The Final Heartbeat: Part 2: A Heartthrob Saga: Book Five
Their love is forever, even if that means making the ultimate sacrifice.
Following right from the birth of their beautiful daughter, Skylar, Jason, and Dave are left rattled from Kyle's vicious attempt at taking their baby--a new hybrid between ghost and human life. With a higher power now born, everyone is bracing for all out war, but the price of ending the battle comes with the unimaginable. I ran down the forest with adrenaline screaming louder than the horrifying cries of my baby. Lightning bolted down beside me. The tree lit in luscious fire. My body thrashed into the muddy ground after I was tripped by a fallen tree. I scrambled back, wincing at my bloody legs. My necklace swirled in multiple colors. My head whipped up seeing Fog and Smoke ghosts clash together in this dauntless war. The death-defying scream from Jason sent echoes through the forest. The fire crackled, burning leaves fell, and smoke engulfed my lungs. I took off running as embers tangled around me in a mystical hold. Dave’s blue aura kissed my skin as I reached the opening. My heart stopped beating. My daughter hung over a raging fire between the hands of a man I never thought would betray us. When Kyle commanded her to be lowered, I lunged forward but Dave caught me. Why was he holding me back? That was when I saw Jason tied to the tree. His jaw was clenched as he pleaded for Kyle to stop. My core shook harder than the trees being ravaged by the vicious fire. Everyone flew back in a different direction. A rainbow mist trickled down from above. Utter shock took over as I watched our baby levitating with exquisite rainbow eyes.

This is the final book in the Heartthrob Series by Estalyn. If you have not read this series i HIGHLY recommend reading it! As, this being the last book it makes me extremally sad. I have enjoyed this series SO very much! Estalyn, is an amazing writer! I loved seeing the character grow and matured together! I am so happy for Skylar and Jason, they finally got what they deserved in the end! I definitely had so many emotions throughout this series. I wish she would continue on with the series but all amazing books must come to an end. I can not wait to see what other books Estalyn will come out with!
P.S. You will all the emotions!

This is the final book in this incredible series. Skylar, Jason, and Hayley will carry you on emotional journey. As Skylar and Jason finally get the ending they deserve. You will see evil vs good battle comes to end. Their journey has been unpredictable and twisted at time. But to have our questions answer and to see Hayley grow up is remarkable. I loved this series and can’t wait to see Hayley’s journey next.

Omg I loved this book but I am sad to see the series over. This book was definitely my favourite. I am still so in love with Skylar and Jason. This was a roller coaster of a read but I am excited and sad too.

This book was a rollercoaster.
And again the last book.
Where you follow Skylar and Jason and their family for the last time in their adventures.
This Young adult series is definitely recommended.

I loved this book. I’m so happy with the way that everything tied together. I love that they all finally get to live in peace. I really enjoyed watching all of the characters grow and mature together. I also enjoyed how well all the loose ends got tied up. I really enjoyed how Sky’s mom, Dave, Richard, Kyle and Ivy were all tied together! I really enjoyed this book series!! I’m excited to see what Estalyn writes next !!!

MY HEAD IS EXPLODING! 🤯
Is there a right place to begin with this finale for this series other than Estalyn went out with a bang for this one! She pulled insane plot twist after plot twist. Although that last and final one seriously left me gasping!
This second part picks up with Jason continuing filming his movie, which takes you on a wild cruise to Europe! The horrible things Kyle has planned and what his partner in crime decides to do left me shaking. I thought the story was about to head in a totally different direction when we discover how strong Hayley is becoming. After a turbulent cruise that pushes Jason and Skylar’s marriage to its breaking point, we end up in Paris where romance rekindles, but don’t think the afterlife is settling down. Dave test the limits of a hidden gift Skylar inherited from her father and once again my mind was blown!
I’m about to get to my last point in this book that will rip your heart out and flip you upside down. The dream, the nightmare that we’ve seen all the way through, just hold on because you will be sweating bullets! I yelled, screamed, cried, then sat there motionless with the captivating ending Estalyn weaved together so perfectly it can’t be touched by no one else.
Also, that sneak peek of the next book after the five year jump, seriously has my mouth watering for more.
Outstanding job to the author for writing such an impeccable series that I have never read anything like before. Cheers to her and thank you for writing something so amazingly enchanting.

Oh, where do I begin? I have laughed, smiled, cried, and even screamed at and with all of these characters (I'm looking at you, Skylar, Jason, David...). I don't want to say goodbye to the Heartthrob Saga and the amazing world Estalyn has created! So, to sum it up in one sentence for new readers: I highly recommend reading this series to experience this wonderful series and all the joy it has brought me! Please go read this saga and you'll know what I mean!
So, to the author, I want to say thank you for writing this saga and giving readers like me a world to escape to and come to love. If I'm being honest, I didn't want this book to end because I knew it meant Skylar and Jason's story was coming to an end. Getting to know them has been one of my favorite parts, especially seeing Hayley! The writing is another favorite part (I think I mention this in other reviews from previous books) because of how well it drew me into the book. It made me feel like I was part of the book instead of just reading it.
Skylar is my favorite character in the final book, especially watching her grow and mature from book one. Jason as well, his character has changed so much! Readers, you're all in for a wonderful story and conclusion to this saga. I cannot wait for the next series that Estalyn creates, I'm already [im]patiently waiting!

