Hitched: The Final Five is book 3 in the series and again follows on directly from the previous book. In this book, we delve a little more into the world of Azar and get to know the different realms as Kimmie-Jayne travels to meet the families of the final five contestants as part of the show. Some of the families give her a very warm welcome, while others don't seem so keen on the potential future daughter-in-law or the consequences of the show. It is now clear why the show is being filmed and why Kimmie-Jayne is being sent to the families in the respective territories. There is political propaganda behind the show, namely whether the supernatural world should reveal itself to the human world. Nothing has been decided yet and the producers and whoever their patron is, are hoping for a positive vote, but it is not yet clear what such a decision would actually mean for the two worlds and what danger it might harbour for the humans. On her journey, Kimmie not only gets to know the families better, but also sees what a potential life with the respective bachelor could look like. For most of them, this would mean a life in Azar, but with some she could also continue her normal life in her world. She sees what a life together would mean for her, but also for the men, and realises first-hand that not everyone is so enthusiastic about the show and what it means for Azar. I thought it was great that we get off the island Mystic Cove and get to know other parts of Azar, even if you only get a small insight, it's still somehow realistic, because she's only with the families for a few days at a time and there's so much going on that she doesn't really have time to see much of the Azar itself, but rather concentrates on getting to know the families and spending time with the bachelors. You get clearer insights into the world, also on a political level, but you also learn more about the various species that live in it. In addition, some mysteries are finally solved: who was responsible for Aren Carter's death and for all the accidents that happened during the show? It's an easy read, I find the author's writing style very pleasant and light and you can read her books really well and quickly, they are well written. I can definitely recommend the series, it's not a reverse harem, even if the show format of The Bachelorette makes it seem a bit like that. Again, book 3 gets 4.5 stars (rounded up to 5) from me and I'm now looking forward to the last book of the series.
