 I must admit that, even though the Evernight series doesn't enter my Top Ten list, I was really looking forward to the ending book of the saga. 
 Afterlife began as slowly as the other ones, and yeah, it took me a while to get sucked into the story, but in the end, I was quite satisfied with the way things went. 
 Bianca was slightly more annoying than I'd have liked, but I guess that when you die you have the right to be depressed. Also, not having a body might be a bummer. Or maybe not. 
 The best - and most painful - part of this book was Lucas' struggle to accept his new life as a vampire: in other novels I was often disappointed by the way this kind of internal battle was developed, but the author managed to make Lucas' pain feel so real that I wanted the book to be way, way longer. 
 I like Patrice's return, and Maxie the ghost was so damn funny, as well as Vic, though he wasn't very present (sigh), whereas Ranulf was definitely at his best. 
 The ending was a bit rushed - I had to go back and re-read some parts, especially the one where Lucas was on the ground, covered by blood (WTF?) - and even though I did want them to have their happy ending, I didn't want it to be so happy - and so easy. I mean, how did Biance even know how to save Lucas? First vampire, then wraith and now clairvoyant? 
 The best thing is that Claudia Gray listened to my prayers and decided to write a book about that hot, charming vampire whom I consider highly underrated. Too bad I'll have to wait till 2012 for you, Balthazar.
