Rituals: The Cainsville Series | 
pickThis is the last of this series, although there are 3 novellas that I would like to read but can't find. I enjoyed this series.#SeriesLove24 @Andrew65 I found one more spot on #ISpyBingoMay @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks with great liberty. 😀 By my Libby app, this book has 581 pages, so I consider it almost a chunkster. #ChunskterChallenge2023 @Amiable
#BacklistReadathon. @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks well, I managed to read most of this book . I have 87 pages to go. I didn't realize it had 587 pages. Plus it was get the garden ready week.
I haven't read a Keely Armstrong book for awhile so, this one is it. #BackListReadathon @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks
pickI enjoyed this series, not my favorite from Kelley Armstrong but I loved the characters. She has written some of my all time favorite book boyfriends 😍

I did it, I did it! I finally finished this series... Now leaving Cainsville 😔
Not my favourite books ever, but I will miss the world.
Down to the last 20 pages of this series finale! Needed popcorn. I'm not one to stick with many series, so this is a monumental moment.
What books are you carrying into 2020??
Mine are Northanger Abbey and Rituals, both of which I'm about halfway through. My final book of the year turned out to be The Lost for Words Bookshop, which I loved.
Finally starting the last book of the Cainsville series. I really hope I enjoy it 🤞🏼 I can't recall much from the previous book, but I remember thinking the story had dragged on and probably should have been a trilogy. We'll see where this goes though 🤷🏽♀️
pickA very good conclusion to the Cainsville series, without actually being an ending. I‘m happy to know there are continuing stories, even though it frustrates me that this was billed as the final novel.
I‘ve been playing a gig this past week, which has kept me busy but also allowed me to read in the downtime. Finished Polaris Rising, then this, now on to a reread of Magic Bites.
pickI loved this series so much! Kelley Armstrong never fails to give me a series a I can't put down 💕
pickI loved this book. Actually the whole series. Sorry to see this is the last one.
"What I remembered was the kind of kiss I would read about in books and chuckle over, and think the author was making a mountain out of a molehill. It was a very nice molehill, to be sure, but the over-the-top description belonged farther along that path, when the fireworks really started. But that kiss in the river? It WAS the fireworks." #kiss #QuotsyJuly18 #PrinceofJuly
“Sandy beaches or rocky surf?”
“Am I correct that sand attracts people?” he said. “Crowds of people?”
“Rocky surf it is."

"I lay there, and while some part of me knew I was alive, I couldn‘t #process the fact. Even when true consciousness returned, it felt like the ebb and flow of a tide, a lapping awareness that I lived, followed by a mental and physical and emotional blank." #QuotsyJune18 #QuotsyCatchup
"Two men who‘d been so important in my life. Two fathers I‘d loved with all my heart. Two very different men, and yet in some ways the memories felt the same, and that was confusing and unsettling. It also felt unfair to both, but what else did I wish for? That one of those relationships had been strained, like with my adoptive mother? Hellishly complicated, like with my birth mother?" #father #QuotsyJune18
My sore throat & sniffles turned into a full-blown cold so I left work early & would've been completely miserable if not for the realization my hold came in! So between bouts of coughing, sneezing & nose-blowing, I've been completely absorbed in this book & irritated when I need to put it down. If I weren't sick, I'd be staying up to read, but I need the rest. I'll get caught up on Litsy tomorrow (once I finish the book, of course!)
I finished Betrayals too quickly! I wasn't able to pace myself, damn it! Now I have to wait 5 days for my library hold and I don't know what the hell to do with my life. 😱I know, I know. It could be worse... At least I can read the e-book in a few days instead of having to wait until the paperback comes out in August, but DAMN!! #BookwormProblems #BookishProblems
pickI liked the humor, the writing, the plot and especially the hero. I liked him a lot more than the heroine, too bad she was the focus of the finale. I didn‘t read the whole series, just the finale. There is enough recap, and it‘s oddly satisfying not to have to wait for the final reveal.
pickI've loved this series from the start and I have always, ALWAYS been team Gabriel.
