With his dying words, H—Jacob Portman’s final connection to his grandfather Abe’s secret life entrusts Jacob with a mission: Deliver newly con­tacted peculiar Noor Pradesh to an operative known only as V. Noor is being hunted. She is the subject of an ancient prophecy, one that foretells a looming apocalypse. Save Noor—Save the future of all peculiardom.

With only a few bewildering clues to follow, Jacob must figure out how to find V, the most enigmatic, and most powerful, of Abe’s former associates. But V is in hiding and she never, ever, wants to be found.

    I love this series! The first three books were wonderful, and the fourth one was okay, but this book? I honestly wish I'd never read it because it almost ruined the series for me. First thing: Noor. Was she a bad character? No. Did I like her overall? Yes. I just don't think she should've ended up with Jacob i͟n͟ t͟h͟i͟s͟ b͟o͟o͟k͟. I think that Riggs could've made it so that she and Jacob had a meaningful, believable relationship. But he didn't. The romance was extremely rushed, which made me feel honestly almost cheated, because Emma's romance with Jacob was so well written and beautiful and I hate that Riggs just made the excuse that she's still in love with Abe so he could toss Noor in. If he'd given us more time to get to know Noor and understand why she and Jacob work well together then I think they could've had a relationship just as good as Emma's with Jacob. But that's not what happened. And it was incredibly disappointing. The book made no sense and I had to stop reading it for like a month before I forced myself to pick it back up. Not gonna spoil the ending, but it was extremely confusing and honestly? I don't even know if I'm going to read the last book. I just don't care about this series anymore after this book. Anyway, in conclusion, the only good part of this book was (SPOILER) Fiona's return. (SPOILER OVER) That's all I have to say I guess.

    Three words. Oh. My. Birds. This book is phenomenal and I practically fell in LOVE with Noor. I would rate this a 10000000/5 stars if I could. I’m so happy that the worlds best book series isn’t over. Clearly there will be another book. As a fellow author (in training) I know that you cannot simply end a book on a cliffhanger without making another book. I’m SOOO excited to the next book. Please do read it. - C
