Restoration by Randi Cooley Wilson
3.0
Type of read: Lunch/Weekend Read.
What made me pick it up: Suggested by a friend and coworker who is letting me borrow the series after they're done reading them.
Overall rating: Just a recap of my reviews from the first four books in the Revelation series...For when you need a good book that doesn't completely ruin you, this is the series for you. It's low-pressure, low-stress, and slightly predictable content that can suck you in but doesn't overtake your day. I was slightly disappointed with book #4 but I feel like it was trying to get from one point to another without dragging too much out.
And finally, the review of the final book in the series, Restoration:
It took me a minute to realize where we were at during the first few pages but obviously, that's the point. I do appreciate that Cooley Wilson tied up some loose ends from previous books. I feel like there were definitely some parts that were clearly put in to try and put a nice finishing touch on the book. A 'how do we make sure the story ends cleanly' type of plot. I'm not totally mad at that, but you can tell that Cooley Wilson was trying to wrap it up. I do think the way it's set up for the Royal Academy of Protectors series to take over is a smart move, I don't know if I'd want to read more with Eve and Asher as the main characters. I mean, let's be honest, how many times can you almost die, hate each other, make up, love each other, and make everyone gag at your incessant PDA? Definitely not mad that I read the series. It wouldn't be high on my list of recommendations but it is a nice sort of intro into fantasy spicy, which I think is what it mostly has going for it. There are definitely some writing inconsistencies throughout the books and series but overall, it's a decent read...clearly it kept my attention enough to finish in two days.
Reader's Note: Revolution includes themes of death, dying, assault, torture, war, and sex. We get to a very mild level of spice. There is also some light BDSM.
