Finally the much awaited conclusion to the “little Red” saga.
We get the answers to many questions regarding what makes Clemeny different, and will she find her Happily Ever After?
I won’t tell … you will have to read “Lycans and Ledgands” for yourself to find out. Don’t want to spoil the surprise.
As always the story is filled with twists and turns that keep you guessing. And of course more questions you want answers to.
I personally want to know Rose and Constantine’s story … hm, and Hunter and Harper’s … oh, and Quinn and Jessica’s too.
I love being drawn into Melanie’s steampunk world, I hope you will join us for an amazing adventure.
Happy Reading:)
5 stars – I loved it!
Clemeny is on another hunt to stop an assassin from killing the Queen. Along the way she finds the truth about her family and unlocks her true potential.
This was a wonderful end for Clemeny’s story. She finally has love, learns about her history, and she saves the world. I adored Clemeny and Richard in this book, especially when they were taking care of Jericho, who was adorable. Her heritage was fascinating and unexpected. I really wish we were getting another book that would explore more of her heritage, but I am glad we got at least some closure.
The enemies and monsters in this book were great because they were things that I didn’t even realize were possible in this world. I really enjoyed the mystery of finding the enemies and the battle at the end. Seeing the Red Capes and all the other allies unite to fight was exciting, especially since they rarely work together with the monsters. As I said in previous reviews, I really want to see more about the other members of the Red Cape Society because they are all fascinating, especially Agent Rose.
This was definitely my favorite book in this series. It had everything I love to read: a great heroine, family, love, and a big battle. Also I just loved how content and happy Clemeny was in this book. Even when things were bad, she still was happy because she knew Richard would be waiting.
I can’t believe this is the end of this series. I love Lionheart and Clemeny and don’t want this series to end. I also love the Red Cape Society. You do get a lot of answers in this book about Clemeny’s past, her relationship with Lionheart. You also get to see how everyone else has fared in the love department. As with all past books in this series a lot happens and Clemeny is right in the middle of it. This series will be truly missed. I hope we see these characters again in a different book if only briefly.
*I received a free copy of this book via the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.*
First off a shout out to the author, this is such a marvelous and delightful series. I will never be fully ready to say goodbye… but if I am this was the story to end on. I will always hold Clem in my heart.
Now… I loved this story as it concluded all the questions I had for Clem, all my hopes for her where granted and I loved the outcome. I could not have picked a better ending. Oh, and she has really great taste in men, LOL.
This story has splendid poise, wonderful dialogue, and intense action (for me, there is nothing better than a smart, sassy and dangerous woman to idealize). As with this entire series the story is filled with action and steampunk elements. The book is the final story, but it contains elements from other stories that are like little love notes from the author to her dedicated readers. I would say that you can read this as a standalone, but you would get so much more enjoyment if you read the other stories first.
I have not enjoyed a series like this is years and I cannot explain how much I loved this adventure. I cannot wait for more stories from this author, whatever they may be; and if I could be so bold as to suggest a series featuring Agent Rose, I would be forever grateful (I mean if you are taking requests…). This will be a forever cherished series for me! I received an ARC and am leaving an honest review.
The final book in the steampunk Red Riding Hood retelling by the talented author/storyteller Melanie Karsak is another exciting adventure! While on a mission to stop an evil fae, Clem discovers the answers about her past and gets her HEA (happily ever after). I love Karsak’s characters and I am looking forward to seeing her include them in future books. I received an eARC and this is my honest and voluntary review.
I have absolutely loved every one of Clemeny’s journeys! She is brave and fearless! She knows how to go on one heck of an adventure! And this retelling of Little Red Riding Hood is no exception! It was exquisite! This whole series been wonderfully written and entertaining! I am sad to see her adventures end!
What a fabulous ending to a great arc!!!! I will say that I would never turn down more interactions with the entire Rude Mechanicals and Red Cape world, but this was a very satisfying conclusion. Also, I totally called that Little Red had something to do with fairies in like book 1, but I got the specifics TOTALLY wrong. I thought she was a changeling, and I think Melanie Karsak’s plan was way cooler! But if Melanie would like a suggestion, I will say that the female line needs to continue and Jericho would be so adorable with a baby sister!
Everything comes together perfectly! Expect characters from other books, such as Rapunzel Pendragon, to be in the thick of the action saving the realm from a power hungry faerie.
Yes! Waited for this book to come and wasn’t disappointed. It had everything. All the characters were there and there was a preternatural assailant who wants to rule over the humans and one of the great legends come to life also Clemeny gets her man! A really good read. So sorry to see this series ends. I love Clemeny and Lionheart, would recommend this series to all.
FANTABULOUS!!!
Oh my! Talk about revving things up a little tighter. Melanie doesn’t miss a beat. This installment really got the blood flowing. With every part of this series I read the more impressed I am with the talent Melanie shows throughout the entire series. Most of the time I find some series lacking the gusto or just dragging it out to fill the pages. Not so here. Melanie shows the same intense passion hasn’t lagged at all. She keeps it steady, packed with action and hard hitting. The characters are authentic, believable and so realistic with depth and qualities that blend and plays off one another perfectly. An exciting storyline and gripping plot flows smoothly without missing a beat. With a keen eye for detail she brings each installment bursting to life brilliantly. Incredible job Melanie, thanks for sharing this awesome read with us.
Exactly what I expected from author KARSAK..A wonderfully entertaining novel!
