Fated In Forever: Nocturne Vampire Clan

Rate this book
A slayer turned queen.
A ruthless vampire king, a deadly warrior, and a monstrous nave…
Are all that stand between darkness and light.

I thought being turned into a vampire was the worst thing that could happen, then Ravok ripped open a gateway straight to hell.

Now we’re the only ones who can seal that portal closed and prevent our world from burning to ash. As our survival balances on the edge of a knife, I have to discover the true nature of Malachi’s monstrous transformation into a demi-god, and the soul-bond chaining us together.

Malachi Draven holds the key to winning this war, but he is hiding too many secrets—and has told too many lies—for anyone but me to trust. But I won’t stop fighting for the future I know we deserve.

Malachi has spent his life protecting me—
Now it’s my turn to save him.

Fated In Forever is the final book in the Nocturne Vampire Clan series and is a fast burn vampire romantasy with all the twists and turns of Quicksilver and ACOTAR, ending with a HEA.

Take it all, Vicious. Everything I have is yours. Me. This realm, my heart and my soul and my body.
Whoa!!! I honestly don’t know how to adequately put all of my thoughts and feelings into what the culmination of this book means… but let me try.

𝙎𝙮𝙣𝙤𝙥𝙨𝙞𝙨:
I’m not going to spend too much time on the plot. Like the previous two books, this one kicks off exactly at the end of the last, which is AMAZING because that cliffhanger at the end of Fated in Ruin killed me! We find Evie and Malachai basically stuck in Hell… or the underworld. Malachai is transforming into a giant demon god, and Evie has just jumped in the portal after him, leaving behind Blake and Riordan in the “real world” to deal with the little BIG problem that is Ravok, while the portal has been closed. So basically, the whole world has gone to shit, and our foursome need to find a way back to each other to make a plan to solve it!

𝙏𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙁𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨:
The first thing I loved about this is that L.A. McGinnis brings in characters from her universe to help. The boys who aren’t stuck in Hell find help in Ireland with Brendan, Nikolai, and Aisling.
Side note: I really want to pick up their story because even though I have their HEA spoiled… I AM INTRIGUED AND WANNA KNOW MORE!

ANYWAY... I absolutely loved the character journey Evie has gone through in these books. In this one, she grows into the Queen and Fighter she was always meant to be.
From being turned into a vampire, coming into her power, learning about her power, managing that power, needing to manage additional power, and managing three penis’s men… she really comes into her own. I loved her final form.

Blake and Riordan were kinda just “there.”
I felt like a lot of what they do or their POVs are not as prevalent as Evie’s and Malachai’s. But it makes sense, because Blake, Riordan, and Evie established their dynamic and relationship in Book 3. We already know they love each other, they just have to get back to each other.

This book is very much a culmination of how Evie and Malachai find their love, what that love means, and what they’re willing to sacrifice for each other... spoiler alert: it’s basically the whole world and their lives. It ALSO deals with how Malachai now fits into the little “threesome” now turned “four” and how the men, after a little peacocking and posturing, finally acquiesce because they love Evie. They’ll give her whatever she wants... and because she wants him, they accept him… begrudgingly.

Now Malachai… that man is such a self-sacrificing fucking idiot. Sometimes I just wish I could slap him silly. But it was also sweet how he became a lot more endearing in this. I mean, it’s weird to think that when he becomes a demon god, he’s actually more thoughtful and considerate, but he goes through a lot of acceptance and emotional growth in this, which was fantastic to see.

AND... If you like spice… and SPICE with many limbs involved at the same time, then this is for you!
This is probably the spiciest of the books, and I was blushing at a few of the scenes and interactions… BUT YOU WILL REALLY ENJOY THEM... because you like SPICE!

I have loved this series! I am so, so thankful that L.A. McGinnis slid into my DMs when Book 1 was releasing. This is probably one of the best reverse harem series I’ve read in a while, and I will recommend it to anyone who loves Vampires, Reverse Harem, Dark Romance, Action-Packed Stories, AND a Badass FMC who becomes a queen both literally and figuratively!

Thank you so much to L.A. McGinnis for the gifted copy! All thoughts and opinions are my own

Final book of the series.

Well written with a kicka** FMC, a harem who is all in for her, and a big baddie trying to destroy the world. Great character arcs.

A huge thank you to L.A. McGinnis for sending me an eARC of Fated in Forever to read and review!!

I have absolutely adored Nocturne Vampire Clan series and this finale was PERFECTION. Once again we have non stop action as Evie, Malachi, Blake and Rohr plan to take down Ravok once and for all. But now they have some powerful allies on their side too!

