The ending is definitely what bumped this book up to a 4-star read.  While I enjoy a fantasy romance, I felt like the only real plot-moving action happened right at the end of this book.

However, this hit the spot exactly the way I needed it to all the moment.  It’s not the greatest writing in the world, but it was definitely enjoyable.

I liked the used of flashbacks to get a deeper glimpse into Des and Callie’s relationship.  Her teenage crush on Dee was cute, but I was thankful he waiting until she was of age before acting on his feelings.

I’m hoping for more of a plot in the second book as we really see the Thief of Souls coming into play.  I feel like there’s a lot to do with this storyline that I would like to play out.
