OML, waited two years for this and it was well worth the wait.
The storyline was intricate, well written and had me on the edge of my seat throughout the book.
It kept me wondering what will happen next and my heart in my mouth ☺
I could talk what happened in the story but then you to buy it to truly appreciate it,
Instead I'll talk about the characters...
I loved the development of the characters, the relationships and an introduction of Kai (the pixie).
Jehenne finds him along the beach and you can the development of a sweet, kind hearted pixie. On the other hand you can see his confidence grow, his feelings and his inner diva coming out.
I loved seeing the changes in Jehenne - previously she was immature (and not to forget she is very young) and funny but here she has had to grow up real fast, look after Corvus family and watch her back from all her enemies. I admired the strength in her character and how much she has changed within a few weeks of Corvus being taken.
We got to see to Cain and his brutall nature and how it helped Jehenne grow strong.
Lucas was a complete surprise for me - I just loved him and how he led with strength and integrity.
I hope to see his and Cain's stories in future.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and recommend to anyone who is looking for something beautifully written, drama, heartbreak, love and kicka** action. You'll be addicted.

Such an exceptional writer and a plot so thick, with so much twists and turns you won't be able to put this book down until the final chapter is over.
Looking forward to the next book!

I loved this series and can not wait to read the 4th book when it is released!
It is not often I come across a novel that has me shedding tears, feeling joy, questioning characters... in fact, I’m pretty sure I went through a whole gambit of emotions! I was totally immersed in the story and the characters throughout as they found their new inner strengths, allowed to show their own sense of vulnerability and achieved things that they thought couldn’t be done.
Add to this the love story of Corvus & Jehenne that spans over lifetimes.
Truly a wonderful story and I have found a new favourite author!

Once more Jehenne has a fight on her hands to get her man back and she has to fight tooth and nail every step of the way to do it, the question is, can she?

An Epic Paranormal Romance!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 November 2016Verified Purchase
It's been two years since Emma Leech's The Heart of Arima. A LONG two years, I might add, and while of course, I've loved the intermittent offerings from the Les Fees series, it's fair to say that Les Corbeaux: The French Vampire Legend is the series that stole my heart.
From it's early days on Wattpad to the first instalment The Key to Erebus being published in 2012, I was hooked on the story of Jehenne and Corvus from the start. Set in the Dordogne countryside and weaving a story involving vampires, witches, fae and ghouls, Erebus instantly threw fresh light onto what had become a tired genre. Fast forward four years, and what was a refreshing paranormal romantic adventure, has become something of an epic extravaganza, which I'm delighted to say, is going to stretch to a four book series, instead of the three I had expected. And why not? Because clearly there's still much to tell of this tale that has its origins not only in the supernatural world, but also in Greek mythology.
Following the series and the author on social media, and as is the way with many paranormal romances, undoubtedly it's the male protagonist that gets the main share of the limelight where the fans are concerned, something which I totally get, but which also often leaves me feeling a touch of sympathy for the female MC. Particularly when that female MC happens to be as kick-ass as Jehenne. I do recall in the early days of the series, Jehenne sometimes got a bad rap from those expecting someone slightly more 'Bella Swan' and instead being given more sass than a sack full of 'Selene's'. But, having been exhausted by too many weak and so-desperately-in-love-far-too-quickly-with-the-bad-boy female protagonists, I was craving for a character like Jehenne - someone with a bit of grit about her, someone who was feisty and independent and who was likely to give the guy a hefty kick in the balls if he so much as spoke to her in the wrong tone of voice. I liked Jehenne instantly and I never once stopped rooting for her, even if at times, I could see she was about to end up in a whole heap of trouble. She wasn't perfect, she felt real, and that, to me, was key.
And besides, you can forgive a character for their flaws, if essentially, they learn from them and grow and whoa, has Jehenne grown! The Fires of Tartarus is like a coming of age story for Jehenne, having had to take the helm as Master of Corvus' family, while also battling to rescue him from where he languishes in Tartarus itself. We see a new Jehenne, one who has to learn to believe in herself while keeping control of all the chaos surrounding her and mourning the loss of the love she so desperately wants back. I'm not going to delve too much further into the plot here, in case of spoilers, but suffice to say that it was a total delight to see just how far Jehenne had come since the first book in the series. She was masterful, she was strong, she fought to be the person Corvus always maintained she was and she did everything with a touch of humility that showed she was still the Jehenne we had grown to love, just a more grown-up and in-control Jehenne.
Of course, I'd love to wax lyrical about Corvus in this review, because he is still one of my all-time favourite characters but if I talk about him here, I'll reveal way too much of the plot and nobody wants to see that in a review! Instead, I'll just let you find out for yourselves, Tartarus gives us a very different Corvus to the one we knew in Erebus and Arima, but still one with the ability to make all the female readers sigh a bit and in need of a cold shower or two ;-)
Also interesting to see was the continued development of some existing characters - I'll guarantee you now that Sariel, Lucas and Cain will become firm fan favourites - plus the addition of the glittery and magical Kai, Emma has built solid network of three-dimensional characters around our two MC's that helps bring this book to life, until you feel invested in each and every name on the page.
With a slightly darker, and noticeably hotter edge to book three in the series, Emma has managed to create something which transcends the paranormal romance genre, a story in which world-building takes centre stage, where places like Tartarus and Alfheim seem as familiar as London and Paris, where vampires, witches, fae and angels are most definitely all real and where you wouldn't bat an eyelid to meet a Cockney-ghoul called Rodney. At its heart, it's the age-old battle between good and evil, but with an angst and fire that will have you turning page after page, sobbing into your pillow and then punching the air with triumph.
Want a story with grit, passion, love, hatred, war and a bit more passion thrown in for good measure? Then The Fires of Tartarus is a five-star epic spectacular that you won't want to miss!
Roll on book four - just don't leave us waiting too long, Emma ;-)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 November 2016Verified Purchase
What a wonderful addition to the Les Corbeaux series! We finally find out Jehenne's true name, who her parents are and a few more details about her past (like what's up with those wolves). I don't want to spoil it for anyone but I just want to say that if you thought she was badass before, these revelations will blow your mind. If at the beginning Corvus was depicted as being slightly more powerful than her, The Fires of Tartarus shows us that it was only an illusion. They become a real power couple in this one. The book is action packed, a real roller coaster ride of drama and emotions. We learn to love and swoon over characters that we previously hated and fall even deeper inlove with some of our favourites. I have to say that Sariel has become one of those favorites for me and really hope to read more about him in the next books. Even Ines wasn't too bad in this one :)

Fantastic, hurry up book 4!!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 December 2016Verified Purchase
Oh god she's done it again...the crying picked up almost where I left off with The Heart of Arima. I read from Chapter 9 with my heart in my mouth and my pulse racing, both scared of what was coming and completely unable to stop reading. I was in floods of tears, the descriptions staying with my long after I stopped reading. I empathise so much with Emma Leech's characters, my heart broke so many times during this book and I didnt think I could bear the heartache any more than than Jéhenne could. As happy as I was with the ending, i am now faced with another torturous wait for book 4. From the beginning, I have had a longing for a Corvus, Rodney and Corin in my life, I've also decided I am in need of a Lucas too.
I've read all the books I can find by Emma Leech and I have just one request... Emma, please don't ever stop!!! Thank you for introducing us to such a wonderful world.