The battle scenes and plot line as usual was fantastic and the pacing is excellent. I loved that we got to explore more of Malachi and Evie's relationship and bond in the final book as he wrestles with his fate and transformation into Orcus, the Roman God of Death. Their bond is so beautiful, and you bet I was cheering when Nikolai failed to break it!!

The elders and their backstories REALLY intrigued me and I hope we might get to see more of them in another series maybe? Especially Sabine, she was brilliant 'Can I touch your horns?' I also need Angel and Eldrich's story please Laura haha!!

Fated in Forever was absolutely fantastic and the Nocturne Vampire Clan series is brilliant. Evie never once loses who she is and her males never try and take that, or her choices, away from her (aside from some martyr behaviour from Malachi but we forgive him) and they are just perfect together! Action packed, pure found family from an all star cast of characters, gods and lore, politics, power and magic, Nocturne Vampire Clan has it all!

The final instalment of the Nocturne Vampire Clan, and what a climax.
Although all the books have been wonderful to immerse into this magical world, for me this is probably the best of the four (if I am forced to make a hard choice) for so many reasons, but mostly because it brings all the characters together and creates an unexpected, enjoyable and totally engaging rollercoaster. An engaging surprise ending for the main characters and yet am sure they will resurface in other future books, as has happened with other series of L.A. McGinnis (like Shadowsend Clan making guest appearances in this series).
This is the third series of stories I have read from this wonderful author, and I have thoroughly enjoyed entering the world of the characters involved and their adventures. The author creates great characters, whether major or minor, especially enjoys her strong, vulnerable and empowered female protagonists, and the fact that the series is a reverse harem does create a bonus element with spice galore and my favourite mix of vampires, magic, supernatural, erotica and characters to connect with on their physical, emotional and mental journeys.
Now is the time to take up another series while I await the next series to be written, as I have no doubt there will be more, and I look forward to discovering a new set of characters from the imagination and creativity of L.A. McGinnis.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Fated in Forever is the culmination of an incredible tale of love, sacrifice, and what it means to be family. This final act of the Nocturne Clan proved to be as blood thirsty and action packed as its previous predecessors. We hit the ground running with an altered Malachi and Evie seeking help at Laith Castle. But what unravels is a story rife with heartache and insurmountable love.

I don’t want to go to much into the intricacies of this story, as it’s a spectacular and emotionally impactful finale. The stakes are high, not just for Evie and her males’ lives, but for the future of those they hold dear and have sworn to protect. We must watch them sacrifice again and again for duty, while simultaneously being driven to protect that hope for a nebulous future.

This was an incredibly fast paced plot with engaging and nuanced writing. I cannot rave about this series enough and how beautifully it wrapped up. There was no let up with this story until the very end and what a tightrope of anxiety it was! I hope you will continue to root for Evie when her story concludes on August 25th. Selfishly I hope this will not be the last we see of them and cadre of family.

Fated in Forever is book 4 in the Nocturne Vampire Clan series.

Thank you so much LA Mcginnis for the early read of this book! it was truly everything I needed in the final book for this series!

Evangeline, Blake, Rohr and Malachi are back in Fated in Forever and ready to take on Ravoc and Romulus! These four have found themselves in quite the world ending predicament and are rushing against time to not only prevent the collapse of their world but also to save the bond between Evangeline and Malachi!

With this being the concluding book in the 4 book series, I don’t want to give too much away!

I did LOVE not only this book but the entire Nocturne Vampire Clan series! It’s filled with vampires, vampire hunters, fated mates, magic, and spice. It’s a why choose, MFMM, fantasy romance that will have your toes curling!

Oh my goodness what an action packed ending to this series! Fated in Forever is Book 4 in the Nocturne Clan series.

In the conclusion to their story, Evie, Blake, Riordan and Malachi face off against Ravok to end his terror for once and for all but it isn’t without quite a few bumps along the way.

What I love most about this series is the way the guys back up Evie and have her back, even when they want to lock her up and protect her, they know she is strong and will fight so they fight right along side her.

Though they struggle with the fight with Ravok, Evie and Malachi’s relationship is put through the wringer as well just when they are finally coming together it seems they are being torn apart but Evie will not stand for that one bit even when Malachi thinks it is easier for him to be the villain.

I have been team Malachi since he walked onto the pages and it was great to see him come full circle and to see the motives behind his actions because they stem from the strong love he has for her. With Blake and Riordan also welcoming him, through reluctantly at first, into the family they continue to put Evie’s happiness above all else. They all have grown and developed throughout the series and I am going to miss them so much.

