Bewitched #3
Bedeviled
“My queen, my wife, my lovely Selene … You who saved me, died for me. Waited eons for me so we could exist in this moment … I am yours forever.”
It’s been two thousand years since Selene Bowers first fell in love with Memnon Uvagukis, the sorcerer king of the Sarmatians. So when, at present, an unbreakable vow forces Selene to marry this soul mate she once died for, it is in many ways a dream made real.
Unfortunately for her, neither she, nor Memnon, are able to bask in the moment for long. Not when demons keep ambushing her, and her husband’s magic appears to slowly be consuming him. And not when, despite eliminating the prior threats to Henbane, the coven still teeters on the brink of shutting down.
And then of course there’s Eislyn, an age old menace who lurks somewhere in the shadows. She led to Selene and Memnon’s demise long ago, and now she threatens their existence once more. It seems she wants something from them, something she’s been waiting millennia for, and if Memnon and Selene don’t figure out what that is and stop her for good, she just might get it—and destroy them in the process.

I really like it when I stumble upon new authors who are absolute gems 💎 Can't wait to read this !!
Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
4.5⭐️
Selene and Memnon are of course, eternal. I loved them so so much. Memnon is morally questionable and a complete loose cannon but for Selene he is so openhearted and gentle. He will literally decimate their enemies and rip demons apart and then make Selene some tea and tuck her and Nero into bed. He made them both flower crowns!! I loved how their relationship here grew, even after so many years together. Memnon is willing to put himself wholly into Selene's hands, but is also completely honest with her. And Selene finally lets herself wholly fall for Memnon and be emotional with him. I just loved all of their quiet scenes together, both confessing what's in their hearts.
After reading The Curse That Binds you could see the mistakes they both made in the past that lead to their deaths and here you can see they've both learnt from those and are willing to change course. Memnon isn't going to just continually push and consolidate power without keeping an eye on his enemies- he was betrayed before and lost Selene, and he is sure as hell not going to let that happen again. And Selene here speaks up and helps plan and strategize and doesn't just go along with with things when her gut is telling her not to.
The epilogue was very sweet and honestly I wish it was longer- but I also would just read chapters and chapters of these two living their lives in peace.
Also it was so fun to see Desmond! You definitely don't have to have read The Bargainer to understand his part in this story as everything is explained, but it was great to have him hanging around.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishing team for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
"You are every hope, every joy, my deepest truth and sharpest yearning. Every breath I breathe is yours. I am yours. Forever."LOVED this. Such a fantastic ending for Selene and Memnon, who have been through SO much all I wanted was for them to be happy. I think LT did a good job weaving all of the plots together and tying them up nice and neat, while also giving us so many great scenes with our two main characters

