I loved, loved this book Ms. Charles wrapped up this book series very well and I couldn't have made a better ending than what she did. Read no further because the rest of this has spoilers... So with that said. When Flint came to and Adam was no where to be found two Brownies came and lead her to her next destination. It seems she was tricked by her unknown to her grandfather. And she has a brother she never knew and the fey are very freaky looking and deadly and Ms. Charles description is such that you could accurately imagine how they really look. And after alot of anger, tears, and sorrow for our Flint she finally gets back home to Cain only to distance herself from him because of a deal her grandma and death had made and Flint had to honor and keeping those secrets were vital to the outcome of the war. But in the end grandma gives Flint one last secret to carry to change the whole dynamics of the war and helps them win in the end. Unfortunately the hive is still alive and kicking but if there is good then so must there be evil. So anyway Cain and Flint have the kind of Happily Ever After that only they would want and wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you Ms. Charles for giving us such wonderful worlds to live in. I received this book for free for my honest review.

There was no reason to have a third book. It ended at 33%. It was a so so ending. Flint and Cain were together as well as Abel and Janet (nothing was said about how they got together). Rhi, Eli and Seth all died, along with Layla by Adam's hands. I'm glad it's over, because I won't be reading another book by this author for awhile.

Love this Series!
I have been on pins and needles waiting on this book to come out. This series has had me hooked from the beginning. This book is an awesome addition to the series. It has a ton of surprises and fun along the way, as well as some heartbreak. I loved finding out more about Flint's heritage, and meeting her family. Her journey in this book is quite a rollercoaster ride. Although I hate to give up a wonderful series,this was an excellent book. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole series!

HOLY SMOKES!!!!!! I read all the books in about 2 days. I was glued from the moment I picked up the series. Flint is a character that I instantly liked and Cain was OMG!!!! (kind of possessive, but he grew on you). The twist and turns the book took was crazy and yet exhilarating. The dark faeries are not ones to piss off and to find out the secrets there were hiding. GAH!!!
But all in all the book was a success and the battle to stop the darkness was EPIC. The ending was bitter sweet but Flint and Cain got the happiness the deserved.

Amazing conclusion to the Tempted Series.
Could not get enough of Flint and Cain. Love this power couple!!
Flinty has to figure out how to save the world from the Armageddon that is right at their heels.
With some help from her grandmother Grace (from the Night series) Dean and Pandora also from the Night series they need to get the upper hand and defeat Layla and save their friends and the world.

Just couldn't get into it
I read the 1st 2 in 1 sitting, but I just couldn't get into this one. I made it to about 16% ill have to try it again later.

I received a copy of this book for my honest opinion.
I will point out, as I always do with my reviews I offer no spoilers. So this review may not offer everything you could be seeking, and I won't summarize the book as you get that simply by the book's description.
What I can say is this: once you start, you can't simply finish this book. Twists, turns, stops and well a lot of "what" "omg"...all the good things you want in a book. This book is the third and final book of the Tempted series. It brings a lot of questions forward we've had off and on since the beginning as we slowly try to solve this overall mystery we've had put before us.
Selene Charles does no disappoint in this book what so ever, she continues as she had with the first two in the series by continuing to add more complex layers to characters we thought we really knew. You learn more about each character, and the world seems to get bigger and bigger.
If you've read any books in the serious so far this is a must read. I will say that if you haven't read the first two; this one may be completely confusing. You really should read Books 1, then 2 to fully appreciate the amazing book that this is.
Flint is pushed further than she thought she could, past her limit and then some. She strives to do what is right, despite any cost she has to face to herself.
I can't find enough words to describe how good this book is, other than it took the series to another place I didn't think it could go and made it even better than I could've expected. READ THIS BOOK (after books 1 and 2).

OMW. Finding words to describe this book. I had to spend a day just holding what I had read to myself before writing the review and sharing it, like allowing a good piece of chocolate dissolve slowly in your mouth, the taste stays with you for a while.
What a wonderful culmination to a trilogy. I would defiantly allocate this book 10 stars if I could.
The first book drew me in immediately and enthralled me with its twists and turns and larger than life characters at the Cirque Diabolique and ended on a cliff-hanger written by the Queen of cliff-hangers herself. By the end of book 2 I was sure that book 3 was just going to be a bit of wrapping up because book 2 was such an exciting adventure. Was I ever wrong!
With even more exciting and colourful characters Obsessed takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride of note. A trip by Flint and Abel to the land of Fae, betrayal, separation from family and lovers, transformation, preparation for Armageddon, monsters both dark and light, a gauntlet………….!
The writing of this author strongly resonates with me and unfortunately books reviewed by me directly following one of hers have VERY big boots to fill.
I am unable to say more without leaking spoilers, I can only urge fans of Urban Fantasy for their own sakes to read this trilogy and any other books by this author they can lay their hands on.

