Blurb:

This is the last book in the Vampire Girl series.

From USA TODAY bestselling series Vampire Girl, comes the next book in the saga: Moonlight Prince. For fans of Twilight, A Shade of Vampire, and Outlander, experience a fantasy romance with an original twist on an old tale.

I was an ordinary girl, living an ordinary life, until I sold my soul to save my mother.

Now the final battle approaches, and I am not prepared.

My Review:

3.5 stars — I devoured this one in less than a day as well, it’s just an easy and enticing read.  And overall, I found the series very entertaining.  I’m not sure if I’ll read the next 3 books about future generations…I kind of like where I ended up.

Throughout this whole series I’ve experienced bouts of confusion, and I will admit I had hoped this last book would clear things up.  But I was still confused on a few things…and other things just didn’t feel fully explained.  Heck, I thought we’d learned who the Moonlight Prince was before the final battle, so then I was confused in the final battle.

Now saying all that, I did get answers to a lot of my questions, and some things were tied up more neatly.  But there were still things that left me wanting answers, or at least more thorough answers if that makes sense (like what exactly happened to Kayla when she was tortured?  Why mention it at all if it doesn’t play in the story and we don’t learn about it?).

There was still a LOT of death and carnage and destruction.  I’m not used to reading a story where so many people die in such gruesome manners.  It’s…hard on the heart.  I may not know them, but decimation is still decimation.

All in all, I was pretty satisfied with how the overarching plot played out though, and the reasons we were given for certain behaviors.  It was fun when I would start to see how things that happened in previous books tied in to the finale.  There’s a part of me that wanted to know a bit more about some things, but not enough to severely impact my enjoyment.

I still maintain that the blurbs on these books are just super lackluster and uninformative.  And that the uses of “vampire”, “fae”, “hell, and “demons” is kind of misleading.  It was really just a whole new world with strange characters and creatures, that only vaguely resembled what they were named after.  So *very* nontraditional.  But it was a fairly rich world that they created, with interesting mythology and history and all that.  I could picture it very easily.

So despite being fussy about explanations, this series was definitely a fun ride for me, and I’m so glad I took a chance on it!
