Nyrielle’s Protector: A Faery Shifter Romance
Princess. Rebel. Heir to a realm forgotten by time.
Nyrielle of the Fae has lived her life caged, beneath her father’s rule, behind enchanted barriers, and bound by expectations she never asked for. But deep in her soul, a fire stirs. Dreams of freedom, of revenge, and of a stranger whose voice calls to her across worlds.
Elijah is a sworn Protector, chosen by The Mother to defend Earth’s realm from supernatural threats. None more dangerous than the exiled Fae King. But when visions of a teal-winged woman begin to haunt his sleep, Elijah finds himself pulled into a prophecy that stretches far beyond duty.
She's forbidden. He's bound by oath. But The Mother has a way of rewriting the rules and forging her strongest bonds in the unlikeliest of hearts.
Romantic, rebellious, and steeped in ancestral magic, Nyrielle’s Protector is a Black fantasy romance where found family, soul-deep bonds, and unapologetic power reign supreme.

This wrapped up one of my favorite paranormal series EXQUISITELY. I didn’t really need ginger sex scenes lol like sorry I get why it’s there I just don’t care for them. Only because it was so much to do and see lol so I was like now why we in here with her and the gang? Overall I’m sad it’s all over and I’ll probably go back and re read Zahara & Malachi’s story cus they were my favorite couple. I do wish the author added a family tree cus I’m sorry I can’t keep up with all them dang kids Ginger got. I do hope we get some Mermyn stories but yeah this was a good one

The Glue to the beginning
This book was the glue to the first three books. So you have to read them first. NO SPOILERS HERE!!! But I will say, you will understand the entire series better once you start from the beginning. I love a good tie in together book. A good come around book ☺️ and the way ms. Knight added the mer people omg 😱 was everything to me being a Pisces ♓️ now I will say at the end she added a little Bit more of the mer people story, so maybe 🤔 she will have a read for them in the future I don’t know 🤷🏾♀️ fingers crossed 🤞🏾 tho.

Loved this Series
Omg this was one epic journey, the characters and the storyline was amazing although I still feel like I'm missing out on some of the characters not being mated and I need them to be. (I know selfish right 🤷🏾♀️) I appreciated the artwork the visuals were stunning. Kudos to the author and visual artist well done

Not your average shifter book
I admit it. I expected this to be your run of the mill shifter romance. Fated mate shifters meet, one of them screws up so badly they break up, some common challenge brings them back together, they have soul snatching sex, end up pregnant and they live happily everafter.
Right?
Wrong!
The plot starts off pretty typical, and I settled in for what I thought was a predictable plot. Boy, was i fooled! (Possible spoilers ahead)
Dreamings of fated mates lead one to seek the other. Only the journey requires a trip to another realm. This is where my expectations fell apart.
The author built a fully fleshed out alternate realm complete with well-built characters, plot points, and unexpected twists.
Ultimately, however, the heroes vanquish the twisted villain - who is REALLY unexpectedly twisted - win the day and have lots of good sex; even though (gasp) her desire not to get pregnant is honored by her mate (and the author).
This was just a really well-told story that drew on fantasy, shifter romance, and various themes of love, safety, bodily autonomy, and justice.
Well done!

Enjoyable
First I have to say, it took me weeks to start this book because of the length. But once I started reading, I realized that I was flying through the pages. This book is like 2 stories in one and worth taking time to read.
Now on to the couple. Elijah, whoa, he is that Alpha you want in your corner. He's all that and a whole meal. And Nyrielle, is no shrinking violet. She can mix it up with the best. I enjoyed their interactions and banter. The two are a force to be reckoned with and are up for any challenge. They are perfect together.
Everything about this book was good-- storylines, characters (old and new), interactions between characters, family vibes, everything.
The pictures were a bonus.

Great Series (The Protector's Claim)
Loved reading this 4-book series! I enjoyed how each of the main characters developed. The strength, vulnerability and tenacity of the female characters was everything. No damsels in distress here, lol. The patience, care, dominance, and protective love of their men are what so many women dream of having.
I enjoyed seeing characters from the prior books making "guest appearances" in the later stories....allowing everything to come full circle. I'm glad that Elijah was finally rewarded with his own mate and that Nyri was everything that Protector needed and wanted.
Can't wait to read the next adventure by September Knight. Keep 'em coming.

I really enjoyed Elijah and Nyrielle story, Nyrielle and her brother had been through a lot with the way their father was ruling. But when Nyrielle was having dreams of a man and it was Elijah, he came for her. I loved how patient Elijah was didn’t rush just was in the moment to get to know everything about his mate. I really enjoyed the action in the story had me on edge. Liked the ending of the life updates of the whole pack and what was going on.

Great Series
From the first book to the last, it’s a book you don’t want to put down until you’ve finished. September gives the characters depth and personality that’s appreciated and relatable. And, oh yeah, it’s steamy.

My Faves
I knew Elijah was going to be a big stepper, literally & figuratively! I really enjoyed learning about that fae, the merman, and the pixies. This was my favorite out of the series, they stole the spot from Zarah & Malichi. The ritual they performed was so beautiful, and seeing just how integral each pair is was lovely, making it a great way to end this series! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
