The Coveted Saga #4
Twisted Gems
Book 4 of the Coveted Saga
Nothing was as it was supposed to be, and I was sick of everyone saying I'd die. My heart had been ripped out; I'd been stepped on; and I'd been underestimated for much too long. It was time to prove to everyone I was stronger than I looked.
It was time to fight.
I just didn't know if I could survive Tallis and the future that kept being promised to me.

I am so glad everyone got their happy ending, I love C.M Owens her beauties and beauties live on series is one of my ultimate fave's and due a reread soon... This honestly for me wasn't as great and at times a little juvenile still a four star and still worth reading and highly enjoyable just not on par.
Tallis. I wasnt overly keen on him he seemd a bit of a wet blanket and always doing the wrong thing, i know Owens loves writing the "bad misunderstanding" but this guy took it to a whole new level... ex sleeping in your room with you big no no.
Aria. Aria seems to go from high school teenager to woman in a matter of days, making huge decisions and keeping huge factors to herself, i felt that if she confided in those she loves and trusts more, she never would have needed the amulet in the first place.
Amelia is freakin awesome as is Lokan needs his own book!
The other characters where all ok they make the book feel united.
The storlyline was amazing, i felt it was overshadowed too much with Aria and Tallis, i do need romance in a book but these two took up a lot of story time with silly quibbles.

Saved the best till last!!!
WOW!! not a good enough word but it's gonna have to do!
I'm speechless about the journey i just took in this book. Correction this whole series!
This is the final book in the Coveted Saga. This see's Aria preparing and facing the final battle against evil. She has a difficult time finding out a way to defeat the bad the guys and has to go on a journey before the battle can even begin. I won't say too much more about the plot because it's full of surprises and i want everyone to enjoy them. I will tell you there's lots of magical action and fights, spell casting, plot twists, and a few bits of immortal loving, wow they're hot! The story flows really well and keeps you gripped from start to finish.
I felt so many emotions during this book. I went from hopeful in the beginning with a hint of trepidation, to ohhhh no it's not looking good, to OMG ugly cry!!! to pheeewwwww, to ooooooooooh now that's an ending!!!! I have loved every moment of this whole series. The relationship between Aria and Tallis is a rocky old road but one you are gonna want to take. Aria was pretty immature in the beginning but she grew into her magic and into adulthood as her powers and knowledge progressed. Tallis was a hottie from the start but made some stupid mistakes when it came to their relationship but i absolutely fell for both of them. Another fab thing about this series are the supporting cast. I laughed so many times at Jay and Desmond who were both hilarious. I even loved one of the bad guys!! this author just draws you in and makes you care.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone but please make sure you read the Saga from the beginning to fully appreciate it.

4.5/5 ⭐️
Like with every book in this series, if you asked me why I like it, I wouldn't be able to give you answer because had this been any other book, I would not have rated it so highly.
Now I get what people mean when they say they liked a book "for the vibes" because this is exactly that.
I knocked off 0.5 stars since there's a trope towards the end that I usually really hate but I couldn't be too angry about it in this book because it led to a good ending, so that's that.
Would I recommend this series to others? Maybe to a very close friend who was looking for a unique magic system to immerse themselves in and wasn't expecting the next great literary novel (🤣)- yes. Everyone else can make up their own mind.
Jokes aside, I really enjoyed the book and this is a 4 ⭐️ series for me overall.

5 Stars!
* I'm happy the books ended and disappointed at the same time. I enjoyed this series, but there were moment it was too long for me, although I'm more of a stand-alone book person, so no offenses. :)
* It was breathtaking journey. I cried, I laughed, I loved! This series gave me emotions and story to lose myself in.
Thank you C.M. Owens. I highly recommend this series.

Great Ending
This book showed how much Aria has matured. She is willing to risk everything to protect her loved ones.
Overall the Saga had a great ending even though it made me feel like I was watching Twilight Bella/Jacob/Edward except it was Jared/Aria/Tallis.
Allowing Aria to pick her own mate saves them all in the end. True love prevails!

The first 5 chapters were much word for word repeats from the end of book 3. It distracted me enough to stop to check my kindle to make sure I was in the right book. It was an annoying thing for me because I was ready for a continuation not a recap at that point I had bought book 4. 🤷🏻♀️
I still have to say it's well worth 5 stars because after chapter 6 it was a great read.

