Good Suspense Crime
I won a copy of this book from the GoodReads Giveaways program.
I really enjoyed the idea of this story and this world. The characters were very well developed, you felt as if you’d gotten to know the main characters pretty well by the end of the book. It’s also mixed two genres which I do love to read, cop mysteries and paranormal. If you like either one, I think you’d be a fan of this book. I also really loved the dynamic between the two main characters Zach and Micki. They played well off one another and as I was reading, I could just see this sort of Cop TV show playing out in my head. Bringing in the paranormal aspect of the story just enhanced it for me…people with special abilities beyond our understanding intrigues me and the fight of good vs. evil will never get boring. The ending made it obvious there would be more to the story, but not such a cliffhanger that we’re left annoyed until book 2 comes out. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends and any readers of either genre.
I was lucky enough to have picked up my first Erica Spindler book more than a decade ago … I don’t know when exactly that was … I was in high school … holy crap … it was almost 20 years ago. Damn. Well, I’ve been a fan for a very long time. DECADES. I don’t know how many of her works I’ve read but I like her suspense novels the best. This amazing lady can weave a story like no one’s business. When I saw that The Final Seven was on NetGalley, I didn’t even read the blurb; I just knew that I had to have it and luckily enough, I was chosen to be graced with a copy.
I’ve been wracking my brain and I don’t think that Spindler has ever written a supernatural or paranormal book before. I had absolutely NO IDEA that was what this one was classified as … I knew it was romantic suspense so when the supernatural stuff started happening, I was excited. Other than some vampire books (the sparkly ones in particular), I’ve not read any other supernatural stuff before. I had no doubt that Spindler would not let me regret picking this up and I didn’t.
I loved just about every aspect of this book. Hell, I even noted in my Kindle that this would be a 5 star book for me when I was just on page 4. I knew right away that the pages held an amazing story that I would get lost in. Gosh, this is really difficult … I don’t want to give away any secrets!! I’ll just say this … when (not if) you grab this one, you’ll fall in love with the characters almost immediately. Micki is this no-nonsense, her pair is bigger than yours, cop and she is fabulously strong and snarky and what I want to be if I ever grow up. And Zach. Dear, sweet, Zach. I told my husband that if I ever met this Zach character in real life that he was TOAST. I’m telling you, I would boot my hubby’s ass to the curb if Zach ever came walking into my life. Spindler just writes these amazing characters … they are so real that you build this relationship with them. (Stay away from Zach. He’s mine.) I just couldn’t get enough.
The story moves along at a pretty fast clip and that amps up the suspense as you are reading. From the moment I started the Final Seven, I felt like I was all coiled up and ready to pounce, I was just completely on edge. And the twists and turns that you’re thrown into … holy crap! This is not a story that you will soon forget. I’m excited to see how the rest of the series plays out, there are just endless possibilities for the characters and the plot. I’ll be (impatiently) waiting for the next installment to come out! Such a great book!!
