Description
With the witch of Doon on the throne, Jamie believed dead, and Duncan and Mackenna trapped in Alloway, Veronica has no choice but to put her grief aside and prepare her remaining followers for the impending battle against the false queen and her forces. But while on a covert mission to steal a powerful elixir from the castle, Veronica discovers her true love may actually be alive, and fighting a battle of his own.
With the Brig o' Doon destroyed and the portal fragmented, Doon's forces are not only divided, but also isolated in different dimensions. With the help of a storyteller as ancient as the witch herself, Kenna and Duncan learn they must rebuild the bridge to have any chance of crossing back into Doon with their ragtag army. But when Mackenna insists on fighting as well, Duncan soon realizes the only way he can ensure her safety is to turn her into a cold-hearted killer.
For Vee, Jamie, Kenna, and Duncan, saving their kingdom while keeping their lives intact will take a miracle.

Five stars, BRAVO! I don't say that lightly. Books I really enjoy usually only get four stars from me because not many are perfect in my opinion, but this one is! Same as the rest of the series, which has really progressed. It's hard for a longer than a trilogy series to remain interesting as far as book four (the only one that comes to mind for me that stayed fresh and original is Sarah J. Maas' Throne of Glass series) but this series does just that. It did have a sad feel, partly because it's the last book in the series, but partly because of the events that took place. This book wrapped up everything in the whole series very well The cover fits perfectly with the other Doon books (hate when there are cover changes and glad that for Doon there isn't). Very grateful to have read this book before publication (especially after the cliffhanger in book 3).Absolutely will buy a print copy of this to go with my others when it's released.
So excited I got to read this book early!! I love this series and this was an awesome ending to the series!!!
I've enjoyed the other books in the Doon series and how they incorporate modern and mythical elements. This is such a beautiful finale in the series. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to experience it.
I need a new star rating to add 6 stars! This one picks up where the last one left off. The bridge is gone and those who have escaped have no way to return to Doon......Or do they?
This book was full of romance, danger, and more!! It isn't my fav book of the series (because its the ending) but it was very good! If you are a true fan of this series you won't be able to put this book down. It had no issues other than I wish that the ending would have taken us years into the future.
This one we get to hear the boys!! I was so excited when I saw a chapter in Duncan's name!!! I really did scream!
I really don't know how to put into words what this series and this last book has meaned to me. It really is in my opinion Outlander for teens with some extra fantasy tossed in for good measure. It will stick with me forever and will be one series that I will reread!
Each character grows so much in this book becoming who they will be. The girls find their strength as well as the boys. And each Doonian finds out what they are made of. I really can't say how much I enjoyed this book!
Forever Doon is the 4th and final book in the Doon series. Honestly I'm at a loss for words when it comes to writing this review. I'm not sure that I can completely convey my feelings for this book with words. Nevertheless I'll give it a go...
The book was absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be happier with the way the series ended. (I just don't want to face the fact, that this beautiful, amazing series has come to an end!) On a side note Lorie did say "as of now" when asked if Forever Doon is the final book in the series. Which of course I'm hoping & praying this means there may be another book in the future!
Forever Doon is above all my favorite book in this series. It's dramatic, ferocious and my favorite...epically romantic!
I've come to love each & every character while traversing through the series. That being said, it was difficult at times watching Veronica, Jamie, Mackenna & Duncan go through some pretty tough situations. I felt as if I were there cheering them on, practically biting my nails and even at times closing my eyes and praying they would persevere!
This book is written in all four characters POV, which I loved! I felt that it brought me even closer to each character and made the story very well rounded.
With Forever Doon being the last book in the series things were wrapped up quite nicely. There is one tiny thing I'd have liked to have seen, I won't tell you what it was since it'd be a spoiler but you can always email me to talk about it once you've read it! I'm thinking it was Carey and Lorie's way of leaving a possibility of another book in the series...yep I'm still crossing my fingers on that one!
Also, I must mention...there are new and interesting characters in this installment that I just loved!
Overall I absolutely loved Forever Doon and honestly didn't want it to end. I would recommend this series to anyone who's read Outlander, is interested in time-travel or alternate dimensions or loves books with plenty of adventure & romance, oh and awesome BFFs!
