This series started out promising but slowly started to decline. This series had plot and then lost it to smut. The plot was rushed because it seemed like every chapter had to have sex. It was so much smut I started skipping. I felt ripped off with how rushed the story was wrapping things up.

A good ending

Overall, this series was a lot of fun. I loved Maya and how she grows without losing who she truly is. Her mates are fantastic as well. They certainly have more than their fair share of challenges to get through as a group, but they do get their happy ending.

For the series as a whole - I wish there had been a final edit as there are many typographical errors across the five books. Annoying as they are, they don’t detract from the story thankfully.

the best PNR academy romance

Ugh, I’m obsessed with this series, I have been since the first book came out and it’s bittersweet to see it end.

I LOVE ENZO. I realize he’s a bully and terrible but he’s also just the sweetest prince and I hope we will see him make an appearance on another of Allie’s books down the line.

The redemption arc here is fire. Maya doesn’t get mad, she gets brutally even. And then because she’s an absolute angel, she is devastated by her own actions. I just love these quirky, funny, violent characters so much and I’m so happy they finally got their happily ever after and the bad guys got what was coming to them.

As always, I can’t wait for whatever Allie Santos does next. This series deserves so many more stars.

Some loose ends

I want to say I loved everything about this book, but I would be lying if I did. I was happy up until the final confrontation with Osmodus. Without giving spoilers, I felt it was over and done too quickly and easily. Things were left unclarified as to what happened to the academies, and who would be running them? Who is in charge since the heads of the families are not? If the UB basically police the Unatural community, who do they answer to? I get that Tanner has money to back the UB and hold sway, but it's not said that he is in charge of how it's run. I have so many questions, and I think a series should end with no loose ends. Therefore, I only gave this book 4 stars.

Overall it was an o-k series. I would say this book leans more to a 2.5⭐️ then a solid 3 for me though. The first two books in the series were pretty solid but after that it kinda becomes a discombobulated mess (that wrapped up quickly, the big bad 'powerful' guy seemed to be killed off quite swiftly haha). Not sure the purpose of adding Helens side POV story as even her arc was wrapped up really quick. Maya had also kinda lost all her charm and TBH... I just found myself not caring 🥲
But at least it was entertaining haha 🤷‍♀️

Too much smut for me

I enjoyed this series and since this is a new author to me I was pleasantly surprised.

I love bully rh and this series hit the spot. While this last installment had the bad guy getting what he deserved it was interspersed with 50 shades of grey smut. I hated that waste of paper and while I didn't hate this book I did find myself skimming alot. Felt like it was 60% smex scenes and 40% actual storyline.

Doesn’t live up to the rest of the series

Not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed in this ending.

Not that it didn’t give everyone what they deserved, but it just didn’t fit the vibe of the rest of the story. It plodded, half of the wrap up chapters felt like afterthoughts. Like the author said “Oh! And this is what happened to so and so!”

Still great writing, but the development wasn’t there.

Overall it was a fun series. Author is still on the green list.

the best of the series

I absolutely loved this book. Lots happen in the final book. Some sad endings for others and happy endings for most. I love the guys and Maya and sad that it’s over. I hope Maya and her guys make an appearance in future books. Love Beckett, but the other three are just as lovable.

This series is for sure one of my tops and best I've read! I absolutely loved the ending to this series! Brilliant writing and phenomenal character development! The characters grew so beautifully from books 1 to 5, and it was great to read! We were done dirty with the loss of a few characters, but their sacrifices played such a crucial role in Maya becoming who she was meant to be!

Wickedly good series

This final book in the series was absolutely full of bloody fighting scenes and gore. It also had some sweet (for them lol) scenes, smoking hot ones quite literally. The final battle was well written. The characters all had amazing growth. Especially concerning the triplets, made my heart happy.

like family

What a fantastic series! I loved every second of it. First time reading this author and I’m glad that the series peaked my interest. Going to read more of her books.
I’m sad this is the end of the series, it would be really great if there was a spin off, maybe about the 3 kids they adopted or her friends.

Loved!!

I am so sad that this series is over. It was so good and I loved everything about it. I can't believe it is not all over tiktok. It needs more attention so that more people can enjoy it as much as I did. I will definitely be re-reading. I can't wait to read more from this author.

This series started off good. Was enjoying it, until I wasn’t. Book 4 and 5 should’ve just been 1 book. Why choose is my favorite type of books to read as long as all guys are treated the same, meaning she spends time with all of them equally, especially the sexy time. Well this FMC didn’t do that so I started to get irritated with her.

Nice!

What a ride! Books 3 and 4 were pretty rough but the last made it all worth it. I enjoyed the characters and Enzo is my new favorite male lead. Haha. Thanks for the adventure!

Loved it!

What a terrific ending...
Everything was nicely wrapped up, and everyone got their happy ever after!
(Those who deserved it anyway)
I didn't like the first 2 books at all because I really disliked the guys.
Glad I stuck with it though..
Highly recommend!

This was the perfect ending to Mayas story action packed smut filled humorous with a touch of romance and some minor angst.

Not sure

For me this one seemed a little all over the place. It just wasn’t a seamless story line. Plus the dragon thing weirded me out.

🖤🐺🐉✨ Wicked Beasts by Allie Santos ✨🐉🐺🖤
(final Moretti Academy book)

Bittersweet doesn’t even begin to cover it!! My beloved Moretti Academy series has come to an end, and I’m feral, ruined, and SO satisfied.

Maya’s journey has been brutal, bloody, and breathtaking from the very first book, but THIS? This finale was the crown jewel. Redemption. Betrayal. Brutality. Love so obsessive it borders on destructive. And a heroine who refuses to break... even when she wants to.

What you’ll find in this finale:
🩸 A savage redemption arc that made me scream
🐉 Mate bonds tested to the breaking point
🐺 Obsession + devotion = feral MMC energy
🔥 Maya’s evolution into full monster QUEEN
💔 Violence, vengeance, and a HEA that HITS

Enzo. My twisted, sweet, brutal prince, you own me. Maya. My goddess of blood and survival, you destroyed me. Together with her wicked beasts, this finale delivered EVERYTHING I’d hoped for and more.

Allie Santos, you ended this saga in the most unhinged, unforgettable way possible. I’ll be thinking about Maya and her beasts forever. 🖤
