Get ready to revel in the feels, magic, and mystery in this smashing conclusion to a lovely and endlessly fascinating trilogy! From book 1, Sebastian and Wesley became some of my favorite characters, and each book has revealed even more wonderful facets of them and their relationship. In Viscounts & Villainy, Sebastian is struggling to adjust to a life without magic and relies on Wesley to help keep him safe and stable. Meanwhile Wesley is grappling with having tender feelings and emotions (the horror!) and how to show affection. As they race against the clock to uncover a conspiracy to destroy magic, Sebastian must enter Wesley's world of aristocrats, tailcoats, and balls to find the answers they seek. I loved every moment with these two! They have such a hardwon trust and mutual respect, and seeing them so happy and comfortable together gave me all the feels. I also enjoyed seeing the rest of the paranormal crew and getting lots of Rory and Arthur moments. The plot kept me guessing, right up to the end. All in all, this was a delightful journey from New York to England, from speakeasies to cozy ship cabins to lavish country estates. Highly recommend!

I received an eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
