These two make the best fictional power couple. Yes, I am bothered by the women’s to requirement to obey their husbands per vampire laws, but it’s clear there’s a lot of room for interpretation, at least with Diana and Matthew. Really excited to see what the fourth book will bring. Three weeks left to wait at the library.

Loved this conclusion to the All Souls Trilogy. Although there were a lot of talks about alchemy and genetics that I didn't always get, I couldn't put it down. The author's way of writing is captivating 'cause even what you don't understand you're interested in learning more aboutthe charactersand the world they live in. Wouldlove to see more of this world. This is one of my favorite Trilogies/ Sagas to date.
