Last Rites (Paranormal Detectives Book 5)
By lilyluchesi
Excellent writing
This is writing at its finest. This whole series has been over the top great. Love, lies, identities found out, loss, battles, many different types of creatures, one bad ass Empress. Unfortunately a bunch of friends and loved ones who have been lost, leaving many grieving.
I have loved everyone of the books in this series. The story has succeeded in weaving its web around me, while the characters have entertained me. Now I’m off to read the next book and I can’t wait. I definitely suggest this series to anyone who loves supernatural type books. I think you’ll really like this series.
What an amazing ride this was! It was so full of emotions.
The characters were remarkable once again. I have loved the romance between Danny and Angelica throughout the entire series, but this one just brought me to my knees. The strength of their relationship was even more stronger than ever before, even though there were some rough patches. And that ever stopped them from coming back together again. I felt the connection of these characters in this story. The feelers just floated off of the page and left me with a happy heart.
The story-line was phenomenal. The things that happened in this story was so addicting and so shocking that it left me at times with a broken heart. This was a powerful story!! I really loved the ending of this story too. The guy really did get the girl!! And I know that this is not the end of the road for these characters and I can’t wait to see where this author takes us next.
Power is the deadliest desire
This fifth book in The Paranormal Detectives Series had me laughing and crying at the same time! This book was filled to brim with romance, angst, suspense, mystery, and fast-moving action.
I am truly in awe of Ms. Lily Luchesi’s powers as an author – how she could continue to nurture a series of five books and with each consecutive book stay garden-fresh and grow her characters.
The plot pace was a true thrill-ride! The world building kept pace with the character development, with some new and unique paranormal characters introduced in this book. Will Angelica and Danny even have a honeymoon? Will the PID recover from their battle with the demon Leander Price? Will Angelica’s new title Empress of the vampire species be a blessing or a curse?
However, Darling Reader – I’ll never tell, I do not post spoilers in my reviews.
I give this book 5 Stars and graciously counsel you purchase this, Bodacious Bibliophile for your own personal library.
I wish to share the playlist that Lily Luchesi utilized while she wrote and edited book 5. She states: “these songs mean something, helped spur the plot on, and for that reason, this is my favorite playlist to date. Enjoy!”
