Lady Helen and Lord Carlston are bound in their powerful abilities and are now considered the Grand Reclaimer.  They are searching for the Grand Deceiver, an evil power that is trying to open an evil portal on earth. As Helen and Carlston try to work together, they are distracted by their attraction towards each other and Helen’s upcoming marriage to the Duke of Selbern. Also, the evil surrounding the Grand Deceiver is attacking Helen and Carlston’s closest friends and time is running out for them to identify the Grand Reclaimer.  

I loved this final book in the Dark Days trilogy.  There are great twists and turns and the chemistry between Helen and Carlston is fun. Like the other books in the series, the characters are adults, so it doesn’t seem like a young adult series.  The content includes descriptive sexual references and gruesome deaths.
