Bedeviled

Bewitched #3

by Laura Thalassa

“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.

About the author

Found in the forest when she was young, Laura Thalassa was raised by fairies, kidnapped by werewolves, and given over to vampires as repayment for a hundred year debt. She’s been brought back to life twice, and, with a single kiss, she woke her true love from eternal sleep. She now lives happily ever after with her undead prince in a castle in the woods.

… or something like that anyway.

When not writing, Laura can be found scarfing down guacamole, hoarding chocolate for the apocalypse, or curled up on the couch with a good book.

I CANT WAIT FOR THIS, fingers crossed I get the ARC.... (pleassseeeeeee)

[Em]

[Elomeno P · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bespelled link led me here... bewitched #3!!!!

[Amyreonna · Rating 5 out of 5]

After reading The Curse That Binds, I demand this be 1,000 pages.

[Cece ❀Rants, Raves &Reviews❀]

From one of my favorite authors, I'm so concerned for the book slump I'm about to get when I finish this series !!

[Le Jules]

I'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!

Can’t wait for more unhinged Memnon.

Primero que nada, amo la pluma de Laura, sus libros son muy enganchante y rapidos de leer, por eso es de mis autoras favoritas, todo lo que ella escriba, TENGO QUE LEERLO! (Estoy desesperada por saber cuál es su siguiente historia) 😩

Este libro no fue suficiente, NECESITO MÁS, 😭voy a extrañar mucho a Selene, Memnon y Neron (también a otros personajes 👀), Laura quiero un extra por favor, o tal vez vuelvas a este mundo en el futuro? Por que hay mucho potencial…👀😏

I’M SAD THAT THIS TRILOGY HAS ENDED, IT’S ONE OF MY FAVORITES!😭

I don't know where to start I LOVED EVERYTHING, 😭from the first book to this last one. It’s such a gripping, addictive, entertaining, romantic very romantic, tragic, yet also steamy/hot (it has a little bit of everything).🤍

First of all, I love Laura's writing style; her books are incredibly engaging and quick reads, which is why she's one of my favorite authors, I HAVE to read everything she writes! (I'm dying to know what her next story will be!)🤍🥹

This book wasn't enough, I NEED MORE🗣️. I’m going to miss Selene, Memnon, and Neron (and the others👀) so much. Laura, I’d love an extra, please or maybe you’ll return to this world in the future? Because there’s so much potential...👀haha

Desmond's cameo (not a spoiler) OMG haha, he and Memnon are so stupid😭their interactions are the best, I love them.🥹
Memnon, OMG, Laura, I NEED you to keep writing this kind of man, PLEASE hahaha😏😮‍💨
Selene ,what a queen, I LOVE HER; this couple is simply chaotic and perfect🤍🥹

This ending was perfect, I loved everything about it; it has everything I enjoy.🤎 I want to say so much more, but I can't because it would mean spoilers AAAAAHHHH so I'll just say that I really enjoyed reading this book and I'm sad it's over. If you haven't read this trilogy yet, DO IT!😠

P.S. I appreciate that there’s an epilogue; I love epilogues (not many authors include them haha😆)

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 !

🇫🇷French & English reviews🇬🇧


*Cette chronique est basée sur un ARC en échange d'un avis neutre et honnête*

📖Genre & Tropes📖 : Romantasy x Modern World x Witch x Sorcerer x Fated mates x Morally Grey x Pregnancy kink x Touch her/him and Die x Spicy

ATTENTION : comme c’est le dernier tome de la série, il faut absolument avoir lu les deux premiers ET même si ce n’est pas obligatoire, je vous conseille quand même d’avoir lu la série Les Secrets de l’AutreMonde !

Le dernier tome qui conclue cette trilogie en beauté !

J’ai TELLEMENT hurlé de joie quand j’ai reçu ce ARC de l’auteure >< Attendre jusqu’à fin août devait de plus en plus dur avec tous les teasers que l’auteure avait mis en ligne donc je me suis empressée de dévorer ce livre comme si dormir ne signifiait rien … Et maintenant je regrette parce que je l’ai terminé trop vite ><

C’est difficile de faire cette chronique sans trop spoiler MAIS j’ai particulièrement aimé :

- l’univers ! J’ai particulièrement aimé dans ce tome tout le folklore autour des divinités souterraines qui m’a bien intriguée mais aussi tout le côté sororité des sorcières ! J’ai absolument adoré ces scènes d’entraide à Henbane Coven et ça m’a donné envie d’aller vivre là-bas =)

- l’intrigue ! On a enfin toutes les réponses à nos questions et j’ai adoré le rollercoaster de tensions et de révélations qu’on a tout au long du livre !

