I too enjoyed this series. It was a bit Buffy, Regency and Romance all wrapped up in one. The ending to the series wrapped things up nicely although you were still left with a bit of the discomfort that occurs when anyone finds themselves as the last to be chosen or in this case, not chosen at all. The main character showed herself to be a bit more frail in this book then the previous 4 but I enjoyed in none the less. Ms. Gleason has the ability to really believe in the characters, flaws and all. The indecision of youth is present as is the angst of being thrust into a leadership position despite being at the delicate age of 19 or 20. All in all it was a great combination of paranormal fantasy (because who wouldn't fantasize about a guy like Max) and realistic character development. Nicely done!