A complete series!
At the time of writing this review (Jan 2016), if you buy this book from Amazon you get books 1&2 free. As I hadn't read any of the series this was a good deal for me.
I understand that this series is a spin-off from the Night series by the same author under the name of RS Black. I haven't read that series, but you can tell where the two stories overlap. I can imagine if you'd read the other series it may have enhanced this one, but I don't feel it spoiled my enjoyment that I hadn't. That said I'm probably going to read it now, although there are spoilers in this series that will affect that storyline.
I enjoyed this series and read all the books in a couple of days. It's definitely aimed at the young adult age range.
When I started the first book I was a bit worried it was going to be a little too similar to the Twilight stories, but after the initial glaring likeness it does go its own way.
All in all an enjoyable series. Would recommend.

wow, that is quite the package! If you haven't already started the Tempted series, this is your chance to get all three books in one! YA, yes, but so much more than your average teenage angst, girl meets superboy, school's out for summer story - I loved the first two books and I was swept away by the third. Couldn't put it down! Flint grows up during this series, has to, but she does it with grace and strength and pride. Cain is pure sugar, he lets her do what she needs to do but is there for her all the way. And the revelations in book three about Flint - wow. Didn't see that coming! Keep your tissues handy!
And if you are done and want more of this world: RS Black's Night series shows the endgame from a very different angle.

Beautiful Ending to an Amazing Series
The authors did a fabulous job ending this trilogy. The storyline starts off exactly where she left it in book two. Flint had to go through many trials, learn of new loved ones, make sacrifices, and all at the same time, keep her faith. Cain also had to learn how to move forward without Flint constantly at his side grounding him and have faith in her. Everyone lost someone dear to them during this final story. It was full of action, adventures, more than enough secrets, heartache, loss, and happiness. If you haven't read this trilogy, you should. It will definitely be worth your time.

It started off real slow, all that describing the fae land and politics, just bored me to death, but once the story picked up the space I really liked it, but it ended way too quickly for my liking without really explaining what was happening and the final battle what they preparing for all along was kind of lame. They did not face the real enemy, we don't really know what went down between Dean and Pandora, or why was he even involved? Characters died for no reason, I mean the whole fight felt like a diversion, which made their sacrifice unnecessary...

This is the last book in the series and all my questions were finally answered. I enjoyed the last part of the series, but felt the very end of the book was a bit rushed and could've been in a bit more detail.
Whilst reading this book we learn a bit more of Cain's aunt, Pandora who has her own book The Night series which runs concurrently to this book. I'm now going to read that as it's got me interested to know Pandora's story.
A good ending, but I recommend having some tissues ready, and maybe not reading in public.

Dross
This felt disjointed, and I suspect it could probably have benefitted from proofreading. Also, the book itself finished at 33% - the remainder of the space was taken up with reiteration of all 3 books, which was just tedious. I'm still not sure why I bothered with this series - maybe I was hoping it would improve?

Nice ending
This book ending was perfect. All the loose ends were tied or answered, except exactly who the triad was (unless I missed it in a previous book). I was upset with the deaths that occurred, but it made the book more intense.

Never again
This whole series gave me a migraine. Too much going on all at once. Shifters, were people, strange fae, time loops, death, demons WHAT THE HELL???? All these five star ratings are lies! The Night Series was better. This series didn't make any sense

This was a really good series. It had a very satisfying end. There was love, loss, heartache, sadness, justice, sacrifice , and life all rolled in there in a mesmerizing but shabby bow. because life is never neat and tidy. It really was a beautiful story of all those things.

This final book was great. I liked the reference to a past set I read but you don't have to read it to enjoy this one. The ending was shocking but good. I really enjoyed the final battle. This set is great for any pnr lover.
January 16, 2016
Honestly it just got a little boring and I couldn't finish it. Nothing new, I feel like I'm drowning in books that seem to use the same storyline only modifying it slightly.
December 15, 2015
Meh. The title is a complete misnomer. The writing felt much weaker than the first two in this series and it almost felt like she was writing down to her YA audience with all the childish slang.

Excellent Read
Excellent book to read.
The third and final book in the series.
And a great series it is.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Happy Reading
