TRILOGY NOW COMPLETE!
Wondering if Ryder, leader of the Guardian Warriors, existed… was hard.
Wondering if I was strong enough to love all that he is, was even harder.
Living without him? Impossible.
The Universe better fix this.
All of it.
Or I, the mother of the prophecies, am going to raise holy hell on earth.

As Rose is faced with her most challenging time—possibly raising the prophecies without their fathers—she gears up for the fight of her life. She has to. It’s not only her life that is on the line.

Souls on fire…

USA TODAY bestselling author India R Adams writes stories of souls on fire. Whether India’s characters are feeling the heat from hell or the wings of grace, they are all transforming and want to share their journey with you. Her novels range from Dark MC, Paranormal, to Contemporary, but each story is either a path of destruction or a road to redemption.

Sometimes both.

So, if you want to read about voyages of the heart, the grit to rise from one’s knees, or the strength to break free of the binds of a spirit, then pick one of India’s stories because she believes damaged souls are worth saving and that there is nothing more beautiful than a soul on fire.

"What magic there is in simply being present. What beauty is present in acceptance."

I'm bowing down to Mrs Adams' MIST. With this epic conclusion to A Stranger in the Woods series,  we say goodbye to Rose, Gunner and Ryder, their characters that warmed my heart, no matter the heartbreak and the challenges of their journey.

“What is the good of love if death is inevitable?”

There is so much life, love in this book! This is a bundle of good vibrations. Maybe it's the mystic / esoteric atmosphere, or simply the magic of the author, but I could feel, and to an extend, still can feel now the positive energy radiating from the beautiful and often poetic words. 

"Rain will grow as River flows… within the Mist."

The prose utterly touched me. The storytelling transported me into another universe where trust, hope, healing, understanding will make you think that nothing is impossible.

"Here I am, again in Hell, yet finding a beautiful moment I will never forget."

Mist is not a standalone, you have to experience Rain and River first in order to enjoy it to the degree it deserves. I highly recommend it to readers with a kind heart *winks*! "Namaste."!!!

I VOLUNTARILY REVIEWED AN ARC COPY OF THIS BOOK. THANK YOU!!!

I feel so all over the place right now! Like I am so happy to finally see how it all goes but on the other side of that I am devastated that it's all over! I have been anticipating this book for far to long and now I don't to read it, which makes no sense but you know when you want book so and but then you don't want to read it so it never ends, that's what happened here.

But now it's done and I could not have anticipated this book if I tried. It went well and truly beyond any expectation that I ever had and that's saying something because my expectations were super high after the first two books. I won't tell you what happens but I will ask that you go into this book with an open mind and an open heart. I feel like with these books, there is so much more than just reading going on, it's an escape but also for me, there is a lot said that really makes you think. Having an open heart and mind with these books I alway find that I finish it feeling so exceptionally happy but also very serene. Which is a weird thing to say about book but it just helps me feel so balanced afterwards.

India's writing is exception and it doesn't matter what she is writing about, I find that I always finish a book feeling wrung out emotionally but also really fulfilled.

I without a doubt will read this entire series again as they are just so touching. The series is about love in all forms and it doesn't matter what type of mood I'm in, it always lightens my head and heart. I look forward to seeing what Ms Adams will have in store for us next!

This is my honest and unbiased review.

Have you ever read a book that makes you both happy and sad. This is that book. I am so happy that it’s finally here and now sad that it is over. I guess that’s the way life is. We wait and wait for what we want and then we get it and it’s over. It’s a bitter sweet time. I’ve realized this a lot in my life. I know things will not be perfect but we can have perfect moments. This is one of my perfect moments! The ironic thing about this is that I found this to be a theme in this book. We take happiness where we can get it. Nothing is permanent, life is ever changing. It presents duality on every level. It’s the yin and yang. It is the balance, the harmony we need. For if we didn’t have the bad times how could we ever truly appreciate the good. How would we feel true love, unwavering give your life to it kind of love?
This is not an easy book to read it gutted me at times. I had to walk away and process. I cried, I smiled, I swooned and I did a lot of thinking. Maybe you could read this as a fantasy for pure entertainment purposes only. I could not. There’s way too much going on and life lessons to be learned. I’ve said it before and I will say it again this author knows much more than she is revealing. She puts forth her life lessons in this beautiful trilogy. We are all connected in a never ending life rollercoaster of thrilling experiences, both good and bad. Just remember bad is not forever. Just as good is not forever but love can be eternal and enduring. Love of all things. We are all responsible beings and have our karma to pay both good and bad. I truly believe in the six degrees of separation theory and that we are connected to the universe. So we are all responsible to help our fellow man. All this is put forth in this book. If I learned just one thing (which I took away so much more) it is the idea of surrender. We all look at surrender as a negative. However, sometimes you just need to surrender to the idea that if you surrender to it will work out. Have faith. It may not work out in the manner you want but it will work out. As the song says, Have a little faith in me. That me could be yourself, the universe, your faith.
I’d like to thank India for bringing a certain someone back into the book. To say I was happy is an understatement. Of course I love Ryder and Rose but Gunner and his antics are the comic and loving relief I needed. His banter with Ryder got me every time.
I’ve gone long enough. What I will say is that this is a trilogy I will be picking up again and again. There’s song I thought of while I was reading this by Liza Minnelli titled, The World Goes Round. The lyrics start out with, “Sometimes you’re happy, sometimes you’re sad but the world goes round.. it ends with” But the planet spins and the world goes round, and round and round and round and round, the world goes round and round and round and round!
This is life the ride that never ends. This book will forever play out in my mind!

