The pacing in this book was strong and way better than the previous one. There was a lot of sunshine and rainbows for a bit, which of course, we knew definitely wasn’t going to last.
We get some more brutality in here as the war for Tempest continues, which is honestly not surprising or as intense as it had been in previous books.
We still have the villains we love to hate, and boy do we ever hate them. Absolute scum those two.
I am so here for Ryker and Ellory and their love, it is so pure and wholesome. You can feel how much they care for each other, protect each other and help centre each other. Whenever they are struggling, the other picks up on it and helps to pick them back up and feel better. The classic nothing is stronger than true love is definitely in play here but it’s not done in a cheesy way.
Tucker is still absolute perfection, Callan is great, and of course, Scarlet is always a cherry on the sundae throughout the book.
There’s a good mix of comic relief and heartwarming moments to offset the more violent ones.
Omg it’s heating up in Tempest!!!! So much happening in and around the revenant woods, Ellory has everything under control.. maybe but hey she has strong support and she has the best partner in Ryker even during times when he is not right by her side he is still her strength. Tempest won’t just survive this, Tempest will thrive.
A Tempest of Monsters delivers nonstop action and intensity from beginning to end. The pacing never really lets up, with high stakes, brutal confrontations, and moments that keep you completely spellbound. Every chapter seems to raise the tension just a little higher, making it hard to put down.
Ryker and Ellery are a standout pairing. Their connection brings both strength and vulnerability to the story, and watching them face impossible odds together makes their relationship even more compelling. They balance each other well, and their determination to protect what matters adds real emotional weight to the chaos around them.
This book definitely leans into darker and more brutal territory at times, but it never feels hopeless. There’s always a thread of resilience running through the story, especially with the presence of the Reverent Woods and the sense that good still has powerful allies. That balance between darkness and hope keeps the story gripping all the way through.
If you enjoy fantasy that combines relentless action with emotional stakes and characters you can root for, this one is a strong installment. I’m eager to see where Ryker and Ellery’s fight leads next. 🌲⚔️✨
Following the absolute mayhem of the last book in this amazing series, Ellery, Ryker and their merry band of rebels have been forced further into hiding but refuse to completely abandon their brethren. In order to stick it to Ryker’s father, the reigning aristocratic jerk, they plan another ambush and robbery, but things don’t go as expected. Despite all of the obstacles, they continue to encourage all Amsirah to cling to hope that they can be victorious and regain freedom and peace in the realm. Hands are forced and some things come to light that may be better off still hidden in the shadows. How far does one go to protect themselves and their loved ones without losing a piece of themselves or becoming a monster as a consequence? Never a dull moment as Brenda sends you through an awesome journey full of twists and turns, as well as some comedic moments that lighten the mood, always keeping you guessing and wanting to know what’s going to happen next…
How does one recover from this book and wait for book 7? Brenda K Davies what have you done to me? I have been with you from the beginning and each time I say the stories just keep getting better. You write like no other. Your world building is incredible. So here we are back at Tempest with everything going to hell. The survival of Ellery, Ryker and crew is paramount to tilt the scales and right tempest. What could possible go wrong? So many twists and turns guiding us in a direction we never see coming but know is lingering right around a tree. And Farley! Who doesn’t love this poltergeist. The battle for Tempest grows and the Duke has got one too many tricks up his sleeve. Jeez this was one heck of a rollercoaster ride that has left me dangling in the air. Wait until 2026 for book 7. I’m not sure I’m going to be patient. 😂 Love this world and characters.
I loved this trip into Tempest. While it wasn't the smuttiest in the series, the high stakes action kept me on the edge of my seat. You should have heard me swear at the end of the book. While I know they are all destined to end with a cliff-hanger, I still end up too involved to notice how close I am to the end. Ellery and Ryker fighting for the same cause but separate from one another was different from the other books. Previously we were able to see the same story from different POV, where this book left us with only one side of the story and they weren't able to be a check and balance for one another. Showing us how much growth each has gone through.
Ryker and Ellery have bonded their love and powers together, becoming stronger than they imagined. The evil they are facing will demand much of them and the others under the rule of Ryker's sadistic father and his minions. What options are open to them to fight for their freedoms?
Tempest of Monsters is another page turning addition to the series, filled with searing hot romance, vile wrongness, strong characters, and a variety of monsters. Prepare to be immersed in the continuing tribulations of Ellery and Ryker as they fight against the wickedness in their realm and their efforts to set right the kingdom.
This series just gets better and better! A definite must read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The band of Robin Hooders are trying to fight the horrendous Duke and aristocrats for their beloved Tempest anyway they can. And now even the poltergeist are helping and enjoying every minute. This book in the series is an emotional one which makes you feel right along with the characters. Brenda's writing takes you right into each book and it becomes a real page turner that's hard to put down. A definite must read series!!
A Tempest of Monsters is a rollercoaster of a ride! If you love adventure, romance, mystery, and an all around good time this book is for you! Ellery shows her strength and determination to save and protect the ones she loves. Hopefully, her decisions won’t come back and destroy what her, Ryker and the others are working so hard to preserve. Take flight and sit back and enjoy the ride A Tempest of Monsters takes you on. Brenda really knows how to bring the story and characters to life. Such a wonderful read and can hardly wait for the next book!
