ARC REVIEW Grimm's End by Shiloh Walker

Grimm's End... in ten days (10/27/15) the conclusion to Shiloh Walker's Grimm's Circle series releases and we finally find out what happened to Will after he jumped into the portal. Oh my gosh this book what can I say about it; the action- outstanding, exciting, nail biting situations; the internal struggle- Will fighting for forgiveness, Mandy- never giving up on the fact that Will is alive even if it's killing her from the inside out; the sex- ooooohh for two years Mandy has been having dreams of Will dreams in which they both are able to profess their love and show it. My favorite quote:

"If I could have let myself, I would have loved you..."   

Will said it at the end of the last book one of the last things he told Mandy before sacrificing himself for the greater good. For two years Mandy has been slowly dying inside pining after Will. She often visits the place he disappeared and is visited by the wraith, the black winged angel of death who tries to convince her to just give up on Will.

Sina has taken charge of the Grimm's and like Will she is slowly losing her coloring turning her into a whiter shade of pale and silver. The demons haven't let up, even with Will's sacrifice, they seem to be just getting worse after one particularly heinous attack Rip and Greta are taking care of the carnage when a portal opens up and Greta gets pulled in; she's only gone for a minute or two and then comes back. But what she saw while over there changes everything. Only a few minutes on this side but it lasted six hours on the other side and she was there with Will. Mandy has developed more powers in the last two years and knows she needs to be at Sina's house she knows there's news about Will. SIna is still trying to protect Mandy and doesn't want Greta to tell her, but Greta is like a mother to Mandy and believes that Mandy deserves to know. Mandy now knows will is definitely still Alive she is willing to leave the Grimm's if Sina doesn't let her go and try to bring him back.

"I love him, Rip. I'll never, ever love another. My one chance is this...either I save him, or I die in the trying"

 Rip and Greta are willing to help because they know how she feels and would do the same if they were in her shoes, so they enlist the help of Rob. Rob is bat shit crazy, on a good day otherwise he's just plain fucking insane; but Rob knows how to open a portal. Everything goes wrong as soon as Rob and Mandy pass through the portal and they are attacked, and outnumbered. Will comes to save the day but almost too late Mandy is poisoned by one of the demons and accidentally gets some of Rob and Will's blood in her, the result is she learns the horrible truth of Will's past; first hand she lives through his memories.

Mandy lived through the memories and now the hard part is to convince Will to come back with them. They also finally get the chance to show and express their love and still Will does not want to go.

"I could have two thousand years...or two hundred thousand with you and it wouldn't be enough" 

Will is stubborn and doesn't feel like he deserves her and it takes and angel and a wraith to make him see the light. Overall, This really was a satisfying ending to a great series.

The Grimm are coming to an end…the second to last book

He is the love of all her lives…

Grimm’s Circle, Book 8

Thomas Finn, troublemaker, gunslinger, guardian angel…loner. More than a hundred and fifty years ago, he was shot in the back then brought back to life just in time to watch a demon masquerading as his best friend kill the love of his life.

Now, as a Grimm, he satisfies his need for vengeance hunting down demons like the ones that took Rebecca from him. His mission: kill as many as he can, then, when the time comes, go down in a blaze of glory. But with each kill, he comes closer to a line no angel should cross.

Her name was Rebecca. Then it was Tilly. Then Ada. Now, Kallypso. She’s lived so many lives, she can’t even remember when or why it started. All she knows is, she’s always searching for a man with golden eyes that make her burn. And when she finds him—as she always does—she knows that spark of joy means she’s only seconds away from death…again.

This time will be no different…unless something breaks the cycle once and for all.

Warning: Contains the Groundhog Day of star-crossed lovers, a pissed-off guardian angel, a demon-hunter with an axe to grind, and the battle to end all battles. Be warned…there’s pain ahead in this book. Oh, and that HEA finally happens. For these two, anyway.

This will be the second to the last in the Grimm series…make sure you read it…want to see how it all comes down…

 “How is your touch ever going to harm me, Finn?” she asked as she came close to him. Her nipples pressed against the thin cloth of her chemise and through the almost-sheer pantaloons, he saw the dark shadow between her thighs.

But that wasn’t what made his throat go dry or what had his heart slam against his chest with an intensity he hadn’t known since before his death.

She’d spoken to him…in Becky’s voice.

But Becky was dead, and unlike Finn, when she’d died, she hadn’t been brought back through Death’s door.

“Stop,” he growled, uncertain what trick his brain was playing on him. Dreaming. He knew he was dreaming. He’d always hated it when he dreamed, but this had to be the worst—

She smiled at him, and as the smile curved her lips, her face wavered, reformed. Now she was growing taller, her skin darkening from pale cream to a warm, toffee brown. “Stop what?”

Another Grimm-tastic book from the brain of Shiloh Walker. Shiloh Walker has a captivating narrative, with in the first words I was pulled in to the world of angels and demons. With the series almost over so much happens in this story. It switches from first to third person and from present to flashback and is a nonstop adventure. Mark Twain based his story on the adventures of two young boys he meet, Thomas Finn regrets ever telling him those stories. Finn loved and lost Rebecca, lost her to his best friend Sawyer, who turned out to be possessed by a demon. Rebecca has always been his torment, she has been reincarnated over and over again always dying shortly after coming back together with Finn. Each of her incarnations she remembers more and more this latest one she remembers enough to become a bad-ass demon hunter.

Will, the leader of the Grimm, comes across Rebecca's most recent incarnation, Kalypso Carfax, first and is determined to keep her and Finn apart and break the cycle they keep living. But Kaly doen't leave well enough alone and almost kills herself hijacking a ride with Will. Kaly knows immediately Finn but it takes him some time to figure it out. But their problems are pushes to the side as they are faced with a giant opening releasing countless demons. Will has gathered all the Grimm for an epic-like battle and a drastic end.

I absolutely loved this book, but it's Shiloh Walker I'm not surprised I loved it.
