I really, really love to be shocked. There were a few people that I thought might turn out to be double crossers, but weren't so that made me happy too. I have to admit that I love being suspicious of everyone.The Characters:This story was told mainly from Violet's POV, but we did get a small bit from Ryn's. We got to feel his frustration as well as hers. I felt so badly for him, but knew there was nothing he could do.  I had always known Violet was strong, both inside and out, and I loved seeing her stay true to herself. We never saw Ryn waver either, and the situation in this book tested him many times over.The Romance: As far as the romance goes, I knew it was coming (again) but didn't feel it as strongly, or close to my heart as before. I'm not sure why. It seemed to play a very minor part in this installment so maybe that is the reason.Final Thoughts: If you are looking for a series that will suck you in and take you away, Creepy Hollow is a must read. My favorite of the series is the second book, but I still loved this one as it gave me great closure. Ms. Morgan has a fantastic imagination and I can't wait to see what she writes next!
