"There is no power stronger than love, and the greatest sign of love is giving."

Everlife is an explosion of action and an epic conclusion to this unique trilogy. This is a spoiler-free review, since this is the final book in the trilogy, my review will be more thought based and less plot based. I hope you decide to take the Everlife journey and experience this series for yourself!

When I read Firstlife, I wasn't sure what was happening, what I was reading, because I had never read anything like it before. It was so different, but at the same time, dealt with the concepts of love, family, and life values. What do you want to live for, and what are you willing to risk for peace. This story will fill your heart with light, right after it breaks it into a thousands pieces, all set within a world like you've never read before.

The war between realms has intensified and Ten is coming into her power as the conduit. Ten wants peace, she wants the realms to stop fighting, and she must sacrifice so much to prove herself. She needs to bring Troika and Myriad together in order to save them all. Ten has so much love for Killian, for her family, for her friends, for the innocent people who should never have to make these choices. Ten has so much character growth, but she also experiences so much more sorrow. This poor girl really gets put through her paces.

We finally learn so much more about Killian, which has been my only complaint throughout the series, he was such a mystery and I never knew what his endgame was going to be. I was scared and I knew that Ten needed him, even though they were from different realms and technically mortal enemies. Ten and Killian must be the bridge to bringing the worlds together and well they themselves must get together for that to happen *snicker* - so yes there is some mature content, but hell there was serious torture and loads of violence throughout all the books, so this shouldn't be a surprise.

I was a little disappointed in some of the flip-flopping and back and forths within the book, and at times once again, it was hard to determine where the loyalties lie. It dragged it on a little too much, but I was still completely engrossed in the story and just had to know what and how it would end. These books are very unique and I am sure they aren't for everyone. But I love the numbers obsessed Ten, the bad boy Killian, the poem loving Archer, and all in all the overall theme of right and wrong and that love is powerful.

There is so much action, the pages turn fast, and the most difficult choices must be made. Ten has seen so much, has experienced epic loss, torture, and betrayal. This book is a journey and the series ending is worth every bit of pain and joy it took to get there. It is definitely one of those series you just have to experience for yourself, pick up the Everlife series and find yourself immersed in a wholly unique, engaging, and fascinating world. I hope that now that the trilogy is finished more people will read this series, because it is truly worth reading!

Received in exchange for a honest review.

Wow just wow. What a fantastic last book. It didn’t disappoint in fact it exceeds all expectations and more.

In this last book we pick up where the second book left off. Killian and Ten are about to bond but what comes from that bond is not what is expected. And what happens is so sad. But it also set the book up for the battles that Ten and Killian faced ahead and showed us how love and trust was essential for light, peace and being as one.

Ten is in trouble in so many ways in this book. She is taking on some darkness being bonded to Killian but she is also dealing with people pushing her to do what they what for Troicki and questions her decisions. Eron was wholeheartedly behind her and so were her friends.

Killian is on a journey to finding his way back to being the man Ten loves. Only it seems that she didn’t completely trust him and he has reverted to someone that is allowing his past to affect his actions. Now he is in trouble and Ten is still protecting him as she deals with the consequences of her choice of who she had come out from the rest. At the same time, war is coming to their doorstep and betrayals are occurring. The guardians are a hoot but also very essential. They show us faith and belief in what one wants and doesn’t care what others think. They are loyal to the end.

The story is action packed, full of surprises, loyalty, friendship and love. Ten learns what it means to love and forgive. To let light truly into her world and have blind faith in someone. Killian learns what love is and where he belongs. He learns to trust and forgive but also let go of the past. And their time in Many Ends was wow just incredible. I loved how Killian showed Ten his trust and love and not just said the words. How Killian finds he has people believe in him and trust him and that fills him with light and love. The darkness goes away. And that final battle was full of danger, intrigue, and action. We see decisions being made based on love and trust. We see Killian has absolute faith and this helps others as well.

