Midnight Sky

<strong>Finale</strong><br /><br />As a series finale, I’m not disappointed, but as a story within a series, I am, if that makes sense. This book concludes the series nicely. There’s no opened ended “what if’s” or questions left unanswered, but judging it as a book, the story that was given, I found it rushed, anticlimactic, and predictable. All the issue that arose were quickly settled just for a new issue to arise and be taken care of just as fast. The book seemed to be a placate piece. No real turmoil and little conflict.

I can never get enough of this storyline and I wish so much it was not the last book in the Sky Brooks series! The characters have grown so much and the world building is so vivid and detailed I feel as if I can see everything in my mind as I read. <br /><br />I love all the humor and attitude, and no matter how dire the situation the pack always comes together, battered, scarred, and baring fangs, magic and intelligence! There is always more than one monster on the attack so who is the enemy and who is are the allies... So much mystery intrigue and the long game coming to fruition in this perfect ending. <br /><br />As a reader, I was impressed as the story fell into place and ongoing machinations are exposed. It is masterful writing.<br /><br />The romance between Ethan and Sky that has been slowly simmering and smoldering finally comes to some incredibly tender and loving moments as barriers fall and they grow as a couple. <br /><br />All of McKenzie Hunters character dynamics are so multifaceted and fascinating. The characters are all realistically vibrant and I learned to love even the bad guys in this series. Yep empathy over choices is a real thing in this book and I love the emotional payoffs! In addition, can I say the dialog between characters is priceless… Midnight Sky has moments filled with humor, bantering and sarcasm within the pack. You can feel a real closeness and comradery that a tried in fire team develops when facing life and death situations. So many things are explained/explored in this non-stop action packed ending to an amazing series. <br /><br />Well and it left me hungry for all that isn’t explained leaving a door open just in case McKenzie Hunter ever decides to revisit this world (and I so hope she does). <br /><br />What sets the Sky Brooks series apart is the relationships the characters have developed with each other over time they are believable and heartfelt. A nice addition is even when you feel like you understand a characters motivations you can still be surprised as new tidbits are revealed or revisited in conversations. I find this incredibly refreshing and I love how much detail is taken into consideration in not only the characters but also the overall plot. It is incredibly well planned out and executed. Bravo McKenzie Hunter this is a home run!!!<br />

I absolutely love this series. My favorite part was the wedding planning, wedding and sky experiencing her pregnancy and the joys of her daughter sage. I really wish the series didn’t end

<strong>Good enjoyable series. </strong><br /><br />When I read the first instalment of this series I wasn't sure what to make of it. It started off slow , but I had purchased the series so decided to carry on. I'm glad I did as the books and storyline get better and better! <br />Its concentrates around Skylar who is a were wolf and part vampire and hosts a spirt shade that is a fae. She falls under the protection of the Midwest pack and we follow her through all the changes and turmoil her life brings and her turbulent relationship with Ethan the packs Beta.<br /> Its full of magic , vampires , Elves , fae , witches and were animals. Its really a worthy read !

<strong>3.75 stars</strong><br /><br />Good end to the series. As always, Sky is not the most likable character, but the story flows well. In this novel, just like some of the previous, some characters (David and Trent come to mind) let curiosity and naiveté push them into really dumb decisions that make you question their intelligence. And I could have gone this whole book without hearing/seeing the name Quell.

Excited for the next book!

I loved this series (:

<strong>❤❤❤</strong><br /><br />I can't believe Sky and Ethan's story is over. I have so enjoyed being a part of their world. If you are looking for a series with a lot of heart then this is the best.

<strong>Too long and meandering, but still a cliffy?</strong><br /><br />I had mixed feelings about this series. The premise and overall vision of the series I think was achieved successfully for any readers enjoyment, but this book like all the rest felt like it went off on random things that didn't advance the storyline....spoilers with pros and cons....... <br />pros...........................................................................A few of the storylines felt like they reached some type of conclusion. Sky's narrative voice is entertaining throughout the series and really added to the experience. cons.............................................................<br />The antagonist of this story were so predictable and the first conflict with the whole kidnapping thing felt almost rushed and pointless to the greater story. It can be difficult to enjoy a story with a protagonist that drives you crazy. I found myself agreeing more with the rest of the Otherworld. Yes, many things happened across denizens...but they were reckless and want everyone else to just let it go. The story was so long that I had to take breaks cause I was a little done, but wanted to know the ending. My final complaint is that I hate that to get Ethan's perspective I have to read basically the same thing again. And it ends with a cliffhanger!

For the entire 7-novel series:<br /><br />The characters were fairly well-developed (at least, at first), the plot's path in each novel seemed well-considered (at least, in the beginning of each novel), the narrative style (for the most part) was more sophisticated than most I've read recently, and I enjoyed the dry humor (especially "Sky's" italicized asides).<br /><br />Note: I've given up criticizing the numerous errors I find. I figure, these days, it's a fact of literary life for the types of novels I'm reading and, also, I've become very adept at re-writing in my head to correct for all the typos and the incorrect grammar and the confusion between homonyms and... yeah, all that.<br /><br />So... what I didn't like - especially in this last novel - were solutions that popped up out of nowhere (what the heck is/are "the Roho"????). There were also ultra-fast resolutions to plot lines that didn't really satisfy (the "Cole" conundrum, for example), a lack of proper motivation for change (can we all say "Ethan" - and, even "Sky," for that matter), and I found myself confused a lot, even after re-reading several passages several times. (I know I'm old, but jeez!)<br /><br />Anyway, these novels were a much better "use" (read as "waste") of my time that the series I'm currently finishing...
