My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!
***Received the ebook for an honest review

The cover is steamy and shiftery and just beautiful :)

Okay I’m starting with the usual, this is a 3 part novella serial series. This means you must read it in order, or you may become utterly lost in the jungle…okay not really but you won’t understand this fabulous world of Addison and Griffin’s :) It is a quick read and over much too quickly, but I’m trying not to whine that I want more…but I do…want more that is :) This is an adult series as there are some steamy scenes as well as some violence.

While I’m happy with where the book ended, I still want more of this world. I don’t want it to end. I can only hope that Catherine has more stories in her imagination about these clans :)

Addison is amazing with her strength in dealing with everything thrown at her. We have all my favorite characters and some new ones who have grown on me :) I do not like giving specific plot points away which is why I usually talk more generally about characters and whether there was action. Griffin has really grown in this series, and he is a perfect mate for Addison. He isn’t so gruff and stuffy anymore. His relationship with Addison has really changed him. There is definitely plenty going on to keep you gripped in the story and wondering what is going to happen next.

I recommend this wonderful series to my shifter friends who love being in the jungle :) I’m off to find something new to read, but hoping I will get to return to this world sometime in the future :)

Griffin must find a way to lead his clan while desperately searching for the only woman he’s truly ever loved in this spellbinding conclusion to the Jagged Lovers serial romance.

The story is full of emotional turmoil that flows from the pages capturing the heart as Griffin is torn between keeping his clan alive and safe from the Raiders and finding Addison and Addison’s emotional turbulence regarding her sister with lots of passion to keeps things spicy. These strong compelling characters demanded attention right from the start and in this part of their story, they reward readers with their version of happily ever after while the fast paced smooth flowing plot keeps expectations high with suspense and romance and inner clan squabbles add additional tension and excitement.

I have to say that Catherine Vale gave Addison and Griffin a stunning conclusion that brings closure to every part of the story although I would have like to know one thing but I will not give away any spoilers so I can’t tell you (it had no bearing on the enjoyment of the story)

The 3rd book in the series just was amazing. I so loved how it ended. I love what she did with Daniel and Grace. Catherine Vale is such an amazing author and I so love her work.

Addison is now away from the raiders and is longer for her love, Griffin. She finds herself at a motel waiting for Daniel her best friend. She is surprised and overwhelmed to see her twin sister Grace. It worries her that she smells sickness on her sister and has to fear of losing her.

The village of Griffin’s clan is burned down. He does not want to go too far in the jungle scared that if Addison returns she might not be able to find him. Oh how he misses and loves her so much. The loss that he feels is breaking him into.

Daniel is willing to help Addison make it back to the jungle to find Griffin. Thru this they have to worry about Grace being deadly sick. Will they be able to find Griffin? Will they be able to save Grace? Will they run into the raiders and be killed? All good questions read the book and find out.

This is one amazing series. I have so loved reading of the journey of Griffin and Addison and the jaguar clans. I highly recommend this series. You so will not be disappointed.

Final installment in the Jagged Lovers Series - Great Ending

The ending was spectacular. Addison had been kidnapped from the shifter village by tomb raiders. They hurt her, not caring about her well being, not caring about where she said she wanted to be. Addison managed to get a message home. And now the book has come full circle. Addison was in the jungle to find a cure for her sick sister. Now Addison's colleague, Daniel, and Addison's sister, Grace, have arrived to rescue Addison. But Grace is still gravely ill and Addison is with child. And the tomb raiders still pose a threat to Griffin and his jaguar shifters. Great third and final segment! But you will need to read it yourself to find out what happens. Enjoy.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART LOVES !!!

