The End of Desire (A Rowan Gant Investigation #8 & Miranda #3)
5 journalers for this copy...
Instead of being with his wife Felicity, Rowan Gant is in New Orleans doing research on Miranda, a LWA (deified spirits within Vadoon religious practices) and his wife has checked herself into a psychiatric ward. It was thought that Felicity was a killer who was into bondage when it was her identical half-sister Annalise Deveraux who committed the crimes. When Felicity was out of control it was because Miranda was riding (Possessing) her just like she does to Annalise.
The difference between the two women is that Annalise made it happen and she likes what Miranda does for her. While in New Orleans, Miranda using Annalise’s body kills another man and when Rowan is caught investigating, the police send him home after Miranda puts him in the hospital. Annalise does not want Miranda riding Felicity and the only way to prevent that is to kill Felicity but Rowen and their friends won’t let that happen even when Miranda binds them together again.
This is the end of the Miranda mini-series and it is a fantastic finale. The use of magick is more overt than ever before and readers see how powerful Felicity and Rowan are in their use of it. This is as much a love story as it is a paranormal mystery because Rowen will do anything to make sure his beloved Felicity is safe. M. R. Sellars is a grand storyteller, who as a practicing witch uses his knowledge to make sure his Gant saga feels magically authentic.

This series is getting better with each book. Rowan still drives me crazy with his impulses. One would think a practicing witch would have to have more control. Sellar's stories are getting better and more gripping.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
So I finally finished this. Took me forever. The conclusion of the Miranda Trilogy. Finally. I liked the story, the writing style is still annoying. The rambling conversations, sucking up space on the pages but contributing little to the actual plot, seem to increase in quantity with every book. I did a fair bit of skimming. And as with the last two or three installments, I am still undecided if I should continue with this series. I already have #9, so at least one more to go.
Arrived safe and sound, with several little gifties inside, here in Colorado. I am almost done with another ring, so I will get that done, and start this one :-) I am excited to get the end of the Miranda trilogy.
I finished reading this morning, and I am agreeing with cathe -- I found myself skimming a lot. I don't really know if he needed a trilogy to tell this tale, maybe just two books more tightly written. It could also be i wasn't really in the mood to read this book right now, as I have found I have been enjoying the books more and more as the series went along -- until now. This one was eh. and it still left things hanging, I thought we were getting things tied up in the trilogy, but alas that is not the case.
I wanted to add that this book is dedicated to Browncoats, and has a shout out to Firefly in the text. Nice!
