Crescendo of the Sword by Niki Trento

5.0

The perfect ending to The Blade’s Opus trilogy! I swear it only got better as the trilogy progressed. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the Greek mythology tie-ins throughout the series, but with Niki’s unique twist – hairless-balls Hades might be a favorite of mine.

Styx has found 2 of her three fated mates – Kyon, her Cerebus shifter, and Molossus, her soul mate they retrieved from the Elysian Fields to help find the traitor. With them, Tod (her no-nonsense talking sword), and some new family members, she attempts to fulfill her role in the prophecy.

The scenes with the men were hot, but honestly, I was in love with the plot. The s3x was just the prize at the bottom of the cracker jack box. I needed to know who the traitor was, who the ultimate baddie was, and if Styx was ever going to be able to release Tod from the sword! There were some breathless moments while reading because the Fates sure had it in for Styx and her men.

This book was a pleasure to read, as was the whole series. I highly recommend it to those who enjoy reverse harem and are interested in mythology.
