Endless (Embrace, 4) Paperback – May 6, 2014

I don't know if I have ever said this about The Violet Eden Chapters, but this is one of the BEST SERIES EVER!!!!! I am so blown away after finishing the fourth installment in this series that I can barely form words. This book is that amazing. There's just one question I have to ask...WHY?! Why Ms. Shirvington do you do the things you do to me?! There are so many feelings in this book, I can't begin to list them all. I laughed, I cried (very hard I might add, and basically consistently for the last 25% of this book), and was left mind blown by the very end. I am sooooo desperate for the next book, it's bordering on insanity.Violet has come unbelievably far since the first book, Embrace, and I have loved reading every single second of it. Her journey takes on a completely new meaning in this novel however, and it is one nonstop, action-packed, thrill ride that you never want to get off of. Endless is full of suspense, violence, and of course...romance. It picks up right where we left off, Violet has gotten her mom back (which is something she's not entirely sure how she feels about), and Lilith is back with plans to take over and change Grigori history forever. This book definitely had a different feeling to it. Everything was more serious, more critical, and it was make-it or break-it time. We follow the gang to the Academy in New York, which provided a nice reprieve from the setting of the previous books. But from there, it spirals into mayhem and chaos. Linc and Vi are forced to go on the run, but no matter how far they run, no matter where they hide, they will always be found. Both of them, along with Phoenix have to face their choices, and it all results in a violent ending.There are many shocking twists in this book, especially at the end when a certain character dies. This book had me in tears for a good chunk, and it will do the same to you. Just when I thought everything might just be okay or there might be a back-up plan that would fix things, I was proven wrong. And this was one of the best parts. Ms. Shirvington doesn't back down from a challenge- much like Violet- and is willing to break readers hearts. Now when I say break readers hearts, I mean rip our hearts out of our chests, throw them on the ground, and do the Mexican Hat Dance on them. It's not pretty, trust me. Violet is changed forever by the events that occur in this novel, and I can only hope that things will reconcile themselves in the next, and final novel.Everything in this book is incredibly well written, and the scenes jump off the page. This whole book played out like a movie, and to me that is one of the best feelings in the world. I loved finding out more about Violet and her angel maker, as well as what her mother sacrificed to originally get rid of Lilith. It wasn't an easy journey, and every single character is affected in one way or the other. It is literally going to be torture waiting for the next book, and I will be one of the first people in line to get Empower as soon as it comes out. This installment will more than please any fan of this series, and if you haven't started this series yet, go get it now. Don't even consider anything else, just go get it. You need to read this as soon as possible because you are missing out on a truly amazing series! Happy reading :)5+++++ stars

The Embrace series is one of my favorite book series. They are very entertaining and don't follow the usual plot and have some unusual plot twist. The writing and characters are both amazing and I couldn't help but love this story.That being said I don't really have much to say about Endless. I can't give a review without spoiling everything because this book had so much epicness that I had all the feels and it broke me and I loved every painful second of it.Endless is just another fantastic book in this must read series, the story just keeps getting better and if you have gotten to this point then you don't need to be convinced how this series is everything. However if you do just let me list somethings:1. Violet2. Lincoln3.Lincoln & Violet4. Phoenix5. Violet & Phoenix6. Through down with Lilith (the Hag)7. Heartbreaking Moments8. Epic deathsReally this list could go on forever. Read the book, read the series and you will love it. I am so heartbroken over the fact that there is only one more book left in the series, Empower is waiting.

Such an array of emotions!How will I ever get over them?This book had me smiling, even a few giggles here and there...Even bigger grins at some parts of the books. And then...it happened...What happened you might ask? I can't tell you!Well, I could, but I don't want to give away spoilers.Throughout the book, I just felt...like....WOW..AMAZING..LOVE IT!And then some!Never, in my history of reading, has a book made me feel the way this book has. Yes, there have been other books that have touched me and made me feel things emotionally that were draining in a way..but never like this....I struggled through Emblaze and almost gave up completely. But I decided to trudge though it and finish it...Oh, how glad I am that I did!!If I had given up on this series, I would have missed this wonderfully [heartbreaking, (hide spoiler)] roller coaster ride of emotions!When I read Emblaze, I just had a feeling of, ugh, I really dont want to read this, and, it seems like she really didn't want to write this story [Emblaze]..Then recently, I read some where that she did struggle to right it...And it almost didn't get finished (I do believe it was Emblaze, if I am wrong, I will try to come back and correct it)Moving On:If you are reading this series, and you're about to embark on this roller coaster, well..expect to have to hold on tight...It will take you for some serious loops!This book has me not sure if I can even complete my reading challenge this year and have to just take it down a few notches! lol..And I havent felt this way since, well, another series I read a while back ago that I wont mention, but it was for two different reasons! :-)

This was a well written and enjoyable series with enough intrigue and angst to keep you going throughout the entire series. For those like me who love/hate a tortured love story, this book is perfect. It is a series of complex and interesting characters, as well as intriguing and sometimes heartbreaking plot twists. Not only does it have an interesting spin on the whole, Fallen Angel/Nephilim theme, but it also has just enough action, surprise twists, and unfulfilled love and passion to keep you hooked. In it is the culmination of all of that angst that readers have worked up throughout all of the earlier books, as well as a satisfying conclusion to what has been an exciting and enjoyable journey.

Hate the ending to this book but I will love this series ENDLESSLY !!:) A must-read, tell all-tale you don’t wanna miss!

This is one of my favourite books, its so raw, emotional and one hell of an incredible ride. The characters, the joy, the pain, the love and hate. All of it amazing, I love this world.

everything I expected and then some. great read

This is a series I come back and read often. I love the storyline and characters and watching them grow as people. I want more of Violent and Lincoln.

I was overwhelmed with all of the soul mate talk. It makes me wish she was with Phoenix more than ever. They are better suited. Happy for the parents.
