SYNOPSIS:
Book #3 in the Black Lotus Series.
I’ve come to learn there is no escaping your past.
It doesn’t matter what you do, it will follow like a phantom–haunting you–reminding you.
MY REVIEW:
OMG!!! Expect even MORE surprises and twists from E.K. Blair!!! Never in a million years did I see these developments coming. A tense thriller but with the deep, unbreakable love between Declan and Elizabeth at the center of the story.
“I never gave up on life
because of him
I kept going
because of him”
Hush is the last installment in the very dark story of characters that I will not soon forget. If you have waited until all the books are out in this series, well, wait no more! I highly recommend this highly imaginative and incredibly twisted series. All of the hype surrounding these books is very well-deserved, in my opinion. Nina/Elizabeth, Declan, Bennett, Pike…I grew to care deeply about each and every one. I will never forget this conclusion to this series. While I am saddended that this is the end of the series, I cannot wait to see what E.K. Blair dreams up next.
If you have read the first two books, you know that Elizabeth has lived through unimaginable suffering. BANG, the first book in this series, is one of my top favorite books ever. The emotions, the thrills and the incredible darkness in that book left me reeling. The characters have come full circle here, and although the author certainly stays true to the dark nature of the series, the ending was perfect for these characters.
“We are monsters and lovers, animals and killers, but nothing can extinguish what we have when we’re together.”
As I was coming to the ending of HUSH, I thought, “Where is the author going with this? There are only a few more pages left! GAH!!” E.K. Blair never takes the easy way out and she remained fiercely honest to each of her characters in this series. Sympathies will be challenged and emotions will be tested in HUSH. I am being vague because there is an incredibly risky and very surprising conclusion to this series and it must be experienced first-hand while reading, without knowing any spoilers. Don’t skip to the end!! It has been days since I finished this book and these characters are still filling my head and my heart. Don’t miss HUSH and don’t miss the BLACK LOTUS Series. You won’t soon forget these stories.
