The dramatic conclusion to the Experiment in Terror Series.
Perry Palomino and Dex Foray.
On their own, they’re uniquely brilliant. Together, they’re … they’re uniquely brilliant. Together, they’re an unstoppable team.
Until now.
Because after everything the duo has encountered, they haven’t come across an evil quite like this. An evil that has been years in the making, an evil that will stop at nothing until they, and everyone they care for, are destroyed.
Dex and Perry’s love has survived a multitude of sins.
But can it survive the end?

It is never easy saying goodbye to characters, doesn’t matter if it’s a stand-alone or a series of 9 books. However the emotional attachment to characters you have spent so many hours of your time with will be stronger, so saying goodbye is harder. But we all know that to every story there is an ending, and I was so not looking forward to the conclusion of this series. Dex and Perry are one of the most awesome couple I have read about. They were so amazing as individuals but together as a couple and partners they were phenomenal. Not everything went as they planned, and they had their ups and downs, but they always had each other’s backs.
If I look back at the first book, Dex and Perry went through such a transformation. They both grew so much as individuals, I am happy I was invited into their lives. Seven of the books were told from Perry’s POV, one from Dex’, I was happy this one was told from both of their POV’s. I think it was really important to read what both of them were going through. This book was bittersweet, a couple of VERY heartbreaking things happened that had me crying. However I though this book was a perfect conclusion to the series. Would I want more? HELL YES! I just love the characters so much, and I am happy Ada has her own book (Veiled), which I read before I read this series.
THIS SERIES WAS AMAZINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!!!!
Here we are at the end of a great series that brought me a lot of smiles, tears, laughter, dread, and sometimes major scares. This was the kind of send off you would expect from characters who have been involved in the business of ghost busting/investigating who had not a clue as to what they had been doing. This story was closer to home and gave a better look into the life that Dex had led as a child and points out even more why he turned out like he did. This is a walk down memory lane where we get to see where they were and hopefully where they are going in the future. The story is solid, just like every story that has come before it.
Perry and Dex are staying with her parents while Perry tries an experiment on her mother that she last did to test Dex. While they have been working hard on the footage they shot at the school Perry has gone out for some fresh air and left Dex at home with Ada since her parents are also out of the house. When she returns after an encounter that left her disoriented and a little lost she finds that Dex has been spirited away and Ada has been knocked out.
Perry and Ada take off to find Dex before anything bad can happen to him, or so they hope. They have only one clue which leads them to New York, where Dex was born and lived until he could get away. They do not know it yet but they are being herded to a place that will try to rip the very soul from them and make them the destroyer of worlds.
I have loved Dex from the beginning because he was not this straight, boring guy but a total knob who loved everything so viscerally. Perry took a little longer to grow on me because she had so many hang ups, but most of them were due to her parents, but she finally had started to see how amazing she was. Together these two were a power couple of another kind and I am going to miss them. I can hope that they will make an appearance when someone else has a story told or maybe just a short to catch us up on them.
I loved the books for their paranormal elements and the glimpses of a world on the other side that was both good and bad while being neither. There were some serious scares and some minor ones, I got to laugh with them over crazy stuff, and got to cry with them when they hurt each other, and I got to be a part of a love that was hot, sexy, and very real. I would recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who wants a bit of darkness with their love story.