Phew! Almost got a heart attack with the Siren issue! Thank god for the solution in which the story ended with a fantastic conclusion and a happy ending for the characters! Though, how Aria sorted out the soul mate issue wasn't told clearly, but hey, who cares as long as all the couples got the partner they deserved and happy with it.

Friggin pretty awesome.
So I read them all and lived them all. As usual after reading Ms. Owens books I went through all the damned whale tears and emotions which included throwing my poor phone. Thank you C.M. Owens

Last book
Satisfaction. Glad I have the whole series to reread again and again. I like that this book was action packed. Lokan turned out to be one of my favorite characters.

Best one
This was the best one. Our little girl finally woke up and was solid. I also love when there are happy endings.

This was the last book in the Coveted Saga Series and it was so sad to say goodbye. This book I absolutely devoured from the moment I read the opening page and what a roller coaster of emotions all rolled into one FANTASTIC FINALE!! I was laughing at various scenes from Aria and Amelia on the roof "silently talking" the "Old Fart" talking in rhymes, songs and Lady Bugs!
And then the moment of absolute devastation and heartbreak I couldn't believe what I was reading and wanted to throw my tablet across the room. This is such a fantastically written book and would highly recommend this series to everyone ++++++

Saved the best for last
By far the best one of the series. Rollercoaster of emotions and a lot of action. Aria finally embraces who she is and takes charge. The battle arrives and she totally kicks ass along with everyone else. It's a good thing Aria's jewelry came in handy or else I would have hated the ending. I was going nuts with all the death and destruction. But it ended perfectly and I absolutely loved the epilogue. I also fell in love with Lokan a little. He's not so bad.

Bk 4 of 4 - just wow - what a fantastic & emotional conclusion to a series that just got better & better with each book. This book was written from both Aria & Tallis's pov which I absolutely loved.
Can Tallis win Aria back or will Aria choose Jared? Can Aria fix the soulmate bonds? Can Graven be defeated? What side will Lokan fall on? Will Aria succumb to the darkness? Who is Sophie? Will Aria & Tallis ever get their happily ever after? CM Owens definitely kept us guessing. Brilliant writing! Brilliant plot! Hoping for at least 1 spinoff!

Perfect ending
So I will start by saying that I cried at the end of this book. A good cry of course because the series is actually over. Aria and Tallis fought a lot to be together in this book and there were moments I second guessed where Ms. Owens was going but... it's truly over this time. A ton of action,boat loads of making up,death, time jumping...it's all there. I have almost all of Ms. Owens book and I always complete my series but this was my favorite even more so than deadly beauties or faders. I very highly recommend the entire series.

C.M. Owens is a fictional mastermind. This series is amazing in general, but the final book takes it to a new level. I laughed, I cried (the ugly cry) and I felt overwhelmed with joy and happiness. If you like books that have you captivated from the start to the point where you can't put it down because the suspense of knowing what will happen is too much to handle, I strongly suggest you read this whole series.

Series so awesome it screams for a Spinoff!!
C.M. Owens tells an amazing story about young witch Aria and what she has to go thru to save her family, coven and the man she loves from death, she may have to die herself to achieve this. Characters that you feel for and lots of twist that send the reader reeling!!!

Twisted gems
This series took me on quite the adventure. There was a lot of anguish and heartbreak. I loved that aria was able to lead despite the older generation attempting to control everything. I was worried for awhile there that there would be no HEA. I also loved that CM was able to make me fall in love with Lokan. He was such an amazingly complex character.

No more Creepy Eyes!
Of all of Owens' books, I've never loved the ending as much as this one! I read all 4 books in 5 days...thanks to work :). As always, she never disappoints! Hands down, my favorite author of all time! Coveted was SO worth the wait!

Fitting end to the series
All the characters you know and love!
I'm a bit miffed over Aria and Tallis's relationship, but what can you do? Love Lokan - wish there was more of him.
I felt the ending was a bit short; maybe even rushed, but mostly anti-climatic.

This story had a happy ending for almost all of the characters. Over the duration of the series my coupling loyalties shifted, so I, personally,may have wanted different outcomes in different places. I was, Overall pleased with the results.
