The Queen's Reign

Return of The Banshee Queen #3

When you've survived your own dungeon, torture, and a crazy madman, only to be thrown into something even more crazy... what do you do?

𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙚.

I was scared of her at one time, but my Banshee is now like a warm soft blanket to me.
Home.
A part of me I will never let go.
But for the people trying to take my kingdom and subjugate my people?
She is vengeance and d3ath.
Her screams will not be silenced.

Queens Reign (Return of The Banshee Queen Trilogy Book 3) By Ravin DeMarco is a reverse harem paranormal novel. I have been waiting for this series finale for awhile. It was everything I wanted and more. Ravin DeMarco has done a fabulous job with this series and brought it to one grand conclusion. This is definitely a book you need to read the first two books prior to this one.
The queen has returned and she has the support of her harem of men, family, friends and people. This book is packed full of so many twists and turns as they prepare for the final showdown. There is time for a lot of delicious chemistry, fun banter, and bonding. Of course it is not all fun and games as they deal with the past and what’s to come.
The world building is great as we get a glimpse of the author’s imagination. I really enjoyed this book and series! Great job Ravin DeMarco!

Perfect ending to this series!! I felt like it wrapped up everything pretty well. Nyx is still amazing, she's a bad@$s and she's everything I would like to be. Her man are soo 😍😍. They love her so much and are always supportive and always have her back no matter what.

For a group of 6 people that are in a relationship with each other its amazing to me how no one was left out. They all work so well together it was unbelievable. They all had good chemistry and there was plenty of love to go around.

I found the book to be a short read but I liked that cause it got straight to the point. A couple of stuff happened that had me shocked to my core. Some almost had me crying while others had my heart melting. A lot of action in this one. Was entertained from page one. All I wanted was for Nyx to finally defeat the bad guys and have her HEA and the author didn't disappoint.

Im a little hurt/mad about something that happened almost at the end. My babies deserved better. But overall this was a really good conclusion to Nyx and her mens story. Now I'm super excited to get into sorchas story!!

An epic conclusion to Return of the Banshee Queen Trilogy! Let me just start with: y’all will need lots of tissues and chocolate… just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️
So as we know Nyx is a bad@ss and her mates are too. Out there fkkn sh!t up…. Taking names and kicking @ss 😄 she really comes into her own and embraces her role as queen bad@ss in this book!
We also get to see Sorcha and her men doing lots of cool stuff too. Love them. Love all of them. Ugh I’m just so in love right now ok.
It makes my heart happy to see Nyxie and her mates get their happily ever after.
And I fkn love Sorcha, she’s definitely bestie goals….
Ravin really has a talent for bringing these characters to life and making us fall in love with all of them! I will definitely be re reading this series! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the ending of The Banshee Queen Trilogy. It's a why choose romantasy. I have loved this series. This book picks up where the last one left off. Nyx decides not to fight against her fate and defends the kingdom with her found family. I love all her guys, and I honestly don't think I could pick a favorite! We get lots of steamy in this book, along with an amazing plot. I am only sad that this is the end! I really am so happy that Nyx and her guys got their HEA, but I don't want it to be over yet. Maybe Ravin will do a short novella sometime in the future....one can hope anyways.

The perfect ending to a wonderful series.

I really enjoyed this last book in the series. All the characters have been awesome, and I was kept on my toes throughout the story. I never quite knew what was going to happen though I guessed many times. I definitely recommend this series to everyone that enjoys a very exciting, spicy, sexy story.

[Brandy Turman · Rating 5 out of 5]

We rejoin Nyx and her guys for the final book in their series as they fight for the freedom of their kingdom. Nyx has jumped into the world of magic and decided not to fight fate. Com along as they fight for the freedom of their kingdom while strengthening their own bonds.

What an ending

Wow what an ending! I have loved the world building from the beginning and this third and final book did not disappoint. Nyx and her guys finally get their HEA. We also finally got a couple group spicy scenes. I knew they would be steamy and it did not disappoint. This was a great series and I hope Sorcha’s story is next.

[Shana Roszko · Rating 5 out of 5]

My favourite parts were when she got her crown, the inbetween and what happens there, all the spicy scenes, how close her and family/ friends are and how she can bond with people besides her mates.

There was only one part i didn't like at the end because it made me cry so much 😭. Definitely need more books 🥰

As a self professed lover of all things spoilers my pouty face was legendary when ravin 🤐 When I begged for answers.

The conclusion to this story was amazing. Get your tissues ready because they will be needed.

[StephF Ilysei_reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

The stunning and epic conclusion to the Banshee Queen tale. We already knew Nyx was the greatest, but this book really took it up a notch. Picking up right after the gut wrenching cliffy from the last book, we get to see Nyx give fate the middle finger and fight for everything she wants.

