Sex, power, control, Yes\u2014that\u2019s the name of the game now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or, wait\u2014maybe it\u2019s always been that. But is this what Vine had in mind when he conned billions into injecting his lies? Was this end game part of his master plan all along? Now, the whole world is his, and it was way too easy. He\u2019s the liar\u2019s liar, the ultimate gamemaker, the grand wizard behind the curtain that would snuff the light of the world out in a single day.<\/p>\n

And I helped him do it.<\/p>\n

My name is Gideon Tyler, and I\u2019m a liar, too. But it\u2019s not who I am anymore. I once believed love made a man weak, but my love for Grace makes me strong in ways I\u2019m not used to. Strong enough to break free from the compliance; strong enough to be defiant. Strong enough to risk my life for what\u2019s right, despite who I was before, and the mistakes I\u2019ve made.<\/p>\n

But dying isn\u2019t on the agenda today.<\/p>\n

I have unfinished business to attend to. I wanted to tell Grace the truths of my past because I love her, but she\u2019s already so damn wounded. How could I hurt her more? I didn\u2019t want to . . . But it\u2019s too late now. My lies caught up with us, took me away from her, and now she\u2019s alone out there, and in more danger than she realizes. The undead are the least of her worries\u2014as screwed up as that is. They\u2019re saints compared to these monsters. But I\u2019ll do what it takes to save her, my songbird, my phoenix. I\u2019ll keep her safe. I\u2019ll wear the mask of a monster, the man I was before, make them believe I\u2019m compliant, reformed, I\u2019ll tell more lies.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll put a stop to their games once and for all, and we\u2019ll survive, fly free from the depths of this hell. We\u2019ll find each other in the dark again, because love is our light, our strength, and it\u2019s strong enough to win this game. . .
\nin the end.<\/p>\n

The truth? You can\u2019t handle the truth! The games have begun! I honestly can\u2019t tell you if I liked Willows in the End or Ravens in the End better. They are soooooo different and soooooo incredible! I mean honestly, sometimes sequels can\u2019t live up to the originals but Ravens is standing tall!<\/p>\n

Willows was the story told from Grace\u2019s point of view. Ravens is Gideon\u2019s point of view. Ravens starts right where Gideon and Grace were ambushed at the church and Gideon was taken. A LOT of questions about Gideon are answered in this installment and boy you better hold on because he has been through the ringer. You will see a side of Gideon that is going to piss you off and another part that is going to have you rooting for him right to the very end. In Willows we know that Gideon was closed off about his past, not necessarily telling lies but definitely omitting information. In Ravens he is placed right back into his own personal hell. Here he will have to continue the charade of the old Gideon with more lies and acting. He has a lot of turmoil because, even though he knows some of his actions and words are lies, they are coming way too easy to him. Almost as if he doesn\u2019t trust himself with the truth. But one thing that Gideon does know is that he has to find Grace. He has to find the woman that made him want to live again. Here is the only spoiler that I will give. He does find Grace and has to watch her make some really difficult decisions. But when I say he finds her, that is really all he does. He can\u2019t actually get to her\u2026.yet. He has had to make some very difficult decisions as well and you will see why, more than ever, they need to find each other.<\/p>\n

The End Saga is very raw. It\u2019s full of turmoil and twisted emotions. Along with the characters dealing with the virus that has given us the zombies they also have to deal with the actual human villain that uses his brain and his own crazy logic to justify what is being done to all these children and women. The End Saga is super intense, very emotional, and beautifully raw. An absolute must read!<\/p>\n
