Gods & Monsters

Serpent & Dove, Book 3

By: Shelby Mahurin

Narrated by: Holter Graham, Saskia Maarleveld

Evil always seeks a foothold. We must not give it one.

The electrifying conclusion to the New York Times and Indiebound best-selling Serpent & Dove trilogy is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Kendare Blake.

Lou has spent her whole life running. Now, after a crushing blow from Morgane, the time has come to go home - and claim what is rightfully hers.

But this is no longer the Lou her friends knew. No longer the Lou who captured a chasseur’s heart. A darkness has settled over her, and this time it will take more than love to drive it out.

From Serpent & Dove to Blood & Honey and concluding with Gods & Monsters, Shelby Mahurin's stunning fantasy trilogy delivers thrills and romance.

Love love love

I absolutely adore Holter Graham's narration in this series. Usually I'm not a fan of male narration, but I am just in awe of his voice and inflection.

The story took unexpected turns, and I usually get annoyed by some of the turns this one takes but I really enjoyed it in this book.

The female protagonist is also a character that is so starkly different from what I'm like or what I vibe with and I was worried in the first book if I would like her, but I really do. I think the backstory was important in that case.

Loved this series

Although there were times I wanted to throttle the main characters I really loved this series! It was a great book about magic and witches and how prejudice can make evil fester and grow!

The plot twists!

I was sucked in from book one. Yes there is a story of love or romance but also there’s a story of friendship, acceptance, building community and unlikely friendships. Such a good series on so many levels.

This ending was masterfully done!!

I really enjoyed both the story and the narration. I am so pleased with the character arc and growth, especially of the supporting cast of characters. I will absolutely be auto-buying anything Shelby publishes!

Satisfying Ending, but "meh" Journey

Overall a good series but not great. So many awful things kept happening to keep our main couple away from each other that we never really got to enjoy their happiness. The first book had things spicy, but the 2nd and 3rd fell pretty flat and just dragged on. At least we got our ending and some funny moments in between.

Couldn’t stop listening !

Characters that grow. Story that you can’t wait to find what happens next. Still want to learn about the characters after the story ends.

Wonderful series!

Great series and a fantastic ending to all of the open story lines. I really enjoyed everything about this series!!

Narration was tough.

I enjoyed this book more than I expected to after book two kind of let me down. I have other books by Holter Graham and I'm really not a fan. The story I enjoyed, but I found myself grumbling every time the narration switched back to Reid's perspective.

Love the entire series

I love the entire series including The Scarlet Veil. I can't wait for The Shadow Bride to come out!! I think these books would make an excellent TV series 😁

Suspenseful

There were twists and turns and it kept me on the edge of my seat
