Everything comes to an end.
Brigid Connor is a vampire familiar with ghosts. The ghosts of her past, the ghosts of her victims, and the ghosts of those she couldn’t save. Now in the wilds of America’s most remote frontier, she’ll face a specter who has haunted her steps, a fire vampire with a baffling connection to Brigid’s mate, her clan, and those she holds most dear.
Tenzin is an immortal who has lived a hundred lives. She’s been a daughter, a sister, a villain, and a hero. With every millennium, she has evolved, cutting ties with the past and moving forward with relentless focus, a survivor among the fiercest predators in history.
But history has a way of finding those who flee from it.
Tin God is a crossover between the Elemental Covenant and the Elemental Legacy novels. It is the final book in the Elemental Covenant series by eleven-time USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Hunter.
Elizabeth Hunter is an author I have enjoyed for more than a decade. She has many great series. Her world building is rich and her characters feel authentic. Although, with some of them it’s good they are fictional.
Tin God is a crossover between two series, Elemental Covenant and Elemental Legacy, which is fun having the characters from both series. It is also the final book in the Elemental Covenant series. I really enjoyed this series because they did investigating and solved mysteries and I like that. These are urban fantasy series so I would read the books in order. Also because they are wonderful to read. There is a subtle sense of humor which is fun.
There were more layers and points of view to blend with the crossover. For the plot, it totally makes sense. The women sort of left their mates to go solve the problem, and the men were mad. In a way, the women were trying to protect them from things they felt were their fights. Each couple has some discussions about how they work better together.
The time apart gave the groups time to do research and figure out what was happening to cause the attacks on boats and vampire / human compounds in remote parts of Alaska. It wasn’t simple, even though vampires in this world have territories. I think partly because the remote area attracted vampires who don’t care about the rules. However, it was easier to play off the former territory holder, Oleg, against the current one, Katya. There was nice relationship growth and even sexy times for each couple.
Overall, the vampire world is very long lived so there are some complex and tangled histories. Brigid is younger and also is a force to bringing things into the future with better treatment of all people and species. All the research. investigations and searching build to the battle at the end.
I found the conclusion to Brigid and Carwyn’s series satisfying. I’m sure we will see them in the World as the series with Ben & Tenzin will continue, along with a new series about Oleg. I’m excited there will be more. We’ve only begun to untangle Tenzin’s past and learn about Ben’s capabilities as a vampire.

Wonderful that this was a satisfying end to. Series you’ve enjoyed, Anne!
yes I’m sorry to see this series in the world end because I love the mysteries.
I started the series and need to keep going and get to the related series. Glad it ended on a high note for you.
I think they are really good and hope you enjoy them too.
This is an author I keep meaning to try!
I really enjoy her books and she writes in a number of genres.
I’m glad you’re enjoyed by this series. I like vampire stories and it sounds good.
Thanks Naida. It’s a big and complex world with lots of spin off series. I really enjoy it.
I love vampires and this world sounds interesting.
Sorry I’ve been MIA for almost 2 weeks. My internet was out and I had a hard time getting on blogs with my phone. But it’s fixed now and I’m making my way around to all the blogs I love.
Thank you Mary. Good to see you. This is a great indie author.
I’ve enjoyed her books in the past, but I don’t know about this series. Will have to look into it.
Elemental Covenant with Carwyn and Brigid is a favorite because they solve mysteries and fight for the underdog (usually humans being mistreated by vampires).
I started with A Hidden Fire and I’m enjoying them so far. They are just moving super slow. But I will definitely continue. Just have to read some ARCs first.
yes! I find it totally frustrating when I discover something I want to just read the whole thing NOW but I have a full ARC schedule already.
Gotta love a good cross-over! Plus vampire familiar? Interesting!
These vampires are really interesting because they all have an element they are best able to manipulate.
I love when authors do crossovers like this! And it’s always great when the conclusion to a series you love is satisfying. Great review!
Thanks Lisa. I think all her series are good.
