    The End is Nearing it Seems
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2019*

A complete change of venue as Griffin and Whyborne travel to Fallow, the town in Kansas where Griffin grew up and from which he was expelled when the townsfolk learns of his true nature.  Along with Christine and Iskander, the two travel there after two men from the town arrive in Widdershins and are immediately dispatched horribly.  Since Griffin was acquainted with one of the men and is told his foster mother is in danger, he feels he has to return to protect her though he'd been told she never wanted to see him again. THough Whyborne is weakened by leaving Widdershins' magic protection, he won't allow his husband to go to his old home alone.Arriving in Kansas on one of the family trains, Griffin finds the town very changed.  The fields are drought-stricken, except for those at the family farm, now being run by Griffin's foster cousin who has married Marian, the widow of his first lover. She, of course, blames him for her first husband's death and he's rejected by his mother when she learns he's brought Whyborne with him and hasn't returned alone.Though Kansas reveals itself to be more liberal than some states, in that Fallow has a female mayor and women are allowed some voice in government, other prejudices aren't so easily done away with.  The only family who'll have anything to do with the newcomers is a friend of Griffins who has a black wife, and Iskander is treated rudely because his skin is darker than acceptable, as well as the fact that he's married to white Christine.Prejudice and old hatred aside, the threat of the fallow, a spot in the center of the fields where something unholy lies, poisoning the fields and anyone who eats their produce or drinks the water, is soon revealed.  The affected farmers team with the secret society to send the affected grain East where anyone consuming it will come under their spell, and one of its chief proponents is Marian who is determined to make Griffin pay for her former husband's disgrace.As the maelstrom selects those it would keep in Widdershins, the fallow is doing the same to those in Fallow.  Iskander is affected but the main goal is to get Whyborne under its spell.  The time has come for Whyborne to reveal to Griffin the secret he learned from the maelstrom, if he doesn't die  first.A good entry in the series, showing how each person living in Widdershins was purposefully brought to the town, even Griffin. It also gives a good view of Griffin's life before his commitment to the asylum and how events worked to bring him to Widdershins.A great deal of hairbreadth escape, with a slam-bang and breathtaking ending, plus a foreshadowing to what looks to be the finish of the series coming up, and I'm definitely not looking forward to that.This novel was purchased by the reviewers and no remuneration was involved in the writing of this review.

    Another great addition to the series.
  

*by E***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2016*

I was apprehensive because I disliked Hexbreaker and wondered whether Jordan Hawk was in a slump.  But nope,  this book fits right in the series -  continuing the story of the fabulous Whyborne and Griffin.This story is about Griffin's homecoming.  The series in general has dwelled quite a bit on both characters' quest for the approval of their parents.  I kind of feared it would be one of those stories where a cruel parent suddenly has an epiphany and everything is fine (there was a bit of that with Whyborne,  but at least there was a reason)  but I think she dealt meaningfully with the situation.  In the end,  Griffin didn't need his parents' approval.This series is just so creative.  It has gone in so many directions while still keeping a plot arc and bringing us closer to some future climax.  The characters have grown and developed,  the town maintains its own personality,  and the settings are very rich.  I wish she'd expanded a little more on the racial history in the story,  but I was glad she discussed it in the afterward.If you haven't read the series,  start with book 1!  If you have,  you won't be disappointed in this one.

    Emotional, creepy, and freakin fantastic
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2016*

~ * ~ The wind strengthened from over the ocean, coiling around the slender figure standing atop a craggy rock. She might have been some barbaric sea goddess, dressed in nothing but golden jewelry and a skirt of knotted seaweed. Dark swirls marked her pearlescent skin like war paint, and the stinging tendrils of her hair writhed as the autumnal breeze grew into a gale. ~ * ~My first thought? Woohoo, Persephone! After that? Wow, what an opening paragraph! And what immediately follows? Hahaha, you’ll want to read to find out, but I will say typical Whyborne.I’m just going to get this out of the way right now: I try hard not to go overboard with the squee in my reviews when I absoposilutely love a book because that isn’t all that helpful to most people trying to decide if they want to read it or not. But sometimes? Every once in awhile, ya gotta frackin’ let the squee loose. I’ve loved this series from book one, Widdershins, and these characters are some of my all time favorites, ones that I find joy and comfort and excitement in spending time with them. Every time. No joke. Including this one.~SQUEE~Ok, now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I’ll do my best to provide a review that might actually prove useful.Oh, Ival and Grif, surely you’ve by now learned that keeping things from each other in order to “spare” or “protect” one another never works. When will you learn? How many lessons do you require? I groaned a bit when this appeared to be the case, a carry over from the last book and the events that took place then, the past summer in Widdershins. I feel like knocking their heads together. And they’re equally guilty of it. I know this because we get both their points of view in this tale. For real, though, this dual keeping of secrets threatens to undermine the truth of the incredible strength of their relationship. Luckily, and wonderfully, the dual POV is used to fantastic effect, creating mini cliffhangers at the end of many a chapter, causing my heart to race right along with the action.As is the norm in this series, Hawk lays on the creeptastic with the paranormal inclusions. Magic, maelstrom, shadowsight, and… well, you’ll find out.Griffin’s voice is stronger than ever, which works out considering where most of this story takes place and the role he plays.  It feels like Hawk has delved deeper into and understands him better than before. Most importantly his character’s narration is approaching parity with Whyborne’s and that makes for even smoother storytelling, complex emotion, and greater investment from me as I’m experiencing their lives. It also allows for more exploration and development of the relationship he and Ival have. Passionate, intelligent, stubborn, loyal, and still learning, they both are, and it’s awesome. It’s so cool to watch a writer’s progress continue, particularly into an eighth story in a series, and the benefits it bestows upon her characters. Brava.Christine, also as usual, demonstrates that she is badass. She doesn’t hesitate to voice or carry out her plans when it comes to protecting these people she loves, this chosen family. These are true of all of them but she is often first in line to make it happen, whatever ‘it’ might be, no matter how dangerous or uncertain the situation. All four of these characters, these best friends, this chosen family – Whyborne, Griffin, Christine, and Iskander – show growth and solidity in their characters, matching their author’s writing. I will say, though, for as much as Iskander does in this story, I would love to see an even larger role for him, or rather more exploration of HIS story, how he came to be the person he is, how does it feel to be him during these crazy events, and being married to Christine. My inquiring mind wants to know.Magic, adrenaline, humor, fear, love, gore, and many things coming full circle bring on the kind of symmetrical connections that then bring on the tears. At least they did for me.~ * ~ ”I see you,”  I murmured, once he let me speak again. “And I love what I see. More than I would ever have thought possible.” ~ * ~You’ll have to read in order to find out who is making such a beautiful proclamation. ;)*Originally reviewed for Prism Book Alliance® 4.5 stars
