I don't usually write reviews with spoilers, but this one definitely deserves to be an exception.

Going back, if you successfully forced yourself to read book one, congratulations! It was one of the most boring books ever and I just kept hoping it would get better and it just didn't. Book two was slightly better, but it still had issues. If you haven't read book one, you can just skip it as all the important stuff is rehashed enough that you can understand what is going on without reading it. Book three was actually not bad and I sometimes did want to pick it up and read it. Book 4 was the best of the bunch and they really should have stopped there. So, on to THIS book...

Resurrection...to start, why bring back Kari, no one liked her and she didn't really bring anything to this story. She would randomly say a word or two and then everyone would take what she said as gospel...and speaking of gospel, there was way too much Christianity in this. The Magi, Satan...and making Merlin the fourth Magi AND Satan?? What's up with that?? How could he even BE both of them?? The Merlin I've always heard about was a good wizard, not an evil warlock out to destroy the world. Bringing back Eli and Nicole at the end was nice and all, but not exactly realistic in the grand scheme of things. I mean, they can all do magic and conjure things, but there are some things that just can't be done. All the loose ends were pretty well tied up, Holly's dad, Richard's wife, Armand, Pablo, etc. Everyone got their happy ending after yet another epic final battle.

All in all, if you're determined to read the series, skip book one. The rest of them aren't terrible. This one was kind of far removed from the others. I guess the characters had growth and development, but I didn't actually care about any of them, so it didn't matter to me. I was thoroughly underwhelmed by the end of this book and they should have stopped at book four. Good luck if you still decide to read all five of them. ( )

This book kinda dragged in the beginning and middle, but the last hundred pages or so, a ton of secrets started coming out and twists were revealed and it got really exciting. Excellent ending to a series that makes you want to scream and throw the book out a window. ( )

A good ending to the series. It was definitely a roller coaster of a ride. There was so many twists and turns and things happening it was a quick read for me. I found myself totally engrossed in it and trying to read faster to see what happens. There was a lot to wrap up with this series but the authors did it in style. I really liked everything about it and definitely recommend this series to fans of witches/warlocks/demons etc. ( )

I didn't enjoy this book in the series. ( )

I read the first four books in this series and just thought they were okay. I tend to be pretty easygoing and not easily disappointed with a series, so when I finally got to read the last book I was very disappointed to feel unfulfilled with the last part of the story and the ending. It seemed to me like the authors just pulled the ending out of their rear-ends and prayed it would work and be enough to satisfy the readers. Clearly it didn't satisfy me. But I will say that I was slightly pleased with one aspect of the ending. ( )
