You have given us a true masterpiece with Afterlife and Transfusion so I just want to say a big thank you.xx Dealing with dyslexia, she was always determined to overcome any obstacles placed in her path, with her gift for storytelling shining through. Writing poetry as well as horror and romance, she would always be looking for new and exciting ideas to help inspire her. Still writing to this very day, she lives with her family, as she continues to put out stories and work at an ever consistent pace.

The ending... Matthias turns into a god, Lucius said ‘the only thing that can beat a god is another god’ and what do you know Amelia becomes a god and defeats him. It’s exactly the same ending as afterlife, where Keira became a god to beat the enemy. Like seriously? Yes, I missed lucius, I won’t lie and did the Mcbain bro’s make up for it? Nope. Not for me. Yeah sure Trice is hot but for a die hard lucius fan that’s not a factor. I loved this book because I loved seeing Amelia growing, becoming independent and doing things without Luc, but I won’t say it’s my favorite even tho I feel it because there are more books coming so I don’t know if the next one will be my ultimate favorite.Thank goodness I read them through my Kindle Unlimited account because having to pay for this would have seriously peaved me off. I think if the sex scenes were left out, these would appeal to 12 year old girls looking for a dark night fantasy. Except because there's no character growth, I wouldn't let my daughter read it! I have been invested in many of the different Afterlife series. Lucius was always a favorite of mine and I was slightly disappointed with his characters interactions with Amelia. It just wasn’t the same “heat” as with he and Kiera.

Okay so first off and for the 5th time now(I started reading these just after the second book came out)...WHY?!?! Seriously Stephanie are you trying to kill me with these cliffhanger cutoffs? I swear to you I will still read the next book even if there is no cliffhanger! I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship with these books lol.While the fearsome sex scenes are extremely intense and erotic between these two, and who doesn't love growly Lucius, I sometimes felt lost in the story because it seemed they just kept being thrown in every other scene. I would have preferred more on the communication side. For instance, when Lucius finally got around to discussing his daughter, it was a glossed over paragraph in which the reader never was able to experience his emotions in the telling to his Chosen. There were some heartfelt moments, and it was nice seeing some normalcy. Christmas at home with the gang was fun - great to reconnect with the Afterlife side. I just which there was a bit more balance.

Also the relationship between him and Lucifer was rather interesting. The comment he makes at the end of chapter three, when he says "you will bring me my queen"...it makes me wonder if her other novel 'devil in me' is set in the same universe as this, if that's so then is he referring to lily? Because lucius was never in that book...eh maybe I'm just reading too much into it. Another thing I'm curious about is whether or not lucius is actually the king of death, because I feel like in one of either the later afterlife books, which of course would've taken place way earlier than this series, they mentioned the king of death and how he'd already found his electus(I could be wrong though, of course).It’s hard for me to get into this book because for starters, it drags and drags and drags and drags... you get what I mean. And then the heroine is so unlikable. She could convince herself until she’s blue in the face that she isn’t the same naive, 21 year old girl who naively gave herself up to the Hero only to be humiliated, but alas, she’s still the same girl at 27 year old.
