No one is safe.Secret McQueen, Book 8Secret McQueen thought she'd seen it all, but that was before she, Desmond and Holden came home to find New York City burning and the streets overwhelmed with the walking dead.

Disappointed.... that's me, just now.

Here I have said goodbye to one of my favourite series, and I know one thing for sure. While it lasted, it was one of the most dynamic, explosive, gripping and inspiring PNRs out there, never lacking original content. The culmination of the series? Bleak, weak, and sporting a mean stupid streak....not how I expected, or ever imagined Secret McQueen to end.

One thing that Sierra Dean's writing always had, was thought trough story-lines. She made a conscious effort to place her characters in situations that follow common sense, and she did this every single novel, every single time. That will explain the massive fan base for this series.

So tell me: How the hell does this happen? NYC is burning, and we have 21 necromancers to deal with, right? Right!
We have Secret, working side to side with the entire werewolf pack, the crème de la crème of the undead, including Tribunal Leaders, Wardens, and the lot... and friggin Sigvard the Magnificent amongst their numbers.

So all of them are coordinating an attack against a bunch of humans, and the 'risen' (zombies, but not....because they DON'T DO ANYTHING, and are just stood there, well not stood there, walking around, still NOT DOING ANYTHING...), when Secret gets approached by Aubrey, who's hellbent on settling her debt. So far, so good.

But then! He says he will loan her his power for a night, at the end of witch she will lose her 'otherness', and become human. Wait for it, here comes the stupid bit. At dawn, she needs to kill herself with her own sword....(to cleanse it from the evil she polluted it with). I shit you not, she doesn't bat an eye, and says yes. Even goes trough with it. Without telling Desmond anything.

Oh for the love of god, why didn't she just cut his balls off with a set of garden shears instead? That was the shittiest move Secret McQueen has ever pulled. And the stupidest, because I don't get it. She was in far worse situations, with the odds most certainly not 'eva in her fava', and pulled trough. So what is it????

Secret McQueen can go no further because, she is not meant to. This has been a series that has not run it's natural course, because Dean created a character and a world that still has too many possibilities, and was interesting enough to have faithful readers. It ended this way because the author decided to put Secret to rest and that's it. So all other talk is pointless. No matter how loud the applause, we have witnessed the last encore. At least as we say goodbye to a loved series, we are left with the knowledge that the author still cares for her creation and recognises the many stories still waiting to be told. We will get to see soon enough a brand new twist on the paranormal world we all love. I don't know about you, but I have high hopes for this one... ( )

Saben, esta es una de esas series donde, en la parte romántica, no tanto en la trama paralela, la protagonista tiene tantas "dudas" y "conflictos respecto a quien quiere más", que no me molestaría que al final se quedara con sus tres intereses románticos (aunque en realidad uno ya esta obviamente descartado) y viviesen todos felices en un campito, jugando a 'vampirear' y 'hombrelobear', con hijitos mestizos y bla bla bla...

(En serio, Espero que tenga ese final)

It's not a secret, this is one of my all time favorite series EVER! I'm sad because it has come to an end, but I'm happy because Sierra ended it in a the perfect place and with a perfect ending... and not just that... The villain in this book is exceptional... one of a kind... the best villain ever! You need to read the book to know what I'm talking about.
Thank you Sierra, YOU ARE THE BEST!
