About this book
Callypso Lillis has finally embraced the fae magic coursing through her veins, but this newfound power brings a perilous vulnerability. As the bond between her and Desmond Flynn, the formidable King of Night, deepens, so does the danger threatening their kingdom. The Thief of Souls emerges from the shadows, intent on shattering the Otherworld and claiming Callie as the final piece of a devastating puzzle.
To make matters worse, a ghost from the past has materialized: Des’s father, the former King of Night, has returned from the grave with a singular, murderous obsession—revenge against his own son. Caught in a race against time, Callie and Des must traverse treacherous realms to unravel ancient secrets before their enemies’ schemes reach fruition. Their dynamic remains the heart of the conflict; as they navigate a landscape of shifting loyalties and encroaching chaos, the strength of their connection is tested by forces that threaten to dismantle everything they have built.
With the fate of the fae hanging in the balance, they discover that death is no longer the ultimate fear. In this high-stakes struggle, survival demands a sacrifice that could alter the harmony of their world forever.

DebbieGreat Conclusion to the Series.
"Dark Harmony is the final book in The Bargainer series by Laura Thalassa. For some reason, the first portion of this book took me longer to get through. I got distracted and felt it was taking too long for Callie and Des to confront/defeat the Thief and Des’ father. However, about midway through book, things finally started getting more interesting, there was more action and I was working right alongside Callie trying to figure out how to accomplish what they needed to do. I absolutely adore Des! He’s just the best and would be such an amazing mate and partner. He loves and cherishes Callie so much and never does anything that doesn’t prove those feelings true. Callie finds strength she didn’t know she had and the series ends in a really great place. I love the world LT created here, and I enjoyed reading this series following Des and Callie on their journey to happiness. ["

Kelsey GriggsGreat Trilogy
"Rating - 3.7 (ish) I feel like I am almost the opposite of the other reviewers where they had loved the first two books and not so much this one, whereas I struggled with the first two but loved this book. We finally learn who the Thief of Souls is, what he wants, and why he is doing what he is doing—very Greek Mythology melodrama. I loved the hint towards Persephone towards the end of the book. Hopefully, that is what the author was going for; if not, you're welcome. We finally find out what happens when all those sleeping soldiers awakening - hint: it's not a good thing. But surprise surprise, Callie can now use her Siren to control Fae. A little too convenient but, if she could not, the book would have ended. (view spoiler) Des and Callie have other items on the agenda and take off for a vacation back in Malibu. It does not seem like the best time to take off, but OK. The reader then learns how Galleghar came back into the picture and what role he plays in the Thief of Souls plan. I enjoyed the Thief of Souls character as he was such a presence while not being a "physical" presence until the end. It was also interesting to see how the Seer from London's premonition also came to be accurate but in a very different way than expected. I think the author did a fantastic job of wrapping up all the loose ends and leaving just a little extra to keep the reader thinking and questioning. It felt just a tad rushed, I wish the adventure to the World of the Dead had had more focus and information. It would have been great to learn more about that World and what happened during the Thief of Souls reign. Overall, I did enjoy the entire trilogy. I would give the series as a whole a rating of 3.5. Would I reread it? Probably not. Would I recommend to a friend? Maybe, if they love lots of steamy scenes and want a fun, quick read, yes. ["

Ashley FrancisJust WOW
"I used to love to read. For years I read nearly a book every day. But I found the stories were becoming repetitive. I lost interest in reading and hadn't read anything "for fun" for around 3 years. I seen Laura Thalassa's book 'Pestilence' on amazon after it came up in my reccomend list after reading the 'A Touch of Darkness' series. I thought I loved the horseman books. I read the other 2 books 'War' and 'Famine' and I rediscovered my love for reading. I needed more. But when I read the description for this book I didn't think I would like it. The first book was actually kind of hard for me to get into due to the constant jumps in time. It wasnt that it was difficult to follow it was just that it felt like the jumps in time happened between every 3 and 5 pages which was sometimes every chapter and sometimes twice a chapter. But if you push through that I swear this series is one of the most beautiful book series I've ever read and the time jumps stop in the second book. I'm not one who cares about grammar much (not that I even noticed any mistakes) but I can't imagine the normal person like myself would even notice any issue with the grammar. I think maybe one thing that might make it difficult to get into is the author uses very modern descriptions when she speaks and thinks through her characters. I personally liked it and it made the characters more relatable to me. I felt as if I personally knew Callie and Temper. I had seen some people complaining about the age gap between Callie and Des however nothing sexual ever occurs between them and personally I didn't feel feel it was any worse than the amount of romance that happened between Bella and Edward in Twilight. I think their love was perfect... and this author is so extremely talented Im going to read the rest of what she has to offer even though they dont sound particularly my taste I'm just going to keep an open mind and hope that she blows me out of the water again. Also, lastly this book talks about assault on women a lot and might be a trigger so proceed with caution if that might trigger you. However, I will add that this is NOT a wattpad story that romanticises that type of behavior. ["

G. MaypesThe Bargainer series is an amazing paranormal journey
"Well written. Well edited. It grabs you from the beginning and keeps you enthralled all the way through three books. All the books are published, so no waiting for the next installment. It’s set in modern day earth and the fairy world. The suspense is well developed and I didn’t figure out most of the twists till the end. Some clues were obvious, but it didn’t make the book boring at all. The characters are interesting and very well developed. So are the many Fae worlds that this story winds itself through. Des and Callie have a beautiful love story that starts out complicated and becomes intense and strong. The sex scenes are tasteful and relevant to the story. The secondary characters are entertaining. The first book is “Rhapsodic”. If you like paranormal, suspense with a great love story, then you’ll love this one. There are plenty of laughs and heart warming side tracks as well as bad guys to hate. Highly recommend. ["
