The Book of Life (All Souls Trilogy, #3)
by
My Diana and Matthew:
Similarly as its predecessors, The Book of Life is another thoughtful and thrilling page-turner. In this final instalment, author will take you on a thought-provoking journey woven into a beautiful paranormal tale that will awaken your imagination and appease even the most demanding readers.
All The de Clermonts (and Bishops) are back in present time, together with their never-ending web of secrets and intrigues. Now mated and on a verge of forming family, Matthew is desperate to keep his beloved Diana safe and happy. But when all Matthew's past deeds and mistakes come to haunt him, will their love prevail? Is their bond strong enough to covet danger greater than Covenant itself?
I absolutely love romantic aspect of this story. Matthew's and Diana's love for each other warmed my heart and brought a smile to my face through out the whole book. I'm definitely going to miss them (and all supporting characters) something fierce now when trilogy is over!
The Book of Life is a story about finding peace and absolution, about accepting who you are. The depths author went in to describe characters and their thinking is mind-blowing and truly exceptional. It made all characters come alive and it is probably the main reason which make this trilogy so special in my eyes.
Do not hesitate to pick these books up. With The Book of Life, All Souls trilogy secured first place among my all time favourites paranormal series!

"But you have become as vital to me as breath and blood. My heart no longer knows where I end and you begin. I knew that you were a powerful witch from the moment I saw you, but how could I have imagined that you would have so much power over me?" - Matthew de Clermont

I have been counting down the days, for the release of this final stage of Matthew and Diana's love story, for what seems like 2 years. I have even re-read the first two books three times each, while waiting for the next installment... such a mature, heart wrenching, intelligent and timeless paranormal love story. One of the best to date. I can't wait for the 15th July for The Book of Life release .... Yay!

Only one week to go, hope you will love it as much as I did :)

I had the same actress in mind too! Perfect Diana.
Jennifer wrote: "I had the same actress in mind too! Perfect Diana."She would be a perfect choice when they make a movie based on this series :)
But isn't Diana a redhead? I was picturing an Amy Adams/Emma Stone look.
Ky wrote: "But isn't Diana a redhead? I was picturing an Amy Adams/Emma Stone look."Yes, her hair changed a little bit in second book into "strawberry blond". But I always imagined Diana Kruger as Diana since the very beginning.
And in book 3, her hair is cascading and auburn ;-)
