The last act in the All Souls Trilogy does not disappoint. A satisfying conclusion it delivers on promises made and covers the gamut of adventure, mystery, love and more in spades. “It begins with absence and desire. It begins with blood…

A good wind up of the series. It took about a third of the book before it got more compelling. After they returned to New Haven and into the lab. There are a vast cast of characters it might have been helpful to have them identified…

I enjoyed the entire series. However, I would have liked this final book to give some kind of perspective of how Matthew and Diana's future will play out. Will he die when her human life ends as he once said? Will she become a vampire and…

BOTTOM-LINE:
An action-packed but not completely satisfying ending
.
PLOT OR PREMISE:
After falling in love (book 1), and hiding in the past (book 2), Diana and Matthew return to the present to start a family and figure out what is in…
Often I have found the final book in a series to lose the finesse and strategy of the previous instalments. Everything takes place solely to achieve the final scene, and the pace, character, the appeal of the story is lost, either within…

This is definitely the best of the three. As it should be. I love how everything finally comes together. I sort of hate that they had children because it is sort of cliche and Twilight-esque. But the story and the layers of intrigue..…

A fitting conclusion to an enjoyable series. Would like to see more done in this universe. Can't wait to see this series made into movies.

It was alright. The trilogy would make for an interesting show with all the different characters. The part of the story which I felt was very Hollywood is that the adults had a lot of adult time and no mention of kids!

The testosterone in this book is ridiculous. It's like a parody but the author is serious. Populated with a host of rather irritating and ornery characters, from the protagonist's guardian (who is a know it all who is always putting her…

I tried to read the last in this series but it just continued to the confusing stupidity of the second book. I stopped after a couple chapters and figured I would spend my time reading something I actually cared about hearing how it might…
Disappointing. First two books were excellent in this trilogy. This last book, while well researched, moved ponderously and worst of all lacked any character development of arch villain, Benjamin. There is no examination of the…

The first book in the All Souls Trilogy was the best, each book in the series got progressively worse. It is a great story and excellent writing, however the novel was bloated. It annoys me when books (or movies) are longer than…

Skip it..don't waist your time. the first two books where excellent but this one was so bad I'd swear it was written by a different author.

I read the first book "A Discovery of Witches, and it was fine. But I would have recommended it only to fans of this genre, however. Jumping to the third book in this series, was a definaite mistake because there are so many characters…

Given the build up from books 1-2("A Discovery of Witches" and "Shadow of Night"), I was expecting a more fiery and explosive ending with Diana and Matthew and company against their enemies and the Congregation. But, still a good end to…

First book was my favourite of the three. There's not much human left to Diana in this book which is what I enjoyed about the previous books. Resolution was very fast and a bit too easy. Really enjoyed the author's magical theories but…