Review of advance copy received from Author
You can find this review of Bedeviled on my blog, Heart's Content!
A big shout out and thank you to the author for providing me with a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review!
I have been reading Laura Thalassa for what feels like time immemorial and yet, it never fails to surprise me how she creates the worlds that she has written, envisions the stories that she has shared and evokes from her readers the emotions, that she intends…and Bedeviled was no different for me.
Arriving at the end of a series is a uniquely bittersweet experience. You’re finally seeing, on page, the peace you have envisioned for these characters for so many years and it’s a painful ache in your heart; at the same time you’re seeing them leave and move on to have experiences that you’ll never witness and it’s a hard truth to face. However—as a third side to this imaginary coin—you also know this means the author has made space for something altogether new and exciting that will soon be a part of the stories you love.
I think reading tastes are shaped and refined over time; however the first few books/authors that helped form our tastes and preferences in reading will always be special to us. For me, Thalassa was one of those authors. She helped drag me into the genre of wickedly delightful fantasies and I never left. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, no one does an anti-hero better than Thalassa. If you’re looking for a good time, a great read with humour, wickedness and of course romance, Thalassa is the way to go.
Circling back to the review portion of this post: I’ve always wondered when I read a series wherein there are connections across books, if the author had planned it all along, or wrote it into the story as they went. Either way, they depict a level of skill and honed technique, in both, the writing and the ability to plan and execute flawlessly. I think every single work of Thalassa’s establishes her prowess and speaks for itself; and this series is no different. I will say the author never shies away from heavy themes (so please check trigger warnings) and always leans into how much they can impact the lives of the MCs and actively tear into the hearts of her readers. But if there’s one thing I would never worry about, it’s that Thalassa will always do right by us in the end. It doesn’t matter how many times she breaks our hearts, she’ll always mend it well before she leaves. Then, of course, she’ll write a new series and do it all again; but by that point you’ve actively signed up for the pain and won’t even mind the devastation.
There was something about this series that reached out and touched my soul. Though it may not immediately seem like it, in my opinion, this was a story about vulnerability and trust in many, many ways. The narrative shapes these two themes in alternating braids through its storytelling and the tale builds from shattered ashes and pain into something beautiful and lasting. Though, in all honesty, I feel there are interconnected worlds she’s building that we are yet to fully see. Ask me in a decade, so I can say “I was right!” That and “I told you so,” of course.
The plot in this series is so interesting because each book follows an important plot point that feel unique and whole in itself. However, they also serve a larger plot purpose and link all the four books together. This last book serves as the final piece that snaps the whole puzzle into place and you make connections across all books and realize the horror and abject injustice that is wrecked over the course of this series by the hands of the greedy. In all honesty, how’s this different from today’s society? One person’s greed and corruption has far reaching consequences; as it trickles down to the very roots of the people’s lives, affecting and infecting them with the poison of that one person’s inability to be a decent human being. You can feel all the fury, feminine rage, betrayal and the desperate war for peace coating every line of this series—and this builds until the final chapter.
There are little secrets and big secrets but you can never tell which hurt more when they are revealed.
Honestly, by book three the world has been established, built and reinforced. That doesn’t stop Thalassa from adding some layers of complexity and depth to her world anyway. She draws some interesting elements from her others series and drags and drops it into this one at the perfect moment. The reveal was gorgeous, as always. I’m truly curious to see what else Thalassa is going to create and if there will be more parallels drawn across her different series. As always, I can’t wait.
The pace of any Thalassa book is always stuffmyface speed. It’s a new word I’ve coined to describe how swiftly and easily I consume a book. There’s always something addictive and satisfying in reading anything written by Thalassa and safe to say that this series was no different. In fact her work is so special to my heart that my favourite book in this series is actually the little novella that slots between books: The Curse that Binds. It was ingenious, beautiful, just perfect. It was every single emotion you’d see in this series—over the course of three books—packed into one tight, neatly written book. But please read the series in the order mentioned in the author’s website to be able to truly enjoy it as intended.
The rest? I’m going to let you find out for yourself.
Five stars! Happy, happy reading! Please check trigger warnings as always as there are themes in this story that can be difficult for some!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5/5
Thank you so much to Laura Thalassa and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC early!
Bedeviled was such a bittersweet book to finish because this is genuinely one of my all-time favorite series. Saying goodbye to these characters definitely hurt, but I absolutely loved where Selene and Memnon’s story ultimately ended. After everything they’ve been through, seeing them finally get the ending they deserved was so satisfying.
That being said, this wasn’t my favorite book in the series. Out of the four books, this one felt a little different, especially when it came to the pacing. There were moments where things felt slower than I expected, and the pacing just felt a little odd compared to the previous books. Even the prequel—which I absolutely LOVED—had a flow that worked better for me.
But despite that, I still really enjoyed this book. The emotional moments between Selene and Memnon were everything, and seeing their relationship come full circle made the slower parts worth it. And the connections to The Bargainer series? I was absolutely living for that. I love when an author connects their worlds, and those little moments were such a fun surprise.
This series has given me ancient magic, witches, soulmates, morally gray characters, unforgettable characters, and one of my favorite possessive sorcerer kings. Even though Bedeviled wasn’t my favorite of the series, it was still a pretty damn good ending to a series I’ve loved so much.
A bittersweet goodbye, but one I’m very happy with. 🖤✨

July 27, 2025I'm so excited for this, ya'll!!! The Bewitched series is the first series I willingly started knowing it wasn't complete. I'm obsessed and unwell in the best way possible. I'm constantly looking for other reads that give me the same vibes this series does. Memnon is, without a doubt, my fav MMC right now- I love a man OBSESSED! It's somewhat painful having to wait for the final book, but it's also exciting to be a part of Laura Thalassa's eager fan groups; I've added myself to every Facebook page and social media group chat in existence while patiently waiting for book 3! I dream about this series for crying out loud!

al principio del libro como que no pasa nada, pero del 45% pa lante como que es una tras otra tras otra.
y hay decisiones muy estúpidas tomadas por la prota que es como: SIS, POR QUÉ
Memnon, te sigo amando.
No es del todo necesario, pero recomendaría leer la saga the bargainer previamente, al menos hasta el segundo libro. Porque aparece cierto personaje... y hay cosas que se comprenden mejor tras la info de ese libro.
Otra saga terminada en 2026: ole ole y ole

