I am absolutely obsessed with this series! Every book, every new MMC has me falling in love a little more and I just knew that Sythe would steal my heart. I am a sucker for a paranormal romance, I love shifters and magic and the urban vibes this series gives and everything about it is just perfect.
Taylor is an amazing author, I never find any fault with her writing or they way she builds a story. The plot is so well done, it's always fresh and interesting and never what I expect - and I think that's really hard to do in a world that centres around the same circle of people with a common enemy.
Her FMCs are always badass and there's nothing I love more than a stubborn, smart-mouthed character. And I loved Harper. As always, the side characters play such good roles in each book, their interactions are funny and witty and set up perfectly for their own books!
I loved Sythe and Harper's story, I love every aspect of the mating bond in these books and to experience the different ways each of her characters find theirs is wonderful. I loved Harper's career too, locating and collecting rare pieces is such a cool thing to do, it's edgy and a little dangerous and totally unique.
I am so glad that I joined Taylor's ARC team months ago, I don't know where I would be without this series ingrained in my heart. I can't wait for what's next and I'm still crossing my fingers that Lucifer gets his own book because I'm kind of in love with that demon!
