Oh boy! What can I say that Ronin & Crystal haven't said before me.....oh yeh,
THRESHER FRICKEN ROCKED!!!

I really didn't want to stretch it out, but alas I had to. If I could have finished it in one sitting, I sure bloody would have!

Saying goodbye to our beloved breeders, vamps & exotics was a lot easier than I thought; because Marata gave us such good closure.

Thresher tied up all loose ends but paved the way for the upcoming Sirens series with, an intriguing introduction to the Mer. Who I can't wait to discover in the Sirens series!

Aubree & Beau, I finally decided, are my favourite couple. Their witty banter back & forth makes me smirk constantly. I can see myself in Aubree too, which makes her awesome of course! But her recognition of the sea saddened me greatly. But I'm hoping that we meet Brandon again soon!

Rachel & Cole touched my heart aswell, with their "all consuming chemistry"; and Cole's cluelessness with Rachel's quips. It's hilarious!

Tarrin & Lucia are exquisite! Their union is so touching. Tarrin's change from battle-hardened warrior, breaking skulls like eggs, to caring-lover-extraordinaire is breath taking and sexy as! My favourite quote of Tarrin's is: " Come quickly, he begged inside his mind, come on the wind, and die by my hand." Shivers people's!!!!

Con. How I've loathed you! Then Marata appeals to my empathetic side, and makes me pity you!!! I didn't think it was possible, but there you go! I was actually kind of rooting for him with Lucia!!! (Traitor!) Suffice to say I'm hoping to see him in the Sirens series. There, I said it!!

All in all, Marata's Druid Breeders series has been erotic, sexy, intriguing, surprising, exciting, action & adventure packed. I've loved every single minute of my time with these characters and I must implore people to look past the initial warnings and jump in head first and lose yourself in this amazing series.
Marata is an amazing writer and so much more!

I give Thresher 5 out of 5 stars; but the entire series I give 10 out of 5. They're just that good!! Bring on The Druid Breeder Novel baby!!!

“All good things must come to an end.” ~Geoffrey Chaucer (1374)

Well, I tried to prolong the inevitable… I really did not want to say ‘goodbye’ to these characters whose story was so graphically told… and yet, alas… C’est la vie!

Farewell Cole, I loved you, the best—it’s the ‘leathers’ and the skull trim *shakes off the goose bumps*. Farewell Kier and Beau, I loved you two almost as much as Cole—they’re huge and oh, so protective. Farewell Andrew and Elias, you were extremely loyal protectors and friends. Farewell Aubree, you kicked a**! I absolutely love strong women. Holly and Rachel—see ya! I’m still a little bitter that they defied Cole and romped around town in the daylight; which contributed to their kidnapping and the compromise of their first coven home. They were warned. I’m just sayin’. LOL =:-).

Tarrin and Lucia were compelling and fascinating additions to this saga. My immediate thoughts after flipping the final Kindle screen were somewhat selfish. I initially wished that we had more time with Tarrin in this part of the series, but in retrospect—it was perfect. He was intriguing, honorable, determined and ‘on a mission’ to find his woman. He had a ‘birds-eye-view of his role’ and a destiny to fulfill. That was all that we, the readers, really needed to know and it worked quite well.

Con, Con, Con… I want to say so much about this beloved bad boy, but I won’t. I will say that I loved his fleeting, yet ambivalent thoughts and feelings of social normalcy. It was delightful and way too comical to see him attempt to turn a corner in his personal growth.

I don’t believe we are seeing the last of our beloved coven (maybe that is wishful thinking, but I suspect we will see a few members at some point =:-). Either way, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for that possibility.

I naturally hate saying goodbye in the real world and now find it hard to say goodbye to storytelling with vivid imagery and a group of characters that I’ve personally grown to cherish. That says something about the storyteller doesn’t it? Kudos to you, Ms. Eros, you’ve managed to create characters people ‘care about’ without benefit of full length novels.

Overall, this final installment was a fitting end to The Druid Breeders series and inferred the creation of a possible new series. I personally can’t wait to see where Ms Eros will take us next, although it is guaranteed to be a fast-paced and dynamic journey.

