My Thoughts

I’m not sure how I feel now that I’ve finished the Minnesota Marshalls series. It’s been such a wild ride, and I feel like I know these characters SO well they’ve become like family. I just move on now? Man, sometimes it’s really hard to let go. LOL! Regardless, Creed by Susan May Warren is an exciting conclusion of sorts to what has been a really good series. I say sort-of conclusion because Creed does not end. There is clearly going to be a new series, and I feel confident in saying that the Minnesota Marshalls will show up again. That’s actually pretty exciting news, and I will definitely try to binge the upcoming series as I did this one. OK, so back to this book. For me, Creed started off a little slowly. It took a few chapters before I became really invested, but once I got there I was all in and could not put this book down. I wonder if perhaps Warren wanted to slow down her time with these characters, too. I get it. Fraser, Jonas, Ned, Iris, and Creed have become very special characters to me. And don’t get me started on all the awesome people we meet, or get to see again, along the way — Shae, Sibba, Hud, Imani, and Pippa just to name a few. I really have to say, looking back on the series as a whole, the characters are my favorite. I love the immense sense of family you get from these books, and really, Creed is all about family. Growing up in an amazing family, supporting each other when scary issues arise, being there for one another, holding each other accountable and encouraging when necessary, and then being brave enough to start new branches in the family line. I loved it all. Yes, these Marshalls are tough and capable and strong-willed, but they are also so loving. Not going to lie, I wish they were real people and I wish I could actually know them. As far as the plot of this story goes, I did enjoy how Warren wraps things up for this series. I wasn’t sure there could be a happily ever after for Imani and Creed. And the passion and chemistry between Fraser and Pippa is AMAZING. I loved their storyline the best.

This review really doesn’t do this book justice. I feel so overwhelmed after five excellent stories to adequately express how I feel coming to the end of this series. Suffice to say, if you are a fan of superb Romantic Suspense, then pick up yourself a copy of Creed (and Fraser, Jonas, Ned, and Iris) ASAP! You won’t be sorry you did!
