Finale - Becca Fitzpatrick

Synopsis: Nora and Patch thought their troubles were behind them. Hank is gone and they should be able to put his ugly vendetta to rest. But in Hank's absence, Nora has become the unwitting head of the Nephilim and must finish what Hank began. Which ultimately means destroying the fallen angels - destroying Patch.
Nora will never let that happen, so she and Patch make a plan: lead everyone to believe they have broken up, and work the system from the inside. Nora will convince the Nephilim that they are making a mistake in fighting the fallen angels, and Patch will find out everything he can from the opposing side. They will end this war before it can even begin.
But the best-laid plans often go awry. Nora is put through the paces in her new role and finds herself drawn to an addictive power she never anticipated
As the battle lines are drawn, Nora and Patch must confront the differences that have always been between them and either choose to ignore them or let them destroy the love they have always fought for. (From Goodreads)

It was a little bittersweet saying goodbye to this series. Here was my relationship with it - Hush, Hush: Heyyyyy, Patch. Crescendo: Meh. Silence: I've come this far, might as well read it. OH MY GOSH WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW? THIS IS SO AWESOME. Finale: Should have stopped at book three.

So, yeah, Finale let me down a little bit. After Silence blew my mind, I was expecting so much more from Finale. But it was a lot more of the same. Patch is still calling the shots, despite Nora's protestations. She's still weak (relatively) even though a lot of the book is about her training. But book four was supposed to be about WAR, and it was still about the preparation for war. Kind of anticlimatic.

However, I still am in love with these characters, and it's hard to complain about getting to spend a little more time with them. I thoroughly enjoyed Vee's stepped-up role in this book. She's still one of the best book besties ever. And Patch is still super swoony and still has a bit of a mysterious edge, which keeps him interesting.

So even though it lets me down, I still love this series. Mostly, I'm just going to miss Patch. *sigh*
