I am not okay after that ending!!! I'm going to run away and cry now.

Payback is a bitch, and the bitch is back!

Wow! Okay, Brady is back guys! He is back and he is looking for revenge.

End of Watch totally wasn't what I thought it was going to be but somehow Mr King managed to make it great. He was able to incorporate a supernatural twist into a crime thriller and seriously, it worked.

Hodges, Holly, and Jerome are back for the finale of the Bill Hodges trilogy and their unlikely friendship comes together even more to try and put an end to Brady Hartsfield aka Mr Mercedes, once and for all.

It was the perfect end to a great series. Stephen King is known for his horror and whilst this series was different from anything he has done before, he nailed it.

The one thing I actually really like about this series - and it was a little weird at first - is that the story is told from Ethan's point of view. We have come to adapt to the whole human girl falls for the good looking supernatural guy but it's the other way around in the Caster Chronicles, which I found quite refreshing.

I really liked the characters a lot - Ethan starts off as a bit of a weird kid who just fits in because he was born in his little Southern town. Until he meets Lena and then he becomes very strong minded and stands up for her against everyone else.

I loved Lena. I thought her character was very realistic. So often you come across characters that could never survive in the real world. I liked that Lena came across as not caring about what other people think but the way this story has been written, you get Lena's POV too when she talks to Ethan psychically and you can see that she does care about what other people think and she just wants to be a normal teenage girl. And in a way she is - she worries about every day things as well as worrying about her birthday that is coming up - when she will turn either Light or Dark. Anyway I loved both of these characters.

Even the smaller characters were great. Amma, Macon, Link, Lena's family and especially Boo :)

The story was so easy to read and although was it a little bit longer than your average teen supernatural novel, it only took a couple of days to get through it.

I've already started the second book Beautiful Darkness and I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Uh oh....Ridley's been a bad girl. Tut tut!!

So it actually took me a while to get back into this series. After reading Beautiful Creatures, and thinking it was slightly too long and a little out streched I felt like I needed a change. I'm glad I started on Beautiful Darkness because it was so much better than Beautiful Creatures.

I especially loved the development of Ridley's character. I think she's kick-ass!!! And Link is awesome too.

I didn't however like Liv. I thought it was a little pointless having her there since she actually didn't do anything. There was no need for her to be there and I think she was just put there to make readers think that maybe she could have been a distraction for Ethan. Otherwise she was pretty pointless.

I did really enough the story though. There were a few twists and turns I really didn't expect but one massive one I so knew was coming but I shall continue with the series and hope it gets better. It has to get better with a cliff hanger like that!!
