18 books in and this series is as strong as ever. It’s astonishing really that after so long the stories and the characters just keep getting better and better. Sebastian is one of the most interesting characters I have ever read and he and Hero are top tier when it comes to my favorite book couples ever. The stories are so rich with history and intrigue, with a supporting cast that I find fascinating. I especially can’t wait to get more from Alexi and Paul, Sebastian’s best friend. I’ve always enjoyed Paul in the series and I’m incredibly interested to see what his future holds, hopefully some pain free happiness!

I’ve read a lot of series in my life and not a lot of them can do what this one is doing: maintaining the same level of engaging storytelling that has been present since book one, and in fact, it’s only gotten better as the series has progressed with Sebastian’s various relationships all becoming richer and far more complex with time. And I think we can all agree that Jarvis needs to get what’s coming to him, but dang do I love to hate him.

I don’t often write reviews anymore, but this series, and this book, deserve all the praise. It continues to be a series that I highly recommend.
