Eden (Providence) (Volume 3)

This ENTIRE series has been an absolute blast to read. I got so caught up in all of the characters and was dying to find out how it ended. It was a very easy read and I just couldn't put the book down!

Just finished reading trilogy and loved it! If you liked twilight, it is even better. The characters were easy to connect to and the suspense kept me reading! Was totally different than Beautiful Disaster which I loved, but still loved how the story developed with more complexity and plot. Totally recommend series!

Jamie McGuire does not disappoint in this third installment of the Providence series. It was action packed right from the beginning. And while I do not want the series to end, it was a great and powerful way for it to end. She is a talented writer with a lot of knowledge (the things she talked about in this series blew me away!) I've never read books like hers before- Love it, Jamie! Keep em coming! :)

I really loved the providence series, it was a lot different from other books ive read but I think that's why I liked it so much.. I wish she would write another book about them with their new baby, I was so sad when it ended

Just finished reading the last book of the Providence Series. Really loved it and enjoyed reading about Jared and Nina. Did a lot of crying through out the book and laughed too. Do not want to spoil by giving out details, but I do want to say it was Amazing like the other two, and really LOVED the ending. Also sad that its the end of their Story!!!

Unlike the time frame between Providence and Requiem, Eden picks up right where Requiem left off... Literally picks up exactly where Requiem left off - the very next day. I actually really appreciate the immediate continuation of the storyline because, quite frankly, it would have been difficult to follow along if parts of the storyline was told through flash backs (like with Requiem).

I really appreciated how this series hasn't just focused on Nina and Jared. I liked how much the other characters were so developed in the first two books and that character's depths were really highlighted in this third book. I really loved how we were able to see the progression of Ryan and Claire's relationship... Especially in the second half of the book since it was mostly action filled. I secretly wish Jamie McGuire would write a series on Ryan and Claire! Whenever they were in the forefront of the story, I was always left wanting more!

The only reason I didn't give this book five stars is because I was a little disappointed with how the plot progressed... Providence and Requiem was constantly shocking me into disbelief... But there weren't as many shocking twists and turns in Eden - mostly because Providence and Requiem had spent so much time building up to Eden's climax (as it should have been). The story proceeded and ended just the way I assumed it would, but that's just the way it had to be. Basically, if you've already read Providence and Requiem, you pretty much HAVE to read Eden so you know for sure how everything played out.

Initial Thoughts:
This is the final book in the trilogy, so I was hoping to get the answers I was looking for in the first two books. And hopefully a happy ending too.

The Pros:
Action. Freaking. Packed. Big upgrade on the other two books! The series started as a romance, and ended as a thriller.

All of the conclusions that I wanted to happen, happened. I don't want to give away too much.

The ending battle was intense. I really didn't know what was going to happen. I like when I can't figure out the author's next steps.

The culmination of all the different paranormal beings in this book was super intriguing. It was like seeing what you were taught in bible school come to life.

The Cons:
The same writing flubs she made in the first two. Gets me every time.

Some of Nina's friends sort of get shoved to the background. I liked Beth's character and missed her a lot in this book.

The hybrid baby thing was a little too Twilight for me

The Wrap Up:
A good way to round out a series. Full of action, a dash of romance, and a happy ending. What more could you want?

Favorite Quote:
"I felt like Winnie the Pooh trying to squeeze into the honey tree."

Breathtaking ending. My heart raced through this whole book, dying to know what was going to happen next. The ending was perfect and didn't leave me unsettled. Bex and Claire have to be my favorite characters and I'd love to see a spinoff book for one of them.

Eden was freaking beyond amazing and it blew me the hell away. It was everything I hoped for and more. Jamie Mcguire is one brilliant and talented author, and the Providence Series will always be my top favorite series.

I really love the first book, really liked the second one, got to admit- the third was begining to repeat itself an i left it halfway.
The characters are great, the story gets complicated but...ah.... some of the tension got lost.

Though I loved the Characters through and through, this ending didn't really do it for me. The concept was good, and I liked the story line, I just felt it lacked hardship at time. Some of it seemed too easy, which made it not as thrilling to read. Some of the ending build up was odd, and not as climatic as I hoped, but the first 2/3 was great.
I would have gave the book a 3, but I loved Ryan and Claire. There story line made up for quite a few things. There chemistry could basically have its own book. So far that purpose I had to give it inleast 4.

I finished the second book and went straight into the third book (three books, in three days!)

I was half excited and half sad that this series was abruptly coming to an end but I couldn't slow myself down, I had to know what was going to become of Jared & Nina, Claire & Ryan, Beth & Chad, Bex, and all the other characters in this book. I actually think toward the end Bex wound up being one of my favorite characters.

I liked this book, most of it I would have given 4 stars for just like the others. Yes, I found grammatical/proofreading type errors, which I again found seriously annoying - but by the time I got to this book, I had learned to let it go.

The only thing I didn't like about this book, and why I gave it one less star is that I felt we had a lot of story and build up over the first two books and then most of the third and then I felt that the ending was rushed. It was this whole story of good vs. evil and then it was just over. I'm not sure if everyone felt this way or if it's just me, nor am I exactly sure how it could have been made better but it left me feeling annoyed when it was over, because I just felt incomplete. Not in the way like with Beautiful Disaster, I just wanted more Travis and Pigeon/Abby, but sort of like I felt let down that it was just kind of over. Here's evil, because He said so, the end.

Obviously, you have to read it if you are reading the first two, but I personally found just the last few chapters a little rushed and I was for the first time annoyed with Nina.

All in all, still worth the read!

I really liked the Providence series. I didn't think I would, but couldn't wait to finish one to start the next. Eden, was a good ending to the series. However, with all last books, you hope there is more coming. I would recommend this series, it has a little of everything. Romance, suspense,good, evil, mystery.

Another great book by Jamie McGuire! Eden was a perfect ending to the providence series! Jared and Nina's story of love and triumph have shown through all of Jamie's books and Eden showed how love can continue through all hardships thrown at someone.

While I am absolutely devastated the Nina and Jared story has come to an end, I am extremely happy with how this trilogy ended :-) The Providence series was wickedly awesome with beautiful characters and a hot action-packed storyline!

I really liked the first two books in this trilogy and I was totally into this book at the beginning. Everything was leading up to this big war between Heaven and Hell, but when it was all said and done I was left saying "really, that was it?". The author built everything up and then I felt like nothing happened. We never got any details of the actual war which was a bit of a letdown. And boy was I pissed when after spending so much time in the tomb Nina just decides to come out and put herself in danger. Also, Nina and Jared's discussion with Eli lead me to believe that Nina would do some amazing feat... she grabbed the devil's wrist... that was it...?

I really hate when people are rude in their reviews, so I'm really trying not to be, just trying to give my honest opinion. When it comes down to it I felt like Jamie rushed the ending in this one and that it was really underdeveloped and underwhelming.
