Having not had the opportunity to read the entire series (only have if read book 2!), I was nervous that reading book #8 could be a bad decision. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that Maria’s writing and story building had me comfortable within just a few pages. The story is gripping and poignant, and wow is it emotional. I felt attached to the characters and can only assume if you’ve made your way through the entire series that you’re even more attached! I am now wholly convinced I need to go back and read the entire series from start to finish. I would recommend for anyone who enjoys urban fantasy with excellent character building and brilliant interconnecting storylines.

This was a fantastic end to the supernatural sisters, it was empowering, engaging and so addictive.

I highly recommend this series to anyone who wants some supernatural in their lives.

Her Fierce Creatures is the final book in Maria Lewis' Supernatural Sisters series. This series is one of my favorite urban fantasy series. In this book, all characters from previous books come together to rebel against Treize. It was really lovely to see them again. Especially reading Tommi's fierceness was so much fun. The plot was really good too. It was fast-paced and full of action. The fight scenes were really well written. It was very emotional to say goodbye to these characters but the ending was perfect. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves urban fantasy. You definitely enjoy it.

Her Fierce Creatures

An amazing fantasy book which had me hooked from the start. The last in the series.Sadie is pregnant with triplets that could be a hope for the supernatural world. And revolutions are known to be built on hope. With one of her stories here focusing on the challenges and rewards of pregnancy and childbirth, I think Lewis has something important and new to say about that experience. I think she has a great ending. Her Fierce Creatures is her last book Lewis needs in Supernatural Sisters. I highly recommend reading the previous book before stepping into this one so you aware of the characters backgrounds.

When I read Lewis's first book in the sequence, Who's Afraid?, I was a little wary. Werewolves? But it was soon clear this wasn't your typical UF, introducing Tommi Grayson, who has a foot in both the supernatural and mundane camps. Successive stories followed Tommi's further adventures as well as introducing a succession of women who are members of different supernatural peoples - a sprite, a medium, a banshee - and their world - oppressed by an authority known as the Treize.

Now the time is coming to turn on the Treize and the stakes are suddenly higher. Her Fierce Creatures is Lewis's necessary final volume in the Supernatural Sistersbut, gosh, how difficult this must have been to write! Unlike the previous books it has too maintain the viewpoints of all four women - Tommi herself, Dreckly (the sprite), Caspet (medium) and Sadie (the banshee). While they have appeared in each other's stories before, those were generally minor, walk-on appearances and each had a full book (or more) in which to develop (my favourite of those being Dreckly in The Rose Daughter, living her life through the long 20th century, encountering all manner of prejudice and adversity and coming out on top).

Here, there is more of a team-up with the need to keep track of parallel events taking place around the world, at the same time as tying off stories, romances, rivalries and foes. That inevitably makes Her Fierce Creatures a slightly different type of story - but Lewis delivers a perfect completion to her saga, resisting any temptation to make this one endless kick-ass battle and allowing each woman some space. For me, that really pays off. These are not just characters, they are friends we've come to know, women whose stories and struggles have struck a chord, and they deserve an opportunity to reflect on that as they await the end.

And this isn't just a story of endings, it also contains new beginnings. Sadia is pregnant - VERY pregnant - with the triplets who may be the hope for the supernatural world. And revolutions are, as we know, built on hope. In making one of the story threads here focus on the challenges and rewards of pregnancy and childbirth, Lewis is still I think - even after seven books in this series - saying something important and new here about that experience. I think it a glorious way to end.

I really enjoyed this, I must admit I had not read the previous books so I was going in blind but even so, it was an engaging and well written read. I will definitely be going back to the start and reading the other books for sure!
