so good!!!
This is just so good! Gut wrenching good. Heartbreaking good. I wana cry and scream good. Stryker and Peyton: A fury and a hellhound = . The couple was EVERYTHING. The academy was crazy from the start and nobody had a chance. But with a fury and a hellhound… anything is possible.
Oh my stars… What a rollercoaster ride of emotions!! Peyton, Striker and their band of monsters went through the gauntlet in this book! Through it all, with all the pain they endured they finally became their true selves! I was cheering for them through all they endured. They might’ve thought themselves monsters at heart, but each of their crew had true hearts and souls. A HUGE reveal happened that took the blinders off a few characters, and we FINALLY saw vindication in many forms! There were many twists and turns, lots of blood, pain and heartache… But oh so worth it in the end! Bravo!
This feels like the end of an era! I hope to someday read more in this marvelous universe! The main characters in this duology are so very dark. They have deep wells of anger and mistrust. Seeing Striker and Peyton learn how to survive while breaking each other is completely heart wrenching! You want them to find peace and true love but it seems so utterly unattainable. Surrounded by evil beings and being feed lie upon lie, how ever will the students of Bloodwing gain their freedom? Blood runs freely and violence is taught daily. In a world where everything is so very precarious, how will Peyton become her true self? Can Striker save himself and his fellow pupils? The inclusion of Hunter and her friends throughout this (which totally makes me hardcore fangirl) is such a pivotal part! I love seeing the further progression of characters I loved! This gave me such joy at its conclusion as all the things that I so hoped for came to pass!! Well done Ms. Frost!! This is brilliant and memorable and so perfectly written!! I’m going to miss these characters…
I was hooked from page one, boom one! The mains grow so much and it’s wonderful getting to see it. Great world building. It was so sad to see it come to an end but so glad I was able to experience this great world.
I haven’t read a lot of duologies in my time. I was concerned whether the series would feel like it had a satisfying finish with only two books. This second, and final, book in this series was almost beyond words! The series feels complete. All loose ends were drawn in beautifully. I don’t get emotional about many books, but this was definitely one of them. Peyton and Striker are both so broken in their very natures that the emotional rollercoaster was inevitable. I loved every second of it though. This was the perfect conclusion! Just don’t start it before bedtime, you’ll be up all night reading! It’s too good to put down!
This was a fitting ending to a wonderful series. The author brings you and holds you with all the action and emotions. This author paints the characters and world so vividly. She draws your emotions out. She breaks you and puts you together. She makes you love the imperfect characters perfectly. I’m sad to see this world come to a close but it was an amazing journey
Okay nice and easy steps first…This is the final book in the Assassin’s world that Everly Frost has written….so for me it goes without saying, but you do not want to miss out on this ending!
When I finished this book yesterday I thought writing this review would come naturally lol with how much I absolutely LOVED this final book. But it’s really hard, coz I know by writing this review that means it’s really over and gah I don’t want that to be true! So I will say this, If it had to end, this wrapped all the books up oh so perfectly. All my questions were answered and if I have to say goodbye, then this was the way to go. It goes out with a bang. It’s beautiful.
But before you get to this point…this book is gonna rip at your heart and destroy you. A lot has to go down before it gets better. So you best get used to trying to hold yourself together. That feeling of your heart in your throat and all that….I know I said in the first book to Assassin’s Academy that it was intense…but dayum it’s nothing compared to what this book throws at you. It’s like living on an active volcano. You have the intensity/fear of knowing you’re living on the edge the whole time and then the reality of when it does eventually all blow up.
I knew with this book I was going to need to prepare myself for literally anything but I don’t think anything could’ve prepared me for what went down.
I’m giving you a friendly heads up, that this book will not give you time to take the hits, nope…you’re just left on the edge of your seat wondering if your heart can take another hit…or whether you should just offer it to the black market.
All that aside, this was a damn good book!…you may be in near hysterics in parts…more than once I might add…
So if you love having your emotions torn all over the place…then I shouldn’t really need to say much more to convince you. Coz this book has all of that… I will say though that this book will own your heart and soul and even though it hurts a lot..This book deserves your attention…and so deserves to be read.
A book that can control emotions so much like this book did for me…it demands to be read and when you start reading it, you won’t be able to deny it. It’s like Peyton herself is compelling you to read and we know a Fury is just something we can’t ignore…and we won’t want to.
If you have read the first book what the heck are you doing reading this review?! If it’s for entertainment purposes…then that’s okay and is excusable but nothing else is. Just go and read the book. It’s simple. Trust me. You want this kind of pain. It’s what all us booklovers crave.
Hmm, I guess you want some story background?
So basically at the end of book one we have the students making a deal with Hadrix to train them for their mutual survival against the Assassin’s. From here we get to see into the minds of Hunter (eeek once again!), Striker and Peyton. You feel each step of the way and experience what they are all thinking and feeling to such powerful levels. You watch as they “train” under these men, who believe they can control them by sheer force. Make them into weapons to save them from the Assassin’s that are gunning for them. Or so they make them believe.
Even as each student finds their monster, the battles all become both physical and mental ones. All of them are basically trying to protect the other but in doing so a lot get hurt. Striker tries to push away Peyton for her safety and she doesn’t even understand why. But in the end, will they all become the one thing they are trying to avoid? Like the evil men that surround them?
Many paths are woven and everyone basically has their own game that they are playing and trying to win. It’s a web of lies. But meanwhile, everyone is getting stronger and hands are being shown…sides picked and Peyton may just unleash her own brand of punishment to the men that think they can break or control her.
This book seriously had so much to love about it. I loved each of the fighting spirits of these students and their determination and will to survive. They never cease to amaze you with what they endure and yet no matter how many times they get knocked down they just get right back up again. You remember that scene in the Last Samurai, the rain fight one?…where he just keeps getting up…that’s what these kids remind me of…and like him they only get stronger for it.
So much happens in this final book, there’s a lot of twists and turns that will almost give you whiplash keeping up. New allies are made, new deals struck, New unknowns unlocked and truths that will be learnt. It’s time to step out of the darkness for them and see it all.
If you’re anything like me, you’ll probably be extremely tired by the time you reach the end and may just be a bit of an emotional wreck.
Everything about this story was constructed to the finest detail. You will love the characters and the growth they undergo, particularly in this book and will love the crossover of Assassin’s Magic and Assassin’s Academy…be ready for timelines to merge and finally have all the answers.
And you’re going to love the angst of the romance…it is to die for. It has you on your toes the whole time. At one point I was uncertain how it’d play out but thankfully…you’ll have a happy heart by the end.
This is a story you do not want to miss. Pen it into your calendars folks because if you miss this book you will regret it. It will take you on one hell of a ride that you won’t forget and it’ll also leave you with a major bookhangover.
Thank you as always to the amazing Everly for the incredible journey you take me on with each book of yours.
Happy Readings
Hands down, A phenomenal story from start to finish!
I was so incredibly pleased with how this story turned out. Peyton and Striker are fantastic MC’s, with the other characters combined, absolutely amazing! With excellent character growth!
Not as dark as I was anticipating, but great plot and storyline all the same! Had my undivided attention from the moment I sat down to read!
I will miss the characters!
