I enjoyed this one but wanted to like it more.
There were times I was a little bit confused as to what was happening and teh characters intentions but I expect a bit of that with this author and I evidently enjoy it as I read all their work.

I loved Nicodemus. I liked his blend of lack of feeling isolated to the confidence dealing with Bel. Bel gave him the opportunity to understand his power.

I liked Bel too but found his motivations at times really hard to understand and the signals he was putting out I struggled to understand.

Regardless of this I still enjoyed the story and the world created.… (more)

Its taken me a bit to get going this year as I just couldn't find the motivation to start reading, so to break the slump I took to a book that I was majorly excited about when I heard it was coming out last year. I've held off reading it to savour it. and it didn't disappoint.

Every one of these books I read and I think "this is my favourite couple" and if I had to choose I'd say Chester and Will are but Lucas and Robin I think will definitely fight for the top spot on the reread.

The communication issues worked in this one as Robin was so sick and needed to be able to hear and understand. While he was sick and so tired he didn't have the capacity to even imagine it, so he needs the healing to begin before anything could happen. It's a slow burn as we get to know the guys as they get to know each other again, with the help of a couple of ravens and meddling families both here and from the afterlife.

I enjoyed that the coven is being called out in this one. They definitely let Chester down, and it was nice to see someone actually see that, but they also let down all the Mc's in this series. They are as Robin points out, dependant on these powerful witches but at the same time leave them to their own devices regardless of how much pain they're in and are kind scared of them to a degree. It's good to see someone actually starting to call them on it.

Can't wait to reread this one and pick up the little bits and pieces I've missed on this read.… (more)