How can you say goodbye to characters that have burrowed their way into your heart?

You trust that your favorite author, India R. Adams, respects her prominent place in our metaphysical world, and completes her masterful, A Stranger in the Woods series, with honor, by pouring her heart and soul into the completion of this amazing trilogy.

Book 3, MIST, continues the journey we started with RAIN and RIVER, books 1 and 2, and we excitingly gather these beings into our souls to watch transformations that defy our imaginations. Ryder and Rose and Gunner, these characters are a lifeline, as their extraordinary relationships traverse time, again and again.

When you feel the emotional ties grab your heart, at the sacrifices that each make to uphold the love they share, and when they expand their family, to bring about the safety and well-being of those they hold dear, you will understand the depth of their epic journey of hope.

I feel as if we have been privileged to have had a glimpse of these men and women of honor. Meeting Rain, River, and Mist have helped to heal the darkness that may be hiding inside each of us.

Our hearts beat stronger, our minds are clearer, and our souls are forever changed by the stranger in the woods

Final book in a series that I never thought I would read let alone LOVE. I am so glad I gave it a go as what the author has created is truly magical and will stick with you for a long time to come.

I absolutely love how this series as been written. Yes it has mainly been told through Rose and Ryder, but the way the author has done it makes it seem like it's told by all and the exquisite detailing makes you feel like you are right there; part of the tribe.

"To those who have the courage to say goodbye, even though they wish to never have to speak such a word". Ok even this singular line at the very beginning of the book has me EXTREMELY scared of what's to come especially after all that we experienced in River. My feelings were instantly justified by a heart breaking prologue that hints at what's to come. Like my review for River I'll be keeping my review shortish/vague as if I mention much more it will ruin the journey that is going to destroy us all...

Finally finished Mist and I'm in shock and a bundle of emotions. It was everything I was expecting and so much more. Unlike the other books I didn't race through it, and took a few days, as I wasn't ready to say goodbye to characters that I bonded with on this mystical journey. Definitely not a series to be missed.

WOW!!!! This final installment is packed full of all you need to know leading up to the end of this series. So many questions have come up for me throughout but India R Adams wrapped this one up perfectly.

I took my time reading this knowing it was the end but savored every word. It is jam packed with so much information that if you read it to quickly, you may miss out on a lot. Even thought we have been told this is the end I hope more will come with all of the new characters we are introduced to in this one.

If you like fantasy then I highly recommend you read this series from the beginning. Heck I recommend all of this authors books.

As I opened this final instalment of a phenomenal trilogy, I had mixed emotions. I was torn between needing to find out what happens next. But a the same time scared of what will become of these characters I’ve come to adore. Then not wanting to say goodbye to this magical world.

I’m not going to give anything away about this story. This trilogy is a must read and experience yourself. It will definitely be going on my re-read pile. I just can’t say goodbye

Gripping, emotional, sexy. I couldn't put this down. It was hard. I may go back and read it again. The characters just suck you in and the story is so much that it's hard to put into words.

I am grateful...

It amazes me how far my journey has come. In 2016, I released a novel titled Rain. Much love poured in over this fantasy story. Readers begged for book two, River. Now, we are finally to the third, MIST.
Thank you, so much, to all who have been with me in the last years and joining me now.
Your support is beyond what I could have ever hoped for.

Namaste.
Your author,
India

Absolutely Phenomenal Ending!

