Pretty quick paced and can be confusing at first trying to understand the level of power for the supernatural beings in this. But the storyline was captivating, smut was deliciously good without being too much, character banter was great. A good read, a fun adventure, and I'll be continuing this series.

«Convince me to stay. Tell me your deepest, darkest desire». 

The first book in The Souls trilogy had me on edge. Greatly written characters, it also definitely had the spice. I say it is medium paced as it takes a little while for the plot to really unfold, even though relationship wise goes a little quicker. I fell in love with Leon (MMC) and also found a new love for books written in dual POV. The plot was good, the character development was good. Overall good book. Good read. Will definitely go back to it.

The book was awesome plot wise like it’s up there real close to Haunting Adeline (my fav book ever). This was filled with tension on a level that kept you wondering what the hell was going to happen next gahhh it was splendid. I felt like Inayas fiancé was mention so many times though. Like on an abridgment side of things it was just really unnecessary to the plot. I 110% could have cared less about Inaya like her whole character was based on watching a cat. Also I thought there would be another steamy scene at the very end. Needless to say I was found dissatisfied. Also I feel this would end a lot quicker if Leon knew how to operate a gun.

Seems I’m in the minority with this one, but I just felt there was something…lacking. 

Rae, my god. Talk about TSTL. And she was given SO MANY “quirky” traits which never ended up going anywhere. I enjoyed Leon to a degree, but again, more could have been done with his character. He was introduced as a bully character, but only for a whisper of time where it could have been fleshed out into a really exciting dark romance. Overall just meh.
