Rating: 5⭐️
Dead Last is a game changer because I didn’t expect to get the answer to important series and character questions this early in the series, but got them we did!
Chase delivered the most important answer to what Lorelei’s character is in a stunning way and it still feels like the series hasn’t lost any momentum. But instead is ramping up its narrative engine even further with this revelation.
This book is funny. It’s highly suspenseful, the characters have become more endearing to us and each other. So much so that as real relationships are being developed, the dangers that Chase is bringing into a town that has been balanced and peaceful is unacceptable and scary. Even for those considered monsters.
And the ending is just as divided. On one hand, it’s satisfying and happy. On another, disturbing and unsettled. Much like the town and characters themselves.
So perhaps, perfect.
I’m jumping rapidly into the next phase of Lorelei’s journey. And definitely recommending that readers who love paranormal stories, great characters, and mystery should dive right into this series.

Dead Last (Crossroads Queen Book 3)
Blurb
Lorelei Clay is desperate to stay safe behind her castle walls.
She’s also desperate for money.
When a mage assassin asks for help with a delicate matter involving a ruthless vampire mobster, Lorelei agrees—for a price. Part of the deal is that Kane Sullivan can’t know. Yes, that Kane. Prince of hell. Demon to end all demons. Stubborn, nosy, and ridiculously sexy.
If only the demon weren’t so curious about her.
Lorelei has spent her life moving, hiding, laying low, and avoiding relationships of any kind.
In Fairhaven, that’s all about to change.
Find out how in Dead Last, the third book in the six-book Crossroads Queen urban fantasy series that features a strong female protagonist, a slow-burn romance, monster takedowns, and Scrabble-playing vampires.
