ARC Review - The Hood and His Thief by S. C. Grayson

Thank you so much S. C. Grayson for sending me this ARC!

Title: The Hood and His Thief
Author: S. C. Grayson
Genre: Fantasy Romance
Series: Talented #3
Pages: 304

Synopsis:

Rhosyn knows a thing or two about theft, but she may have met her match.

When a mysterious figure called the Hood, a thief in disguise, starts stealing from prominent socialites, Royal Police officer Rhosyn itches to catch him. His uncanny ability to slip through her fingers presents an irresistible challenge, and she can’t help but obsess over who hides beneath the mask. Unfortunately, her hands are already full with the meteoric rise of a new gang called the Foxes, as well as an unexpected flirtation with an infuriatingly handsome circus owner, Mr. Ansel Blakely.

Rhosyn’s investigations of the Hood lead to the discovery of a more sinister plot in a trail of missing Talented. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a tangled web of lies connecting the thief, the new King, and Mr. Blakely’s circus. Rhosyn walks along a tightrope between her criminal past and her role in the Royal Police, but protecting her home will force her over the edge, and there is no net to catch her if she falls. Doing so would be hard enough without the strange kinship she feels with the Hood, and the nagging questions of whether her desire to catch him has to do with more than just professional pride.


Review & thoughts:

The Hood and His Thief is a Fantasy Romance and the third and last book in the Talented series. This series just keeps getting better and better with each book and after loving the first two, I think this one was equally amazing!

When members of the nobility find their jewels stolen by a man nicknamed the Hood and magically talented people disappear, Rhosyn decides to investigate it herself, which proves difficult with the handsome circus owner, Ansel, constantly stealing her attention and the Hood posing greater challenge than she expected and that she can’t resist. 

As always with this author’s books, once I started reading The Hood and His Thief, I couldn’t put it down. The magic system, plot and setting were really interesting and the pacing was perfect with a lot of action but also great character and relationships development. I really liked Rhosyn when we first met her in book 1 and I loved her even more in this one. This thief turned police officer has certainly come a long way from the beginning of the first book and I loved her character development, she was so interesting and a strong heroine and I liked how clever and persistent she was. I adored the love interest and their romance was beautiful, they were amazing together and the way they slowly began to trust each other and decide to give in to their growing feelings was wonderful to read about, I loved these two as a couple. It was also amazing to see familiar faces from previous books, I missed them and really hope we will get to see them again. 

The Hood and His Thief is a great fantasy romance book and the perfect conclusion to this amazing series, I love this whole series and all the characters and already can’t wait for this author’s next books.