- les personnages ! Je ne sais pas exactement pourquoi mais je les ai trouvé plus « humains » dans ce tome ! Certes, Memnon est toujours un sorcier maléfique mais c’est aussi quelqu’un avec un long passé douloureux et j’ai bien aimé aussi voir Selene prendre de l’assurance et s’imposer en tant que Selene et pas étouffer par les souvenirs de Roxi !
Mention spéciale pour un certain Bargainer … =D

- la romance était bien plus intéressante dans ce tome parce que, contrairement aux deux autres tomes avec les trop nombreuses pertes de mémoire et autre, ici les personnages ont le temps de développer leur romance qui devient plus « réelle » =) Bien sûr, il y a toujours des scènes très sexy mais il y a aussi des scènes plus romantiques et mignonnes ce que j’ai particulièrement apprécié (mention spéciale pour la scène des « parents » xD)
Mention spéciale pour les déclarations d’amour de Memnon : il peut tuer qui il veut s’il me parle comme ça xD

- ceeeette fiiiiiiin <3 Je dirais rien de plus =D (enfin si, je veux absolument un tome avec la deuxième génération =D)

Bref, un tome de romantasy avec une intrigue forte en tensions, des personnages complexes et sombres et une romance chaud bouillante ! Je recommande toute la série pour les lecteurs et lectrices qui aiment leur romance avec de la magie, du sexe et des héros moralement discutables <3

PS : to the author, thank you so much for the ARC =D

*This review is based on a ARC in exchange for a neutral and honest review*

NOTE : Since this is the final volume in the series, you absolutely must have read the first two books and although it’s not mandatory, I also highly recommend reading the Bargainer series !

The final volume that brings this trilogy to a brilliant conclusion !

I squealed with SO much joy when I received this ARC from the author ! >< Waiting until the end of August was getting harder and harder with all the teasers the author had posted online, so I devoured this book as if sleep didn't matter ... And now I regret it because I finished it too quickly ><

It’s hard to write this review without giving too many spoilers BUT I particularly loved :

- the universe In this volume, I especially loved the folklore surrounding the underworld deities—which really intrigued me—as well as the sisterhood among the witches ! I absolutely adored the scenes of mutual support at Henbane Coven; it made me want to go live there myself =)

- the plot ! We finally get all the answers to our questions, and I loved the rollercoaster of tension and revelations throughout the book !

- the characters ! I’m not exactly sure why, but I found them more "human" in this volume ! Sure, Memnon is still an evil sorcerer, but he’s also someone with a long, painful past. I also really liked seeing Selene gain confidence and assert herself as Selene, rather than being overshadowed by memories of Roxi !
Special mention for a certain Bargainer … =D

- The romance was far more interesting in this volume because—unlike the previous two books, with all the memory loss and such—here the characters actually have time to develop their relationship, making it feel more "real" =) Of course, there are still plenty of steamy scenes, but there are also sweeter, more romantic moments that I really appreciated (special shout-out to the "parents" scene xD).
Special mention for Memnon’s declarations of love : he can kill whoever he wants if he talks to me like that xD

- Thaaat ennnnding <3 I won’t say another word =D (well, actually, I absolutely need a book about the next generation =D)

In short, a romantasy volume packed with high-tension plotting, complex and dark characters, and a sizzling romance ! I recommend the entire series to readers who love their romance mixed with magic, sex, and morally grey heroes <3

PS: To the author, thank you so much for the ARC =D

For more pretty reviews 😘: My Bujo, all in color and books

Advanced reader review from author

I want to start off by saying this was truly an honor to read, and to be selected by Laura and her team to review prior to the release. I’m a long-time supporter of her writing, and these characters have each healed a small part of me over the years. Selene, in particular, I have always admired.

As far as series endings go, I was prepared to feel empty when it was done. Honestly, the sheer magnitude of love and happiness this wrapped up with made my heart feel incredibly full, and I am so happy with how each and every character in this story had their own endings. I found myself with a wine glass in hand and tears in my eyes the last 20% of the book! Get your tissues ready.

In the other books, I felt like I didn’t get to connect with some of the other witches, Nero was in and out a lot, and Memnon was mostly from just Selene’s perspective… but that definitely was not the case in this. Tons of action-packed girl power, kitty snuggles (and flights? 😂) and Memnon being an unrealistic new standard for men. Each moment Memnon and Selene were together made my pulse pound, the romance was incredible. I love my husband, but DAMN! 🥵

Another thing that truly makes this book stand out is how much work and research must have gone into the culture and lifestyle of ancient civilizations. It felt modern, but after reading The Curse that Binds, you felt half in the past and half in the present. I thought that dynamic really made for unique character development for Selene.

Lastly, just thank you. This had everything I could have ever wanted out of a series, and it was great to revisit some old friends… 😏 (IYKYK)

Thank you Laura for this eArc in exchange for an honest, spoiler free, review.

Bedeviled was my most anticipated read of the year and I was over the moon to be gifted an eArc a month before release 🎉.

The final book in the bewitched series doesnt dissapoint. It is a stunning, epic conclusion to Selene and Memnons love story that is so deeply deserved.

There are plenty of soft moments that the characters deserve, and plenty of action to keep you gripped. The last 20% had me gasping. There is also heartbreaking revelations along the way.

I loved the cameo 👀 and i would absolutely beg on my knees for more.

I am obsessively happy and satisfied how this story came full circle. 🖤🌙🧹🧙‍♀️🧚‍♀️

[Sara Ann · Rating 5 out of 5]

The end of an era.

These books were definitely fun to read and they had me laughing at some points I mean common our girl Selene is definitely funny.

I don't want to put any spoilers out there but this was a stunning conclusion in my mind.

[Naomi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Epic finale. And I do mean E P I C. I think Laura's readers are going to really love this one. That's all I will say about it.

[Cactus Pear Paper · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perfection!!! Everything I’d hoped for. Full review to come, I’ll probably do at least one re-read before it’s out!
