When Mirror fails to escape the barrier using Granny Relda’s body, he turns to his plan B: killing all the Grimms so that the magical barrier collapses. In the meantime, Sabrina has gathered the other magic mirrors as advisors on how to deal with their mortal enemy. They tell her to join forces with the Scarlet Hand against Mirror, in exchange for offering all the citizens of Ferryport Landing their freedom. This final chapter is the end of the road for several beloved characters, but the conclusion is sure to satisfy devoted fans of the series.

More About the Author

After a tragic accident I was bombarded with gamma radiation. Days later, I awoke to discover I had changed. Now when I am angered I transform into an enormous, green monster people have come to call "The Hulk." I faked my own death and I'll stay dead until I can learn to control the savage monster inside me. Wait a minute - that's the bio for Bruce Banner! No, I grew up in Akron, Ohio -- nowhere near any lab where gamma radiation research was going on. When I was a kid I was a roller boogie fanatic but that hardly makes me a monster...even if people were injured a few times when I would "shoot the duck." No, the closest thing I have to a monster inside me are my Incredible Hulk underoos! Does that count?

5.0 out of 5 stars This is my "Harry Potter" April 23, 2012

By J. Longo

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have been reading this series since it was published, when I was Sabrina's age. Never reading Harry Potter until after all the books were released, I never really connected with that series like I did with the Sisters Grimm. When other kids my age were reading about Hogwarts, I was waiting anxiously for each Sisters Grimm book, rooting for Puck and Sabrina and laughing along with Daphne. Despite the seemingly filler 8th book, Michael Buckley did not disappoint in this finale. It was a fabulous end to a fantastic series. However, Mr. Buckley did throw in several twists that kept me on my toes through out the entire book. I can't wait to read the book again! It was absolutely Pucktastic! :D

5.0 out of 5 stars The series has come to an end. April 25, 2012

A Kid's Review

Format:Hardcover

Well, the series has wrapped up. You figure out all of the secrets. What was changed in the book of Everafters, and who did it, why the mirror is so evil, what happens throughout the mess, what happens to Jake after Briar dies, and if Puck ends up with Sabrina. I really like the ending, Puck is really taking up the role of the hero! I just really wish there was a bit more detail on the last epilogue. I feel really sad that the series is over, but I guess that is how it always is. Oh, and the first epilogue? The best surprise guest ever! I would totally encourage you to buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This series is punk rock, gravy, and totally Pucktastic!:D May 22, 2012

Format:Kindle Edition

This is one of the best series ever. Michael Buckley just dominated my favorite author/series/book lists with this. I know some people were dissapointed by the ending but if you think about everything Mirror had said about being abandoned it totaly made sense. I loved the part about the piece of mirror getting into her already magic alergic body and making her really sick. I liked the epilogues but the first one really dissapointed me (I'm a Puck and Sabrina together forever fan <3) but the second one made me so happy i just about screamed. I agree with everyone that thinks that he should continue the series with Sabrina's girls. I can already see the trouble those two would get into. Michael Buckley you are an awesome writer stay Pucktastic!!!!
