This spicy, fantasy series was great! From Gods & demons, to cults and witchcraft, it had it all without being too over the top. It was a thrilling ride and had me flying through the pages, even though there were a few times it felt a bit predictable.
One thing Laroux did really well with this series is how each book sets up the other couples without giving too much away, and not making the crossover scenes feel redundant. It was as if they were part of a relay race, with the baton handoff of each pair's contribution creating moving pieces of the same timeline.
Of the three books, my favorite would probably be Soul of a Witch, as Everly was the most interesting FMC and I enjoyed the dynamic switch we see in her relationship with Callum. I found Rae, lead of Her Soul to Take, frustrating and a little flat compared to her counterpart, Leon, and thought it pretty inconsistent that she was a paranormal hunter but had a hard time believing in her own town’s lore. Juniper was our happy medium, our strong and vengeful heroine of Her Soul for Revenge with a much more colorful and confident personality, which opened her storyline up to delve more into the supernatural world Zane introduced her to.
