This was the absolute perfect ending to one of my favorite series. From the first time we met Rose and Fionn, I wanted to know more about them and how they got to the situation  we find them in. 

Scythe & Sparrow starts before Rose's injury and lays out the story of Fionn and how he got to the tiny town in Nebraska. He ran from everything to try and heal his broken heart. But even a doctor as talented as he can't repair the damage. That's when Rose comes bursting into his life, and everything changes. 

This book was centered on healing and accepting that in all of us, there is a certain amount of darkness. The ability to love someone in their darkness. The past two books have been about serial killers. While there are absolutely murders in this book, it isn't the central focus. Rose and Fionn will heal their past and learn to embrace each other in the darkness. This was easily my favorite of three. Plus, the man has a primal kink. I was sold on that alone.