Ravin DeMarco writes an utterly brilliant tale and the conclusion was the cherry on top. You laugh, cry, scream and need a shower ;) but utterly loved this story and its conclusion.

[Kathryn · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a conclusion !!!! Nyx is accepting her fate and is kicking butt while doing it. Her and her mates have a wild ride of a journey to their HEA. It has been an incredible build up in this series and it does not disappoint!

[Janene Hols · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the best ending possible

This is the final book in the trilogy and is a page turner.

Nyx has been through a lot in her 25 yrs and so has her people. Overcoming death and figuring out her new powers to finally letting Sorcha design a dress for her. But only if she can wear combat boots. Don’t forget her mates and the care and spicy time they share.

I recommend this to anyone 18+, of course, that likes the adventure and extra spice in their life.

A Queen Resurrected

The final battle to win the war between Nyx and her men and Mortimer and the Seelie King has begun, and it will take everything Nyx and her Banshee have to give. Will the strength and bond between Nyx and her family be enough to win the war?
Once again, Ravin Demarco has brought us a great adventure that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

I knew the minute I finished the second book I was gonna dive head first in this one and devour it! Ugh I did not want it to stop! Holy cow! I’m totally speechless and sad at the same time! I don’t wanna say bye to Nyx or her men!!! But all good things must come to an end!!! Excuse me while I cry in my little corner!!! This series is amazing and thank you Ravin for writing a series that has pushed me back into the arms of the fantasy world!!!!

[Manuela Molteni · Rating 5 out of 5]

They say all good things must come to an end, and The Queen’s Reign, the third and final installment of the Return of The Banshee Queen Trilogy by Ravin DeMarco, is no exception. If you devoured the first two books, you're probably dying to see what fate has in store for Nyx and her partners, their reign, and their family. Well, darling, buckle up, because Ravin DeMarco has delivered a fabulous conclusion that will leave you breathless.

This book is a rollercoaster ride packed with so many twists and turns, you'll be clutching your pearls. As Nyx and her crew prepare for the final showdown, there's plenty of room for delicious chemistry, playful banter, and deep bonding. But don't be fooled—it's not all fun and games. The gang has to confront the ghosts of their past and brace for what's coming.

Picking up right where the second book left off, Nyx is fully embracing her badass queen persona. With her mates by her side, she's out for blood, and they won't stop until their world is safe and their plan is executed to perfection. The tension is deliciously palpable, and DeMarco masterfully crafts every plot twist to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Will Nyx and her partners get their well-deserved happily ever after? Honey, you’ll have to dive into the book and experience it for yourself because I’m not about to spoil the epic conclusion DeMarco has woven so brilliantly. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed. This trilogy wraps up in a way that’s both satisfying and exhilarating, cementing The Queen’s Reign as a must-read in the fantasy genre. Get ready for a wild, unforgettable ride!

Prepare Yourself For The Banshee Queen 😈

OH BOY 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 That was how you end a trilogy! So much action, danger, sorrow, pain, passion, and SOOOOO MUCH love ❤️ We knew, after that ending in the 2nd book, that we were in for some shocking twists & turns, not to mention unexpected surprises, and Ravin definitely delivered 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Seeing Nyx & her guys fight for their HEA was everything I could’ve wanted, and even above & beyond what I was expecting. Watching Nyx truly own her strength & inner Banshee was the culmination of this whole journey that I had been waiting to see. Her character is truly magnificent, and one of my favorites this year because of her relatability. Even without her amazing mates, friends (Sorcha = #bestiegoals 😘) & family backing up the story so perfectly, the story would’ve been able to hold its own just with Nyx. She truly is that awesome 🫶🏼 You NEED to read this trilogy if you love contemporary whychoose romantasy stories with LOTS of twists & turns & balanced out with just the right amount of hot AF steam (including ⚔️)…just don’t forget the tissues 😭👀🤷🏻‍♀️😝💖

The third book in the series starts off where book two leaves off. This book was a tiny bit slower as we are trying to rebuild and prepare for a final battle. I will say there are some really big grab your tissue moments. Nyx is definitely growing in this one and we see it really well throughout the story. The guys are just as loving and protective as they have been throughout the series. We learn more about situations that definitely adds to the story. I love how strong Nyx is but yet has a heart of gold. We meet a few new characters and I absolutely love their addition to the story. Only one thing I wish was expanded on a bit more was the fighting. I would have like a little bit more with it. The story is extremely well written and developed. It definitely pulls you in and doesn’t let go. It has you on the edge of your seat. It is absolutely a must read and doesn’t disappoint.

