MY REVIEW: 

To be completely honest, I may not be the best person to review this series. The only reason I finished this book was because it was the last book in the series and I had to see how it ended. I really wanted to walk away from this series, but I couldn't walk away when I was that close to the end, especially after I invested so much time into this series.

The 13th Prophecy was hectic and overwhelming. I couldn't enjoy this novel because I was so turned off by the Ivy-Collin-Eric love triangle and the Ivy-Eric weirdness. So much happened in this novel, and the characters changed so much that they were no longer the characters that I came to care about. They were different, and not in a good way. I kept reading this novel because I was waiting for the conclusion, but the ending was weird and confusing.

I really enjoyed the first three books in this series: Demon Kissed, Cursed, and Torn. Each novel was nicely paced and well-written. I felt like I knew the characters, and I genuinely cared for them. However, the last two books: Satan's Stone and The 13th Prophecy, just didn't do it for me. They were complete chaos. I enjoy action packed novels, but Satan's Stone and The 13th Prophecy were just too much. Honestly, they ruined the series for me.

I gave The 13th Prophecy by H.M. Ward 2 STARS (2.5 STARS). I know that there are a lot of Demon Kissed fans out there. A lot of people loved this novel from start to finish. I just wasn't one of them.
