Wraith really grew on me and Serena is a perfect partner for him.

J'attendais avec impatience ce tome sur Wraith, ce démon à moitié fou, effrayant sur les bords et torturé par un passé bien glauque, et je dois dire que je ne m'attendais pas à ce qu'il s'adoucisse aussi facilement et rapidement, du coup je ne peux pas m'empêcher d'être quand même un peu déçue, mais en même temps, l'auteur a choisi de ne pas lui faire une histoire telle qu'on était sans doute nombreuses à l'imaginer. Serena est une nana sacrément courageuse, elle est impulsive et fonce droit dans le tas, son côté aventurière m'a bien plu, je dois le reconnaître.
Leur couple est évidemment très sensuel, mais j'ai surtout aimé leur complémentarité dans l'aventure, ce goût du risque et cette excitation de la quête d'objets anciens.

Mais ceux que j'ai particulièrement aimé, une fois encore, ce sont Gem et Kynan, le couple le plus attachant de ces trois premiers tomes.


Globalement, j'ai aimé la première partie, avec cette ambiance d'aventures et de chasse au trésor, cette complicité sexy qui se tisse entre Wraith et Serena. En revanche, toute la seconde partie et le gros morceau final avec cette bataille épique m'a beaucoup moins emballée. Cette partie part dans beaucoup de directions, certaines révélations sont dignes d'un soap de fin d'après-midi, et une fois de plus je trouve "le méchant" trop caricatural, alors que globalement, les autres personnages sont plus nuancés.

Un bilan mitigé donc, mais je pense quand même continuer la série.

The way it took me forever to start this book, but once I started I was hooked. I'm a sucker for a morally grey man that turns into such a softie when they're in love. THIS WAS SO GOOD. I didn't know what to expect, but this was a good surprise. Wraith has made it to the imaginary list of book boyfriends I have.

I love this series. At first, I wasn't feeling the whole Wraith and Serena thing but the ending made me tear up. They're perfect for each other and I'm too excited to get my hands on Lore's HEA.

I honestly thought I would read until the end of this series. But I’m seeing a certain cliché pattern of events unfold in each book, and I’m not sure I want to continue.

Demon guy and human-ish girl meet.

Hate each other.

Fall in love through great sex.

Human-ish girl realizes the dude may die, and realizes she loves Demon dude.

Last two pages are where a full battle ensues...somehow.

Couple somehow survive random, boring battle with too much banter and not enough gore.

Happily ever after.

LIKE I KNOW IMPENDING DEATH VIA POISON OR CURSES MAKES A LOVE SOUND MORE EPIC BUT GOSH LARISSA KINDA OF OVERDID IT DIDN’T SHE??

Ok, this one is by far my favorite. Love Wraith's progression through the book. Really enjoyed the side story of Gem and Kynan and how that turned out. Overall awesome book. Well worth the time and money.

Why must these brothers all be so awesome? I so enjoyed watching Wraith develop and fall in love and want to settle down. It was also nice to see him evolve from selfish to more selfless. I can't wait to see what happens with the gang at UG next and I'm looking forward to learning more about Lore.
