3.5 stars, closer to 4.

Reagan, a “contracted grave robber”, has been told all her life that she is a guardian. She houses half a soul to one so evil that the main purpose to her life is to hold a ward and then pass it on to her child by the age of 25. She simply said no, that won’t be my life, and took it into her own hands. Or at least she tried.

Caius, the Soulless One, has been living thousands of years without half of himself. He has always intended on getting that part of him back at any cost but when he finds himself faced with the Guardian, and she happens to be his mate, he throws all his plans out the window.

For him, it is that simple. For her, it’s the opposite. She was raised on certain beliefs that when she’s faced with different truths she is in denial. Caius has now made it his mission to make her believe and has gotten her to agree to 6 months in Tartarus.

What they don’t count on are outside forces wanting to ruin anything they may be able to build.

This world has already been built, with the other 2 sets of series, so this one doesn’t have much work to do. I feel like the relationship between Reagan and Caius is superficial, there should have been more on page wooing. I also feel like it could have used more work on Reagan and Eres’s relationship instead of her denying and refusing anything to do with that part of herself. Overall this was an easy read and as usual, for me, I loved the secondary characters.
