Man, that ending. I don't remember how many of L.J. Smith's books I'd read prior to reading these, but it was enough to develop expectations. Which the final book in this trilogy dashed to the ground.
It's not that it was a bad ending. It fit with the trilogy's established rules and was a "good" ending for most of the characters. It just definitely wasn't the kind of ending that someone reading this as, say, a YA paranormal romance would expect. And Teen Me definitely went into this expecting it to be a YA paranormal romance. I'm glad I remembered enough of what happened to not make the same mistake this time around.