We got all the answers, we have a complete ending but it's how we got those answers and that ending that bothered me. I wanted a bit more oomph to the story, a bit more power and maybe a bit more insight into Gabriel's thoughts.
Having said this, I loved the series, I just wish I could have given 5 stars as I did with this books predecessors. 4/5 stars
pickI am sorry to see this series end, but am happy that the final book was a good one.
pickI really enjoyed this book! As the conclusion to the Cainsville series it did not disappoint.
pickOne of the main reasons I have continued to read the Cainsville series is that I've really enjoyed the unique and complicated relationship between the three main characters. This book continued that trend. A twisty, satisfying conclusion to an entertaining series.
pickQuedé muy satisfecha con el final de la serie de Cainsville. Me gustó la trama y la forma de comportarse de los personajes. Hubo varias sorpresas y buen desarrollo de las relaciones.
Ya quiero saber qué más nos traerá Kelley Armstrong
pickThe ending I hoped for to my favourite Kelley Armstrong series. Laugh-out-loud funny, nail bitingly suspenseful, and pretty damn sexy. (Okay, slightly mawkish, but here I don't mind.) I'm going to miss these characters. And the crazy town of Cainsville with all its gargoyles.
Might as well use this for #SeptemBowie #ModernLove
I consider this more of a selling point than a spoiler. There's a love triangle that goes back to mythical times, and every incarnation of it ends in Shakespearean style betrayal and death. Mainly because the guys are being stupid. But this current trio go "Nope. Not doing that. We're all friends, and it's complicated, but we're not having any drama or daft ultimatums. And def no murder."
Ok, know what? I'm gonna put aside all other reads for a day or two and enjoy this one. It had better be a good ending to the series. #HighExpectations
Also, this counts for #RIPXII so it's not like I'm ignoring all my challenges here. 😆
pickFinished #RITUALS last night. (And yes, there's a book missing from the series... I share my obsessions.) I can not express how much I love Kelley Armstrong's writing. I will be anxiously waiting for the next great thing.
pickThe final Cainsville book. It was awesome. I'm going to seriously miss these characters but thankfully I won't have to miss them for long. Kelley Armstrong mentioned that she will be doing some more short stories set in Cainvilles. Yay!
With only four months left of the year I look at my incomplete reading challenges and despair. My TBR is too big and scary to list, or even contemplate. And so my #SeptemberMostAnticipated are books that aren't in my challenges, but just pure enjoyment for this weekend's #LitsyPartyOfOne (Except that I have found a challenge to put them into with #RIPXII 😂) Time to #fallintobooks and read for dear life. 😁
pickA fitting ending to a great series, and what a rollercoaster ride it's been. Twists and turns in this last installment, with quite a few that weren't even hinted at before giving this series new surprises until the very end. As we turn the last few chapter on Cainsville, I must say I'll miss this odd crew of fae, mythical creatures, mayhem, murder, mystery, traps, betrayals, double crosses and so much more.
pickI've been reading the Cainsville series all week and will be finished the last one today. Didn't like the love triangle but otherwise I couldn't put these books down! And I'm glad I waited until all the books were out - it would have drove me crazy to wait in between!
Finished up my main Harry Potter re-reads, up next for me is the next (and last) book in this series...which came out last week.
I can't wait to see how she wraps up all these twisty plots!
Arrived yesterday... all other books must go on hold so this beauty can be read right away! 👌🏻
A friend preordered this for my birthday and it came today. Sadly it came to work so I was only able to read a bit of it. For some reason they don't pay me to read.
1 - Ontario 🇨🇦
2 - Norse Mythology
3 - Depends on which book is delivered or comes in from the library next.
4 - The Last Unicorn
5 - Jurassic Park
6 - Rituals, final Cainsville book
