Shadow’s End is the final book in the Lizzie Grace urban fantasy/mystery series by Keri Arthur. Lizzie is a witch and a psychic who was on the run for thirteen years from her powerful magical family who blamed her for her sister’s death and trapped her in an unwanted marriage. Her best friend and familiar Belle went on the run with her. The pair now run a tea and psychic consulting business on a werewolf reservation in Australia and have had many adventures together throughout the series—including finally seeing some closure with Lizzie’s family.In Shadow’s End, Lizzie is trying to plan a wedding, is dealing with a future mother-in-law who hates her, and is pregnant. If that wasn’t enough to deal with, two extremely powerful vampires decide to go to war on the reservation endangering all those Lizzie cares about. Will she be strong enough to stop them? Thankfully she isn’t alone in this—she has Belle, her cousin Monty who is technically the reservation witch, her fiancé Ranger and werewolf Aiden O’Connor, and two other witches who have become like substitute fathers to her, Ira and Eli.
A lot of things come to a head in this book, including some big changes regarding the wild magic and Aiden’s sister. The vampire war also involves one of the vampire’s daughters and their conflict has Lizzie wondering about the choices she was forced to make regarding her own daughter.
This is one of my favorite series and it has in it one of my favorite combinations—magic and mystery. While I was sad to see the series end, I was very happy with how it ended. Shadow’s End is filled with plenty of magic, love, wonderful characters, and edge-of-your-seat action. I highly recommend this final book, but be sure to start from the beginning and read the entire 12-book series—you won’t regret it! I can’t wait to see what Keri Arthur has in store for us next.
