Out of the trilogy I probably enjoyed this book the most. If the second book was the Matthew-centered one, this one was Diana-centered. We finally got to see the one and only friend she apparently had before meeting Matthew, we meet the witch-community of her home-town and see her being an active part of the plot, while Matthew take a little bit of a back seat. 

The story of this one was the most interesting and overall strongest of all three. I loved that we got to see some characters again, I would’ve thought we would’ve left in Book 2 and how they brought interesting directions for the plot. 

I was surprise how graphically evil the villain of the book was, considering that both previous book were quite tame when it came to violence and even sexual scenes. 

Being honest, the relationship of Matthew and Diana was a bit of a let down. It was incredibly insta-lovey in Book 1 and since then they somehow went through the same relationship problems again and again. While they have some nice moments they have a general feeling of not being earned. A lot of the time these two feel like a couple that has been married for twenty years now, who can’t quite stand each other and have forgotten how partners should work together and can’t communicate properly. It was not overly distracting but it certainly was something I - again - took note of in the beginning of the book.
