Tessa Don’t Miss

This book was just as much Redeeming Levi as it was Redeeming Nia. I loved how they both were so lost but found their ways in the end. Levi truly loved Nia, recognized his mistakes, and was willing to do anything to win her back, even if that meant getting on his knees and begging. And while Nia may have felt remorse for physically lashing out, just like Angie said, Olivia had that butt-whooping coming. Nia had every right to feel how she did. No one listened to her until it was too late and the poor thing just broke. I felt so bad for her.

I also loved all of the different dynamics, especially how Kane and Nia made up. Plus, Nicole is here to give Angie’s loud mouth a run for her money. Little Aya was another star of the show. She wasn’t scared of anybody lol

Tessa just does not miss. 4.5 ⭐️

I loved loved loved this book. I really like how all the sub stories of the other books get their story finished in their own book. I waited patiently for this one, Nia deserved better, and she did i know the author had a little bit of trouble with this one but i loved the theme i felt this book as the most "human" of all of them, the feelings, the frustration, the resentenment were 100% on point, i can say that the books are getting better. Now I can't wait to read the next boom with Nicole or with Damon or with the kids story, 😩 I really want to Read more about ths universe.

Tessa comes out swinging EVERY SINGLE TIME.

The perfect blend of spice, romance, action, and healing.

Nia’s story tells the imperfections and cracks within Wintermoon and the fated mates process.

I was here for it.

Forgiving Levi: 3 ⭐⭐⭐

I will repeat some of the sentiments I had while reading Forgiving Levi. Link above for anyone interested. Overall I appreciated how real this book was, just because you find your mate doesn't mean it's all roses and rainbows after. All relationships take work, even fated ones.

Nia & Levi
From the start I didn't like Nia, she was horrible to everyone. Also been saying for a while that Levi was not a good mate or alpha. I've been saying it since Jacob's book that he should be alpha. Everyone was so quick to push Nia's experience aside and just tell her to forget everything that happened. He dismissed her and told her to put her wants and needs aside for him to keep the peace and be the alpha. The whole pack was at fault for seeing how miserable she was and no one did anything, most of that responsibility is on Levi as her mate and the alpha. No one listened to her at all or asked about her pain, no one tried to understand her. I'm so glad Amir stepped in when no one else in her family had her back. I loved the hard truths that Amir told Levi, he put his wants and needs before what his mate's wants, needs, and happiness.

I'm glad she left and they took time for just themselves to build their relationship. It's hard to put the past behind you and just start over. I'm glad she made a friend outside of the pack that could help her navigate her feelings.

Olivia
I hate how no one called her out on her behavior she was a mean girl before and a mean girl now. Trying to force forgiveness when you want it just because she demands it. I'm glad that what happened really affected it and she didn't keep brushing it under the rug like her actions didn't have a huge impact on Nia's life. Olivia lashes out when she feels cornered or has to confront what she did. I wish we had seen some of the healing from her side, I wanted to see her have those moments of introspection. She really needs to work on herself and figure out why he goes radical sometimes. If anyone needs therapy it's her.

Jacob & Angie
I hate how so many people saw that Olivia was being a mean girl again and said nothing. Especially Angie, if you see abuse and say nothing then you are part of the problem. She really needs to work on being more integrated with the pack. She doesn't even know their customs or traditions. Amir is right she needs to do better and take her rightful place.

I know Jacob went through a lot and just got what he finally wanted a family. He doesn't want the responsibility of being alpha, he just wants to focus on being a dad and mate. However, it's not fair to Levi who sacrificed 1,000 being alpha when he didn't even want it. Part of being a family is taking the burden off others when it's needed. Especially as we could all see he couldn't juggle being an alpha and a mate at the same time. If you are the best candidate for the job then you need to step up even if you don't want it. I always felt that Jacob and Angie held themselves apart from the park, they are part of it but not really involved. I can't wait to see how the dynamics change.

