Yet another fun installment in the series. This book takes place nearly 50 years after Cin was turned, and the first few chapters made me cry.

It was great to see both Cin and Michael come to terms with Cin's magic. I only hope that Devlin and Juliana can do the same - they are Cin's family, and she needs them.

I think my only real criticism of this book was that we didn't get much of Devlin and Juliana. *pout*

Can't wait to see more of Morrigan's plan play out. When does book 4 come out?! *stamps foot irritably*

I don't know why for the third book in Cin Craven series ,not make me want to give it 5 stars, but still its good. The synopsis sounds great, and I expect this book will better from the second, but I must admit, I'm a little disappointed.

With Civil War in America, between North and South side, Cin must help her cousin, when she abducted. Cin travel to America from English with her husband Michael, and find that her cousin, Claire, have something, an urn that can make the war in America getting worse. The urn Claire keep is urn that contain Ares, the War God from Greek Mythology. If Ares released, the man who abduct Claire, will get him to make his side as a winner in Civil War, but there are things that not expected, because Ares falling in love with Claire, so it make Claire in dangerous too.

In the other side, Cin must struggle with her dark magic, Michael afraid that she will succumb forever to the darkness. Cin become sad, because Michael still not believe her, even though they already become husband and wife. Then, Cin got a help from Pandora, Claire's abductor's daughter. Pandora said that Cin must accept who she truly was, why she has a dark magic. The question is, is Cin ready to released her dark magic?

The story still great like two books before, but the conflict sometimes feel flat for me. The ending make me wonder , is there a continue in this series? If the answer is yes, I can't wait to read the fourth book, and what adventure that Cin and Michael will face next...

Cin gets summoned home to Ravenworth. Her cousin has been kidnapped by a Georgian plantation owner. Cin and Michael must go to Devil's Island to try and get her back. Only problem is that there is a user of dark magic on the island, and it calls to Cin's magic, making it hard to control.

I absolutely adore this series! I love that Cin has ties to the human world that keep her and the Righteous grounded. They are all great characters, strong, loyal, and easy to love. This book is feeled with action, romance, adventure, and mystery. With vampires, witches, gods, and ghosts, this book is a thrill ride a minute!!

I adore this series and can't wait for the next installment to see what Cin will get herself into next!! 5stars!

I loved the third book in this series as much as the other two. This is definitely in the top 3 best vampire series' I've ever read. My only complaint is that there are no more books starring Cin for me to look forward to.

The author of this series did a perfect job of balancing a continuing series that expands and develops the characters and the world-building with creating a new and unique plot for each of the three books. There was just enough of both to make each book a terrific new read that also had new things to learn about the characters you love.

The one thing missing in this last book was that Devlin and Justine were only in the book briefly at the beginning and the end. They were fun, interesting characters that I liked almost as much as Cin and Michael so it was too bad they didn't star in this book, although it really wouldn't have made sense given the story.

I loved that there were some new characters to get to know in this book, and all of them were wonderful! Varied and unique, each with their own story and dramas for the reader to learn about.

The Civil War is a period I enjoy reading about, so that was just a bonus that this book was set in that period and some of that was worked into the plot, even if it was minimal.

Truly, I loved absolutely everything about this entire series and hugely enjoyed reading all three of the books. I am very sad that series isn't continuing, but I am so glad I found it, and got to read the three books there are in Cin's world. Highly recommended if vampires are your thing, especially if you love strong female characters!!
