April (catching up)'s Reviews > Soul of a Witch

“You are far more powerful than you have ever been allowed to believe.”


This series hooked me in from the beginning. The second book fell a bit for me, but this one reeled me right back in. I wanted some witchy vibes for the spooky season, and that is exactly what I got.


A Soul for a Witch is the final book in the Souls Trilogy. It is an age gap, touch her and die, insta-love (but I didn't hate it), dark romance with witty banter, sarcasm, dirty talk, and magic. There are some plot crossovers since it's along the same timeline as the first two books, but we get more building and a backstory with this one before it crosses plots than we did with the second book.


Everly Hadleigh bares witness to the murder of a fellow classmate by her half-brother to be sacrificed. She doesn't want to be caught up in it and ends up teleporting to a mysterious house deep in the woods. A house that she finds out holds magic and has housed her ancestors. What she finds there is the archdemon Callum, who had been waiting for her for 2000 years. Together, they want to kill the God in Abelaum. The first step of their plan is for Everly to return home to steal the grimoire from her father. When she returns home, she finds out from her father that the God will need a vessel that is filled with power and a mind with faith. Her father's plan is for her body to become its vessel. Will her and Callum be able to defeat the God together without being killed themselves, or Everly becoming the vessel?


For so long, you haunted me. The familiar face of a stranger in a hundred lifetimes. As if we were always circling each other, two planets in cosmic alignment, thrown into a continuous loop by the power of one another. I waited for you, before I even knew it was you I was waiting for.


At the coven house, we meet Everly's grandmother, who is a ghost that speaks through a radio. I enjoyed her wisdom and funny and snarky remarks. We don't see much of the previous couples. All that we got was a scene of each, which made me kind of sad because I would have loved to see more of Leon. I was happy, though, not to see much of Victoria and Jeremiah as I don't like either of them.


“I do miss you,” I mumbled against her neck. “Miss you every second I’m not touching you. Every moment I can’t see you.”


This may have started as insta-love, but their relationship grew into much more. We see the building of their relationship until their chemistry is explosive. They are literal soulmates. I loved Callum with his sarcasm, witty comebacks, and his obsession with Everly was top tier. And oh my gosh, the nicknames that he gave Everly made me swoon so hard. You guys he read one of her romance novels and planned a picnic for her. I need a Callum lol. Gosh Everly, I loved her so much! She was a sweet, shy girl who was always told that she was weak. Well, let me tell you, she grew into a strong, confident witch and learned how to master her magic.


“I love you,” I said. “I love you more than life itself, more than my own freedom. For you and you alone, I’ve stayed alive, Everly. For you, I would face everything I ever feared. I’ve lived a thousand lifetimes and I swear I’ve loved you in every one of them.”


I have been enraptured by this world and am sad that the series has come to an end. And what an ending it was. I was scared for both Callum and Everly sitting on the edge of my seat with what would happen next. I loved the epilogue it was sweet and heartwarming. Please check out the triggers before picking this up. I can't wait to see what else Harley has in store for us and to read others that I haven't yet.


“To whom do you belong, my demon?” “To you, darling. You will have me in life. I will keep you in death. For eternity, I am yours, and you are mine.”
