In this third and final book in the Crusade trilogy, the vampire war with the humans is finally coming to a head. Team Salamancan, after some upsetting setbacks, has gathered their forces and weapons and they are preparing for war. The vampire kingdom, after breaking apart the vampire nations, is also preparing to annihilate any humans who will not submit to them. As the two sides face off, the main characters Jenn and her partner, a good vampire, Antonio, are unsure of where their relationship stands. The other team members also face interesting relationship changes. All of them hope they can preserve the human world against the growing evil.
This is a fun series that has lots of action, romance and adventure. The characters are relatable and I found myself cheering for Team Salamancan. The violence seemed almost rated R because the battle scenes were quite gruesome and descriptive and the hybrid vampire/werewolves seemed grotesque. Overall, it was a fun series to read.