Well, thanks Brenda, I now want a gargoyle. My very own gargoyle. 😊 But, on to my review. I think this was my favorite in all the books so far. The action, constantly saying oh my goodness, covering my eyes. In a good way. Ellery is still a badass. I love her spunk and her love for Ryker and most especially her love of family. Only part is I have to wait, oh noooo, for the last book to see how it ends. Rykers father, will he get what he deserves????? Crossing my fingers. I highly recommend this!!!
A Tempest of Monsters, Tempest of Shadows book 6 is an adventurous ride!!!! Ellery shows her determination to save and protect the ones she loves. Ryker and Ellery have bonded their powers becoming stronger than anticipated. They still face a great amount of evil with Ryker's father and continue to work together to defeat him.
This book was filled with suspense, action, hot romance, amazing characters, and Monsters. Prepare yourself to let Brenda take you on a journey that you won't forget and leave you wanting more!!!
The 6th book of the Tempest of Shadows Series is filled with excitement and adventure from the very first page. It is fantastic to see Ellery's character growth. I am really happy that the poltergeists get to have some "fun" as well... But that's probably just my little "psycho" side grinning with glee 😁 This book is most certainly another well written addition to the series. I am so very much looking forward to the next installment.
Oh the plot thickens. The twists and turns in this book leave you on the edge of your seat. I screamed, shouted and damn near chucked my kindle. Ellery and Ryker continue their journey to bring the Duke down but hurdles keep knocking them back. Ellery descends down a path to try and save Tempest. Will it be the right one? Loved every page. Can’t wait for the next instalment.
Another incredible chapter in the Tempest series! Brenda never disappoints and this book is no exception. The rebels are in more danger than ever and the nobles are becoming bolder and bolder. And the monsters noted in the title are just as crazy as you’re used to seeing from Brenda and her wild imagination. I swear I say this every time but I don’t know how they’re going to get out of this latest pickle they’re in. I can’t wait for the next book!
Can you say roller coaster ride?!?! This one is full of surprises! There is so much to take in with this book that it is hard to write this review without giving anything away. Brenda had me turning pages faster than I ever have before to see what is going to happen. There is a war coming and I can’t wait to see what Ellery and Ryker do next. Things that happen is this series is as much heartbreaking as it is heart stopping! Tempest will never be the same again.
I am so cooked! Like literally, put a fork in me I. AM. DONE! 😮💨
This book had me from page one. I couldn’t put it down. We’re on yet another amazing journey filled with twists and turns you don’t see coming. The witty banter between the cast of characters never fails to elicit some good laughs. As the battle for Tempest grows, Ryker and Ellery drive forward for the survival and freedom of their people.
It kept me spinning & anxious throughout the book. I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to start on the last book. At times, when I became so stressed while reading, I would have to stop, walk a bit & take in a few deep breaths to be able to continue. So, yes, it was fantastic with the twists & turns, the characters & especially the story. Needless to say, I loved every word.
A Tempest of Monsters is book 6 of Brenda K. Davies' Tempest of Shadows series. Hell hath no fury like that of a person in love that's been denied the one they crave. The twist and turns in this book will keep you reading straight through to the last page. Waiting for book 7 to release will be difficult for everyone who's falling in love with the characters of Tempest.
The internal monologue is getting to my nerves, it is endless and repetitive. I counted 3 repetitions of the same thought within like 2 minutes of listening. Completely unnecessary unless you're just trying to fill pages to sell more books. Seriously? 7 books to tell one story? Lucky for the author there is nothing better out there that I haven't read yet. But this was a disappointment after reading the Bridge Kingdom series with its fast pace and non-stop content, no fluff like here.
I absolutely loved this book. Once I started reading it, it was impossible to put it down. Without giving away anything of the story, I loved how the characters are evolving and how "side" characters are also getting their chance to shine. Brenda K Davies's writing is always spot on and Tempest of Monsters does not disappoint. I am so looking forward to the next one!
What an amazing book and addition to the series!! Ellery and Ryker, I so love them together! This book kept me on the seat of my pants and left me wanting so much more! There were ups and downs and I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster! Brenda does not disappoint and I cannot wait until the next one!

What can I say about book 5, A Tempest of Monsters has some fabulous monsters that Ellery must bring into the fold. This is the next dramatic instalment of drama and intrigue in Tempest. Brenda leaves you wanting more and scrambling to see when the next book comes out, because you can’t hardly contain your excitement and anticipation. I for one am counting down the days!
Leading a resistance isn't easy work but the Duke must be stopped.. Ryker, Ellery, and all those they are trying to protect will face challenges even they did not predict. Action galore in this new intense chapter for the people throughout the realm. Will they finally find the key to saving them all?
Best romantic fantasy ever! I want more, lots more!!!
The Robin Hood twist is perfect! From the first word of the first chapter to the last word of the last chapter I was completely hooked! Never wanted to put down any of the books! I stayed up very late at night reading because I could not put it down. I've never er read a story so adictive. I love love love the whole series!!
The suspense of how Ellery will prevail and get to Ryker will have you on edge. Ryker and his hate for his father, will it be the end or just a beginning of a nightmare? Will the long needed trust come back to Nottingham? This book is a must read, that is the only way to find the answers. Each twist and the suspense of the unknown makes you want yo read faster to get to the answers.
A Tempest of Monsters! This amazing series, when you think it couldn't get any better, Brenda goes does it again with another outstanding book! I love A Tempest of Monsters and you will also. #Ellerykicksass