I would like to start off by saying that the heartthrob is saga has had me Hook line and sinker from the very first book. Following Jason Dave and Skylar through the ups and downs of not only teenage life but the life of an actor on top of being friends with a ghost. These books have read like a TV series that I can watch in my head as I'm reading it I would really love to see these books come to life on the screen! This final book in this saga has had me at gut wrenching laughs and pages where I just cried and bald my eyes out! The final book is sad for me because I didn't want to let go of the story and we're just getting to know Haley and Damon and the joy that they bring to everyone's life around them. I really don't know how hard it was for them to keep a secret about the paranormal world from their families. I have really loved watching the characters grow throughout the series. Estalyn has really done well with these books I can't wait to read more books from her, her imagery is on point and you can feel the feelings through the pages of her work.

I can’t believe Skylar and Jasons story is over! I have so emotions! It’s bittersweet! We’ve gone through so much with these two and I’m not ready for it to be over. It’s insane to think that we’ve been with them when it all started in the hallway in high school. A normal girl… a famous actor… love… heartbreak… Jason NEVER gave up on Skylar! He was determined and destined to be with her! Seeing how they grew not just together as a couple but individually! How they conquered so much! So much hurt, loss, trauma and tragedy and no matter what it only made their relationship and family stronger! I will always love Dave! The best friend, the protector of Skylar and his family! The bond and acceptance that Jason and him finally share realizing that their number one priority was and will always be Skylar and Haley! Not gonna lie, I was like this is not how this series is going to end… nope don’t do this to me girl! Lol
This series was amazing Estalyn! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

WOW!!! Is my heart still beating?
I laughed, I cried, I wanted to kill Kyle, but what happened blew me away. I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING 😕 Dam Estalyn!!! You sure know how to stop the heart quickly.
After my heart stopped, I was in total silence. All I could do was feel for Skylar! "My thoughts". What was she going to do now? That poor woman has been through hell an back an she's still in hell.
Took me awhile to continue on... as I did, so I was amazingly thrilled to see that ending. But now of course I need to see where Haley is going an what's next. Thank You for the sneak peak Estalyn!!! I am totally on board for your next read.
Looking for a thrill of a read, that will suck you in. Look no further!!! Absolute Stellar!!!

so sad that this was the end
Let me tell you how amazing this book was! I absolutely loved it! And FINALLY Jason’s grandmother got put in her place. Maybe not as forcibly as I would have hoped for, but oh well. It still happened. I have read the entire series and I cannot wait for more books by Estalyn. She is a phenomenal writer who I’m sure will only get better as time goes on.
I love how much they love each other and how Jason does the little things, like wrapping the presents because Sky fell asleep before getting to it instead of just moving it so she can do it when she wakes up.
I am truly sad that their adventures are over, but it was an amazing ride!

Let me start with saying this was a great end to an amazing series. I’m not one for dropping spoilers but let’s just say that some people got what they deserved 😅 This was probably my favorite book out of the series and it was a crazy ride of emotions but I really believe the story has come full circle and it ended just the way it should’ve.
Estalyn has this amazing way of getting you to feel like you’re in the characters shoes and feeling what they feel throughout the twists and turns. The characters growth from book one to this final is wholesome. Skylar and Jason will be characters I remember years from now. I’m looking forward to reading more from Estalyn! ♥️🥹 my heart is so full!

Book 5 was a bit of an emotional roller coaster for me. I was so happy that I finally was able to see Skylar and Jason have the final ending that they so much deserved. And after seeing the sneak preview to another story is just leaving me on the edge of my seat and I can’t take it!! So sad that this series is over because it without a doubt will be one of those series that I can’t stop thinking about and will complete every other series I read to it.
Such an amazing experience, and to the author- thank you for taking the time to create such an amazing piece of work and please I am begging I need that next story out!!

This entire series really messed with my brain and emotions in every way possible, but this book for sure got me. I love that we got to see Sky and Jason go through parenthood and watch their continued growth together. There were so many shockers in this book that absolutely blew my mind. We learn about Dave’s death and get to see how special Hayley is. The ending of this book absolutely ripped my heart out and had me in tears for Sky, poor Jason. Sky’s mom is stunned when she walks in to all ghosts in the room and learns about her son Kyle. I loved everything about this book! This series has definitely been a great read and I highly recommend it!!

