This was definitely an improvement from the first book! Overall, this series ended in the middle for me. 

Fallon has been captured underground by Dante Regio after he learns of her importance and heritage of half Shabbin/half Crow. Dante plans to marry her and control her powers, while Fallon fights to get back to her mate and help him take back control of Luce, with her at his side. 

I think the plot and pacing was well done and the first 25%-30% of this book was interesting and a page turner for that reason. After that, it was a lot of fluff and it wrapped up easily and quickly. The family relations became INSANE, like all these twists that didn't make sense and seriously made Dante somehow a relation to Fallon, Fallon being related to Justus and random siblings and aunts being thrown in. I did appreciate that we spent much more time with Justus as a character and his relationship to Fallon, which I feel we lacked with her own father, Cathal. 

The author seemed to have so many ideas on twists and different magic systems, but a lot of this felt just added into the third book without any forethought and hinting in earlier books. Additionally, the way that Fallon and Lore spoke in their thoughts felt so unrealistic. Fallon would be describing the setting or about how "Lore barked about this..." and he would respond with "I don't bark." In my thoughts, I don't actually spell out "This person said this" word for word so that pulled me out of the story often. 

The romance was meh. The majority of their romance is just spice and the plot becomes about little things rather than the overall war with Luce. By the end, it is wrapped up mostly neatly, with some things left with the spin-off that comes out next year.