Wow! I love it! On The Edge is the third book in the amazing new series, Jagged Lovers, by Catherine Vale and it totally blew my mind. I thought the first and second books were good but the third book is even better! Vale's astonishing talent, incredible skill and mind blowing imagination shine brightly in this incredible tale of paranormal romance and adventure. This is not your typical "wham bam" shifter story. This has depth, substance and power. It grabs you and holds you captive while enveloping you in its web of magic and fantasy. The story is exciting, thrilling, action packed, powerful, suspenseful, compelling, original, enthralling, romantic, arousing and sensual. The dialogue is smart, well written and flows effortlessly. The characters are fascinating, captivating, interesting, imaginative, engaging and sexy. Vale works her magic to expertly craft these elements into a wonderfully entertaining and satisfying read. Addison James of the National Museum of History has been searching for months for a cure for her twin sister's mystery illness. She has finally found a lead in some of the museum's old records chronicling a 1920s expedition. A very rare orchid was located in the jungles of Peru that had been used by the Incas to cure myriad disease which presented all the same symptoms as Grace's illness. Her sister Grace was getting progressively worse by the day and she had to find a cure, quickly. But the specimen did not survive the return journey. Now her only option is to travel to the same location in the jungles of Peru but it's very dangerous. Her colleague and ex-boyfriend, Daniel Parrish knows just how dangerous and is determined to accompany her, no matter the cost. The last expedition, a few years ago, had been massacred including two of Addison's interns. It was rumored that the attack had been perpetuated by Jaguar shifters but most dismissed their existence as myth but Addison just knew they were real, somehow alive and hiding in the jungle. She didn't care! She must find that orchid! It was her sister's only hope for recovery. Without it, Grace will surely die. But during their journey through the jungle, Addison and Daniel encounter a group of jaguar shifters. Addison if finally able to convince their clan leader, sexy jaguar shifter Griffin to help her obtain the orchid but he makes a demand of his own in return for his help. He wants Addison to give him a progeny. Huh? What the heck? But she knows she will agree to anything to save her sister. But what she doesn't expect is the strong sexual attraction she feels for the handsome alpha male. Oh my! Addison must stay behind to fulfill her agreement with Griffin while Daniel returns with the orchid. At least she can console herself knowing her sister will be saved. Griffin's mate and unborn child were murdered by humans and although he now hates humans, he sees Addison as a gift from the Gods. The human woman would be only a vessel for his child - nothing more! But Griffin soon discovers that he and his animal have a powerful attraction and feel a primal desire for the human female. He can't stay away from her - he's drawn to her. He wants her but does he want her badly enough to fight to the death for her? It seems he does....But now Addison has been taken from him - again. He has failed to do the one thing he promised - to protect her - his mate, and worse, he has never confessed his love to her - love which she has so freely given him. And now it may be too late......Oh my! Sexy jaguar shifter-check! Beautiful, sassy, courageous scientist-check! Danger, action, adventure, suspense, and enemies with malevolent intent-check! Instant attraction, undeniable chemistry, romance and sex-you bet! In spades! OMG! I was on the edge of my seat from page one until the very last line. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough! A wonderful journey of love, new beginnings and happily ever after! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!

HONEST REVIEW REQUESTED
So this is the final book in the series, and it is a fast one. Addison has been kidnapped by raiders from her clan while she and Daphne were on a dig, oh and did I mention they are both about 3 months pregnant..EXCITING. Anyway when I read that they were kidnapped I though Daniel may have something to do with it but come to find out no one reported her missing at all. Griffin is totally upset because this is the second time he has lost a loved one and not to mention tow loved ones at the same time. Addison calls Daniel to wire her money and find out how Grace is doing..she is doing ok but not cured. Daniel said that he will come back to the jungle to make sure Addison is okay. Griffin is going crazy when raiders come and burns and attacks his village making them move to Ramos' village.
While Daniel, Grace, and Addison hike back to her village Grace falls ill and develops a bad cough and they have to stop at the ruins where raider are still coming to dig up treasure. Daniel goes off to find Griffin, Grace illness gets worse so Addison decides to drag her along and head to her village....only to find out its burned down..I can't give you all the details..there is a few HEAS in this book and I would love for another one to come out to update us on the couples HINT HINT

