“War is here.
Full-scale war has erupted between the Crusaders and demons and even Chi has to admit isn’t going well. Like any sensible rat, Meda’s eager to abandon the sinking ship but, unfortunately, her friends aren’t nearly as pragmatic. Instead, Meda’s forced to try to keep them all alive until the dust settles.
As the Crusaders take more and more drastic measures, the tables turn and Meda suddenly finds herself in the role of voice of sanity. No one is more horrified than she is. When old enemies reappear as new allies and old friends become new enemies Meda has to decide—again—whose side she’s really on.
And then the Crusaders decide that Meda should go to Hell. Literally.
Can’t a monster ever catch a break?”
This is the third and final book in the Soul Eater series. This book was an excellent ending to this fast paced and fun urban fantasy series! I enjoyed this whole series immensely and this was the perfect ending to it.
Meda has chosen to help the Crusaders but this is turning into a battle that the Crusaders just can’t win. That’s when the Crusaders ask the ultimate sacrifice of Meda; she may have to go to Hell itself to help turn the tables in favor of the Crusaders.
I love the witty writing style and snappy dialogue between the characters. Meda is a fantastic character and I love her strange combination of ruthlessness and loyalty. She delights in being vicious but still cares about her friends…she’s just such a delightfully “grey” character. The side characters continue to be very well done and I enjoyed them too.
Just like the previous books in this series, the story is so fast-paced it will leave your head spinning. This book was impossible to put down and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I just love Crewe’s writing style…it’s so addictive!
Overall this is a fantastic ending to this fast-paced urban fantasy series. I would recommend to those who enjoy fast paced urban fantasy with themes of good vs evil.
