I Loved the first three books in the trilogy and very much enjoyed the revisiting the characters however, the editing was off on this book. And unfortunately, it repeatedly took me out of the magic of this story.

A good comfort read. If you have not read the All Souls trilogy, do not start here. Times Convert is a welcome look into the life of Marcus, Matthew’s son and the journey to becoming a vampire, in this universe’s version anyway.