Oh, my word!!! Laura has done it again, gifting us the epic conclusion to the Nocturne Vampire Clan series that Evie, Rohr, Blake, and Malachi deserved. Honestly, I cannot think of a more perfect ending to the series that captivated me from the very first page.

That’s not to say it wasn’t without its share of heartbreak and tears, because, trust me, there was plenty of both!! But, I put my trust in the process, and was thoroughly rewarded in the end. Besides, what’s a HEA without a little heartache first?!

Loyalty, bravery, protectiveness, and nobility shone brightly in our main characters through out the series. But more than that, a desire for safety, love, family, and acceptance acted as the driving forces that ultimately led to their “castle in the sky” dreams becoming a reality. Evie and her males will always hold a special place in my heart

As much as I am going to miss these characters, especially my boys Malachi and Rohr, I loved getting introduced to some “new to me” characters, and can’t wait to read the Shadowsend Clan series next to get better acquainted with them all.

REVIEW
This is the conclusion to this series, and holy smokes, it's filled with so much action and bloodlust.

Blake, Riordan, and Malachi want nothing more than to protect Evie, but she is no pushover when it comes to her men.

However, what her men don't understand is that they are stronger together; Evie needs and wants them all. She knows there is more to Malachi than her other mates see.

Ravok has been a terror no one else needs... They need to destroy him, but what will that bring to Evie and her men? She can not lose any of them.

Love, Betrayal, and Sizzling Hotness are what find us in this story!

Fated in Forever was the perfect ending to this incredible series! From start to finish, it delivered everything I hoped for and more. I absolutely loved seeing the Irish vampire clan again—they’ve always been a favorite, and their presence added such depth and nostalgia to the story. The underworld scenes were fantastic—dark, vivid, and completely transformative for Malachi. Speaking of Malachi… what an arc! His growth throughout the series was nothing short of amazing, and this book cemented him as my favorite hero hands down. He’s complex, strong, and so beautifully written.
This finale tied everything together while still leaving me excited for what’s next. I honestly can’t wait for the next series—if it’s anything like this one, we’re in for another unforgettable ride! I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.

Do you hear that? That’s my soul screaming as I turned the final page of Fated in Forever.

This book gave me everything—angst, betrayal, obsession, heartbreak, and the kind of MFMM spice that ruins you for all other romances. 🩸🔥

L.A. McGinnis, thank you for this unforgettable series. Evie and her vampires will stay with me forever. 🖤

I have read the previous three books in this series and the fourth and final book did not disappoint! My only complaint is I am not ready for Evie, Rhor, Blake and Malachi’s story to be over!

Fated in Forever is action packed with so many twists and turns that you are constantly on your toes and can’t put the book down!

The character development in this series is amazing! I am so attached to them all and I am just not ready for the series to end!

The world development is top notch! The magic system is over the top and keeps you engaged!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this series!!!!!

I absolutely l devoured this book! From
the very first page, I was drawn back into the story and couldn’t put it down. What a perfect ending to a perfect series!

Evie, Blake, Riordan, and Malachi are the found family I never knew I needed. The character growth in this final book of The Nocturne Vampire Clan was superb and left my heart achingly happy! I was not ready to say goodbye! I need more Malachi, and for sure Angel and Elric

HOW DID THIS END IN A HEA

How did we get here

Like HOW

Because WTF Laura my heart can not take it

This book had me laughing crying and wanting to boot my kindle out the window.

Not only is eldric one of my fave side quests now but him and Blake’s weird love hate banter bro relationship has me howling

Evie being a badass was never in question AM I MAD at Malachi for making the choice he did ? OBVIOUSLY
Am I even more mad at Sabine for TALKING IN RIDDLES yes (but also I love her and she needs all the protection she’s just a girl)

While parts of this book had me on edge other parts ripped my heart out like how can you put characters through so much? And not think ye that’s enough abuse enough heart break enough fighting? They just need a break man.

Anyways I did love the cameo from Nik Rowan Finn and Aishling even if my baby Darrow was nowhere to be found (silently hating you for ripping open the heartache that the Shadowsend clan left me with) and I loved that ash was a support for Evie *girl gang*

Do I think that this book could have gone in 1726261diffent directions? Yes am I still a lil mad that they didn’t manage to close the rift or work out how to seal the ley line? Also yes but am I happy that Evie can now breath? Immensely

Ps.

THE RAGE I’m feeling at the lack of demon peen will forever haunt me like why would you dangle that and not tell all 🤭🤣😭

Love this series. This is about Evangeline and Malachi who need to defend the world. There has been a rift torn into the world of good and evil. Malachi has turned into a demi-god and between the two of them and thier friends they must seal the rift. But they must overcome so many lies and distrust to do this. Also Eve has undergone the transition into a vampire. So many battles and love.

