Summary
The spellbinding conclusion to the New York Times and IndieBound bestselling trilogy Serpent & Dove. This stunning fantasy take on French witches and forbidden love is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas.
Evil always seeks a foothold. We must not give it one.
After a heartbreaking loss, Lou, Reid, Beau, and Coco are bent on vengeance more than ever before—and none more so than Lou.
But this is no longer the Lou they thought they knew. No longer the Lou that captured a chasseur’s heart. A darkness has settled over her, and this time it will take more than love to drive it out.

Review
The first half of this book was a slog to get through, don’t get me wrong it was an improvement from Blood & Honey but it still dragged. I wasn’t a huge fan of what happened to Lou in the beginning, I found it a little boring. I still didn’t warm to Reid in this book either, the guy gave me serious Chaol (from TOG) vibes.
The second half of this book where the story really got good for me. The action picked up significantly and it’s what kept me reading on. I feel like the conclusion was done well and I liked the way it ended.
I honestly only read this series because I wanted to read The Scarlet Veil and I needed the back story. I think Serpent and Dove was the strongest book of the series though.
My Rating: 4/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟
About the Author‘s
Shelby Mahurin grew up on a small farm in rural Indiana, where sticks became wands and cows became dragons. Her rampant imagination didn’t fade with age, so she continues to play make-believe every day—with words now instead of cows. When not writing, Shelby watches the Office and obsesses over her Twitter feed. She still lives near that childhood farm with her very tall husband, semi-feral toddlers, two dogs, and one cat.
Shelby’s favorite books include A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas, Uprooted by Naomi Novik, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, and, of course, Harry Potter.
