Publisher Description
Trapped on the wrong side of Bridg o’ Doon, Mackenna and Duncan have to find a way to return home and help in the fight to free Doon from the witch’s grasp. Heartbroken at the loss of Jamie and her friends, Veronica must rally her troops for the impending battle, but on a covert mission she finds that Jamie may be alive and fighting a battle of his own. The fate of Doon hangs in the balance in this finale to the Doon series. With the Witch of Doon on the throne, Jamie believed dead, and Duncan and Mackenna trapped in Alloway, Veronica has no choice but to put her grief aside and prepare her remaining followers to battle against the false queen and her forces. But while on a mission to steal a powerful elixir from the castle, Veronica discovers her true love may actually be alive, and fighting from the inside. With the Brig o' Doon destroyed and the portal fragmented, Doon’s forces are not only divided, but isolated in different dimensions. With Kenna and Duncan stuck in Alloway, and the magical rings to return gone, they must find a way to rebuild the bridge for any chance of crossing back into Doon with their ragtag army. The storyteller that originally told Mackenna and Veronica about Doon comes to their aid— and may be as ancient as the witch herself. But with danger around every turn, and Mackenna insisting on fighting as well, Duncan soon realizes the only way he can ensure her safety is to give her the skills to defend herself. Saving Doon while keeping their lives intact will take a miracle, but everything comes down to the hope and friendship of Vee, Jamie, Mackenna, and Duncan.

Wonderful Conclusion
Forever Doon is the fourth book in the Doon series by Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon. As such, I don’t suggest reading this review until after you have read the previous books in the series because it contains spoilers.
The zombie fungus is back, and it is worse than ever. Half the Doonians get stuck in the modern world, including Kenna and Duncan; Jamie has reportedly been executed by the witch, who has taken over the castle; and Vee and her followers are gathering an army deep in the forest. Heartache and chaos abound.
Forever Doon is a wonderful conclusion to the Doon series. It ties all of the loose ends together in a spectacularly beautiful ending. At the end of book three or the beginning of this one, Jamie was executed, but something went wrong and he survived, unbeknownst to his friends. It was difficult to see Vee and Jamie suffer the way they did because of this, but their ultimately sweet reunion was worth it. I loved seeing both couples grow closer through all of their troubles, for they were better for it. Vee and Kenna also grew closer in a way one would not expect but that worked splendidly to the benefit of the novel. The ending was absolutely beautiful!
There were a couple of thing that did not make sense. Mainly, the callings from all over the world and the calling between Vee and Kenna. Those were miracles that had never happened before in the story world. They benefited the plot, but the calling between Veen and Kenna especially seemed as though it could have been a cop-out of the authors instead of finding a better to their solution. It was a cool idea, but it seemed almost forced.
Overall, I enjoyed Forever Doon as a great conclusion to the series. I would recommend the series (reading them in order, of course) to readers of YA romantic fantasy.
I received this book from NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
