St. John "Sin" Evernight is on the outs with his family,
and is now living a lonely life, dedicated to becoming
Final Judgment, replacing Augustus, who will be moving on
to another plane of existence. What Sin's family
doesn't
know is that Sin was a blood slave to an evil entity
named Mab, who forced him to perform the awful things he
did, as well as being her sexual boy-toy. Now that Mab
has finally been destroyed, Sin vows to lead a chaste
life, and to focus on performing his duties.
Augustus has a ward, Layla Starling, the child of his
long time star-crossed love, Lena. She and Sin were best
friends as children and teens, until Augustus whisked her
away. Now, years later, Augustus brings back the grown
up Layla, and tasks Sin with protecting her when he
leaves. Layla and Sin immediately feel the connection
they had as children, but now with an adult attraction.
While Augustus would like to see them marry, and Layla is
open to the idea, Sin rejects the suggestion, not feeling
worthy because of his past and the things he did while
enslaved.
Poor Sin's suffering and loneliness broke my heart. He
showed his true character and strength in the way he's
choosing to live his life now. Soon, a strong and deadly
enemy makes his intentions clear that he wants Layla for
himself, and Sin out of the picture. Sin swallows his
pride and calls on his powerful family to help him. Will
they forgive him for the past and help him now?
FOREVERMORE has so much going on, as author Kristen
Callihan brings the Darkest London series to a stellar
conclusion. I love the romance between Sin and Layla,
who has powers she is yet unaware of. One of my favorite
tropes is friends-to-lovers, and seeing Sin and Layla
fall in love, and their hot chemistry made for excellent
reading. The secondary romance between Augustus and the
enigmatic Lena was also touching. Many old friends from
previous books in this series also made appearances. In
particular, Miranda and Archer face a devastating
situation. Romance, passion, heartbreak, supernatural
battles, reconciliation, and redemption all make
FOREVERMORE an amazing read. Be sure to read the
previous books, as you'll definitely want to become
familiar with all the circumstances and characters of
Darkest London.
Isolated and alone, Sin Evernight is one of the most
powerful supernatural creatures in heaven and on earth. As
an angel of vengeance, he hunts down the darkest evil, but
when his long-lost friend, Layla Starling, needs him, he
vows to become her protector. Even though she will be
horrified by the man he has become.
Now a famous singer and the toast of London, Layla believes
that Sin is only here to guard her from rabid fans and
ardent suitors. However, the truth is far more sinister.
Desperate to avoid losing Layla a second time, Sin will face
a test of all his powers to defeat an unstoppable foe - and
win an eternity with the woman he loves.
