I loved this newest book in this series. 💚 I also love the cover that makes me think of a #NightSky.

I‘m so happy DH continued the All Souls series! Matthew and Diana are back and this book revolves around Diana‘s higher power, her father‘s family (the Proctor‘s) and where the twins stand with their powers. I loved all the new Proctor characters, the ghosts, the Salem stories etc! This book made a blah week so much better! *I had to use my Bodleian Library bookmark for this one 😀

Texreader Im looking forward to this and was so happy too that she‘s continuing the story 2mo

I was excited for this book, but it took me a bit to get back into the world & understand what was going on. A sequel to Discovery of Witches‘ series, this is about the Proctor side of Diana‘s family. She ends up spending her summer break with her great-aunt & learning higher magic. Pip & Becca, the kids, are great, and I‘m happy that Matthew had a bigger part after the first 50-ish pages. There‘s obviously going to be a sequel—yay!

TrishB There‘s going to be another 5! Number 6 already written. I went to listen to the author this week. 2mo

Too much tea, too little You-know-who.

This fifth story in the series revolved around Diana and her abilities. I wasn't a fan of BOL (plot holes, too much built-up for too little climax), but book 5 was even worse (personality transplants, another case of exaggerated built-up with meh! resolution [if any at all], too little plot that was riddled with holes). I liked book 4 though.

Still waiting for You-know-who's book.

Mehso-so

Went to see the author talk about this earlier this week. Book 6 already written and being edited. Likely 10 in whole series.
This is not my favourite. Too domestic and tedious an and too detailed about stuff I wasn‘t interested in. I can‘t wait for the battles to heat up again! Plenty of reveals though and breadcrumbs for future books.

julesG Teensy tiny Gallowglass cameo. I get the feeling we are strung along since a lot of readers are waiting for his book to happen. 2mo

Holy balls you guys. This one was top notch. Perhaps the best of the series, though I do love book 2. Stayed up late the last several nights and for a moment to lose sleep you know it‘s worth it!

LeeRHarry The first is still my fave but I did enjoy this one. I really hope we don‘t have to wait forever for the next instalment. 🤞 3mo
TrishB @LeeRHarry went to see her talk on Tuesday, number 6 is already written and at editing stage. 2mo
BethM @TrishB yea! 2mo
LeeRHarry @TrishB 😱 well that‘s very exciting! Thanks for the update. 😊 2mo

I finally finished my first book of August. Yay me! But I checked my GR goal & it‘s abysmal☹️I loved this book, the 5th in her All Souls chronicles. It was far from perfect, but I loved that there was a lot more magic & witchy vibes than the previous books. I also liked that the twins are older with more storyline as well. Loved the Procters & Ravenswood, but I‘m still waiting on Gallowglass or Phillippe & Ysabeau‘s stories! #SeriesLove2024 👇

LeeRHarry Glad you enjoyed it. I‘m hanging for a Gallowglass book too! 3mo
BethM @Lizpixie @LeeRHarry yes to both of those! Im one chapter in to this and can‘t wait for some more treading time! 3mo

slategreyskies I don‘t know how I didn‘t know she‘d written this. I‘ll have to look for it. 🤍✨ 3mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3mo
Lauredhel My approach : if you're not on track for your GR goal, just edit it! 3mo
TheSpineView Great job! 3mo
lil1inblue @Lauredhel I set mine low, and then when I meet it, I add a couple more. Rinse and repeat. 😂 3mo
Lauredhel @lil1inblue yep, the strategy works in both directions :) 3mo
Lizpixie @LeeRHarry @BethM also a Hugh & Fernando or even Miriam & Bertrand. There‘s so many centuries of backstory for her to flesh out! 3mo
Lizpixie @Lauredhel @lil1inblue I‘ve only read 40 books so far! Two years ago I was reading that in 6 weeks, it‘s just depressing.😢 3mo
DieAReader 🥳Fantastic! 📚🤓The year is still young😉 3mo
lil1inblue @Lizpixie I feel ya! I had some health issues during the pandemic (surprisingly not covid-related), and they killed my concentration. I stopped tracking my reading altogether because it was so disheartening. But I got back on track sometime last year! I'm sure you will, too. 💖 3mo

I finished this two days ago, but really needed to think about how to review it. Definitely a pick; this series is a favorite. But this takes some interesting turns that just sit a bit uncomfortably for me. It‘s wonderful to read about the twins as they grow, and I love the Proctor family, with their quirky witches and ghosts. But Diana‘s embrace of “dark” magic is changing the dynamic of her relationship with Matthew, and there‘s a lot 👇

Lynnsoprano Left dangling at the end. It‘s clearly setting up a sequel, and I‘m very impatient. Harkness doesn‘t churn out books, and I suspect we‘ll have a long wait until the next one. 3mo
BethM I hope not. This book wasn‘t long enough to suffer years. 3mo

My personal copy wont arrive at my house until after release day but the library had it ready for me to cover today. Do you know how much will power it took for me not to just forget about work & instead hide in the basement all day reading this?
