ALL THINGS WICKED represents the third in a series. although
the author does a good job of bringing the reader up to
speed, it would be best to read the first two books to truly
understand the plot. Caleb is a witch hunter and has known
to have done fairly atrocious things to witches to rid them
of their power in the past. Juliet is no longer with her
coven and grieving over her sister. It is hard to reconcile
a meanish witch hunter falling in love with a witch, but the
author manages to convince the reader in the end.
Juliet's character was nice enough. The reader may be
disappointed that she is not a "strong woman." She can be a
little too gentle and fragile. However, her intentions are
usually admirable. Caleb is not the easiest character to
like right away as any fan of the series will not have,
perhaps, the best opinion of him. However, he comes off as
that strong, rough, and protective male...perfect for
fragile Juliet. The author does a great job with the love
scenes, making them both believable and exciting. The plot
itself was well-developed and easy to follow. Any fan of
both romance and the paranormal will most likely enjoy ALL
THINGS WICKED.
Juliet Carpenter thought of the coven as family, but when
she falls for a man who betrays them all, she’s left alone
and desperately searching for a reason why. Caleb Leigh has
spent the past year in hiding, unable to escape his demons.
When Juliet finds him again, her need for vengeance clashes
with the hunger still burning between them. It’s a fight
born from the embers of a half-forgotten attraction and the
wounds of a past too raw to ignore. With enemies circling
and secrets threatening to consume them, Caleb has no choice
but to fulfill a promise made long ago—protect her, save
her. Even if it costs him his blood, his body . . . and
what’s left of his mind.
