REVIEW - East of Ecstasy (Hearts of the Anemoi #4) by Laura Kaye

The Book
Release Date: 22 April 2014
Goodreads Link

Annalise Fallston made peace with postponing her big-city dreams to care for her ill father, but lately she’s been filled with a restlessness not even her beloved painting dispels. Worse, the colors don’t speak to her as they always have, and all her efforts produce dark, foreboding images of a dangerous man and a terrifying future.

Devlin Eston, black-souled son of the evil Anemoi Eurus, is the only one who can thwart his father’s plan to overthrow the Supreme God of Wind and Storms. But first, Dev must master the unstable powers he’s been given. Distrusted and shunned by his own divine family, he never expected to find kindness and passion in the arms of a mortal.

But Devlin’s love puts Annalise in the path of a catastrophic storm, and in the final Armageddon showdown between the Anemoi and Eurus, sacrifices will be made, hearts broken, and lives changed forever…or lost.

My Review  5 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing, LLC, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

Boy am i sad that this is the very last book in the series.  This series has been epic and we have had some tortured souls with these wind Gods.

Devlin is one of the remaining sons of Eurus and the other wind gods do not trust him, but Aeolus believes in him and is training him.  Devlin believes that he must atone for is sins, such as his brothers death, however when he finds Annalise, she turns his whole world upside down and gives him love and understanding and a tenderness that he has never experienced before.

Annalise is suffering from a chronic tiredness illness and suddenly has a compulsion to paint scenes that pop into her head.  She is also the main carer for her father who suffers from dementia. 

It is Devlin who finds out that she is not exactly human and he eventually takes her to the Realm of the Gods where her true past comes to light.

We also get to the crux of the story as the four winds with helpers finally manage to confront Eurus and come the victors, however there are some sad parts that had me with tears. 

I really enjoyed this series and am just sorry that this has been waiting for so long to be read on my kindle.