The story is wonderfully written and just engrossing. There isn’t a moment you are not on the edge of your seat. You root for Killian and Ten but especially for Killian to find his way. To me he is the key to Ten discovering what love is light truly is. Watching them become one and be there for one another was amazing and so enticing. We get Ten and Killian’s views and Killians are just so insightful while Ten’s are entertaining but give us a look at what is needed to gain light, forgiveness, faith and trust. A book that has you feeling you are in the scenes from beginning to end and just engrosses you in the journey of Ten and Killian to the end. We see love, friendship, forgiveness and faith at the forefront of themes in the book in such a way that we learn from the book but are also entertained. A great ending to a amazing series.

This was the perfect conclusion to an epic trilogy. Each book has totally blown me away, and this one was no different! I got started a little late, due to some issues I had with downloading the e-galley, but once I did, I was hooked. It started off with some of the familiar memos between people that we've seen throughout the other books. And then we were pretty much where book 2 left off, Ten and Killian choosing to pledge their lives to each other, to form a bond that would hopefully be the first step towards peace between Myriad and Troika.

If you've followed my reviews of the two books so far, especially the 2nd one, you'll know that I adored Killian, and the beginning with him and Ten had me right back in love. Until they bond and everything changes. Killian and Ten are affected immediately. Ten now has to deal with the shadows that come through their bond, the shadows that threaten her light and her Troikian way of thinking and doing. But really Killian is the one who gets the short end of the deal. He doesn't remember anything about their relationship. In fact, the first thing he wants to do right after is kill her. His memories are gone, at least all that pertain to falling in love with Ten and their plan to save both of their worlds.

So, while they must fight now against their own sides who are either not happy with the bond, or want to use it to destroy the other realm, what I loved best about the story is that we get to see Killian fall in love with Ten all over again. Seeing him work through his hatred for all things Troikian, as well as overcoming the many, many betrayals he's suffered throughout his First and Second Lives. Finding that love overcomes all, that's something Killian must discover and accept, and something that Ten must fight to continue to believe, even over all of the shadows that overtake her, and the bad things that happen to her.

I want so badly to write a beautiful review for this beautiful book. But alas, I didn't finish reading until about 3 am this morning, and my review needed to be posted before noon today. Without getting too spoilery, I will say that the way things worked out, the solution to it all, reminded me quite a bit of The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, which was a book I loved and read over and over when I was a kid.

Oh, not only did I love Killian, as expected, but Biscuit! And Beast! You'll have to read to find out who they are. And then, we get back a beloved character from before that we thought was gone, and that was so wonderful as well. I enjoyed all of Ten's numbers and her poems as usual. One other fun fact, is that Ten mentions a quote from one of my other favorite series, The Arcana Chronicles by Kresley Cole. I really just fangirl myself when it seems an author is giving shout outs to other authors and their awesome books. Also, we get a tour of Myriad in this book, making me realize we didn't ever know exactly what it was like, and wow, it was so bizarre!

I guess to wrap this all up, if you haven't started this series, go get it now! If you are ready for this book, get your hands on it as soon as you can, to find out how things will go down, and immerse yourself in the beautiful worlds Showalter has created.

I think it's a Great final installment. It didn't WOW me entirely but it was a great read from the beginning until the end because once started, I didn't want to stop reading. I love Gena's writing and she was once again able to lure me into the book right away.

I experienced development issues regarding things towards the end - it felt a bit rushed and sometimes it felt like things/situations changed too fast to my liking. But, I did get my answers to all of my questions so that's satisfying and I need satisfaction when ending a series. I loved how she divided the book into three parts and how I, in that way, got to see a lot of all the worlds/settings again, that I fell in love with the first two books.

We get reacquainted with old friends, we meet new people and we get to see how Tenley and Killian have to fight for the battle of their lives and for their happily ever after. Just when I thought they had it all after reading book 2, these curveballs were thrown their way very early on - PREPARE YOURSELF! I LOVE Tenley's character and she keeps growing still in this last book and I adore the fact that she remains so strong - sure, she has her moments of weakness like we all do - with or without 'someone' at her side. She fights hard for what she believes in, for the ones she loves and she goes above and beyond to achieve her goal and this time she plans on keeping Killian a huge part of it - but like I said; CURVEBALLS! And they will kick some fangirls ass, so prepare for some major heartbreak and feels, lol.