[Wendy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the third book in this series and they must be read in order. This is a paranormal reverse harem with shifters and other types of beings. Since this is the 3rd book, the main characters have been united and know that they share a bond. The main female character, Nyx, has found out about a lot of the powers that she has as a banshee, but now she is faced with putting right what others have sought to tear apart. She really embraces her role as queen and it's fun to watch her morph into a buttkicking badass with the backing of her men and her family and friends.

It was great to see Nyx finally become her own person but still retain what made her a great character: everything she does is because she cares. She thinks about what could happen to others and wants the best outcome. Her love for those around her shines through and of course she wanted to keep all of them safe.

[Milena · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Queen’s Reign starts up right where book 2, The Banshee’s Chains, leaves off. Nyx has such a huge heart that everything she does conveys her desire to help all of her people. Nyx is an awesome character that you’d love to have in your corner to help with whatever is going on in life. If you’ve read book 1, The Raven’s Call, you’re in for a treat since questions that were raised in The Raven’s Call have been answered while also delivering yet more questions. I’m very excited that Raven will eventually be adding more books to this fantastic world that began in The Raven’s Call. Jump into reading about this awesome world that has been a blast devouring.

ALL HAIL THE QUEEN

An absolute brilliant, nail biting conclusion to The Return of the Banshee Queen series by Ravin DeMarco. After banishing Ravin to a corner for the ending of Book 2, this story kicks off, right where she left us gasping in shock. I was captured with how Nyx has been written as a fierce protector, loyal friend, devoted daughter and full of love, so relatable on many levels. The characters and world that was built is amazing and this story and whole series has evolved into a fantastic read. Well done Ravin on your first series.

[Donna Zug · Rating 5 out of 5]

The third book in this trilogy is just as strong as the others, even though the cliffhanger in book 2 was a doozy. Our Nyx is amazing in her growth and her new powers. All of her mates are so supportive and the steam is fan your face steam, so enjoy. Plot twists, danger, action, sadness, happiness and love - such an amazing end to this series. I love a HEA though it was hard to turn that final page.

[Sandra Sanches · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Epic ending of this triology,so many twists and turns that kept me on my toes until the perfect ending.There was even some tears.
Ravin DeMarco masterfully built the story in a crescendo to a peek where Nyx shows in all her badass glory,supported by her mates and friends.
Very good world building, a plot both immersive and intense but it's the characters that make this an unputdownable reading.
For those who love romantsy, this triology is perfect for you!

[Heidi LaGrone · Rating 5 out of 5]

This final book gave me everything I needed for a HEA, almost. Nyx and her found family have been through so much and this journey has made for seriously good reading. We get some serious steam among the perils, some heartbreak and finally happiness. Such a satisfying ending to a fantastic series!

[Dorothy Y Nunamacher · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the final stand! Be prepared to laugh, cry and scream nooooooo. Every question you have will be answered. It's the conclusion for these 6 amazing characters. But we will have more time with them in the next book. So sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy the ride.

[Juanita Mullens · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Nyx. Her men are amazing. Her friends and family are great. I really like Sorcha acting as queen, and love her men as well. Great steam, many tears. Loved it

good series

This has been a good series. Not gory and has a few 🌶️🌶️🌶️ scenes. It does have some repeating parts but has a good story line

[Deborah Varnado · Rating 5 out of 5]

We get Nyx and her mates back in this explosive final installment in the Banshee series. As always we have Nyx being the tough-as-nails boss witch with her mom, Sorcha, and her men and as always Nyx’s mates by her side for the final battle. Along with triumph sometimes there is tragedy but the one thing Ravin DeMarco has shown us throughout this series is that love and faith in family and friends can win any battle.

[Jackie Moore · Rating 5 out of 5]

So this one finally tells the rest of Nyx's story. After the brutal cliffhanger in the last book I was wondering where things were going to go in this one. And you aren't left wondering long. The story picks up pretty quickly and answers a lot of your questions. I love how Nyx finally embraces her Banshee. And I love her mates! This was definitely a steamy one with them! I also REALLY loved how Nyx has decided she isn't going to go by what future she is shown. She is going to blaze her own trail. Especially when it comes to the ones she loves! Loved the ending and I can't wait to see what is next!

[Kelley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome conclusion to the trilogy. It was unique and exciting.
I felt the final battle could have been a bit more epic. Just felt like it was over too quickly, especially considering what everyone had endured up to that point.
None of the twists felt forced or expected.
The spice was great. Less than I'm used to, but on par with the setting and plot of the book.
I'd love to see more of what happens after.
I'm gonna miss these guys.
