The Book of Life by Deborah Harkness
This is the third and final book in the All Souls trilogy that I started two years ago. As with the predecessors, I was spellbound with this one as well (see what I did there-haha).
Picking up where the last book left off, Diana and Matthew have returned from the past to find the two missing pages from Ashmole 782. She's still pregnant with twins, and now one of Matthew's rogue children is out to cause trouble. He wants Diana because she is capable of bearing a vampire's child, and Benjamin will stop at nothing to possess her.
Meanwhile, a friend of Diana's has joined the research team to find out the secrets of vampire, daemon, and witch dna. It works out rather well on that front.
Unlike most trilogies lately, the need to kill off one of the "good guys" wasn't necessary. Sorry to spoil that for you. In many ways, it ended like a Shakespeare comedy, with all the loose ends tied up.
I have immensely enjoyed reading this trilogy, and will miss the adventures of Diana and Matthew, and their band of misfits.