Future
For so many books I've been saying people need to adopt some of the kids in the orphanage. I hope Leah and Kade adopt a kid at some point, they have so much love to give and they would be good parents. I know the vampires can't have kids, I'm interested to see how that goes. All the women fated to them will have to give up the idea of being moms.

I hope others in Wintermoon learn from Nia and Levi that sometimes you need to put yourself first if your family is not treating you well. It's okay to go heal and then come back to mend relationships. Wintermoon could really use some more professional doctors, nurses, therapists, etc. I can't wait for the university to be open. I would love to see more of the women of Wintermoon take up jobs and not just focus on being a mom. I want to see them contribute to the community in a bigger way.

Also, I've been asking for ages what is happening at the Witching Glen. When they got rid of black magic that would have had a huge impact on all the witches since that was what they used. I want to see Angie step and help them find a path forward.

For quite a few books I've been saying I want to see interspecies mates, we had some witches and shifters (Jacob & Angie/Hazel & Dominic). I want to see different shifter groups come together.

I want to start by saying: I love Tessa Stone’s books.
I’ve followed this series closely, drawn to the layered way she writes her characters.
I understood Nia’s pain, how she came into Wintermoon against her will.
Olivia (bullying her as a teenager) and Levi (bringing her to Wintermoon against her will and claiming her) were both wrong for how they treated Nia.

Where I got lost was that Nia’s arc became a loop of bullying others while being framed as the sole victim, across multiple books.
Tammy, Amir, and Angie’s perspectives faded to centre Nia alone.
Olivia’s sudden personality shift and “jealousy” motive felt hollow and forced.

Yes, Nia had a right to be upset, but physically hitting Olivia is serious.
And what made it worse was how there were no real repercussions for that violence.
Anora’s abrupt behaviour change in Healing Hazel felt just as out of place as Olivia's.

Hopefully, this is the last of Nia and Olivia's conflict being mentioned in other books.

Tammy, girl, you're so strong.

This was a really good read. I am glad that the author decided to add some more thought to explaining Nia storyline. I see her more now than ever. There are reason why people act the way they do, Nia just needed to find her voice and safe place to explain why all the built up anger towards the pack. I see her daughter Aya is dealing with some built up anger as well. Levi did his big one going to go get his mate ☺️ he left the pack and even drop his status just to get his woman back. When he built that tent ⛺️ on the side of her cabin, that took me out 😅 but that only shows me that if a man 👨🏾 truly love ❤️ s you he will. This book 📖 has taught me some things I needed to look 👀 more into. But for now, I’m glad 😌 Nia and Levi got there beautiful ending. Til next time winter ❄️ moon 🌙

Ow and their daughter is fainted to a 🐲🐉

Big Crashout!

Babyyyy all I have to say that was an ass whooping in the making hunni and she ain't do enough in my opinion. I was screaming hit that b**ch again!
If you still got issues with Nia, you need some help because honestly I don't know how people still did not like her after Forgiving Levi. That lady went through too much and it's such a shame things had to escalate like it did for people to finally give a damn about Nia's feelings.
Levi definitely one of them that I side eye for all the mess he's done to Nia but he truly does the work for redemption which I appreciate.
I am excited to see the story shifting to the pups but I'm not gonna lie it will be awkward to see the babies moving into womanhood or manhood and start families like lawd I'm not ready!

👏🏾👏🏾¡BRAVA!👏🏾👏🏾 ¡BRAVAA!!👏🏾👏🏾

Levi and Nia’s story was a longtime coming since they were introduced in Kane and Tami’s book. It was well worth the wait!
Tessa Stone put her heart and soul into these two books and made this couple—who began tragically—into a wonderful example of what marriage, love, partnership, and friendship should emulate.

The heartache was well-worth the newfound strength, freedom, and peace they found with each other! Such a great story and I want Tessa Stone to know how much her willingness to delve into the messiness and complexities of love and tell it ALL!

Good Bad or Indifferent! That is the mark of an incredible storyteller!

