 This was such an anticipated read for me and it didn’t disappoint!!! 

This book is dark! Much darker in my opinion than books 1&2 and I urge you to check the trigger and content warnings having said that there is such growth in this book between Estrella & Caldris that even in the darkest moments their bond and relationship shines through! 

Book 3 jumps straight in with the action and “Mab’ oh how I hate thee Mab- she makes it very easy to hate her but in this book we get backstory and are shown first hand why we should hate Mab. She’s a superbly written villain! 

Estrella & Caldris have a rough ride in Lurks and I love how well Harper L Woods has done the mating bond and “fated mates” trope- we also see Estrella’s character develop hugely as she steps in to her power and learns more of what she’s capable of! I love the relationship that Estrella & Caldris have and we see shifts in the power dynamic as they move silently as one person at times. I had my doubts about Caldris in book one but his development has been fantastic. 

I whizzed through this book but did find some parts really slow however I also acknowledge that this is an epic world and adventure that’s being created and that I need to cool my jets because there’s so much more to come! 

The cliffhanger is almost painful but I have theories and I can’t wait for book 4 in October because I am way too invested in these characters now.
