A Satisfying End to a Beloved New Series

As is custom, I begin by stating I was granted an arc by the author, and I volunteered my honest review in return. Now on to the juicy details!

So many authors give us thrilling series and then miss the goal when it comes to the series finale, Eternal Huntress. Ms. Hill has effectively dodged that characterization and finished her mind-bending, and life-stealing series with the kind of satisfaction that will leave readers thrilled, and yet sad because our time in the Otherside has to pause for awhile. (I say pause because she promises much more from he Otherside in 2022!)
If you have not read the previous 4 books, stop reading here!

You might have thought Arden and Troy faced ridiculous odds before, being legit enemies and then growing step by painful step to become the kind of love story that gives even those of us in the real world real hope. Through forgiveness, true recompense, and a lot of hard work, Troy did all he could to prove he was and would always do right by Arden. After all of that you would think, ok enough, they simply move forward now. NOPE! Ms. Hill puts us through it with them again, more secrets, more reveals, and a major test that shows rather than blatantly tells, the strength of love earned, versus flash-in-the-pan insta-love. She makes us fall for this couple all over again. It was heartfelt and brilliant.

This book also gives us closure with Calista, even though she still manages to cause ‘chaos’ from afar. It is also finally showed why Arden needed to be feared and controlled, and that she was not the only one of her ‘kind’ on the loose. (Oh the drama and the reveal!)

There is so much story building and depth of character culminating in this final book. It was such a pleasure to read it, and to have an author who rewards her readers, and allows them to gleefully partake in the triumphs and losses of each character.
In my mind the Otherside and the exploration of it has only just begun. I look forward with great anticipation to seeing how these new factions working together can make a world the rest of us thoroughly enjoy visiting from time to time.
I highly recommend the Eternal Huntress and the entire Shadows of Otherside series. My reading squad and I are looking forward to seeing what else this author has in store for us in the near and distant future.
