This was such a satisfying conclusion to the series. These characters have come SO far since we met them in book one (Kiki and Yari especially) and it's been quite beautiful to witness, not that it didn’t take a fair amount of blood, sweat, and tears to get there. It's also refreshing to be able to dive into fantasy inspired by Mexican folklore with a fairly diverse cast. I will definitely be continuing to come back for more from this author.

I absolutely loved the ending here. I was thrilled to see Latino/Latina/Latinx characters in a magical shifter setting. There didn’t feel like there were side characters, which is often hard when there are this many central roles. Growth and development, happiness and some bittersweet moments. Can’t wait to read more of her work.

I thankfully received an arc for this conclusion to the trilogy. I love Yari finding her inner strength and getting a more in depth view of her. How the answers to everything came about and the found family is stronger than born family when needed. Sol and Kiki finally finding a way to love and respect each other was also nice haha. Lots of new characters and surprises in this one and tons of spice haha. Loved it

This is the final book in the series and I’m so happy/sad to see it end. I was so surprised by how strong Yari came out to be! I clapped and screamed for her when she finally got her revenge and it was awesome! There are three couples and eventually four couples at the end so there is ALOT of spice in this book and I’ve always said that the author as no problem writing spice, so be ready for the amazing spice in this book.

This was a fantastic ending to this trilogy. I loved how much all the characters have grown throughout. I’m the most surprised with how much Yari has grown but loved how much she came into her own.

I can’t wait to see what Nicolette will write next. I highly recommend this series. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Top favorite fantasy series 😩

This wrapped up the series so well! The action/plot is so well balanced with the romance/smvvt!! Missed all the characters and I loved seeing them fill into their new roles! Especially Yari 🥹

It feels so bittersweet to finish the final book in a trilogy that has easily become one of my favorites. But maybe we might be gifted with some side novellas? Maybe? Lol
All of our main characters got their HEA and Nicolette was not joking when she said she was ramping up the spice in this book. My goodness,

This was the conclusion of the Ozero Curse series. A book series that has amazing lore and the world-building is top tier. With this being the last book, I feel Nicolette did a wonderful with wrapping it up. There are multiple couples and tons of spice, so be prepared. Fated Mates and Yeri is finally coming into her strength. It was really bittersweet honestly, but I also loved it.

This is book 3 and I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book. This book wraps everything up from the original story and does have a happily ever after. The end does leave room for more books in the world however not the original story. Wonder if there are any future plans. If you have triggers read the trigger warnings. The spice level is up in this book as well. This was an amazing story of found family and fated mates with a little demon twist. It is the perfect ending to the series.

It's such a perfect ending to the trilogy!!! The happy ending wasn't easy to get to and you go through alot of emotions getting there but so well worth it!! I loved the growth in all of the characters and watching their bonds form. I loved the message that sometimes family isn't who we are born into but the family we create along the way. I'm so sad this is over but can't wait to read more hy Nicolette!!
