This series had a great prequel that spiked my interest. However, the first book was average for me. While I liked the writing, there were a few things that were predictable and annoying. 
Secret dislikes of her werewolf half. She thinks of werewolves as "animals." Vampires are "primarily human in their behavior." So, when it turns out she is "soul-bonded" (yes, it's everyone's *favorite* trope/plot device: the love triangle!!) to 2 werewolves, I thought she accepted it too easily. (Rolls eyes). And Lucas is the Alpha of the East Coast pack with Desmond being his second. And Lucas is a billionaire. 
Secret was also a born wolf. "A born wolf is a thing of legend among our people." She's also born royalty. 
I didn't appreciate the cliffhanger ending. Nice development with Secret's mother Mercy. 
In short, Secret is Super Special! The prequel was much better. This was average, not-so unique, and ho-hum.

Secret is 1/2 vampire and 1/2 werewolf. No many know of her mixed heritage. She happens to be an assassin who kills vampires are dictated by the vampire counsel. She's out on a date and is also trying to kill her next job.
This was a great introduction and I'm interested in learning about Secret, this world, Holden, and anything else that pops up.

At last in the series finale of the Secret McQueen series, we find out just what happened at the end of book 7. Zombies - or the undead have risen thanks to some Necromancers who party crash New York City. 

Now, Secret must gather all her forces, vampire and werewolf alike to battle their most formidable foe yet. But yet along the way her friends and allies keep dropping like flies and it takes everything in Secret just to keep going. 

Can she make it out alive with those closest to her or will the loss of several of her friends drive her to edge again? And what of Calliope's prediction? Will she finally meet her end next to the she truly loves? 

But wait...just as things were wrapping up at the end, Goodreads lets us know that there's ANOTHER book continuing after the series finale. What? It's a SERIES FINALE that means the series is over - not continuing! Ugh! Just when we thought everything was all wrapped up, now we have to wait for the new book coming sometime this year. How can we all possibly make it till then?
