Darkest Mercy

Great ending to this series!!

DARKEST MERCY, by Melissa Marr, is the final book in the Wicked Lovely series. The previous books lead up to a action-filled, suspenseful, and romantic ending to the series.

No character was safe in this book. The faeries that I got to know and love throughout the series were tested to their limits against the prospect of a fight against War. I liked the multiple POV structure of this book. Marr weaved her characters in and out of each other's lives to create an amazing web of intrigue and suspense. The pressure of the Courts to be strong overwhelmed the reagents, and I was curious to see how far they would all go to protect their fey.

The love quadrangle between Ash, Keenan, Seth, and Donia supplied some heavy sexual tension. Marr definitely tortured her characters through their decisions, and in turn I, as the reader, was tortured! Some incredible events transpired just between these characters but it was astonishing and such a perfect path laid for these characters which I never saw coming.

My only disappointment was the ending of this series. I will always pick up a book that Marr writes and these books will stay in my library for a long time. It is sad to see the end but I am very pleased with the result.

A cover note: How GORGEOUS is the cover? The Wicked Lovely Series has always been know for its great covers but I think this one blows them all away. That flower and the colors make this book one to pick up even if you have not read the series. Major props to the art department on this one

Darkest Mercy

Having read Darkest Mercy (Wicked Lovely, #5) by Melissa Marr the fifth and final chapter in the wicked Lovely series I have to say nothing turned out quite like I expected. First several characters were killed which I didn’t see coming. Then several characters changed roles and did unexpected things. All in all a really interesting and explosive way to end the book series and well done.

In this final book we find that the fairies from all the courts must find a way to work together to overcome one fairy who by shear defiance has called herself queen and is out to destroy all that is and will be. But working together could prove harder then expected when discord and unseen obstacle keep getting in the way of saving what each values.

Melissa Marr has a way of capturing your attention from first word to last and keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen when you turn the page. For nothing is as it seems and with each new discovery comes the knowledge that people aren’t what they seem and they hold more secrets then you can think to imagine.

The End Was Beautiful

The ending of a great series is always hard to read for me. There is the apprehension ow staring it since you know that it is the last, combined with the longing you have held o see what happens to your characters in the first place as you have waited.

Darkest Mercy is the final book in the Wicked Lovely series. In it's pages we come to massive story conclusions and lost characters, intertwined with found love and court changes. New characters are introduced, and old beloved characters are changed forever.

There were jubilant times, and teary pages.

Darkest Mercy was an amazing conclusion from Melissa Mar. At the last page the story ending felt completed and some characters are moving onto new paths, but it felt good to finish.

The loose end weight was lifted from m shoulders and I could set the book down feeling good.

If you enjoyed the Wicked Lovely series so far, you will love the finished story. Marr weaves an amazing story with enough love and tragedy to cut it with a knife, and yet the finished product still leaves you with a satisfied sigh.

The characters interactions were all well played out and described. A great conclusion to an epic series.

Dead to me

Ms. Marr, I had been waiting for what felt like forever for this book, but when I finally got it . . . I was so disappointed. My feelings can be summarized as this: you are DEAD to me.

Amazing finale to the amazing series! I love how everything ties

Amazing finale to the amazing series! I love how everything ties up together from the previous books. Highly recommended!

<3333

I have so far read all the wicked lovely books up to this book, including Old Habits and Stopping Time, and i have absolutely fallen in love with the series. I loved this ending, it was perfect and it is definitely in my top favorite books. BUT YOU MUST READ THE OTHERS BEFORE DARKEST MERCY!!!! You wont get it if you dont. I want everyone to have the full wicked lively eperience.
Also try old habits and stopping time (only available on ebook)

Loved all of the books in this series!

If you want an urban fairytale then you CAN'T go wrong with the wicked lovely series

Love this series, didn't want it to end.

This is the last book in the series. I was happy with the way it ended but at the same time it was rather predictable. I very much enjoyed the fantasy of fairies and the interaction with humans.

Good series!

Wasn't my favorite fairy series but I liked it.

Wonderful and enchanting

One of the best books I've ever read.

Great book

This whole series is awesome!

FUN

THIS IS A FUN SERIES AND I ENJOYED READING THEM

Enchanting. Living up to its name, the series was truly wicked l

Enchanting. Living up to its name, the series was truly wicked lovely. It ended phenomenally all the while being a page-turner from the very start. It's books like these that make me wish fantasy could somehow become reality. I love each of the books immensely, and I implore the ambivalent prospector to give this series a try.

At last!

Throughly enjoyed the entire series. Melissa Marr tied up everything nicely and had an actual resolve for all the main characters. If you haven't read the first four books you'll be totally lost. Unlike most authors, who'll give brief background/character info, throughout the book, on previous book in series, she doesn't. so read the first four first!

I love to get that escape from real life issues, if only for a few hours, when reading. This series did that for me. Might not be for everyone, but all her books did that for me...

Love the series... hate this book

This book is OVERWHELMINGLY DEPRESSING!!! Everyone that she has made you love through all the other books dies!! Seriously there is 3 MAJOR CHARACTERS DEAD before you get half way through the book!!! Personally I don't generally like to be confronted with quite as many deaths as this book presents. I prefer a bit more happy & much less tragedy. I was unprepared for it to be so dark when the other books were not.

Fekk yesh my friends!!!!! :D<3

I have no words. Yeah, this book is that good. I could NOT put it down!!!! I loved this book. If you don't believe me about it being so great.....READ IT FOR YOURSELF!!!! I'm so bummed that the series is over. :( but all great things must come to an end sometime I suppose. I'm satisfied. :3

Great series could'nt put it down

Love Melissa Marrs writings, leaves just enough to the imagiation. And has a health kind of imagination.can't wait for the next one

Great story, so-so ending

I love every book in the series and this one was no different. I read it in two days it was so addicting. The reason I rated it a three however, was it paled in comparison to the others in the series. It started out beautifully, very well written. But the ending was not to my liking. Not to say someone else wont like it, but to me it didnt even come close to the amazing endings from melissa marr i have come to expect.
