Book 3 of 4 = starting to drag

The battles, new evil creatures, magic casting & moral dilemmas are becoming repetitive. Still plan to slog through Book 4 for the excellent narration.

Battled to finish this. Got monotonous.

Battled to finish this. Got monotonous. Such a shame as I enjoyed the last two.

Love it

Each book gets better. Connor is a freak of nature! can't wait to read the next book in this series!

Love it!

Awesome book. Love this series, love the Characters. The ending though, OMG. Have to get the next book!!

Awesome!

Loved it! Just as I did the other two, now I'm off to read no.4 I cant wait another minute.

Male lead character is terrible

For once I actually really enjoy the female lead character. She’s not “pretend” strong like most other female leads in other fantacy series. But the male lead, yuck! He really does not choose her over others. She is definitely 2nd or last even when he makes decisions. And at the end of the book he kind of just expects her to make a big sacrifice for his kind, even though he used to hunt down and kill hers. With barely a mouthed “thank you” please. This guy is all about himself, luckily our lead lady don’t need him to get by anyways. She always saves herself. He can’t step up even once. He got so furious when his kind was hunted down, but for her “eh, wanna fuck?” Please, I’m relunctant to start the next book

love this series

The character's are funny and each have a personality of there own. Need book 5.

magical kick ass

Enjoyed the book. not much different then the last one which is fine as it is a continuing story. wrapped up nicely.

A lot of repetitive plots and conversations

I've actually listened to this book 3 entire times. It's taken me a while to get to this review and I didn't want to move in to another one or I'll forget. There is a scene where the lead character, Levy, makes a comment about how she felt towards those who she felt betrayed. I thought that moment, actually that one sentence was the best of the whole book. I felt it was one of those moments the author truly wrote what this character would feel. I was shocked this author was so bold. Its a spark of something i hope to see more of in this series. Now the rest of the book...

After reading the first 3 books, I've determined that this author is a serial repeater. I'm not sure if it's for the readers benefit or her own. I know that some authors will write their books in portions and not necessarily in sequential order. So when you get someone who constantly repeats a phrase or a previous event is described in detail multiple times, I think it's a result of something like that. It's not always a bad thing and some readers may love it. Just personally, unless the book is over 20 hours then it's not necessary at all.

Every time anyone is about to tell a lie, then a shifter will say, "Do I have to remind you that I can detect the changes in your breathing and pulse...". Seriously. Every time and it's usually Garret. We get it. Shifters can tell when you lie.

At the end of the previous book and as you go through this one, you will be constantly reminded what Hara (Leader of the Counsel) can do with her Fae powers and what she did to those in the night club in the last book. Over and Over. And Over and Over.

Also for the 3rd book our lead character constantly describes The Cleanse which is one of the core past events. At least 5 times... that's once every other chapter.

The narrator, Staci Glemboski, was a good. I have no complaints.

2 Stars - Decent. Has Potential. Possibly a good idea for a story but something could have been better. Sometimes it's because the author put too little or too much into the wrong parts of the story. New authors sometimes fall in this ranking and move up as their series progresses. Doesn't mean I hated it. Just means it was missing something to push it over the hump.

Ok... so this isn't a trilogy... good to know

At no point did I read anywhere that this was a trilogy, but I've read a lot of them recently and just assumed, the ending of this book definitely dispelled that idea, talk about a cliffhanger! And speaking of the ending, the book came to an excellent end point, but didn't, it kept going and the last bit felt like it didn't belong in this book and should have been in the next one, since this would have avoided the cliffhanger I would have preferred this.

Levi and Gareth finally end up in bed together, but the scenes were a bit bland, it felt like they were just going through the motions because they should instead of being passionate lovemaking, it was disappointing, every time.

Connor is starting to annoy me, I mean seriously, he's such a stereotypical bad guy with an obsession with the heroine, and it's not really adding anything to the book.

There's new creatures like the Mors which were really interesting if a bit underutilized.

Wow, it's really sounding like I didn't like it which isn't true, I did like it, it's just that I expected more after the first two books, this one was good, but not as good. I liked it enough that I definitely want to continue reading the series.

The character voices were excellent, they're distinct and easily recognizable, the pacing and tone of the delivery matched the different scenes of the story.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.
