None of that love was easy to come by, and Nash represented the struggle well.

As those around him did terrible things in the name of love, Brice came to love himself and love the last person he ever expected. With these dynamic characters, Nash built a thoroughly dark and twisted world within The Final Masquerade.ĭespite all the lies, deceit, and danger, Brice LeChoix's tale was, at its heart, a story about love.

They were all uniquely different and motivated by vastly different things. And I loved that none of these characters came from the same framework. But truly, none of the characters in The Final Masquerade were the same people by the end of the story they all grew, adapted, and found their true self throughout this journey. The three main players in this story - Brice, Charon, and Raoul - were all wonderfully complex characters. It was easy to picture every location and surrounding and get transported to this world in my mind.Īnd as the locations pulled me into the story, the characters kept me there. The details were truly vivid, both in the mortal world and especially within the Masquerade even when the LeChoix family home was is disrepair, Nash made the scenes so descriptive and real. Nash's writing style immediately pulled me into her story setting, complete with old world charm and magic where you might least expect it. What a ride this was! The Final Masquerade was quite a bit longer than I expected it to be, so this book took me longer to get through - but I definitely was not complaining. But as time goes on within the warped world of the Masquerade, Brice just might finally learn to trust his heart. With fae trickery around every corner, Brice can't even trust his own senses. Until he's dragged into this inexplicable and untamed world and finds answers to mysteries, decades-old plots for revenge, and a love Brice could have never anticipated. And every year, Brice ignores the invitation. Yet every year, Brice gets invited to the Masquerade - a party where human and fae alike can throw inhibitions aside, dance, and do much more.
