I love the characters and enjoyed the twists and turns. ( ) Wow, I'm finally done with this series! I wasn't sure if I would actually ever finish this one. This book (like the first two in the series) is very slow. Things pick up towards the end and get more interesting once you get closer to the fight, but for most of this book, it felt very slow. There were also some things that happened that made it seem like they were put in, just to fill space and build up the ending. I didn't see a point to them (I'll talk about this more in the spoiler section). While the endings are always the best part, I'm not sure if it's enough to make up for the rest of the book/series. Overall, the series was ok, but unfortunately not too memorable and not one I would be interested in re-reading any time soon. SPOILER SECTION!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! So one part at the end that I felt was a filler and didn't really need to happen was Diana going to the congregation and asking them for help to stop/take down Ben and rescue Matthew. When it came time to actually take down Knox and defeat Ben and save Matthew, Diana pretty much did all that herself. Now that she has the Book of Life in her, she seems 10x more powerful than ever (and she was already pretty powerful before). So why exactly did she need to go to the congregation for help? Was she unsure of her power? Were they supposed to be back up just in case something went wrong? I just didn't see the point of it, other than now, Diana is going to be the one leading the congregation but we could have found that out later on. Another thing I'll say is I wished the battle with Ben would have lasted longer. The story builds up to this moment and then it's over in less than 5 min. I get that Diana is super powerful now and can end things quickly, but I still would have liked to see more of a struggle. I'm not sure what happened with this third book. I really liked the first two but this one just dragged until the last third. I read the first two and listened to this one so maybe it was that I couldn't skim the less interesting part. Whatever the reason, I did not find this one as entertaining as the first two in the series!

Auf seinem Schloss in Frankreich kommt der Vampir-Clan der Clermont zusammen. Mittlerweile wird Diana als Hexe von der Familie akzeptiert, besonders da sie von Matthew schwanger ist. Immer noch suchen sie nach dem verschollenen Manuskript, das die Entstehung der nicht menschlichen Kreaturen erklären soll. Vielleicht wird man hier auch eine Lösung für die Vampirkrankheit "Blutrausch" finden können, die selbst Matthew unberechenbar macht. Das schwierigste Problem tut sich jedoch vor Diana und Matthew auf, als sein verschwundener Sohn Benjamin sich zurückmeldet, der von Rachegelüsten getrieben wird und Diana in seine Gewalt bringen will. Die Familie muss also auf vielen Schauplätzen kämpfen. In den USA arbeiten die Freunde Dianas an der Entschlüsselung der Vampir- und Hexen-Gene und in Oxford treibt Diana, trotz ihrer kleinen Zwillinge, ihre Forschung nach dem "Buch des Lebens" voran. Der Abschlussband der Trilogie (davor ID-A 14/13) ist wieder sehr komplex. Geschichtliche und naturwissenschaftliche Fakten und eine differenzierte Charakterzeichnung heben den Titel über das Mittelmass. Sehr empfehlenswert Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden.
