Review: Great wrap up, but not the end per se

I devoured this book. I just couldn't wait to find out what the heck Gabriel was going to do to get back his domain, and of course, rescue the Deirdres. I figured it was going to be a bit surprising given Darkyn was with him, but have to admit, I didn't expect some of the twists this book delivered.After returning to the Underworld, Gabe learns that more than 75% of his people betrayed him and aligned themselves with Harmony. On top of that, he still isn't able to access his magic and believes the reason for this is that he was once human, and undeserving. With Darkyn and Rhyn at his side, he will need to figure out what he needs to do to regain control of his domain, and wrest back the Underworld from Harmony while fixing his issues with past-Death. In the meantime, Deirdre and past-Death are stuck in the Underworld with a lot of Immortals that hate them, a demon who wants to eat them, a forgotten deity, and a looming deadline that could cost one of them their soul. What could go wrong?I loved how both women grew in this book. Even when all seemed lost, they both found the strength to do what was necessary, even if it went against their ingrained need for self-preservation. Deirdre didn't want to lose her humanity, and past-Death didn't want to lose Gabriel. There was definitely a scene I could have done without, and I'm glad Deirdre met Karma who helped ease those memories. And as I told Lizzy, I cannot believe how this book ended! Did I mention that I have loved Rhyn since book 1? And I was happy to get my Rhyn fix. I wasn't expecting what happens to him at the end, nor the revelations Andre shares with him. In true Lizzy style, expect more to come with this series!
