Just like with Elle Kennedy, who I reviewed last week, I love Kristen Callihan’s work in many different forms. But her Paranormal Romance books are how I was introduced to her and what I love the most from her. This is the last in her Darkest London series and while I’m sad to see them end, I’m also happy she didn’t draw them out forever as ending on a high note is key. And this is such a high note for these books!
I was worried to see how this would end since I love the series so much but luckily I didn’t need to. This book was a balance between St. John (Sin) Evernight and Layla Starling as well as Augustus and Lena. At first going between the two couples threw me off but then the chemistry between them made me love the book all the more for having both couples in it. Sin and Layla are the main couple and Sin’s pain made me root for him immediately. While he’s insisting he’s a bastard he’s pretty transparent and Layla works at seeing through his layers.
With both couples the relationships are pretty equal – there isn’t any severe upending of power. I always appreciate when there isn’t any submission/domination issues going on with relationships and all 4 characters in this book are so powerful in their own rights that power struggles aren’t even a factor.
This is such a great conclusion to the series!!

Yes, if you like PNR I highly recommend this series! It has such a lovely dark vibe to it with the setting in London. I love the cast of characters too. I’m always a fan of inter-connected series by family or friends and this one has both.

Oo that sounds good, I do like them on the darker side and when they are connected. I think it makes the world seem more well developed!
