Best of the three books. I did feel as if this whole series could have been fleshed out a bit more but I still enjoyed reading it.

I love these books. Like a gritty Mayfair Witches featuring the darker side of New Orleans magic. Filled with tons of backstabbing family drama. With talking cats, witches that turn into birds, a burning man celebration that turns out not exactly as planned, kidnapping, cults, demons, invisible men, a magical head, a ghost nanny, lots of murder, the dark history of New Orleans and so much more. Did I mention that I love these books.

I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley.
I hadn't read the first or second installment of the series and found myself wading through the story to figure out what was going on.
A rollicking tale filled with witches and magic. I'm going to attempt to get the first two books so I can have a full picture!
I recommend this book to lovers of magic everywhere.

Oooh. So much darker in New Orleans than Savannah. Almost felt like it TRIED too hard to be as dark as possible.

This book is a fairly satisfying conclusion to the series. It does a good job of managing to tie up the loose ends that have been carrying on throughout the books. I (rather questionably) decided to marathon the first two books in the series in February and ended up deciding to wait to read this one until March. It gave me a bit of the separation I needed in order to prepare for this finale. I've said it before but I really enjoy how the author weaves voodoo with this fictional magic he's created. The characters have such distinctive personalities where it would be easy to fall into the trap of "everyone is the same person just with a different name". I must admit the epilogue had me tearing up a bit while trying to hug my cat.
There is supposed to be this conflict throughout the books between three of our "main" characters that comes to a climax. However, there was never any doubt in my mind that it would turn out the way it did. More characters die than I expected (but after the first book I probably should have!). Six characters is also a lot to follow for such a relatively short book, so we don't get to spend a lot of time with any of them. And because of it, Nathalie doesn't seem to have any purpose in this novel nor the Boudreaus, who are built up to be almost this witch police body but are really lacking.

This entire series is badly written Sabrina/Vampire diaries fanfiction. Do yourself a favour and read anything else.
