![]() ![]() See All My Latest Reads (Review Quick-Links) My ARC copy of the book was provided by the author in exchange for a fair, unbiased review. I'd rate this final chapter of the series at around 4.5 stars and happily round that up, thanks to all of the Happily Ever Afters in this crazy series. I'll miss them all dearly, but Eden did allude to other stories in the same universe, so fingers crossed there. This story gave me ALL THE FEELS and I was sad to read the last page, since this series has been one of my very favorites of the last couple of years. ![]() ![]() In short, this is the book where " the boys" finally grew into full-fledged adults, while still retaining all of their weird, wonderful, and let's face it, over-sexed ways. The book contained all of the signature humor and irreverence of the series, along with a good deal of steam however, it also covered more serious subjects, such as proposals, weddings ( and non-weddings), career changes, and having children. This story was such a blast and I'm thrilled that Eden decided to write this five-epilogue book to more tightly wrap up the futures of all of the " fake (and not-so-fake) boyfriends" that we've come to love over the course of this series. ![]()

The Shaman, through training or calling, is one who is able to enter that world and work with the unseen powers. Shamanism is an ecstatic religion with an essential belief in the reality of the spirit world. Shamanic practice is characterised by seeking vision in solitude and is deeply rooted in the mysteries of nature. Shamans may sometimes work together in groups, but the ethos of this way of working is more of a solitary path. Those who see themselves as Shamans place great emphasis upon individual experience. ![]() Bearing this in mind, there are, however, a growing number of men and women who see themselves on a specifically Shamanic path and follow a traditional form of shamanism. Shamanic practices are an underlying aspect of expressions of most religions and there are those who would even describe themselves as Wiccan, Druidic or Women’s Mystery Shamans. ![]() Modern Shamanism is perhaps the most diverse of all the forms of pagan practice and is less clearly defined in religious terms than many other pagan religions. ![]() |
