Who knew the truth could be so devastating.
I need to decide which side to take. But can I even trust myself?

She's gone, but I'll scorch the earth to find her if that's what it takes.
Xander
She's gone, but I'll scorch the earth to find her if that's what it takes.
I'll call upon friend and foe for the battle that is to come. The fires of hell couldn't keep me from her and whoever thinks they can take what is mine, is going to regret it for all time.
One thing is for sure. The Crash could ruin us all.
There is only so much one person can endure before they break.
There was nothing I ever wanted less than to be Princess at the Royal Court. After devastation rocked my whole world, the return of my mother doesn't seem like the dream it was supposed to be.
I know how to be a warrior. I have no idea how to be a princess...
With her whole world turned upside down, and her heart still broken, who will Addie be at the end of it all?
Hearts can break, faith can plummet, but souls can Soar.
Rapture, The Immortal Chronicles #4
The Final Installment
I never wanted to lie to her, but I knew I couldn’t keep her safe if she knew.
I hurt her, more than I ever wanted to and I have to live with that each day that I’m away from her. But one day she’ll know, that every day spent away from her was hell.
Watching her move on.
Watching her change.
But it will all be worth it once she’s safe.
Even if she doesn’t know it, she is my Rapture.
Darra's Review:
I read all books back to back and made it much easier to follow along. So this review will include a little from all the books. I have not read much YA Paranormal for awhile(not in that age bracket anymore) but this is definitely worth your time.
The first book starts out when Addie is just a small girl transferring into a new school. It goes onto her teenage years and her plans to become part of the Red guard. I liked Addie alot, even considering her age. Shes strong and is a loyal friend. As you will read, plans don't go as planned. Especially when people close to you are not who you can trust. I felt terrible for her. So much betrayal.
The second book is when her life is turned upside down. She is not what she was told all her life. I did not expect what was to become. I really liked this book because it was twist and turns all the way through. The horror's Addie had to endure was awful. This was my favorite book in the series. It was non stop with something happening. And parts are hard to read. However i had to know what happens in the third book with that cliffhanger.
In book 3 she is trying to move on with her life and it has become difficult to do just that. She has to live a new life of being a princess. Which is completely different to what life she had before. It is quite ridiculous how Fae royalty is but she must embrace it to stay in good graces of everyone. Which means she had suitors that she had to pick to become her husband. This is a hard pill to swallow considering she is still in love with Xander. At the end a major bomb is dropped that I didn't see coming. I mean, WTH! But I LOVED Dante. He is seriously perfect and I was surprisingly on team Dante.
In book 4 Addie already knows it was her mother that had planned to take her down. Talking about bad parenting! However her father was great. Unfortunately some Fae's do not embrace what Addie is. They fear her. She is trying to do right by everyone she loves. However it is very hard to save everyone if she needed saving herself. There was one point I thought this was the end for her. However do not fret, her life unfolds at the end with all the people in her life by her side. There was a definite surprise how her life turns out. I didn't expect it. Since I was team Dante, that made it easier.
I am glad the ending was slightly different than most books I read. Not everything is picture perfect. And this book end like that.
I rate the series a 4.4 out of 5.
