~You know sometime when a beloved series come to an end,and in your mind you pictured a certain ending. But the truth is you can never be satisfied, because you've wish the series would just keep going? ->that's how I feel about King Tomb.
---

Queen Shifter, Lily
Ruckler, has found solace in brutal warfare. Her bloodied fists and bared fangs fill the holes left in her memory, the blank spaces that leave her soul aching and empty. Her only pleasure is in blood; her only salvation is the relationship she has with her infant child, the baby of unknown origins who brings her solace and stability.

When
Elder Harcourt summons Lily and her protector Antonio back to the United
States, Lily thinks nothing unusual about the change of location. But a

But their chance meeting has led to more than an unlikely alliance. Secrets have a way of surfacing, especially on a torn-up battlefield, and Lily and Ezra are about to re-learn all they cannot remember. If they can’t control their emotions and responses, it will be to their own ruin and the destruction of everything around them.

King Tomb really took me on a roller coaster ride, at first I was so excited to finally learn about the gender of Lily and Ezra's child. Then I was sad by the estrange relationship Lily and Anthony shared in the book. I was really looking forward to Lily and Ezra's reunited. And I was quite surprised how it actually went about. Let's just say there was nothing warm or happy about the reunion. But no worries, Ms Dawn didn't torment her readers long. Ezra figured out early on that he was the father of Lily's child and he and Lily were actually married. The ending though, I thought it was rushed and not entirely organized.

I think I would've like this book a bit longer (but I am greedy when it comes to a story I like). I am not sure the actual length of King Tomb yet, since I am reviewing an eARC

    Journal # 1 Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad is a book I read for my University English class. People always say don’t judge a book by it’s cover, but I am that one guy that does. When I first looked at the book to be completely honest, I thought it had something to do with witches or something really unrealistic. I know I have a wild imagination. The first couple of pages of the book got me hooked instantly, I loved how the book just starts and how the narrator gets right into his adventure as a young man into the Congo River.…

    Like most books, this book starts off slow and lacking in excitement, but when you get to the climax and even the rising action, the action is intense. For example, when the kids are first told that they have to leave Egypt, you wonder why. And in the climax, something happens to one of the main characters. What will happen? Why?…

    July-Day 18 I can barely pull myself out of bed today, it's cold outside the blankets that have kept me safe since my descent to dreamland where I have been since 6:30 PM. I've slept for 12 hours and I want to keep sleeping. I want to stay in bed where nothing happens to any extremes. I dreamt of lighthouses and the light it casts out over the clear blue gulf sending a signal of safety to those passing by. I wonder about all the things that are like lighthouses to me.…

    Unfortunately the author keeps putting so many things in that the story seemed to drag on and on. I remember starting the book and I had no clue what was going on. It will be confusing.

    This is not a book I could comfortably read again, at least not the first portion. Perhaps it's because it is frightening and in some cases, a little too close to home; loudly echoing a bit too much of the past. It's disturbing being able to see parts of yourself in a character, and hating them. There is an emotional baggage, that, try as I might, I cannot separate from the book. The end is happy and hopeful, and for that I am glad, but perhaps this book makes me think a little too much.…

    I am not sure I like the new direction of the series is going. Overall even though I did enjoyed reading this book, I also have the same problem with this book in every other Tijan's book of late. The repetitive situations, and the characters seem to stop developed all together. So the next book is the last book of Fallen Crest High, and we will be getting a standalone book of Logan soon!…

    Could not have said it any better myself B. Cecily von Ziegesar storyline is getting old real fast. There is only a certain amount of times Serena and Blair can fight (and make up), Nate and Blair to get together (and break up), and Nate hooking up with Serena. Like either make them all love each other or split them up already. Major plot point has been relieved (finally) but it took an entire book of fluff to get to that point. Honestly the only reason why I read till this point is that besides this series being my guilty pleasure (sorry not sorry), I just want to see how this series ends, hopping these spoil brats get what they deserve.…

    The climax served it’s purpose and provided fast paced action within the rebellion, which is what I wanted. The night women got the chance to enact their revenge, which was nice. I got what I wanted and what I expected from the climax. The only thing that displeased me was Lilith protecting Jack Wilkins, but I am glad she did because it eventually provided her a chance to live after the rebellion failed. The conclusion was sad, predictable but fair.…
