4.6 AVERAGE


Holy fucking shit. Yea, that's how I'm starting this review because even after a nights sleep before writing this, that's still what's going through my head.

I am blown away by Nicola Claire, period. I'm thrilled to have been able to have access to the ARCs of this series because even waiting mere days for an actual release would be pure tortue. 

There are a multitude of series out there that I believe have been dragged out beyond what the story is really capable of and this being the 7th in this series it may make you wonder if this could be one of them. It's not.

The 7th book picked up not long after the 6th with Luce and Michel moving to London to be closer (but not too close) to the Inuctio for Michel to conduct his new role as Emissary. As Luce became familiar with London she also became more familiar with those that resided there. A new shifter community, a nosferatin community that she had to team up with and help train, and a new master of the city, were just the first few challenges that greeted Luce. On top of all of the new, Luce still had to battle the Fae, the Inuctio, and Avery her new and unwanted kindred. Of course she also had her emotional battles when it came to her and Michel.

So much happened in this book it was unreal. A monumentous amount of action, sex, love, anger, happiness... You name it and it was present at some point in this book and I found myself feeling it all just the same. 

I smiled when Luce and Michel had their loving moments and couldn't believe how much more I fell in love with those two. I didn't think that was even possible. They are in fact one of the most epic couples in my eyes and it is just written beautifully. 

Everything and everyone in this book and all the other books, are written wonderfully to the point that I'm glued to the pages at every moment always wanting and needing to know what's next. Never a dissapointment and filled with surprises. I can't imagine how I am going to calm myself until the next book.

The last chapters had my heart racing and my reading sped up as my mind was going frantic as to what was happening. I hated that it ended where it did but I absolutely loved it. It almost seems like maybe Michel and Luce have a few of their issues resolved but I know they will still have problems ahead. It's Luce, she's always on the brink of destruction and death ;). I can't wait to read the rest of their journey together and see how they deal with Michels new job and a few other things of course. I couldn't be happier at where this has led and where I think it's going to lead in the next book.

Love this series and it keeps getting crazier and crazier as it goes.

In the seventh book of the series, Lucinda is not doing too great. She's having a hard time dealing with living in London, not to mention Michel won't talk to her about things that involve the Champion, and then she can feel the Dark clinging to her. Not only does she have to worry about all of that, but there could be a chance she can get things back to how they use to be. But if she doesn't work together with her kindred, then more bad things might start to happen as well.

This book was really good! I loved how Lucinda and Michel were trying to adjust to their new lives, and make everything work. It was hard to watch them go through that, but in the end I think they did really well. I also really enjoyed getting to see Lucinda battle her Dark. I loved that! Now, I can not believe the story will end in the next book, but I'm extremely excited for it!
