REVIEW:
THE WONDROUS AND THE WICKED is the final chapter in the Dispossessed trilogy, a sweeping epic about love and gargoyles in beautiful historical Paris. In this last part, the stakes are higher, the risk greater, the romances hotter, and Page Morgan absolutely shines.
It's been a long journey to get here with Gabby and Ingrid. Both have lost more than they've gained, but all roads have led to this final confrontation. Morgan does a fantastic job of ratcheting up the ante with each book, but tensions are at an all time high now with pieces of the core group spread across Europe. I love how she weaved them all back together.
It's hard to review the final book of a series without spoiling the first two books. But let's talk about what I loved about this book and the entire series:
-Multiple romances: As a romance fan, I loved that each character had someone to love. There were multiple couples to cheer for and ship.
-Paris: I once again fell in love with city solely because of spectacular writing. Morgan creates a lush, vivid world that is within the readers grasp.
-Gargoyles: Seriously? Need I say more?
This is a satisfying conclusion to the series that gives the reader hope for the future and closure on the past. I loved every harrowing, breathtaking second I spent inside its pages.

For fans of Lauren Kate's Fallen series comes the exciting conclusion to the trilogy that includes The Beautiful and the Cursed and The Lovely and the Lost. The Waverly sisters must save themselves before all is lost.
Since the Waverlys arrived in Paris, the streets have grown more fearsome by the day. As Ingrid learns to master her lectrux gift, she must watch Axia's power grow strong enough to extend beyond her Underneath hive. By all indications, the fallen angel's Harvest is near-and the timing couldn't be worse.
Targeted by vengeful gargoyles, Gabby has been exiled to London for her own protection. Meanwhile, the gargoyle castes are in disarray, divided between those who want Luc to lead them and those who resent him and his fondness for humans. The Alliance is crumbling from the inside as well, its members turning against one another, and possibly against the Waverlys, too.
Axia has promised that the world will burn. And now, unable to trust the Alliance, separated from Luc, Gabby, and her twin, Grayson, Ingrid is left to face the demon uprising alone.
