What's the Story?
The third installment of a trilogy, END OF DAYS opens with Penryn and Raffe on the run from the angels, desperate to find the doctor who can reattach Raffe's severed wings. Their search leads them to new dangers, including a trip to "the Pit," where demonic monsters dwell. While Penryn struggles to protect her little sister, Paige, who has been transformed into a half-human cannibal, she also must figure out how to save the humans who've survived the destruction of the Bay Area. Unsure whether she can trust Raffe, Penryn must prepare herself for the ultimate showdown on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Is It Any Good?
Full of well-choreographed action, violence, and suspense, this volume brings the trilogy to a slam-bang conclusion. It also reveals new secrets about the main characters, their loved ones, and their angelic antagonists. In the face of an approaching Doomsday, Penryn and Raffe race from one bad situation to another. Sometimes the heat-of-battle banter is a little too arch to be believable, but author Susan Ee maintains the character chemistry her fans have come to expect. The final showdown is an exercise in narrative excess, but it's likely to leave readers cheering and eager for more.
