 lol I'm so devastated. I've been eagerly awaiting this book's release for ages and was fully prepared to adore every last page, but the majority of the story so far has been:

1) a completely unnecessary recap of books 1 & 2

2) Everly being a one-dimensional character with very annoying inner monologues and a horrible case of Mary Sue-ness (which I do almost never accuse a character of, but every single person she interacts with just goes on and on about how she's the most powerful witch they've ever met, etc.)

Seriously, though, the only redeeming thing about this book is Callum's character, and even he hasn't properly drawn me in. I'm dragging through the story and I no longer care enough about the overarching plot to trudge through it.

✨ Representation: queer (bi/pan) main characters

If you love The Vampire Diaries, Twilight, and Beautiful Creatures, the setting is for you, and the smut will not disappoint.
I could not put this book down and I am still thinking about it now.
Harley seems to time their releases just right, because Soul of a Witch is perfect for the rainy-spooky season we have coming up. I promise you, you’re going to want to cozy up with a warm drink and binge this book (and its prequels, if you haven’t read those).
It has been a joy to watch Harley grow with their characters in this book, and they continue to set incredibly high standards for fictional men and/or love interests.
This is the book of the season, you’re not going to want to miss it.

I loved to see the different story pieces finally slide together. Even after having read the same story three times through different POVs, Soul of a Witch still manages to add so many unique things to the story, be it through the characters or the world building. 
Harley manages to lure the reader in through the setting, and then introduces a big scary wolf of a demon with a heart of gold. Callum could be described as a golden retriever boyfriend, and he lives up to his honorary title of “Daddy Callum” alright. 
I loved seeing Everly step into her power — And she really is powerful. I think she will serve as an important character for many people to relate to in different ways, because she will teach readers that abusive situations must not last forever, and that we all have the power to create our own destiny and be the makers of our own happiness.
