Book Review: Soulbound by Bec McMaster book 3 of Dark Arts Series

Title: Soulbound
Author: Bec McMaster
Edition: Kindle Edition, published 2017
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Soulbound was a great end to the trilogy of the Dark Arts. 📚

An arranged marriage, one out of convenience for the groom's greedy and dark mother, and the bride's vengeful father. But what happens when the bride and groom are suddenly free from the control of their parents and have the opportunity to make their own decisions? Will love have the opportunity to grow in the unlikely of places? 

This is the story of Sebastian and Cleo. In the midst of a battle for the future of London, Cleo and Sebastian are suddenly able to make their own choices, they also need to work with the family they never realized they had to get back the world they love. Cleo can see the future, but she just doesn't understand how her and her new husband fit. Sebastian is either the bringer of all the destruction she see in her vision, or he is the savior of the destruction. Which will it be? Through many trials and tribulations Cleo and Sebastian overcome their individual fears of commitment, darkness, and love.

This is a story of the lightness and darkness within all of us. Whether lightness or darkness consumes you is entirely in the choices these two young people make. 

Will Sebastian kill his mother for revenge and go down the path of darkness, or will he choose the light?

Will Cleo give in to the darkness that is within her and contribute to London's Doom, or will she fight for what she loves?

You will just have to read it to find out.

McMaster did a wonderful job bringing the story lines from the first two books into this final book. Three brothers. Three relics. Three sacrifices. 

This is where one of those times where the sum equals more than the parts. Each book individually is tantalizing, sexy, adventurous, and action-packed, but when you put them all together, it is truly magical.

I am eager to read her upcoming trilogy that is on the back end of this one Dark Curse. I can't wait to see which characters are highlighted.

I give this book a 4/5 stars. It is great entertainment, toe curling romance, and a great plot. There was much less repetition in this book than the last, which earned it the extra star. This trilogy is great for anyone who enjoys steampunk, paranormal romance, magic, romance, and did I mention romance.
