These Vengeful Souls

These Vengeful Souls by Tarun Shanker, Kelly Zekas

This is the third book in the series. I reviewed the first two books, THESE VICIOUS MASKS and THESE RUTHLESS DEEDS.

If you don't want any spoilers for the first two books, do not read this review.

An amazon summary so you can think about your decisions, or something, "Evelyn and her friends face ever greater dangers as they navigate tense battles, stunning revelations, and the limits of their own powers in this epic final novel in the These Vicious Masks trilogy.


England, 1883. On the run with the grieving Sebastian Braddock, Evelyn wants two things: to be reunited with her friends, and to get revenge on the evil Captain Goode. Not only has he misused his and Sebastian’s powers to rack up a terrible death toll, but he's also completely destroyed any hope of Evelyn or her friends regaining the life they once knew.
Evelyn is determined to make Captain Goode pay for what he's done, but is her revenge worth risking the lives of Sebastian and her friends? Or is it better to flee the city and focus on staying alive? And with the Captain spreading lies about Sebastian in an attempt to flush them out of hiding and turn the populace against them, does she even have a choice at all?

Sooooo, at the end of These Ruthless Deeds, Evelyn had to make a tough choice between saving her sister, or pretty much everyone else at the ball. Evelyn chose her sister. Sebastian's powers were amplified, causing the death of everyone at the ball. The survivors (so Evelyn & co) are under suspicion that they were the ones that killed everyone, when really it's mostly Captain Goode's doing.

Evelyn starts planning out ways to get revenge on Captain Goode...but the rest of the group would rather regroup and rest. Sort things out a bit before jumping into the next scheme. Evelyn is also staying close to Sebastian and trying to pull him out of his stupor. Sebastian is terribly beating himself over what Captain Goode made him do, and it's taken it's toll on him.

...that's enough summary.

So I really loved how this book wrapped up the trilogy. I loved how Mr. Tuffins came into play for this story, and I loved a lot of the character growth from Evelyn, Rose, Mr. Kent, Sebastian...and well just everyone. There was even more plucky sass prevalent and it almost took on a Scoody Doo esque quality at one point of like, "I hope we catch this bad guy!" ...and they just kind of kept running with it.

I pretty much loved everything about this series. It still took risks, made the characters authentic to their nature we've seen through all the books, and the action scenes felt even more intense.

Madly in love with this series. A must read.

Happy reading!!!
