I have very conflicted feelings about LUCK OF THE DEVIL so I'm just going to jump right into this review. I've enjoyed this series from the beginning and it's been fun seeing these demon brothers find their mates and fight against Lucifer. As a series finale I thought it did a pretty good job with the final battle and delivering a pretty satisfactory ending for everyone. But getting there was slow and a bit boring in some of the middle parts and I found myself losing interest a couple of times. The biggest reason why was because each chapter would go back a bit in the story and quickly rehash what had just happened, this time from a different character's POV. It wasn't a word-for-word recap or anything but it was enough to disrupt the story flow and slow down the pace.

Outside the overarching series plot was the initially tumultuous relationship between Dagon, Dimitri, and Lucky. I think I might have been the only reader of this series that didn't really care about Dagon and Dimitri prior to their book. What can I say, I don't really like enemies to lovers. When I found out Lucky would be both Dagon and Dimitri's fated mate I was really excited and maybe my anticipation for this book got too high to live up to.

If you're looking for some high heat MMM action then this book will deliver that in spades, but Dagon and Dimitri's POV chapters were not distinct at all and as characters, they were basically the same person and the majority of their personality was centered on making Lucky happy. I also think the emotional connection (outside of the fated mates attraction) could have been stronger if readers had the chance to see Lucky bonding with each guy individually. And I don't mean sex, I mean getting to know them as separate people rather than spending pretty much every second as a group.

Overall, I think this series started out strong but struggled a bit along the way. While this last book didn't quite deliver for me I am interested in reading more by Lark Taylor.

“I felt the same way when I saw him. Like he’s the final piece of myself that I’ve been searching for without even realising it. It doesn’t diminish the love I have for you. He hasn’t taken over a part of my heart you already own. It’s simply doubled in size to make room for him.”
