Full disclosure, I found this book in the library and because I'm a completionist, had to go and borrow the previous three in the series first. It's no coincidence that I like this one more than the preceding ones - as I've learned along the way, each book feels quite different from the others.

I really liked the way the brothers are set up (yes, including over the course of the books I didn't enjoy as much) so that we have Horst, a 'good guy' trying to resist his monstrous, vampiric side, next to Johannes, a 'bad guy' very begrudgingly gaining a conscience. The plot and tone here are also very satisfying - I had the feeling like something was always missing before, and now it's all come together to make a lovely read.

I'm so glad Horst is back. I love his and Johannes' interactions.

Another excellent entry in the Johannes Cabal series - can't believe the next book isn't out until 2016!

Okay, straight up, I love these books to pieces. I have just forgotten a lot, so following the plotlines was kind of hard? So I think before the next book comes out, I shall have to read them all again. This is probably the best kind of problem to have.

Another great entry in the Cabal series. This one focused mostly on Johannes' brother. Can't wait to read the next one!

Well this was as fun as I anticipated, if not moreso. Absolutely love having Horst back (and with his own story sans Johannes and angst and aahhh) and seeing him and Johannes interacting was just incredible. I feel like they have one of the best and most believable sibling dynamics of nearly anything I have read. Also damn the amount of plot that happened in this was wild. Excited to see how things end in the final book!
