Reader Reviews:
"I loved this book. I finished it in a couple of nights, because I couldn't stop reading it. It has action, romance, and of course, vampires! I liked how the author set things up with Zoey's background before revealing some major surprises (don't worry, I won't give them away here!). I could see this being made into a movie - Zoey is way better than Bella!"

~Final Reckoning: Vol. 4 ~

It all happened so quickly. There Zoey was, after all this time, lying on the ground before me. She looked much, much different than when she’d left me. Whereas before I found her beautiful, because I’d known her for so long and I saw past her imperfections to what was underneath, now I could see how other people would think her attractive, gorgeous even.

Her messy red hair had become light brown and long, and shone wonderfully. Whilst she still had freckles, they were no longer as dark and prominent as they’d once been, and her body, whereas before had been too skinny and girlish, now had a woman’s shape to it, lithe limbs and a full chest. My heart beat rapidly as she darted out from the trees and was thrown to the ground by Isadora— the woman who’d killed Johnny’s entire platoon back in Vietnam.

You! Johnny’d screamed out, staring at the woman, and then he’d quickly grabbed his crossbow. He pointed it at Isadora now.

Isadora smiled. Her sword was grazing Zoey’s neck. For a second I froze, paralysed by the thought of Zoey coming to harm, but then my training kicked in and I picked up my own crossbow. I pointed it at Isadora, aiming instinctively for the heart. The trees were high around us, but even so the sun peeked through and made Isadora’s sword glisten, the blade a bright yellow and the hilt a mystical black; the diamond in the hilt glowed dull green as it always did Remove your sword, I said. My voice was calm and cold. I wasn’t scared or shocked anymore; I was merely focused.

My finger hovered over the trigger, ready to fire at the mildest provocation, but then Isadora lifted her sword away from Zoey. Zoey let out breath and for a moment we met eyes. What did I see there? She looked scared, shocked, determined, and . . . proud? I wasn’t sure, but I thought I saw a glint of pride gleam from her eyes. It filled me with conviction. I would finish this, and then we would be together. I would take her in my arms and we would be happy.

You are my contact? Johnny said.

Isadora nodded. Yes, dearest, have you missed me?

Johnny bristled and I could sense him growing angry. That was bad. Calm, Johnny was a guy you didn’t want to mess with, but angry, he was wild and unpredictable, and made more mistakes than he usually did. I stepped forward. Look, bitch, I said. Just walk away and we won’t stick your ugly little head on a pike. I tried to keep my voice steady, but knowing that the woman you’re threatening is super-human makes that a difficult thing to do.

She laughed, not taking her eyes off Johnny for a second. This one has some fire, babe!

Johnny was about to reply, but then Zoey shot to her feet, pulling out a stake. She lunged at Isadora, who backhanded her without even turning around. Zoey knocked her head on a log and