Saying goodbye to Selene and Memnon was bittersweet. After everything these two have endured across this series, I loved finally watching them stop fighting fate and each other and truly find their home within the bond they share. Seeing Memnon fully accept Selene for who she is, rather than constantly comparing her to the Roxilana he lost, was easily my favorite part of the book. It felt like the emotional payoff I’d been waiting for.
And the The Bargainer crossover? I was kicking my feet. I love when authors connect their worlds like that. Although I can’t pretend the “Alright, Daddy” line didn’t make me physically recoil just a little.
This wasn’t a perfect finale for me. The pacing dragged in a few places, and I wanted a little more tension leading into the final confrontation. But the emotional moments between Selene and Memnon more than made up for it, and I closed the book feeling satisfied with where they ended up.
This series has given us ancient magic, soulmates, witches, morally gray characters, and one of my favorite possessive sorcerer kings. It was a heartfelt ending that gave these characters the peace they had fought thousands of years to earn.

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
This is the final book in the Bewitched series, and I thought the ending was perfect.
I’ll say that the first half of the book was a bit slow, but then things really started moving! We had high stakes, and I was stressed out. Also a character from her other series shows up in here! I haven’t read it, but now I want to read her other series.
I’ll say that some of the writing (mainly the FMC’s inner thoughts) were at times… cringe 😂. I mean she was like that in the other books too, so it wasn’t a surprise. I LOVE Memnon. The way he loves Selene and some of the things he says to her.. he is so down bad and would burn down the entire world for her.
Overall this series was a fun spicy read! I think it would be perfect during the Fall. Oh and I highly recommend reading the prequel before reading this book.
My ranking of my favorite to least favorite book in the series:
#1: The Curse That Binds (prequel)
#2: Bedeviled
#3: Bespelled
#4: Bewitched
I want to thank NetGalley for this e-ARC

4.5 ⭐️
This was such a good conclusion to the series. Selene really fell in love with every part of Memnon, I loved their vulnerable moments together. We really got to see their emotional connection explored. Now, that fucking fairy that was haunting them, she met a fitting end. What a bitch, hated her from the moment we met her. When a certain blonde, winged male showed up I hollered. He’s still sassy. I wasn’t expecting that and I loved it. Selene, I’m worried about your arson habit, you might need to chill. That library was amazing what a loss 😭

Rounding up from 3.5⭐️
Spoilers!!!
I like them as a couple so as a romance, it was very funny and enjoyable for me!
BUT so much of the fantasy story was frustrating because there weren’t any improvements from the earlier books. Why was no one doing research? Why does it always take Memnon so long to get there? What the hell have all the instructor witches been doing this whole time? How does the high priestess know everything but do nothing? Why is it only Memnon and Selene who are doing anything? Why do they keep leaving each other alone? I think the plot was pretty meh and we had got even less of the witchy vibes from books 1 and 2. Also minus a half star for that epilogue 🙄.

✨ARC Review✨
This series overall is fine. I really enjoyed a lot of parts. I thought it was very funny and also could be very sweet even though it is very lust forward. I thought Memnon's love and devotion with wanting to have intimacy in a connection way more than just physical was great. There were cringey moments and inner thoughts, but I enjoyed it enough to continue it.
I like the series. It's as simple as that. I will say, this final book felt a little convinent. Things happened convinently and I didn't feel there was any real stakes or any moments where I was concerned it wasn't all going to work out. And I think that is just what the series is. I don't think it was supposed to be this crazy dramatic series and that's fine.
I LOVED the crossover so much. And it made me realize that I love the Bargainer series more, I do feel it is a stronger series, BUT again... I enjoyed this book and I enjoyed the cute simple moments we had, and I enjoyed the banter. It was just an easy to read, chill book! Sometimes with a series, we don't get to enjoy the simple moments or get to live in them, they are glossed over, but with this book we get to live in the bliss for a time and we get to see moments that we normally don't. Time was spent on those moments where the characters are connecting and I did enjoy that.
Overall, it was decent, I enjoyed my time.
Thank you so much for the ARC!
This series overall is fine. I really enjoyed a lot of parts. I thought it was very funny and also could be very sweet even though it is very lust forward. I thought Memnon's love and devotion with wanting to have intimacy in a connection way more than just physical was great. There were cringey moments and inner thoughts, but I enjoyed it enough to continue it.
I like the series. It's as simple as that. I will say, this final book felt a little convinent.

