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!

It was so good. Perfect wrap up for the series. Didn't love the ending trope but thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the book. Loved the character development and Everly

I'd just like to know how the hell Harlry Laroux managed to write a trilogy following each couples same objective, with all timelines running parallel to each other, yet every story managed to stay unique and not be same-y... What sorcery is this? 

Anyway, back to Soul of a Witch. In comparison to the previous two books in the trilogy, I don't feel like I connected with Everly and Callum in the same way that I did with previous pairings. I feel like SOMETHING lacked but I cannot, for the life of me, put my finger on what it was. 

I have seen people be negative about Callums choice of pet names etc. However, I think it was a superior choice because it really harks back to just how long he's been wandering the earth as a demon. So his dialogue often has the vibe of historical romance type dialogue and I ATE. THAT. UP. 

Spicy wise, it's definitely on par with the previous two books in that it was off the charts and I was as shook as always 🤣 

The connection between Everly and Callum sometimes felt a bit strained and I have to say I felt it more on his part. We felt his yearning, his pining, his absolute adoration and dedication to Everly. I didn't get the same from Everly's POV. This may have been an intentional choice, however, as Callum has basically been looking for Everly for thousands of years whereas Callum is fairly new to her. 

I loved that we got to the point where Everly has that moment in the past where she asks him for help that we saw at the beginning when Callum sees her for the first time. It felt... I can't explain it. Like I loved seeing that interaction from both perspectives even though they were at the beginning and the end. It felt full circle. 

Anyway. If you love dark romance with a touch of horror (which I typically don't so I have no idea why I'm obsessed with this series 🤣), this trilogy is a must read.
