Must read 🏆

The third book in the All Souls Trilogy is by far the most entertaining—full of humor and intrigue. The action and romance is non-stop.

Matthew and Diana, who is now pregnant with twins, time-walk back to present-day Step-Tours where tragedy awaits. But that's just the beginning. As the search for the Book of Life and a cure of the vampire's blood rage ramps up, a brilliant scientist named Chris Roberts, an old friend and colleague of Diana's, turns up and offers his help. Chris's lab is full of scientific advancements. I almost felt like I needed to take a molecular biology class to keep up. Then, when Matthew leaves on a quest to form a new scion, the loyal Gallowglass is left to protect Diana. I love Gallowglass. He's such a hunk—he can carry my books anytime. And it's so cute how he calls Diana Auntie, even though he's hopelessly in love with her. The action is non-stop as the babies are born, the Congregation is dealt with, and the monster, Benjamin Fox, if finally subdued. In the end, the discovery that all creatures are a mix—some even part human—is something that relates to modern times where, even now, tensions over racial inequality runs high.

I was sorry to read the last page but will take away many things from the All Souls Trilogy. Amount them, a higher respect for ancient history, old books and manuscripts, and the study of science. But since the books are primarily an epic love story between the vampire, Matthew de Clermont, and the witch, Diana Bishop, I will also consider the notion that love—no matter how dangerous and difficult to obtain—is always worth the struggle.
