Evernight by Kristen Callihan

Evernight (Darkest London, #5)

by Kristen Callihan

Holly Evernight belongs to a very special family of inventors. They have nobly served the Society for the Suppression of Supernaturals for generations. And Holly may have the most special creative powers of them all. But her skills are about to be tested as she tries to save the life of a half-man-half-machine whose clockwork heart is ticking down to the bitter end...

William Thorne was a rebel, a hired assassin for the SOS's greatest rival, before he was taken, tortured and transformed. Now his mind and soul battle with his body as he becomes less and less human. But the true fight for his humanity will be waged within his heart.

Evernight by Kristen Callihan was my first ever Darkest London book and it most certainly won't be my last. This book took me three weeks to read but it was a pleasant three weeks. I savored Evernight. It pulled me out of my reading funk slowly but surely.

Will Thorn and Holly Evernight mix about as well as oil and water. They have a bit of an ugly history. I absolutely loved watching them work together to try and work through their issues. And do they have some issues: clockwork hearts, poisons, assassins, and a Fae Queen on a mission. While the plot is fast paced, Callihan gives her romance time to grow.

Evernight is the fifth book in the series but not once did I feel lost. Kristen Callihan does an excellent job initiating new readers to the series. For those who enjoy the enemy to lovers troupe, make sure to take a look at this one! I'll be going back to dive into the rest of this series!
