OMG I love a series where each book is even better than the last. Taye Steele brought out the big guns!! Book 2 ended on a serious cliffhanger and I was anxious to see where this book went. And let me tell you, it came out swinging! Plot twist after plot twist interwoven beautifully into the story. I laughed, I cried, I raged.... just absolutely loved this book! Of course the ending killed me and has me on edge waiting for the next book!!

Thank you Taye Steele for sending an advanced copy of Nothing Stays Dead in the South Vol III. All opinions are my own.

This series just keeps getting better and better!

Why choose are my favorites and I'm loving the Loki vibes with Lucien. Each 'villain- adds more to the story and the twist and turns are amazing 👏🏼

That ending... JAIL YOU DESERVE JAIL 😭

Another great installment of Taye Steeles, Nothing Saya Dead… Taye has a way of sucking you into this world and making you not want to leave. The characters all find a place in your heart and mind and continue to grow there. I will say I was not happy with the deaths in this book, I won't say who or how. You grow to love the MMCs more and how they complete Jolene. I will say the spice level in this book is great. It's woven into.the storyline seamlessly and didn't feel.forced. Taye has a way of giving you a cliff Hanger of an ending that you couldn't see coming. I can't wait for all the books in the series to be complete!

Jo in the last few months has changed a lot. She is thinking that the danger is slowing down, but there is a new danger. Jo, Azrael, and Ric are trying to figure out what they are dealing with, but they seem to need someone who is their enemy. Can they figure out hoe to stop this new enemy? Great characters and storyline Highly recommended Amazing book I absolutely love Jo, Azrael, and Ric and their dynamic. The character development of these characters are excellent. Great supporting characters. This book is nonstop action and intrigue. So many twists and turns. The spice is so good. I love these characters and this world. Ends on a soft cliffhanger Check your trigger warnings.

Every book keeps getting better and better! How is it possible? This one though I’m literally speechless. Jolene, Azrael, and Vehric are everything and more…. Then we have Lucien in the mix and seeing a different side of him. I seriously can’t get enough. The spice in this one is so hot, hot, hot! There is so much that happened and especially the end that had me screaming. I never saw that coming at all! I have so many emotions going through me right now. I need the next book now! I’m so addicted to this series and never want it to end!

ARC review

I finished this book last night but needed time to process it and write my review. I gave it 3 stars, good book would recommend.

I loved the first two books in this series and was excited to read the 3rd one! I liked the storyline and character growth of Jo in this book as she continues to learn her powers.

Things I wasn't a fan of.....Jo sleeping with ALL the male leads AND them being ok with it! Definitely 🌶🌶🌶🌶 and read the trigger warnings.

Final thoughts - It was a good book and I will continue the series as it comes out as I want to see what happens to everyone.

I was given the privilege to be an ARC reader for this book and let me say…what an emotional rollercoaster book three took me on. I thought the cliffhanger on book two was bad….this one broke my heart! I didn’t know how much I loved and cared for Lucien until the very end. I don’t want to say much and spoil the series for anyone….but please read go read it! This was definitely my favorite book out of the series and I can’t wait to read the next adventure Jo and her supernatural family has to go through to save Lucien.

[Mistie A'Hearn · Rating 5 out of 5]

DEFINITELY read Volumes 1 & 2 first…
Volume 3 is a wild ride through the streets of New Orleans, where supernatural beings and spicy romance heat up the pages like gumbo in a pot. Set against the backdrop of the Big Easy, this book hooks you from the get-go. The chemistry between the characters? Let's just say it's hotter than a Cajun summer. If you're into supernatural smut with a side of sass, Volume 3 is your next guilty pleasure. Five stars? Hell yeah!

I received this book as an arc reader. This whole series has kept me on the edge of my seat and this book is no different.
Jo is finally coming into her own and standing her ground which I LOVE! This book has a lot of character development, hurt, and spice!
I can’t wait for the 4th book to come out.

[Xenocide91 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jolene, Azrael, and Vehric create a spicy trio in this vampire-supernatural romance masterpiece! The chemistry between the characters is ever evolving, and the plot is a thrilling dance between passion and Jolene’s new found trials. Taye does it again with skillful storytelling and makes every page a delicious blend of suspense and spice.

[Lilylou426 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely amazing! The ability to keep a reader on the edge of their seat throughout three books, with them still chomping at the but for more, is a skill not everyone can claim. This author however, Absolutely exudes this skill in spades!!

[Michelle McCarver · Rating 5 out of 5]

WHY???!!!!!

The times I found myself yelling this at my book and then speed reading to find out what happens next!!! 🙈

And the spiciness volume was definitely turned up 🥵 😍

Amazing installment in this series. Cannot wait to read book 4 when it comes out!!

[Emily Scott · Rating 5 out of 5]

It just continues to build and become more intense. Omg it’s so good. The writing is beautiful, the plot is amazing, and it all blends in so well. Can’t wait for the next one (hopefully there’s one). Quite frankly also, I’ve developed a crush on Lucien 😍

[Kennedy Butler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Taye Steele is a queen of ending a book to break my heart and want more.

Touché Miss Steele. Touché.

[Rachael · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely fantastic. Love the spice and plot. Keeps getting better and better. 10/10 definitely recommend.

[Chloe · Rating 5 out of 5]

I would sell my soul for this series. I didn't think this could get better, but I was absolutely wrong. Taye has outdone herself with this series. The strength and development of the characters in this series are unmatched. I love this series more than I can put into words.

[Theresa Lambe · Rating 5 out of 5]

I...hmmm.....wow. that’s...a lot to unpack! And just.. yeah.

So...that cliffhanger...sucked...and yet...didn't. And the knife? I didn't quite think about it until the right time. But the death in this one...made me cry. Like...not fair. But the love....was so amazing.

I don't know if I love it...or want to scream. Maybe both? It’s the third part to this epic tale and I'm still no closer to understanding what makes up Jo. Actually...a little bit of everything. She is the badass magical mutt....and I love her.
