If I had my pick, I'd choose Callum - soul of a warrior poet, body of a literal fallen angel. Treating his Lady Witch like she deserves. Setting unrealistic relationship goals with abandon.  😂

I think this was my fave of the series. You can really see Laroux's growth over the span of the different books. 

I especially enjoyed the ending too cuz I'm a slut for a HEA. But don't worry! There's plenty of spice, kink, and god-killing before that!

A bit slow in the middle, but this book was the perfect ending to the trilogy. I really liked how relatable Callum was regarding his understanding to the process of grief and how it’s not always linear. Overall, really loved this trilogy

This book was the best in the series for me. We follow the same timeline, but it emphasizes more on the magical elements and creatures. We get to see the hell the demons keep talking about. The male main character is so caring and protective, just when you thought it wasn’t possible. The personal growth we see is also very wholesome. This book gave me all the feels.
