Heat of the Everflame by Penn Cole
5.0

Heat was an another masterpiece of the author. The way Glow ended, I didn't know what to expect in Heat but this was the plot I never saw anything coming!! From the very first page to the final moments, it was filled with heart-wrenching and astonishing scenes. I'm at a loss for where to even begin, but let me assure you, this series is the ultimate dark fantasy romance to binge. Once you start reading, there's no way you can put it down. It engulfs you completely!

Now, the story itself was exquisitely detailed, painting a vivid picture of the world the author envisioned. Our heroine, Diem, knew no rest or peace due to the secrets and mysteries surrounding her identity, her father, and the powers she possessed. Diem held within her a kind of power that could either save or doom all realms. Her patience was put to the test as she found herself caught in a constant struggle between mortals and immortals.

In a race against time, Diem embarked on a journey through every realm, pleading with their rulers to join forces and halt the impending war. She did everything within her power to prevent the clash between mortals and those descended from darkness before they were consumed by the looming darkness on the horizon.

Luther. Luther. Luther. This man could ask me of anything and I would lay it at his feet. Where could I encounter another male like him? He embodies every quality one could desire in a fictional romantic partner. I was aware of his ability to captivate as a lover, but witnessing his love for Diem was both heartwarming and exhilarating. I need more of him again and he is truly irreplaceable!

The story consisted of three parts, with each subsequent ending being more distressing than the last. Upon completing part three, I was left in a state of shock and disbelief. I refuse to accept such an outrageous conclusion. It was unfucking believable and it left me emotionally drained.

However, I am grateful to Penn because "Burn of the Everflame" serves as the final installment in the series. This means that there will be no more hidden secrets or mysteries, although there will undoubtedly be moments of heartbreak before reaching the desired happily-ever-after.
