Vendu Rituals: The Cainsville Series (Cainsville) by Armstrong, Kelley NEUF

In this gripping thriller, international bestselling author Kelley Armstrong brings the Cainsville series to a powerful, richly rewarding climax.





What began as the search for truth has becomes a deadly game of wills and survival.



When Olivia Taylor-Jones found out she was not actually the adopted child of a privileged Chicago family but the daughter of a notorious pair of convicted serial killers, her life exploded. Running from the fall-out, she found a refuge in the secluded but oddly welcoming town of Cainsville, Illinois, but she couldnt resist trying to dig out the truth about her birth parents crimes. She began working with Gabriel Walsh, a fiendishly successful criminal lawyer who also had links to the town; their investigation soon revealed Celtic mysteries at work in Cainsville, and also entangled Olivia in a tense love triangle with the calculating Gabriel and her charming biker boyfriend, Ricky. Worse, troubling visions revealed to Olivia that the three of them were reenacting an ancient drama pitting the elders of Cainsville against the mysterious Huntsmen with Olivia as the prize.

Now, in the series finale, forces continue to work within Cainsville as the elders and the Huntsmen each try to persuade Olivia to their side. Worse still, Livs feelings for Ricky and Gabriel remain a tangled mess, not helped by visions that in this triangle, everything hinges on her choice. But time is up, and Olivia has not chosen. Things come to a head as Seanna, Gabriels drug addict mother who he thought was dead, makes a surprise reappearance, alongside the revelation of a third supernatural force--a dark and malevolent entity that has had its eye on Olivia since she was a baby and wants to win at any cost.

In the series fifth and final novel, Kelley Armstrong delivers a final scary and surprising knock-out twist.
