4.75

In this installment, I loved Helene's storyline the most. Her character developed so much in comparison to the first book. Besides that, it just was the most interesting and suspenseful. 
Elias' storyline, however, I didn't like at all. I just couldn't find myself being invested in it.

The whole book I was waiting for them to figure out a way for Elias to not be the Soul Catcher. They didn't but I really freaking hope that they will in the next book. I'm not mentally prepared for anything else.

Therefore, I nocked 0.25 points off my rating.

Other than that, I again was a huge fan of Tahir's writing style and I loved that she took the conflict that's been building up a notch further. I can't wait to see how everything will be resolved in the next - and last - book.

WOW. okay this book took me Forever to read like more than a week?? which is crazy because this is my favorite book in the series so far. it was hard to read because all of these characters i love were failing over and over again but it was amazingly written. this book is where all of the little details throughout the series come together and there were so many oh moments for me. plus the addition of helenes pov throughout the entire story!! i was hesitant about that at first but it truly added so much. i love a good not so evil villain. and harper!!!!!!!!

okay harper and helene are so cute please girl just be with him also COOK????? i knew there was something going on with her but i did not see that coming. the next book better bring my bf elias back quickly i miss him also im glad the jinn are free i felt so bad for them
