Thanks to NetGalley and Cara Lockwood for the opportunity to read and review this book.
Miranda and her friends are back at Bard Academy for their Senior Year, things start out normal, well normal as far as Bard is concerned. The same enchanted forest, trouble-making teenagers and ghost instructors. Senior year brings more than just prom and Parker problems for Miranda; she also has to decide whether to go to Penn State University where she has been accepted, or stay on the island and marry her true love Heathcliff.
Strange things start to happen before she can make her choice. Catherine Earnshaw is at Bard, she could pass for Miranda’s twin. Her purpose? To take Heathcliff back to Wuthering Heights with her. But that’s not all that she wants.
Miranda and her sister, Lindsay, are called away for a family emergency. When they return, the island is empty, completely empty, no students, no teachers, even the school is gone! Miranda must use the remaining books to find their friends and rescue the school, before it’s too late.
I love this series, it was a fun and fast read. This is an adorable series, it’s sad that this is the end, but I can’t say I didn’t like the ending, I did.

Miranda Tate has survived a lot during her years at Bard Academy. Now she is finally closing in on graduation after a completely uneventful Senior year. But she does have a decision to make: go away to college at Ivy League school Penn State, or stay on the island and marry Heathcliff who has just proposed to her. Because he's a fictional character and tied to his story, Heathcliff is unable to leave the island. Does Miranda have to choose between a life well lived and true love? She may not get the chance to find out, because strange things are happening at Bard again. This time Catherine Earnshaw is behind them, determined to punish Miranda for taking Heathcliff from her (even though she thinks that he's basically no better than garbage). Catherine's plan to "improve the classics" has negative consequences for everyone. But there are even more surprises in store, including Heathcliff's almost double, Sydney Carton from A Tale of Two Cities who is brought forth by a surprising personage. Also, it turns out Catherine is there by someone else's design to keep Miranda and Heathcliff apart. Miranda and her sister Lindsay have to leave school for a family emergency, but when they return the school itself has disappeared and so have all the students. With the vault of magic books also missing, the few that Miranda still has access to will mean the difference between rescuing her friends and saving the school, and having the world end because of Cathy's plot destabilizing the portals between fiction and reality. Will everyone come out of it alive? Also, will Cathy manage to get Heathcliff once more for herself and what role will Sydney play in all this. The teachers (dead authors with unfinished business) also have a few tricks left up their sleeves before the last page is turned. I honestly thought it was a really strong conclusion to the series. I liked the plot twists and the imagination behind all of it. It kept me just as intrigued as ever. But the romance between Heath and Miranda lagged quite a bit for me. It ended up too angsty and Sydney Carton was my bright spot. I practically howled in rage at what he ends up doing at the close of the novel. I would recommend this for people who have read the first three books only. If this sounds like your kind of book, read the other ones first!!!
VERDICT: 3.5/5 Stars
