Though the volume stands on its own, here is some background for those who are just now picking up Jonah, the concluding volume of the Styclar Saga series.  Jonah is a vampire who rescued Lailah from the Purebloods and in the process lost his heart to the vibrant young woman.  He is ready to sacrifice everything, including his life, for Lailah. His choice is complicated by the fact that if he makes the ultimate sacrifice, his friend and rival, the angel Gabriel, will spend eternity with his soulmate, Lailah.  Lailah is struggling with the fallout from her previous actions; she struggles to make the choices that will mitigate the loss, pain, and heartbreak she has brought to others.  A showdown involving the Purebloods is inevitable.

Readers drawn to this series cite the elaborate world-building and dynamic love triangle as outstanding.  Most fans will be satisfied with the ending, which forces Lailah to reconcile her two halves, angel and demon, and embrace what it means to be human. 

Summary: In the conclusion of the Styclar Saga, Jonah the Vampire must decide if he will give up his existence so that Lailah will survive.  If he does, will Lailah spend eternity with his friend and rival the angel Gabriel?
