About the author

K. A. Riley is a writer of speculative and science fiction, dedicated to creating worlds just different enough from our own to be entertaining, intriguing and a little frightening all at once. For Riley, writing isn't a job. It's a laboratory where readers can wander into a land of ideas; it's a playground where they can scamper around, giggling, gasping, and freaking out to their hearts' content.

Riley is the top-secret pen-name of a NYT and USA Today best-selling author.

Back on track

Much better and kept me interested all the way through. I read this quickly because it was much more entertaining than the previous book and I hope it remains that way through the conclusion. Looking forward to the next one!

K.A. Riley never disappoints!

Such a great read! I always enjoy K.A. Riley's books, but this series is probably my favorite. I took a break to read another one of hers (which I also loved!), but I was so excited to get back to it. I'm so invested in Bastian and Soleia's story, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Running Out Of Time ⌛️
I just didn’t really enjoy this one at all. I liked the beginning of the series with Shara and Thorne but honestly just don’t like Soleia and Bastian and now don’t really care what happens 😂 I know there’s another book, but I think I’m just going to skip it.
Soleia + Bastian
With the world seemingly on her shoulders, time is running out but Soleia has just enough bad decisions left to make to really drag this one out. 😂
Have you read this one yet? What did you think?

K.A. Riley has done it again- I've absolutely fallen in love with this fantasy series. I eagerly await the next book in this series because I need to find out what happens to these characters next!

The fact that each of these books builds up the world further we also get to enjoy other characters taking the lead. I'm excited to see what comes next!

This series started off MEH but it is really developing. Still gets me sometimes with stupid character choices, but isn't that life?! :)

This book redeemed the series for me! I enjoyed the twists and turns and am looking forward to the new book. I appreciate that all the characters in the series are involved now.
