Summary:
Goodreads.com
Miss Layla Starling, the young, beautiful, and extremely
wealthy heiress, is the talk of London. Until now, she's managed to evade the
marriage noose. Despite the fact that she is unfortunately American, she's
received a staggering number of offers. And turned down every one. St. John
Evernight does not want to admit the relief he feels every time he hears that
she has rejected one of her suitors. Which is unfair of him. Layla deserves to
be happy. But he can not offer her happiness. He will never be normal, never be
anything but a freak in her world. So St. John resolves to keep his distance,
until he is recruited by the Society for the Suppression of Supernaturals to
guard Layla. For she is in grave danger, and he is about to learn the full
extent of his powers.
Review:
I am sad this is the last book in this wonderful series, it’s
been one of my favorites since I first took a change on Firelight all those
years ago. Callihan is a master of her craft;
she weaves wonderful tales blending the supernatural with the historical. I’d say she is at the top of her genre and I
hope that while this series is done she continues with another historical
paranormal series.
My heart broke a little bit for Sin.. pobrecito. I really
enjoyed his character would have liked to see more of his powers. I dont feel
like we really got to see him go full out with them. But he was so cute with
Layla and protective. I really love how they fell in love as teenagers and it
withstood the test of time and life.
Layla was pretty awesome. She was fierce and she knew what
she wanted (Sin) and she was not taking no for an answer. She knew he was for
her and she went about getting him. i loved when she dragged Sin out to get
some practical experience showed she was not willing to be a victim or let a
man protect her when she could do it herself. In the end she was kicking some
serious ass and I was quite proud of her.
We caught up a bit with past characters and got to see them
end in a good place which is always nice since this is the last book in this
series and I dont think there are any plans for a spin off. I'll be sad to
leave this world but I know the characters are in a good place... =)
