This review is for those who have read or are familiar with the previous books, Virals, Seizure, Code, and Exposure, or don't mind knowing major spoilers for them.
SPOILER ALERT
The Virals are back—but they’re not the only pack in town anymore. Terminal finds Tory Brennan—grandniece of the famous forensic anthropologist (star of the hit show Bones)—and the rest of the Morris Island gang tracking a pack of rogue Virals who call themselves the Trinity. The new pack was infected by a strain of supervirus created by Tory’s nemesis and sometimes-crush, Chance Clayborne, who accidentally infected himself, too.
These red-eyed Virals have openly challenged Tory’s pack for domination of Charleston, bringing on the attention of a shadowy government organization intent on learning the secret to their powers. Surviving it all is going to test the limits of the gang’s abilities.
I couldn't have asked for a better ending to a great series.
The love triangle was still a bit meh for me, but at least it was established at the beginning and grew to the finale, instead of just showing up out of the blue for added drama in the final story. Both boys were equally charming, equally dickish (toward each other), and equally clueless. It was definitely one of the better triangles I've read, if don't mind that kind of thing.
And really the only other complaint I had was with the fallout after the big battle at the end, especially in regards to the female baddie. I felt like the resolution went super fast and super easy. I mean, I get that book time was running short and endings needed to be resolved, but the whole purpose of this character, the whole buildup and tension and reveal and drama just felt cheapened by how quickly everything wrapped up with a nice neat bow at the end.
Not knowing going in if this was going to be the last book in the series, I was glued to my screen. Eventually, enough serious stuff went down that I figured this was the end, but I think if you have any love for the series this ending is satisfying.
Well, I still have one last short story to finish out the series. One last goodbye.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
