Sugar-coated and shock-frosted!

Marvelous ending to this series! This book has everything. A sweet wedding couple, a mistery to solve and breathtaking scenes. It unites these aspects of series perfectly and had my crying at the last hour of listening.

And I want this sweets now, the cookies, the fudge and the cake! Someone tell me were to find a winterelf bakery please!

Thank goodness it’s the last one

I sat through this one because I wanted to bring the series, which started fun enough and got progressively more bland with each book, to a close. And thank goodness it’s over with.
While none of the books were great literature it was entertaining enough for long car rides and a lot of the characters were quirky and fun.
But Sinclair is as one dimensional and bland and vomit inducingly good and sweet as a 5 year olds princess themed birthday. He does not bring one spec of entertainment value to the story line, he does nothing wrong has no emotions or thoughts of his own, he is simply there to provide a happily ever after.
The first half of the book is devoted to the mystery, the only character from mystery falls that reoccurs is Birdie, who, outside of her usual setting of the police station, internet researcher/hacker and werewolf becomes nothing but a weird older woman hanging out with a bunch of much younger people and constantly petting their hands saying “there, there, it’ll be ok”. Once the mystery is solved, as per usual Jane lumbers around in the dark and then suddenly answers are flung at her without her previously connected any dots or coming to any conclusions herself, we move on with the wedding theme. Almost 40 minutes of listening time has to be wasted on Jane describing the wedding, her guest, the ceremony so on and so on. Spiders wedding, much like the answers to the murder, comes completely unprepared, one moment he’s sleeping, next minute he demands to get married, two sentences are said, done. It was unnecessary and boring, cringy even.
Then we have to bring the villainess back just to show how utterly helpless and useless Jane is and try to connect the first half of the book to the second to show why this is in fact not two entirely separate volumes.
After vaguely mentioning sexy time possibly happening throughout the entire book series, with both Cooper and Grayson, nothing seems to be happening between Jane and her fiancé. They live separately, never change in front of each other and quite frankly don’t seem too eager to spend any time physically close to each other. After the wedding they make a big plan to finally consummate their marriage and relationship but when they realize that it’s breakfast time they shrug it off so as to not let their parents wait.

The speaker herself was fine as always, each character had their own voice, distinguishable from each other but always noticeably voiced by a woman.
Overall it feels like the author has to fulfill her contract and write one more book and she did so as uninspired and unenthusiastically as one expected from someone forced to write several hundred pages on a topic and a set of characters they have no interest in and no intention of ever revisiting. It’s a sad, annoying and disappointing end to a series that started out with plenty of interest characters, lovely scene setting and great potential.
