Wicked Ever After

Wicked Ever After (The Hex Files: Mysteries from the Sixth Borough, #7)Wicked Ever After by Gina LaManna
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well, that wrapped things up! Do I wish that everyone found their mates and it was HEA all around? Sure! But this was a good start.

First - I in now way predicted who the big bad was going to be. With all of the terrible decision making Dani has been doing, it was impossible to predict anything at this point in the series. They’ve got all the hex files people identified, but things are not looking good at the start of the book - Sienna is still missing, Matthew is gone. Enter time for questionable decisions that lead Dani into the dead lands even though she is not dead. So many side quests that don’t appear to connect end up connecting in the end.

Without too many spoilers, this book is like 90% showdown/battle. All the looming badness from previous books all hits in this one for the final hex files curse. I found myself missing the new characters we met in the previous two books a lot, but it was time for the original folks to reconvene. Do we get a separate spinoff for them? I hope so! I was left feeling mostly satisfied, if not a little off put but the amount of big talks that happen in the midst of battle. At least my biggest fear was never realized and for that I can be happy.
