Summary (courtesy of Barnes and Noble):

The Summer King is missing; the Dark Court is bleeding; and a stranger walks the streets of Huntsdale, his presence signifying the deaths of powerful fey.
Aislinn tends to the Summer Court, searching for her absent king and yearning for Seth. Torn between his new queen and his old love, Keenan works from afar to strengthen his court against the coming war. Donia longs for fiery passion even as she coolly readies the Winter Court for battle. And Seth, sworn brother of the Dark King and heir to the High Queen, is about to make a mistake that could cost his life.
Love, despair, and betrayal ignite the Faery Courts, and in the final conflict, some will win . . . and some will lose everything.
The thrilling conclusion to Melissa Marr's New York Times bestselling Wicked Lovely series will leave readers breathless. 

The final installment in the Wicked Lovely series is no short of amazing! Full SPOILER-FREE review after the jump.

I don't think Melissa Marr can write a book without me absolutely loving every word of it. She is such a brilliant writer! She has done it once again with Darkest Mercy, the fifth and final installment of the Wicked Lovely series. While my heart is broken that the series has come to a close, I can't imagine a better ending for such an epic story. I left this story completely satisfied, which is rare. It had everything! Action, suspense, romance, tragedy....I can't even express how wonderful this book was.

I don't want to write a spoiler-filled review for this one. I know, usually I am all for spoilers, but this book is one that deserves to be saved for your own eyes. It is AH-MAY-ZING. Trust me and go pick this book up right now! You can order it on Amazon below. DO IT. I would recommend picking up the entire Wicked Lovely series, if possible, because it's totally worth the purchase.