I enjoyed the adventure 🖤♥️🖤♥️ Keep ‘em coming!!

Nia Redeemed?

This is the question that I wondered when I was getting ready to read this book. Well, I would say yes. We find out a lot about her & also the dynamics of the pack when everything goes left. Why that happens is a spoiler that I will not divulge. What does happen needed to happen because the pack was struggling under the weight of sparky niceties that ignite once a confrontation occurs. The dutiful father, King Amir, in his intimate wisdom, makes sure to gently guide the House of Zorah to where they need to be in order to thrive for generations.

no longer annoyed with Nia

Tessa did a great job bring Nia to peace. I was so annoyed with Nia after finishing the last book. However, this one took a deep dive and broke down her struggles and I get it. Everything was piled onto her back to back. She barely had time to come to terms with anything before she ran into something new.

Happy she got her happy ending. I do feel like Olivia deserved more than a few punches. She’s a real weirdo fr.

I so happy Nia was able to do some self healing from the pack, I also love how Levi was so supportive in putting everything aside and making sure his family and mate was safe and comfortable. I’m happy she was able to heal from past trauma and try to make things work on own time with Olivia as well. Also happy Levi and Nia were able to work out their differences in their relationship. She definitely deserved her happily ever after! 🔥

I’m so happy for Nia and Levi! I enjoyed the growth of these two characters. Their journey has been long and extremely bumpy. It felt good to see them finally process and work through their trauma, mend relationships, and find themselves again. Seeing them do it together gives so much hope for others dealing with similar circumstances. The happy ended, with continued growth, was great to see!! Loved this!!

Finally true healing for Levi and Nia

I liked the journey of healing between Levy and Nia, but the repetitiveness really took away from the story. As well as the conflicting attention to detail. It felt at times as if the author rushed to release this story and needed a word count based on some of the unnecessary descriptions that really did not contribute to the story. But all in all, not a bad book.

Yes Yes Yes!

I absolutely loved the deep dive into Nia and Levi’s relationship! All the brokenness needed to be expressed to make way for true healing. The full involvement and acknowledgement of the pack for their missteps was so great to see! Nia was done dirty more than a few times and it needed to be acknowledged by all! I can’t wait to read the other new ones! This read like a movie!

a story of redemption

The name of the book is redeeming Nia, but this book also redeemed Levi for me. Please note, He’s still not my favorite shifter in the wintermoon universe. But this story was just really insightful. The character development, the storytelling. And what I love about Levi and Nias story is that it really brings about a realness. Wintermoon is a paradise for many, but it is a prison. I’m glad Nia finally got what she needed and deserved.

Nia and Levi

I love their story of finding each other again. Realizing that one does not have to always sacrifice and can find happiness because they deserve it. Letting someone else take over really is about strength. Old beliefs can be reconstructed not just for them but for those in their world. Thanks for writing this story as it has been food for thought.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Tessa did it again! I was always curious of Levi and Nia's backstory and this didn't disappoint. I love how real their redemption story was for both of them, and how we didn't get a perfect "Happily Ever After" and I was good with that, it made the story more real and relatable. This also moved the story of Winter moon forward and I'm ready for the Academy Stories nexf!

Beautiful and satisfying conclusion

I wasn’t sure I needed a part 2 of Levi and Nia but so glad Tessa knew better LOL This was a VERY satisfying read with its bumps and lumps and even a “the journey continues” ending btwn Nia and Olivia. Absolutely loved it and looking forward to getting into Aya’s story.

Nia’s Redemption

This story was awesome. It gave me a better understanding of why Nia behaved the way she did in the other books. It also shared an intimate look into Levi’s life and how their relationship came to be. Great story.

Tessa, I ❤️ these stories!! You keep writing ✍️ and I'll keep reading 📚. I'm glad Nia has Nicole as a new friend 🧡. I wonder who's Nicole fated too. Levi has become a better man to Nia. Aya and Amos are gonna be something else, watch.
