BUYING ADVISORY: HS - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
The final installment in which our heroine engages her foe in multiple skirmishes and must decide whether to pay the demanded price for victory: Móirín (27yo) has been the Dread Master behind the scenes of DPS, with her only goal being to help the poor and downtrodden. But her family and friends are disappearing, the enemy is always one step ahead, and Móirín starts to wonder if she can save anyone or if she has only doomed them all.
Eden has saved the best for last. While I have not loved all of the books in this series, the last stand of Móirín and her Dread Penny Society members was well written and engaging. The Tempest, as she is called, is a formidable foe, and Móirín’s struggles to defeat her and save everyone else takes everything she has. Sometimes we think we can—or have to—take care of our problems on our own, but Móirín’s story helps us to accept that we can’t do everything alone.
Móirín and her brother are Irish, Stone and Celia are Black, Vera and her father are Russian, and the rest of the characters are either explicitly or implied English. The mature content rating is for illegal activity, and the violence rating is for gun use and murder.
