Dark Obsession by 
Dark Obsession by Sarah Piper brings to a conclusion the trilogy that is Dorian and Charlotte’s romance. This might be the only trilogy where it has stayed consistently good. I was worried that things would fizzle for this third book, but it continued to give everything the series is known for. There was spice, angst, and violence!
Obvious spoilers going forward for the first two books in this series.
We start to see the mending between Dorian and Gabriel, just in time for Gabriel to start his trilogy at the conclusion. This is one of the things I loved most about this book – the brotherly relationships we get. Where the focus was obviously on building up the relationship with Dorian and Charlotte for the first two books, now that they’ve pretty much solidified as a couple, part of the focus shifts to Dorian and his siblings. We see just how skewed Dorian’s POV is because he only knows what he knows and once the truth starts coming out, everything changes – the dynamics between siblings. What was especially well done and has stuck with me even now, months after finishing this book, is Dorian’s relationship with Malcolm. There’s no wrapping that up in a pretty little bow. We don’t know what’s truth and what’s perception. While some readers may hate this, I loved this because it added a slight element of realism in an otherwise wildly unrealistic (obviously) series.
Dorian and Charley’s relationship deepens as they finally begin to fully trust and understand each other. Despite arguments, they love and trust one another not to jump to conclusions and instead respect the others’ decisions. It is honestly refreshing to see that growth, especially considering it was one of the biggest reasons for the drama surrounding their breakup at the end of book 1.
Apart from the relationships, we continue getting more worldbuilding which works to hopefully set the next trilogy up in the Vampire Royals of New York series. We get more demon information and learn more about their place in this paranormal world. Dorian’s position is made clearer. It’s just so good because it isn’t simply smut and romance (which don’t get me wrong, I love), but also has substance in its paranormal plot.
Honestly, you don’t need me to tell you whether to pick up Dark Obsession by Sarah Piper or not. This is the third book in the series and the conclusion to Dorian and Charlotte’s story. Absolutely pick this up! And if you have as many feelings and opinions about it as I do, come talk to me about it and then lets pick up the next in the series!
