Description from Goodreads:
Evie's paranormal past keeps coming back to haunt her. A new director at the International Paranormal Containment Agency wants to drag her back to headquarters. The Dark Faerie Queen is torturing humans in her poisonous realm. And supernatural creatures keep insisting that Evie is the only one who can save them from a mysterious, perilous fate.

The clock is ticking on the entire paranormal world. And its fate rests solely in Evie's hands.

Endlessly picks up pretty much where Supernaturally left off. It's pretty much more of the same of the first two books, but without all of the original charm. Many of the characters just fell flat. Maybe Kiersten White ran out of steam by the time she got to the third book?

That's not to say that this book was bad, it wasn't, it just was not as good as the first two. Evie loses some of her spunk and fun in this book. Lend also is a lot less impressive (his romance with Evie too). I continued to like Jack (even after what he did in the second book). Reth was also more interesting in this book. It still was a really quick read. It took me less than 24 hours to read counting sleep time. The story still moves pretty quick like the other books in the series. 


About the storyline: In Endlessly, all of the paranormals start to gather by the pond out in back of Lend's house and around town. They want Evie to help them and send them home by opening another gate before it's too late and one can no longer be opened. Evie, who remembers what happened last time she opened a gate, does NOT want to and refuses. At the same time, someone new has taken over the IPCA and wants Evie either working for them or locked up for good. Raquel seems to be missing too as Evie hopes to get advice from her. Evie and Lend have another obstacle in their relationship. The Dark Faerie Queen is taking more and more human slaves into the faerie realm...let's just say there is A LOT that the author tries to cram into the final book. The book isn't that long either, which causes ALL of the above plot points to be very condensed.


Overall, if you have read the other books in the series and are looking to wrap it up, I would recommend this book. Beyond that I would not. I still look forward to checking out more of Kiersten White's books.
