Review
In book three in the Darkest London series, Poppy Ellis
Lane has a special elemental gift—she can create and control ice. As the leader
of SOS, a secret organization dedicated to keeping humans in the dark about
supernatural creatures, she’s currently hunting down a powerful demon that’s
recently escaped from hell. The demon is targeting her estranged husband, and
Poppy is determined to save her man’s life.
After surviving a brutal werewolf attack, Winston Lane
discovered his beloved wife’s secrets and left her. Months later, he’s
struggling to get his life back together when a mysterious man approaches him,
claiming Win had made a deal with him years earlier. Though Win doesn’t
remember making the deal, he knows it’s the truth. Now, Win’s unborn child is
in danger, and he has no other choice but to reconcile with his wife in order
to defeat the demon.
Wow! I love this story and even teared up a few times.
When reading the previous two books, I always looked forward to scenes with
Poppy and Winston, and their own love story definitely didn’t disappoint.
Normally, I don’t like flashback scenes, but I loved reading about how Poppy
and Win first met and fell in love. With their secrets finally revealed, they
fell even deeper into love, which strengthened their relationship. They’re so
much alike that they’re often at odds with one another. Poppy has been lying to
Win and her sisters for years, and it’s been tearing her apart. Winston is
definitely a strong, capable man, especially for understanding and forgiving
Poppy for humiliating and emasculating him.
As for the secondary characters, Jack Talent and Mary
Chase play a much larger role in this story than in the previous
one—understandably, since their story is next, which I’m dying to read. The trauma
Jack experienced was heartbreaking, and all I wanted to do was hug him.
The SOS and the universe in which the characters live are
evolving, and more characters are being introduced. I’m enjoying the world
building and want to learn more. This story, so far, is my favorite in the
series.
