What a great conclusion to the trilogy! I absolutely loved the ending. Am I biased? At this point, probably yes. It's no secret that I adore Catie and have read everything she has ever written (and will continue to do so). However, honestly, after the journey Astrid has been on, all the laughter and the tears, it just felt fitting. Part of me is absolutely devastated and maybe a little heartbroken. Another part of me is thrilled with the way things turned out.

I've thought about what to say for a week now, and still writing a proper review for this last book is difficult. So much happens across the span of the three books - each with their own mysteries and reveals - that I risk spoiling everything by saying too much. If you've read the other two books, you understand what I mean.

All I can say is, Astrid is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to protecting her family. She's an absolute queen! Be prepared for an action packed adventure full of life, love, and steamy romance.

Thank you, Catie, for the eARC. The series may be over, but I cannot wait to see what other stories come out of Dracht. Also, I'm still waiting for a cookbook 👀 All thoughts are my own.

To Love and to Parish by Catie O’Niell, the conclusion to the Hearts Bound by Dust trilogy, and WOW, what an ending! 🤩

I had been looking forward to reading this one, but with Catie’s teasers in the lead-up, I was starting to get a little worried (and scared!) about what she had planned for the characters. I have to say, there were a couple of worrying moments, but overall, that ending was absolute perfection and was NOT what I expected!

After everything Astrid has been through — the tears, the laughter, and everything in between — the ending was so fitting. The last half of the book, when a certain character returns, had me completely hooked. I just didn’t want to put it down!

I have loved everything Catie has written, and this one was no exception. In fact, I think this might even be my favourite of hers! ❤️

I can’t really say much more about the story without risking spoilers because, honestly, you need to read all the books in order. I don’t want to say anything that could spoil it for anyone else.

But if you enjoy a romantasy with a little mystery, some twists and turns, and moments of spice, then this series could definitely be for you! Astrid is also such a strong FMC throughout. She would do anything to protect her family, time and time again.

I’m sad to see this series come to an end, but as always, I’m looking forward to seeing what Catie does next! 💕

I received an advance copy from the author, but all opinions are my own.

To Love and To Parish is the final book in the Hearts Bound By Dust Trilogy. I can’t describe this book in too much detail or I risk giving away spoilers for the whole series! This entire paranormal romantasy series has been a fun read and this book is especially perfect for the incoming spooky season. Book one includes a murder mystery, book two leans more into the magic of this setting, and book three truly runs with that and the paranormal aspects of Dracht. All three books are action packed, full of steamy romance, snarky quips, and charming familiars. I’m sad this series is ending for now and excited to see what Catie writes next!

5/5 ⭐️

I couldn’t put this down. I loved the whole book, it made me feel all the feelings. I don't want to give anything away but this was a great way to end the trilogy. Thank you Catie for my early copy.