Gifted copies provided by author/publisher for an honest review.
I am so not a fan of serials. Thank goodness all three installments were available at the time I was reading this or this would be a very different review.
Part 1 - On The Prowl - Addison is desperate to find a cure for her twin sister. Desperate enough to travel to Peru with her ex to find a flower that will provide the cure.
Part 2 - On The Move – It is time for Addison to live up to her end of the bargain. Just when she becomes comfortable with Griffin and the shifters she is abducted by a bounty hunter.
Part 3 - On The Edge - Reunited with her ex and her sister all Addison can think about is returning to Griffin. Griffin is torn between finding Addison and protecting his people.
In my humble opinion this would have worked just fine as a book rather than split into three parts. These have to be read in order and probably wouldn’t work as standalone.
Addison is smart, driven and a bit naïve. Griffin is Alpha and at times obnoxious. Watching him fall was a lot of fun. If you treat this as a check your brain at the cover, total escape this is a good read. If you have Kindle Unlimited get these three books as a vacation for your mind. These books reminded me of 1950’s jungle movies.

On The Edge #3

This book continues where part 2 finished. Griffin is frantic and overwhelmed when Daphne returns without addison and says she has been kidnapped. But the villiage is then attacked and he has to move his people even with been devastated. Addison is strong and won't accept been taken by raiders. She manages to get hold of Daniel who flies out straight away with her sister Grace in tow. But Grace has got worse so Daniel leaves them to find Griffin. When he doesn't return the two girls head off to find the village which they do but everyone has gone. Griffin's people find Daniel and as soon as Griffen knows where Addison is he leaves to find her. Griffin finds them and is so relieved but they have to rush back to get Grace to the Priest. The clan find out the raiders are back and need to be dealt with once and for all!

I loved part 3, it was a perfect ending. This was an interesting book all round and for that reason I loved it that much more. The characters were strong, tough and energetic and it came through perfectly with the authors style of writing. This book was well worth the read and I definitely recommend all 3 parts. As it's part of 3 it's best read in order!

On the Edge, the best of the Jagged Lovers Series
I loved this book most of all of the trilogy. The first book 'On the Prowl', began the story of Addison, who works at the National History Museum, and is on a quest to find a cure for her critically ill sister in the jungles of Peru and Griffin a dangerous, arrogant, sexy alpha male jaguar shapeshifter. How they meet and how they come to an arrangement that will lead Addison to the cure she seeks in exchange for a favor to Griffin. The second book 'On the Move', pulls you further along their journey amid power struggles within the shifter clan, the love story of Addison and Griffin, and how he must fight to keep her. This final chapter has Addison torn away from the man she loves and her desperation to get back to him as well as how driven Griffin is to do anything to have her back. This book also brings about change for Addison's ailing sister, her friend and former liver Daniel and the entirety of the shifter clans. This trilogy is a definite recommend read.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

OMG what an ending to the series, I read through this book just as fast as the others... I couldn't put it down. This is book 3 of the "Jagged Lovers" series, DO read these books in order, otherwise you will miss out on alot of very important information. I will say that I'm very thankfull to have all 3 books on hand at once.

Raiders strike the clan village & Addison is kidnapped & taken to the local consulate in hopes of getting money from 'saving her'... Griffin is trying to keep the clans safe but he's sick of running....

I loved the ending of this book, it made all the previous cliffhangers worth it. Having just finished all 3 books in 1 sitting I can honestly say I need MORE. I couldn't put any of these books down. Thank you Catherine for an entrancing read, I'll be keeping my eye out for more from you in the future.

I received all three books in this serial in exchange for my honest review.

Griffin is now clan leader but he is torn between those duties and the need to find his missing mate.

Also in this conclusion we learn more about Addison’s friend Daniel and her sister Grace.

I rated the previous two episodes as 5 stars but I’m a bit disappointed with this final one. Something about it felt a bit rushed to me. It wasn’t that I hated to see the story end it was more like everything just got wrapped up a bit too neatly and quickly for me. That being said I still enjoyed this very much.

