This was my first book after a long time! I was enthralled by the dark paranormal romance. It definitely got me into finishing the other Soul Trilogy books. Though, there's some parts that felt rushed in the conclusion. The plot had lot of potential and could been taken in different routes.
For example, I think Everly's pregnancy was somewhat poorly-timed, especially she just came into her own person and powers. I wish that the ending would be something like the revival of the coven home and her making positive connections with other witches. Also, I did NOT like how poor Everly was pushed into this "selling my soul to the devil" contract", after escaping a dangerous, domestic violence situation. That always felt off to me. That soul offering whole thing could have been reserved for another scenario, like marrying Callum and becoming a princess of Hell.

I love this series with my whole heart, but this was definitely the book I had the hardest time connecting with. I really love the way each novel has a through plot running concurrently (so you’re always piecing together how things intersect to the larger plot), but each very much has its own story in a story with new characters and new motivations. Callum has been my favorite since he was first introduced, but Everly was always more of an enigma to me and I had a really hard time connecting with her. Their pairing is sweet and I loved the change in power dynamics as they both explore and grow through their traumas. 

When the plot was going, it was full steam ahead. But there were just large sections of this book I found myself skimming over because they felt repetitive. Training, conversations rehashed many times. This book is much more of an emotional book to me than the previous, so the plot almost takes a back seat. 

Overall I still give this series a full 4.5 stars, and the ending of this is a wonderful close to the series. I just didn’t get sucked into this one like I did with the previous books!
