MY REVIEW

Sin Evernight is a man haunted by his past. When his mentor Augustus tells him that Layla will be coming back, Sin vows to keep her safe from creatures that mean her harm….and himself. If Layla finds out about his past, he is sure she will be horrified and leave. He will not let that happen, not matter how breathtaking she is.

Layla is a famous singer and thinks Sin is to guard her against fans. The real reason is far more dangerous and they will need all the help they can to win.

It’s time to concur your fears in this last installment of the Darkest London series.

I’m sad to see this series come to an end. I’ve only read the first two and Forevermore, but I loved it all the same. It mentions some things from previous books, so I suggest you read the others before this one and not be like me. I couldn’t give up the opportunity to read this book, though.

So, I loved every minute of this book. I only stopped reading because I needed sleep. Sin’s and Layla’s connection is so pure and sweet. I was hoping they’d end up together by the end of the book. There is a lot of mystery in the book and the book keeps you in suspense up until the end. Don’t expect any answers to your questions in the beginning. None of my guesses were right dealing with Layla. Sin’s past was something I was dying to know. What could do this to a man, that he pushes his entire family away? It’s heartbreaking. Sin is a powerful being but I don’t think we really got to see his full potential. He has all this power and he rarely had to use it. I also wanted to see more of Layla’s power. We get to see some of it but only to a certain extent. We also get to see a lot of familiar faces in this book. I think fans will enjoy seeing them all together for the last time. :)

Overall: It was a great book to end the series with. This series will always have a place in my heart and on my shelf. <3

4.5 STARS

 


EXCERPT:
 One might think being an immortal was a blessing, never grow old, never grow sick, never die. At one time in St. John Evernight’s life, he considered it a blessing too. He would be around long after the simple humans who surrounded him were nothing but dust. They could stare all they liked at his “strange” hair and frosty green eyes. They could gossip and speculate about him until they lost their voices. It didn’t matter. He was untouchable, and they were but fragile sacks of blood and bone.
How naive he’d been. Because living forever merely meant a lack of escape from the desolation of regret and loneliness. He knew now that he could walk down Jermyn Street endlessly, see the sands of time shift and rearrange before him, and never be a part of life.
“Brooding, Mr. Evernight?”
Sin almost jumped at the sudden sound of Augustus’s voice by his side. Damn, the blasted man loved to startle him. He gave Augustus a passing glance. Dressed in conservative brown tweed and a bowler hat, the angel appeared every inch the English gentlemen, save for his dark coloring that marked him to be from Southern climes.
“It’s really quite the trick, popping up like a soap bubble whenever you choose, Augustus. You must teach me how one day.”
The man’s mouth twitched. “With your luck, you’d pop up in the middle of a parliamentary session.”
Yes, Sin had abominable luck. Or perhaps it was more a matter of making abominable choices.
“You’re brooding again,” Augustus remarked.
“I’m not brooding. This is simply my face.”
Augustus snorted but remained silent as they walked along, past Trafalgar Square and down Whitehall. 
“Care to tell me why you called me here?” Sin asked, when they came upon the grounds of Westminster. For the past year, Sin had been in Rome, soaking in the warmer temperatures, drinking espresso in cafes along the Piazza della Rotunda, under the shade of the ancient Pantheon. He’d eaten simple but delicious food, and listened to the rapid fire of Italian, and felt…well, not peace, but a measure of contentment.
Until Augustus had sent for him. Returning to England sat like a stone in his gut. But he would obey. Augustus was his mentor, and the man who’d given him salvation. The price was a lifetime of servitude. To be fair, his role was for justice, not evil, which was a nice change of pace.
A massive dray rattled past, kicking up dust and sending a fug of stale manure into the air. They hurried past the cloud and headed for Westminster Abbey. Sin hadn’t planned on visiting today, but here they were all the same. He wondered if Augustus somehow had led him to their usual meeting place or if Sin had merely headed that way because of the man’s sudden arrival.
He’d like to think the latter. It did not sit well with him having another control his actions. Not since a certain evil fae had kept Sin as a blood slave for years. Even now, the memory made his stomach turn.
Not a soul acknowledged them as they walked through the abbey and into the cloisters. Here, a rare bit of sunlight peeked through the constant cloud cover and cast lacy shadows along the walkway. The sound of their boot heels clacked out a steady rhythm as they strolled along.
 “Layla returns to London tonight.”
At the mention of her name, Sin’s heart stilled within his breast. He’d tried his best to ward off all finer feelings, to remain numb, detached from life. And yet he could not, for the life of him, remain immune to Layla Starling. His childhood friend. The one woman who could take his breath, his reason, simply by laying eyes upon her.
Stuffing his shaking hands into his trouser pockets, Sin forced himself to keep an even tone. “So then I am to begin watching over her?”
God, but he did not want to. It would be agony, staying so close to her and never being allowed to show his true feelings. And yet a thrum of anticipation went through him at the mere prospect of seeing Layla once more.
 “Are you ready?” Augustus asked, though his expression told Sin he fully expected an affirmative answer.
So Sin told him the only truth left to him. “I will not fail her.”