This is the final book in the Heartthrob Saga. I took longer than usual to finish this book because I knew it was the last one. I wanted to savor it. I'm trying to think of words to put my feelings into but it doesn't seem they will convey all that I feel. I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster ride. All in a good way. I laughed. I cried. I even wanted to tell off some of the evil characters. I felt so much from the beginning right through to the end. Thank you for such an epic ending to the story. If you haven't read this series I highly recommend it. You won't regret it.
June 16, 2023
So this has been one hell of journey and this final book brings it all together. The author has done an incredible job with these characters, both the ones we have grown to love and the ones we love to hate and the storyline has pulled me in from the very first book! It’s been an absolute array of emotions, I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve gasped and I’ve screamed and I have enjoyed every minute of it including the twists and turns that have had me spinning. It’s an ending fitting for this series and I am sad to say goodbye.

I'm disappointed in the way Kyle's story ends, it was a little underwhelming for me - I saw something much, much worse happening to this baddie. There were some big OMG moments, including a big one that made me almost stop reading the book, but I pushed through and was glad that I had. I am glad that the overarching family drama was resolved in a way that gave both Skylar and Jason the freedom to stand up for their family and their right to live the way they wanted to. I hope we get to see a little more of them in some of Estalyn's future works as there is so much more there to unpack.

Lovely Ending—So sad to see it end!
The Final Heartbeat part 2 is my favorite book of the Heartthrob Series by Estalyn. She did not fail to continue with strong characters and a story that was full of more twists and turns. The story of Jason and Sky certainly expanded the boundaries between the living and paranormal worlds that was intriguing, fun and sometimes sad. I fell in love with their love for each other and their children, Haley and Damon. Although it was sad to see their story end, I am so excited to read Haley’s story in the next book!

i think by far this was my favorite book out of all of them. there was anger, heartbreak, love, all of the emotions while reading this book. going through this journey with Skylar and Jason and Hayley, just kept getting better. we got to learn more about Hayley and some new things happened too that were shocking. but i think this was a great way to end the series, it wrapped everything up great in my opinion!
May 23, 2023
Whew! Ok that was a whirlwind of emotions that was tied up in a pretty bow!
I don't like to give spoilers in reviews but it was a great well rounded ending to this whole series. You will laugh, cry and if you are like me, some thing will make your blood boil but it was a great journey!
I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next for Estalyn and if the sneak peak at her next book is anything to go by, we are in for a wild ride!

I really enjoyed this series and i loved the ending, they finally had their HEA after what they went through, of their ups and downs and all the obstacles that they had it never made their love die for each other.
This bk made me cry it acomplished what only a few bks have and let me tell its only like 4 or 5 bks so far and i do not cry easily.
Thats all i'll say i dont want to spoil it for anyone that wants to give this series a try.

What a great way to end the series!
Skylar and Jason's journey has been like a roller-coaster ride. Full of twists and turns and lots of emtions involved.
I felt like we got a little of everything in this book. From humor and action, to love and so much more!
I thought the author did a great job tying everything up. While I'm going to miss the characters, I'm glad Skylar and Jason finally got their HEA!

First off I’m so sad the books are over. I’ve grown so connected to these characters and loved every second spent reading. I laughed, cried, hated and loved throughout these five books. I’m glad everything worked out for Skylar and Jason in the end and that everyone is happy. There are things I’m curious about and wish they weren’t left open ended but that’s just cause I’m invested in the whole story. So happy I started 2024 of with this series.
April 13, 2024
So sad it is over!!
As always this book had me up and down the entire time. I am so sad that it is over!! The amount of love shown is so beautiful and I am so happy that they get their happy ending. Obsessed with this series is an understatement and it will be a series I read over and over. From the first to the fifth it drew me in and sucked me into their world. I am a forever Estalyn fan and can’t wait for more!!

I’m going to try my hardest not to spoil anything. To me, this was the best book out of the whole series. It was an amazing read that I couldn’t put down. So much comes together and it’s truly satisfying. Full of twists and turns, unexpected moments, and tons of emotional turmoil. The writing definitely matured throughout the series. Highly recommended!
May 27, 2023
What an amazing ending to a book series that has taken my heart on such a journey. I am sad to see it end but looking forward to the next trip that’s hinted at. Sky and Jason mature into a great little family. The romance takes a little step up in this book as they both age and grow. New challenges come but as always with them love conquers all!

Forever Jason
This has been the best book yet. Even though Skylar still got on my nerves with her whining needy self, she finally grew on me in this book. She became a better person after Jason died and came back. Her telling Grandma off was the best too. I love that they had another kid that will give them a run for their money growing up. I will forever be team Jason.

This was an amazing ending to the series! I so happy that Kyle finally got what he deserved, but it was sad that Jason had to pay for it the way he did. While I feel like the final time jump was not necessary to properly conclude the book, I loved that we finally good to see Grandma Blackstone be told off, but I do wish she would have been told off by more than just Jason and Skylar.