Ms. Eros, I am ready for my ‘interlude’ with the ocean… **in my Norma Desmond voice.**

Loved it, what a beautiful ending with new beginnings. New characters are on the scene and they are as hot as the other vampires and the exotic’s that stole my heart. Hope I am not giving away to much, he he……. OMG, I am so in love with Keir and Tarrin, Alpha males with attitude and sexual prowls yum yum lol. The story line was well written. I feel like I can successful say I have closure with this ending. The book was packed with action, you know me I always like a good battle. The steamy scenes were a blast, they would definitely make your mouth water some one, anyone please fan me, lol. I laughed so hard at some points where I could have burst and I cried… I can’t believe I cried for Constantine. A sniffle and tear drops m my eye as I write this, as soon as you think things are set right there is no mercy for the un-merciful. (sniffle again and patting eye lids). I rated this book 5 stars because it was that good that I could not put it down. I needed to finish it and now that I have I feel bad for finishing it to quickly. Marata You Rock!

********** 5 Vamp Stars ************




Marata does it again. Another brilliant installment for this series. I can not say enough about The Druid Series. This is definitely a series I will re-read again in the near future.

So many trial and tribulations in this story. I like the fact that Marata keeps you on your toes you never know what is going to happen. That is what keeps you so interested in the books.

I don't want to make this review to long. I have reviewed all these books so far I will make this short and sweet do not want to give to much of the story away.

Rachel, Cole, Holly, Kier and Aubree, Beau, Tarrin, Lucia kick some ass in this series. But do they destroyed all the enemies?

Constantine discovers who he really is but is he spared from being killed because of who he is?

Rachel & Cole have that "all consuming chemistry" it is seriously HOT!

Aubree & Beau are by far my favorite couple. I love their story so real and love how they batter back in forth with one another. You will laugh at some of the stuff Aubree does.

Tarrin & Lucia's union is so heart touching. Tarrin is a hardened warrior but has that gentle side of him as well. And he will do whatever he has to do to get to Lucia his other half.

This story is amazingly written. Hats off to Marata for bringing this paranormal dark erotic unique world to life.

[Zoey Derrick · Rating 5 out of 5]

First of all, Thank You Marata for a beautiful book and Druid Breeders Series.
I love this series for a number of reasons mostly the fact that these books prove the test of love in so many ways. Secondary is the fact that I found that I have never been so turned on by a book from cover to cover.
Beau is by far my Fave Character, subtle tho he is in the books, something about him just calls to me.
5 of 5 for this and all 6 books is the Druid Breeders Series!!!

[Sofia Lazaridou · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this one. I like the druid series period. There is another book so yeah!

[Erica · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Brilliant ending to a brilliant series!!!!

This is definately a series I will re-read and I am really looking forward to all the spin offs.

This last installment rounded off the stories of all the Druid Breeder pairs and the all the bad guys.

Okay this installment was more on the romanctic side so my review will be more to that fact.

Okay Tarrin was excellent such strength and violence but still has the ability to check his actions. Very strong character and an excellent pairing with Lucia who is strong in her own rights and witty. and Tarrin has the aboslute best line in the whole series....................
"No one takes whats mine. fate has gifted me this female. Destiny does not allow exchanges"
LOVE IT!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!

Rachel and Cole I believe still have the best relationship of all the breeders they have their relationship based on love they obviously chose each other. I was really estatic over the ending of their story it left no questions but I do enjoy this couple so much that I still want there to be more to thier story.

Kier and Holly their realtionship built completely on LUST and is hot and you can see the care they have for each other builds, and its nice to see a couple completely hot for each other. I do miss Zach though, I believe Holly missed out on the whole Soul mate thing there but she got just as good with Kier.

Aubree and Beau they have the whole meant to be together soul mate thing that they pull off completely you really believe their love for each other. Definately one of the best couples in the series.

Constantine is still his wicked self in this installment but does have a huge change of character that is and awesome revelation.

I have to mention the introduction of the Mer HELLO hottness, I am so excited that this is going to be a spin off I need more of these mermen.

So Marata Eros did it again and excellent ending to an excellent series, Loved it!!!!!

Marata Eros has the BEST imagination she will suck you in with her stories and imagination and you will never leave her storyland without a HUGE smile on your face and a faint blush in your cheeks.

Really really looking forward to the Druid Breeders Novel thats out now. and the Mer story Ember, whos cover is HOTTER than the already Hot covers of the Druid Breeders series.

[Debbie Chittenden · Rating 4 out of 5]

For a short, this was intensely powerful. I don't think I expected half of what happened. However, my biggest pet peeve with shorts is the lack of detail and true emotion. I hate that so much feeling and depth is skipped over in such a short amount of time. This book itself could have been stretched to a full novel if not even an extended version for the epilogue alone. What exactly had happened in those 2 years? Am I honestly to believe that there hasn't been attacks, kidnappings, rapes, or attempted rapes on the Druids? Not likely.

