This trilogy is a story of love, loss, betrayal and self awareness. Seraphina Parish starts out as a confused teenager trying to figure out who she is and why her dreams are haunted. When she moves to Chicago to live with her aunt the mystery starts to unravel. Sera learns she is gifted with abilities that are both wonderful and dangerous. She attends school with other teenagers like her with heightened awareness and special talents. She hones her skills as a Wanderer, falls for her protector, makes friends and makes enemies.

In Protecting Truth Sera is growing as a person, a wanderer and a fighter. But she is keeping secrets from Bishop and the rest of her team, a decision that could have deadly consequences. Sera is trying to save her mother and while doing so, she uncovers even more secrets about herself and the Wanderer society. There is corruption, more lies and an oh so hot love triangle between Sera, Bishop and the twin brother, Turner. Sera's life is ever evolving as is her confusion. Who can she trust?

In Seeing Light, Sera learns that the secrets of the Society run deep, as does the corruption. Over the course of this trilogy she has grown so much, but she still has a purpose. I think that all the characters evolved in this final installment and became so much more than they were in the beginning. Mystery, heartbreak, suspense and intrigue overflowed in this action packed finale to a much loved series. I loved that throughout these books Sera and Bishop continued to grow and learn. Bishop is angry, confused and hurt; but he's steadfast and loyal. An unexpected turn of events and an ending I didn't see coming, made this both sad and satisfying. Sad to see the journey end, but very satisfied with how it did.
