I was really excited to see where the story ends. The previous books set up a number of threads, and I thought the resolution was really well done. For a while, I thought it would go differently (but dont wanna spoil), and was pleasantly surprised about how a siren can kill a god . I wish Temper had a bigger role here (or maybe an additional story of her/Malaki?).
I found this book so captivating, I read the whole thing in a day. I'm unlikely to re-read the series, I think, but wholly recommend if you like the tropes (fae, fated mates, finding your own power, powerful heroine), like a bit of kink (esp in this book), and like to laugh (lots of pretty contemporary-sounding sass).
Didn't love the HP references (or the GoT ones...), but that is relatively minor. In general, I find that any mentions of companies/websites/books or series tends to age badly. Either you're binding a story to a specific decade, or you run the risk of a reference souring (like HP... and honestly, the GoT one as well, but S8 wasn't out yet when this was written...).
Lots of sex and violence, and I am here for a siren who gets turned on by being a bit sadistic. Good show for trying to make a character a little less likeable with her morally questionable deeds... still love them both, though.
