The fourth and last part of the series about the" Chosen Darkness "is about Firebird, the supposed daughter of the family and the father of her illegitimate child, Doug Black, a police officer in search of his girlfriend. In the previous band was

Finally comes the showdown in the mountains. The whole family is wild for the first time united and the final battle against the evil Varinskis near the end.
I can not describe the book properly. It is very intense, very fast and tense and the next moment obscure and I had the impression that the author has at some plot threads themselves lost track. At the same time towards the end of the book revealed things that will continue in another series of the author (Chosen Ones). I would have probably not even notice if I did not present the first volume of the series, but it struck me, because throughout the book series does not even talk to this special feature is, it confuses me a little.
The book begins with a relationship, which already had a beginning and an end, something I normally do not read. Couples who knew each other in love, separated, are simply not my world. Firebirds couple's relationship, however, has a dark secret and that has drawn me into the spell. Firebird is also very, very well described. I liked her in previous volumes, but in this she was still lively. Doug is a little cooler over, but in this he is like his brothers. Maybe it's just the author to describe the women's perspectives better.
surprising for me was the behavior of the other Wilders, as they get to know Doug. While were presented in the other books, the characters lively and warm (I did not want to even be adopted?), This first meeting dull and expressionless. For the fact that she has kept her son dead, the mother of the family is behaving strangely cool against Doug.
But the end, as is the entire plot in the book is very exciting and I just could not put it down. I probably have about some storylines not properly read or overlooked.
From this series I'd like to read more stories.
rating:
The best book in the series and despite circumstances that I read really do not like (the old couple's relationship), an absolutely stunning book.
