how a siren can kill a godI found this book so captivating, I read the whole thing in a day. I'm unlikely to re-read the series, I think, but wholly recommend if you like the tropes (fae, fated mates, finding your own power, powerful heroine), like a bit of kink (esp in this book), and like to laugh (lots of pretty contemporary-sounding sass).
Didn't love the HP references (or the GoT ones...), but that is relatively minor. In general, I find that any mentions of companies/websites/books or series tends to age badly. Either you're binding a story to a specific decade, or you run the risk of a reference souring (like HP... and honestly, the GoT one as well, but S8 wasn't out yet when this was written...).
Lots of sex and violence, and I am here for a siren who gets turned on by being a bit sadistic. Good show for trying to make a character a little less likeable with her morally questionable deeds... still love them both, though.

My god, What-a-serieeees! Over all it was such a good time, I loved it so much, i think i would re-read it some time in the future.
This 3rd installment had a a lot more spicy scenes than usual, and in a way at some point I wanted them to change it up a bit for it to not be the same old thing, but nontheless it was still a VERY enjoyable read.
As a whole, I'd give this series 5⭐

This was a great read. I was glued to the pages and quite enjoyed it. I loved the suspense that was built up and the possibility of what the heck was going to happen. I loved finally figuring out who the villain was in the story but man oh man i did not expect it to go down the way that it did. I love the intertwining story line from book one to book three. There were so many little snippets of information that I did not realize were relevant to the end of the story! I loved the relationship between the Bargainer and Calli. Their bond is just so amazing and they just seem perfect for each other, even with their pasts. Also, the other relationship that started in book two and just gets even better in book three.. whooo!!!
I encourage those who don't mind a little smut with their fae to pick this book up!