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

Did enjoy this series but has serious rape issues throughout all books. There are a lot of different types of vampires in this series that at times gets confusing.
The story takes awhile to develop throughout the 7 books but the ending was a bit lagging.
This book is very graphic and has A LOT of sexual abuse which at times does over take the books every other sentence is a female getting attacked and sexually abused.
Might look into the full length novel hopefully might clear up the ending

[Spring Waters · Rating 1 out of 5]

I cant believe I'm back here. I truly do stand by my original review of these POS books. But it keeps showing up on my list as an unfinished series, so here I am plowing through the rest just to get it off my radar once and for all.
These are completely absurd, the plot nonsensical, even the sex scenes are yawn worthy at best and grotesquely worded.

[SavageReadsSmut · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story is so good....

The plot of these stories, I LOVE! Different sectors of vampires and druids and the introduction of the Mer people! The spicy scenes are essentially copies of each other. This being the third book I've read and these scenes are identical to that of the first book is really disappointing.

This is a review of the Druid Series Books 1-9, as if this was one book. The same review will be posted for all books in this series on my Goodreads profile. Spoiler free review! Star levels may change with the different books as some were more compelling than others. But all dependent on each other.
I LOVED this series. This is a pretty epic weaving of druids, vampires, Mers, etc. It is imperative, in my opinion, to read these back to back to back. Do. Not. Stop. Marata Eros has an incredible ability to paint a richly visual environment and give the reader tangible characters that you can attach to - for better or worse! To me, no matter the content or genre, if I can “see” what I’m reading, the author has gone above and beyond in creating a work of art. I became invested in the entire story, the complete lives and history that were being played out before me. This story is saturated with intense action, hot sex, mythical creatures, and a captivating history of another kind of existence. Even reading them in order, the timeline and characters can get a little confusing at times, but don’t give up, it’s worth it!
After reading the entire thing, it all comes into perspective. I loved trying to work it out along the way. I truly enjoyed the back and forth of characters, timeline, events, etc. I admit I wrote the author at one point to make sure I was reading things in the right order and wasn’t missing anything, but other than that, I really, really liked having to focus as much as I did to keep it all straight.
This is a pretty epic time line of events, characters and their history. It is important to read them in order. Things do seem to double back from time to time, and it is completely worth re-reading as you go along to make sure you have it straight! Not many series are worth that, again, in my opinion. This one was.

[Pam · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars I'm just gonna write one review, because to me the way I read it, it was one book, went through them one after the other. I'm so happy that all the books were out or else I'm not sure if I would have been able to wait. I think after the first two I read, it all finally clicked, I got where the author was coming from and totally took the book and story for what it was worth. If you are unable to remove yourself from what is "socially correct" than this book is so not for you. As the author mentions: **This book is intended for an adult audience and contains marginal consent, multiple partners, forced breeding, vampire sex, and oral play.**

With that said, what made it 3.5 stars for me was that I was so drawn into their little world. I actually really liked this book, it was fast paced and entertaining, the sex was freakin HOT (m/f & f/m/m/m), there was some punishment scenes, sexual rituals but with the sex there was a story to follow.

In Harvest, Cole and Zach finally make their mates theirs and gain alliances. InSow, we meet Beau and Aubree and I fell in love with Beau, he was the most real to me. In Seed, we meet Kier of the faction and the Druid Priests, we lose a mate and gain another. In Plow we get introduced to the exotics and lastly in Thresher, the finale comes to an end, with a HEA epilogue.

At one point though it got a little tiring at how often the Druid females kept on getting kidnapped. There are the spin off series that I’m putting on the TBR list, but I’m gonna take a break from this world and come back to it later.

[Marissa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Even when I tried to read slowly, I still finished the book in record time. I'm glad Con got what was coming to him, and I'm anxiously waiting to find out more about the exotics and the siren breeders. At times it felt like things were pieced together just for the sake of an ending, but at the same time, it was necessary for everything to come full circle.

[Michelle Patrick · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the final book in the series.

I admit I was a little disappointed with the conclusion. One of the plot twists for a female really took this volume in an unnecessary direction. Out of all the books in the series, I liked this one the least. On a more positive note, I am glad there were no cliffhangers and we get to see a true future for all.