At only $0.99 this book is a bargain compared to other stories like this that I've seen sell for much more. If you like shifter romance with suspense and intrigue thrown in you should really like this book.

Faced with indecision when Addison gets the news of her sister she has worked so hard to make happen. Realizing home is where Griffin is and wanting the fresh start that she didn't realize she wanted. Griffin caught between the woman he loves and his clans well-being, tempers flying, and uncertainty on if he will ever see Addison again. Until fate surprises him and things he never thought he would consider come to light. Things unravel and knit back together making things work out better than expected. Again, Catherine Vale gave me a world I could escape to and watch everything unfold. Even though this is the conclusion to the series it still left me wanting more.

Received this book for an honest review.

On the Edge is the final book in a 3-part series.

We left off with Addison being taken away by raiders in On The Move. Also, we found out she was pregnant at the end of the book. Now Griffin is beside himself with guilt that he did not protect Addison. During this book, Grace and Daniel come to see Addison. Grace appears to be better, but is she really? Will Addison make it back to Griffin or will the raiders force him to leave the area? During this book, you see the clans taking a different stance on the raiders and listening to different options.

This is a great ending to the series.

Loved this installment of the Jagged Lovers Series. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series from start to finish. If there is another installment, I would read it in a heart beat. Catherine Vale is an amazing writer and puts you right in the middle of the action. I was glad Addison found her way back home to Griffin, but I was also glad that we found out how the orchid worked out for her sister. I love that her sister, Grace and friend, Daniel were able to help her and they found their way to each other. Maybe we will get a novella about Grace and Daniel, fingers crossed.

On The Edge (Jagged Lovers Series) Book #3: Jaguar Shifter Romance by Catherine Vale
** I received an ARC from the Author in exchange for my honest review **
Book #3 continues the story from book #2 putting me on the edge of my seat as I read to find out Addison and Griffin’s fate. This story was truly all consuming with true depth and wonderful characters. I loved this story and I hope Ms. Vale will continue to write in this series.

This is the final book in the Jagged Lovers Series and after reading all three in a day (I could not put them down). I loved the way the author resolved the conflict in the story and although this series is done I hope to hear the other stories of background characters from this series. I am always on the lookout for more great authors and have found one to follow in Catherine Vale. I can't wait to see what else she comes up with in the future and will be checking out her new releases.

This instalment for me was the best one, there's more action and excitement which held my interest better.
Griffin's emotional turmoil at the beginning was described well and I really felt his distress at not knowing what had happened to Addison.
Again, like the other two this is a quick read but as each book starts exactly where the last left off, reading them back to back give you a decent story.

I was sent books 1,2, and 3 and read them one after another without stopping, because I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next.
In book 1 you get introduced to all of the main characters and get a feel for the area the story takes place in.
In books 2 and 3, the story twists and turns just enough that it keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting to see what is going to happen.
Pure enjoyment to read.

This is a lovely end to the series.

Addison is kidnapped and Griffin is beside himself. Daphne and Ramos are trying to get Griffin to calm down and think rashly. Addison is thinking on her feet and trying to find a way back to Griffin. She has also to think about her baby that she is caring. She makes one phone call and that one phone calls proves to be her salvation. She just doesn't know to what extent yet.

Love this ending and how it came together.

The conclusion of the Jagged Lovers Series is emotional and intense.


Addison has been kidnapped from the ruins by greedy raiders hoping for a reward. Grace is still sick but makes the trip to see her sister anyways.


I was pleased with the continued character growth, and the intense bond that formed between Addison and Griffin. This is a must read series, and should be read in order.

The last book of the series, the story started where book 2 left off.
As Addison learned things about being Griffin’s mate and all, and things just falling into place, unexpected things will happen not just to Addison but also Griffin’s tribe.
Loyalty and relationships will be tested and there will be guests that will join the club!
Loved it!!
Ms. Catherine nailed it!