There's so much I want to rant about, fangirl and talk about with someone because aside from the sadness, heartbreak there also is a lot of joyful things to talk about. The addition of the animal guardians in the book was awesome and I love how Gena puts her love for animals in her writing.

So, overall;
* It had its moments when I was figuratively 'brought to my knees' with tears pooling in my eyes and a heart ready to break - this happened during sad moments but joyful moments as well.
* It was yet again, beautifully written and I don't think Gena is even able to disappoint me on that front because her writing is just always stellar I think.
* I loooved every second spent with these characters because I came to love them as if they were my closest friends.
* I loved spending time in Troika, Myriad and other places again - the world building is just so awesome I think.

And despite me having issues regarding the story-line development at times, I still think it's a good ending of the trilogy since it answered all my questions. I do think though, if there was a fourth book, the series would've had the possibility of developing better since the author would've had the chance to expand things in this book and give more attention to some scenes. So I keep hoping, seeing how things ended, there'll be a fourth book in the future.

for now.. This was a Good ending to an AWESOME trilogy that I've enjoyed immensely from the very first page of FIRSTLIFE until the very last page of EVERLIFE and I'm really grateful to Gena for writing these awesome books

What a series ending! What an amazing ride, guys!

You all know how much I love this series, and let me tell you, this book was exactly what I wanted and more. We see Ten and Killian navigate the new stage of their relationship after they bond with each other, while the entire world is against them and as the war between Myriad and Troika grows bigger and bigger. Ten finds the balance between light and dark, between love and hate, while Killian....well... Let's just say that part of my wish after reading Lifeblood came true. Part of it. It was glorious!

What I liked most about this book is that it isn't your typical series ending. Showalter does a genius thing with the ending, which is awesome, because it's not as neatly tied with a bow as it usually happens in trilogies. Which means that now I wonder if somehow this means that there might be new stories within this world or maybe even a spin-off. Even if this is the very last story within this world, I still love it. Because it's not a complete ending, where everything goes super well and there is no glimpse of anything changing in the future. On the contrary, I feel as if a lot of things are left to the imagination, so really, Showalter gives readers a chance to imagine their own version of what happens after The End and I love that. I also loved that I did not expect what happened. I was sure that the final battle will turn out to be very different, but Showalter managed to surprise me a lot.

The pace is great and I was glued to my tablet's screen until late in the night, because I couldn't bear to stop reading. We get to meet old characters that I didn't think we'd meet, we meet new characters, and we get some answers. I like the fact that some things are still a mystery, and that some things were left to the imagination. Now of course, me being me, I would definitely not be mad if Showalter decided to do the awesome thing of writing a spin-off *hint*hint*.

Final Thoughts: I loved this book and it was the best ending I probably ever read in a trilogy.

"I am fire, he is ice, yet we fit."



Everlife is the third and final book in Killian and Ten's tale. This entire series was riveting from start to finish. It's a story that's driven based on love, sacrifice, and betrayal. It's a nail biting, on the edge of your seat novel that you won't be able to put down till the very end.

War is brewing.....
and Ten will stop at nothing to keep the peace between Troika and Myriad. With the heavy loss of recent battles, Ten's numbers have dwindled, and her enemies know her secret weapon.... Her lover Killian.

You can't trust anyone in this wicked game.
Keep your friends close and enemies closer seems rather fitting for the final conclusion to the Everlife series.



"There is no power stronger than love, and the greatest sign of love is giving."


What started out as a forbidden love story, turned out to be so much more. Ten is the light to Killian's darkness, and together they will stop at nothing to build a better world. They are both enemies, but the attraction is bitter sweet. Their bond is their weakness..... and both their enemies know just how to strike.

Pain, death, and suffering is inevitable....
Both Killian and Tens love for one another will be tested, but through it all.... their bond will not break. For it shall bring peace to the world before them.