The perfect conclusion to an unforgettable series.
Packed with action, spice, and swoon-worthy romance, this finale delivers everything a reader could want—and more. L.A. wraps up the story masterfully, striking the perfect balance without ever making it feel rushed. If you’re into steamy, “why choose” romances featuring vampires and monsters, this series is a must-read. Solid 10/10 recommendation!

What a finale! Action packed, shocking circumstances and love that spans dimensions. Ravok is back and after Evangeline and her guys to punish them and take over the world. Exciting battles, secrets, enemies turned friends and out of control magic. I loved the crossover with the other Vampires in L.A. McGinnis’ series. I was a little sad over parts of the ending but it worked for them. Overall an excellent romance that you’ll absolutely love.

This was a brilliant way to conclude this series. I loved how the male characters are so protective of Evie throughout the development of the story as a whole.

Malachi’s character development has been one of the most interesting and well crafted in the series. It would make a great re-read in the future

What a beautiful end to a phenomenal series! While I'll miss the characters, the end was perfect.

This book is full of drama, banter, twists, turns and, damn, some seriously spicy spice. It sent me through all the emotions and either had me laughing, my heart breaking or on the edge of my seat.

All the MCs have grown so much since the first book, and I loved how much growth they still went through together as the series wrapped up.

If you love a dark, why choose romantasy with vampires, witches, hunters and shadow daddies then this is definitely the series for you.

The fourth and final book in this epic saga which I have enjoyed immensely. Honestly can’t believe the journey it takes you on. Hot, dark and dangerous. Read them you won’t be disappointed if you enjoy the genre.

It picks up just after the end of book three and does not disappoint. All the main protagonists are back with a surprising addition of some new crossover characters. Confused me at first but loved it!

These are not standalone stories you really need to read them in order. Definitely recommend to all who enjoy paranormal romance with a dark edge, full of suspense, intrigue and with a good side of spice. Always nice to have a HEA even if it’s not quite what you expect.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I’ve read a lot of books by L A McGinnis now and she’s definitely on my Yes Please/Must Read list of authors, never disappoints.

Wow, what a conclusion....
This whole series has been amazing, and this book did not disappoint! The action starts right from the get-go and doesn't let go until the end. This is definitely a page turner! This read makes you feel all the emotions, I needed tissues at one point. The chemistry is there, and it is hot. I wanted a little more of the trio together, especially at the end, but what we do get is spicy. The world building, the twists and turns, and the storyline are fantastic and keep you guessing. This author has an amazing ability to write unique in-depth worlds and characters that make you feel like they are real and you are there. Fantastic book and series, sad to see it end, but I can't wait for what comes next from this author!!!

I received an ARC of this book, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. I have already purchased the whole series to support the author and to have in my collection.

This mind wrecking, all-consuming final installment in The Noturne Vampire Clan series left me breathless and on the edge of my seat until the absolutely perfect ending.
Don't want to give away to much but Malachi shows his true self and gives up everything for love.
But Evie with a core of steel fights for love and for her chosen family.
As always L.A McGinnis weaves a complex plot with a huge care in details and descriptions, an overarching plot rich and imaginative,characters that pull all the strings and her Infinite talent closes this series with a blast!
Highly recomend this series!

This is an unpredictable ending for the Nocturne Vampire Clan series. They finally fight the big bad. I was disappointed Evangeline didn't spend more time with all of her men together. Proportionally, we see much less of Riordan and Blake than I would have liked. I have enjoyed this entire series and look forward to reading more by L A McGinnes, especially the other vampire books in her interconnected vampire world.

Thank you L.A. McGinnis and BookSirens for an ARC copy of Fated in Forever. This is the 4th book in the Nocturne Vampire Clan Series. It’s also the last book of the series. I really enjoyed the whole series from beginning to the end! Especially with the ending feeling like it was truly earned by these characters! Book 4 picks up where book 3 has left. It’s full of action (I’d say exponentially more action than the previous 3 books) of good vs. evil. It’s a reverse harem and a “why choose” troupe. If you enjoy a little FMC sharing and steamy scenes while also fighting the evil in the world then this book is for you!

I am so in love with this series. Literally everything about it, from the vampires to the why choose, to the lies and betrayals, to the SPICY SPICY SPICEEEE. I was so captivated by this series that I think I read it all in 3 days.

This story is fast paced from start to finish, it literally never stops.

And McGinnis wrapped it up so perfectly, left nothing left unanswered but left me immediately diving into her backlist because I am obsessed with her writing.
