“The Final Omen”, the fourth and last book in the “Second Sight” series is one hell of a conclusion. I seriously didn’t see things coming and that means quite a bit.After the third book ended with a cliffhanger that took my breath away, book four starts just as nail-biting crazy. After Kate has been attacked, her life is hanging by a thread – a thread so thin you expect it to snap at any moment. But it wouldn’t be Kate if she didn’t kick, scream and curse her way from the brink of death back to life.She is such a fantastic female character. She has spunk and personality but isn’t over the top with it. Her emotions are realistic and easy to relate to. Her actions make sense and I had no need to throttle her – at no point of the story. That says something about how well her character was written. I love how she seems to come full circle and learns to accept her gift as well as herself. Throughout the story, she has grown and it was beautiful to witness this as a reader.She also finally seems to find her place in her relationship with Jared.And Jared is so raw and intense in this book – it is breath-taking. Set on protecting Kate from any harm, he is willing to move heaven and hell to ensure her safety. He would sacrifice everything he believes in and stands for if he could guarantee that nothing would happen to Kate. He has experienced too much loss in his young life in order to lose another person he loves.Heather managed to show perfectly, that even people that live by the book and look at things as just black and white can suddenly consider the gray shades when horrific events threaten the people they love. But the consequences of straying from the good side can be disastrous and sometimes to protect the ones you love, you have to put away your pride and trust people you dislike. People like Declan, who proves himself to be a real friend – not just to Kate, but also to Jared.The twists and turns in the story are outrageously breath-taking, yet realistic. It was the perfect mix of romance, suspense, crime, action and drama. I loved every minute of it and I’m sad to see Kate’s and Jared’s story end.5+ nail-biting, head-spinning, breath-taking stars.
