** spoiler alert ** 
 I was thrilled when I received this ARC. So my review will be based on the ARC. Some things might change before publishing. I thought this was a great conclusion to the series. Smith did an excellent job of interweaving the first 2 novels characters together. I didn't realize how well this would work until I was reading the product. I enjoyed the novel and thought it was a fairly quick read. It is slightly bigger than the first 2. I had some problems believing some of the magic aspects. There were parts that I really had to pay attention to see how Smith would wrap things up. I do wish I had gotten some updates on Miranda. So I am left with the question of Miranda and Zachary relationship. I did really like the fact that this entire series had Bram Stoker written all over it. I recommend reading Dracula if you haven't before starting this series. You'll be glad you did. There are parts in the book where it goes into Dracula but only a skimmed version. If you don't want to be confused, I would read it. I think you can still understand the jist of the story but it'll be more concrete in your mind. I give this a 4. The cover is gorgeous.
