I'm just disappointed in this series. The first book was so good in comparison to the rest of the series. I've stressed in previous reviews that the overall theme of friendship in a NA book was super refreshing and enjoyable. Even the plot was better. I've never experienced this, where I loved the first book and really disliked the sequels. The overwhelming, sometimes forceful sexual content (i.e. the "tension" between Ezra and Lily that became mildly to sweet to downright stale and tart), coupled with unlikely romantic pairings greatly lowered the value of this finale. Likewise, plot is almost nonexistent. Everything falls into place too easily, and the relationship between Lily and Ezra is by far the central theme, EVEN THOUGH IT REALLY SHOULDN'T BE. It should be about devoting more than two pages to saving the world. There's no climax--except sexually because Ms. Dawn just forces it on us as if this was marketed as erotica--and nothing bad seems to happen to the main characters. Everything just falls neatly into place. It's frustrating because I actually paid for this. I thought okay, maybe the second book was just bad, but typically the third book in a series will redeem it. FALSE. It just got worse. It was so hard for me to finish it. I felt so unmotivated and slightly disgusted with myself for reading it. So, is it the worst book I've read? Definitely not, so it gets two stars. But I would never recommend reading the entire series to anyone. I'm shocked people rated it so highly but maybe I read a different book.
