goodreads...
Only when the darkness falls can you see the
light of the stars.
For thousands of years, the scribes and singers of the Irin race have existed
to protect humanity and guard the gifts of the Forgiven. They have lived in the
shadows. They have kept their secrets.
But the Irin aren’t the only race with secrets.
Ava and Malachi have found each other, but wounds
as deep as theirs don’t heal overnight. While the Irin world struggles to
correct the power imbalance left by the Rending of the Irina, Malachi and Ava
struggle to connect their past with their present.
The Fallen may scheme, but Ava has found her
power and refuses to be an angel’s pawn. And while Malachi may have forgotten
his history, the scribe’s relentless search for answers leads both him and his
mate to the heart of the Irin power structure in Vienna, where knowledge is
guarded more closely than gold and those with power will do anything to keep
it.
Malachi and Ava have survived the darkness, but
will they ever discover its secrets? A powerful cabal of the Fallen may hold
the answers, but to surrender them, it wants the Irin race to finally face
their enemies. Both those coming from the outside, and those raging within.
THE SECRET is the third book in the contemporary
fantasy series, the Irin Chronicles, and the conclusion of Ava and Malachi’s
journey.
My take...
"When
the darkness comes, reach for me."
I always
hate writing reviews for the third and final book. I always feel, no matter
what I say, I will be giving too much away. Or not enough. Or maybe just sound
stupid. But know that I have loved Malachi and Ava from the start and have
enjoyed following their story. Seeing them fall in love, lose each other, find
each other, and fall even more in love...this whole series has been absolutely
unique, powerful and so very breathtaking.
Watching
them fight for one another and their love was what made this story. Well, it
was also all the secrets that emerge within the pages. Not to mention the hell
that Malachi and Ava each go through to help him remember. And then there was
the suspense leading up to conclusion. Oh yeah, a lot happens in this book that
brings the series together perfectly. A conclusion that was not only done just
right...but leaves you wondering for its future?!
Only
Elizabeth Hunter can write a story so utterly beautiful...so full of magic. I
get so caught up in the words and the story I feel as if I am right there in
the book. Her writing and dialogue is on spot. Never have I felt there were
moments that seemed to drag on or needed more. Everything was perfect. Just
like always with her reads.
5 Oh So
Captivated Stars!!