Bedeviled by Laura Thalassa
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️
Thanks so much to Bloom Books for the eBook. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Bedeviled continues with Selene and Memnon’s story after the events of Bespelled. From their bargain, Selene now has to marry Memnon, and while she’s frustrated about it, she’s also conflicted since she put one of the stipulations in place that she would only fulfill the bargain if she had fallen in love with him…and she did. With her memories from their past life back, she knows he’s her soulmate, but that he’s also a wicked sorcerer that looses a part of himself every time he uses his magic. Any chance of a happily ever after in this lifetime is put on hold when they realize that the same fae that ended Roxilana in the past is still around and after her again.
I thought this was a perfect ending to this epic love story. There’s something about this story that just drew me in knowing they were in love in a past life and didn’t get to live that life out, but now get a second chance. I have been a Memnon fan from the first book. I love how unhinged he is and so unapologetic about it. He never claims to be good or anything, he only promises to love and protect Selene and he does that. When I reread this series I think I need tiny red flag stickers that I can put everywhere Memnon is a red flag (even though we love him for it). I liked how much relationship building we got in this book and then the final conflict.
This is the perfect series to pick up (or finish) in fall. While it’s not scary, the witch vibes make it perfect for the season.

Did I cry finishing this book? Heck yes I did. This series has surprisingly been one of my favorites of the last few years. Not surprisingly because I know I love all of Laura Thalassa’s book, but because I’ve actually found myself rereading it constantly as a comfort to myself. I truly fell in love with Roxi/Selene, Memnon, their lives in the past, and in the present, seeing them fall in love the first time and the second.
It’s rare you get to see that with characters and I thought that was such a cool part of this whole story. The fact that we got to meet them in the present and then go back and see them in their first lives as well. I thought this book wrapped up the plot very nicely. It brought everything back together. I didn’t feel like there were any loose ends, and overall it was an extremely satisfying conclusion. Honestly, I could have an entire Novella of Selene & Memnon as parents.
I loved the Easter egg of incorporating the worlds of the bargainer into this story that made me super happy as someone who has read that whole series as well. I just truly love everything that Laura writes. She absolutely immerses you into the world and makes you fall in love with the characters, flaws, and all.

Another banger by Laura Thalassa !
I always love how she concludes her series. She knows to wrap up plot points, deliver plenty of action and still give us room to breathe and marvel at the love between the characters. This book had it all. Reading Bedeviled after the heartbreak that was The Curse That Binds really gave another dimension to the series and made it more epic. I also loved to see This Guy, great cameo !!!
Thank you so much to Laura Thalassa for letting me read this book early, what an honor. I devoured it and can’t wait for her next series !

Many many thanks to Laura for the ARC copy of this book! You will forever be one of my favorite authors and I hope you never stop writing!
This final book is givingggggg! If you thought you liked Memnon in the other books….oh honey this book will give you even more. And the best part, THERE’S A CROSSOVER! No spoilers but a certain someone, who I love, makes an appearance and it is good good!
What an epic end to an amazing series! Absolutely worth reading/inhaling!

I’m giving this four stars because it felt extremely low stakes. I mean, I knew going into it that it was going to be a HEA but it felt too easy to get there after everything else that happened to Selene and Memnon. Honestly, the spice is what carried this 😂 I will always have Memnon in my top 5 book boyfriends (husbands 😜).

Perfect ending for the series that means the world to me. From the mystery that starts in book one to the love story that unfolds with so much depth. And I can’t count how many times I laughed out loud due to both characters. They are perfection to me, this series is perfection to me and it is so bittersweet that it is all over now 💜

A great end to Selene and Memnons story. Lots of love and smut in the first half and lots of action in the second half. The beginning of the book felt a bit dragged out to me and unfortunately the cross-over with The Bargainer fell also a bit flat for me.
Nevertheless this was a great series that I would recommend to anyone who likes spicy romantasy.

This was a nice conclusion to the series. I found it a little repetitive in the way the battle scenes played out and ended, it started as a bit too spicy but it gave up afterwards. The epilogue felt full circle especially if you read the prequel! Overall, a good fun story 💜

LOVE LOVE LOVED THIS BOOK! It was a beautiful ending to the series - dark, spicy, and delicious. I’m obsessed with my morally black king, Memnon, and Selene is so relatable and such a fun pov to read. 100000000/10 you have got to read this series!
