“I love you, Callie, down to every feather and scale. I love your darkness, I love your mind, I love your humor and your most coveted dreams. And I love how you love me—wholly, deeply, passionately. “You’re not normal; you’ll never be normal. I’m so sorry to tell you that. You are so blindingly extraordinary that it physically hurts me sometimes, and I’ll never stop pushing you to believe this.”
I really loved the first half of this book! I love that we got more of Callie and des being happy and in love🫶 I won’t lie tho, this entire book had me anxious. Callie is constantly saying “we don’t get to have normal, we don’t get to be happy like this for long” like she’s always waiting for the other shoe to drop. It made me enjoy the happy parts of the book less, waiting for something to rip them apart or Callie to be kidnapped again.
I was a little disappointed in some of the twists we got in this book. There was so much foreshadowing thrown in our faces that by the time Callie (the world’s worst PI) figured it out I was like uhh yeah duh???
I hate to say it but I really liked the thief of souls, I was picturing him as Loki. I thought the ending was a little anticlimactic for something that had been building for 4 books to the Big Bad Villain™.
After reading the last book from des’ pov I was really missing it in this one. Callie’s inner monologue is still cringey to me! I know we didn’t get des’ pov bc it would’ve ruined the plot twist but I just loved reading through his eyes.
Overall, I really liked the series and can see myself rereading in the future! The audiobooks were all great too.

I found this book so captivating, I read the whole thing in a day. I'm unlikely to re-read the series, I think, but wholly recommend if you like the tropes (fae, fated mates, finding your own power, powerful heroine), like a bit of kink (esp in this book), and like to laugh (lots of pretty contemporary-sounding sass).
Didn't love the HP references (or the GoT ones...), but that is relatively minor. In general, I find that any mentions of companies/websites/books or series tends to age badly. Either you're binding a story to a specific decade, or you run the risk of a reference souring (like HP... and honestly, the GoT one as well, but S8 wasn't out yet when this was written...).
Lots of sex and violence, and I am here for a siren who gets turned on by being a bit sadistic. Good show for trying to make a character a little less likeable with her morally questionable deeds... still love them both, though.

My god, What-a-serieeees! Over all it was such a good time, I loved it so much, i think i would re-read it some time in the future.
This 3rd installment had a a lot more spicy scenes than usual, and in a way at some point I wanted them to change it up a bit for it to not be the same old thing, but nontheless it was still a VERY enjoyable read.
As a whole, I'd give this series 5⭐