WOW! This was an extremely emotional conclusion to an utterly phenomenal series. A story of love and hope that transcends beyond the boundaries of time. It is truly magical in every way.

This amazing author gives a us view into a fantasy world full of beauty, passion and love with complex and intriguing characters and twists and turns that will have you completely enthralled and riveted to your seat.

Rose and Ryder are two very passionate characters who will do anything for each other and their tribe. Their story had me laughing and crying throughout. My heart ached for their continued loss and their pain. But my heart also swelled with love due to their devotion to one another, their intense strength to preserver and their connection to the universe and nature. It was truly beautiful to read.

”To those who have the courage to say goodbye, even though they wish to never have to speak such a word” Words that had me crying!

This is one series that will forever have a place in my heart. India is an amazing author that has the unique ability to propel us readers into a fantastical world that feels like home. She is a masterful storyteller who pours her heart and soul into each and every book she writes. This series is no exception. Every word, every chapter, every character is written with passion and love.

This is definitely a series not to be missed. Highly recommend.

This is the third book in the A Stranger in the Woods Series and it is one enthralling, emotional read. It is not a standalone and should be read after Rain (book 1) and River (book 2.) This book continues Rose, Ryder and Gunner’s journey. It is a journey of hope brought to life by the weaving of verbiage that the author uses to create this wonderful world. The emotional descriptions that pull at readers’ heartstrings so it feels as if all are alongside the characters. This is one storyline that from the powerful quote after the author’s introduction, sets the tone for what is to follow. You will not be able to put it down and will do what is necessary to block out everything else until it is finished. This is definitely one series that you need to read for yourself and I highly recommend it.

What a wonderful finale to A Stranger in the Woods series!
I cheered on the epic battles and laughed at all the banter. I may have even got a bit teary on several occasions, not all of them sad either!
This is a really emotional read, on so many different levels. Ms Adams brought it all together beautifully and I admit, I am sad the series has finished, but like all good things, it has to come to an end and I hope that we'll get mention of our heroes at some other point in time...
Rose, Ryder and Gunner are true heroes! ;)

I didn’t know if my heart was going to survive Mist. I have never cried so much during a book, both happy and sad tears! There are your fair share of ups and downs in this book and when they are up, they are the most beautiful, glorious times I’ve ever seen. But when they are down, they are devastatingly haunting and I feel my heart breaking all over again. The love, devotion, and understanding they all have for each other makes my soul sing and this series has quickly jumped to one of my top reads. It’s not an easy ride, you are definitely going to have to work for it but the ending makes it all worth it!

I can’t even begin to describe how impeccable India’s writing is and this book is just a testament to how talented she is. This follows suit along with the continuation of Ryder, Rose and Gunner story and it’s is such a amazingly beautiful story that will leave you with all the feels. You really should read this series starting with Rain then River and finally Mist. You will not be disappointed in the slightest.

Mist

Two bloods of one will bring down the shadows, to cast no more. Rain will grow as River flows, within the Mist.

an amazing, captivating and enthralling story. Mist is the best so far. I’m emotionally exhausted from this tale and excited at the same time. I could not stop reading, not once.

India R. Adams is a genius...one who likes to torture you while you live in the worlds she creates. But you're never mad at her, not for the tears, not the fears, because there is love. There is love and inhalations and exhalations. There is love and trust, and beauty, and nature. There is balance. Namaste!

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! So sad to see it come to an end. The characters are so incredibly written you can't help but feel a part of their story. The images she paints in your mind are like those of a movie. You fall so in love with all the characters, not just Rose,Gunner and Ryder but all of them.

This one, however seemed, to me anyway, a bit deeper than the previous two but in a good way. It was more in depth, there was so much more to Ryder, to the young, to everyone in this one. As always, she had me crying early on and throughout the book. There is not one book I have read by her that has not had me in tears, whether it be a few tears, my eyes filling or just a big ugly cry. She writes such amazing characters, you can't help but fall in love with them, even the villains.

Although I am sad to see Rose,Ryder and Gunner's story come to an end I am excited to see what the future holds for the young and the others.

I'm not going to give away any plot lines as it would spoil the readers experience of the emotions India managed to create within the pages.
I've been waiting for what feels like forever for this. When India offered me a chance to read it early. I was like omg omg are you mad woman? hell yes. Gimmie gimmie gimmie.
Yet when I got my hands on it it took me 2 days to start reading.
Why? You ask!
Well I new this was the final book and I didn't want the tale to end and reading it would make it final.

So many answers to mysteries that left you hanging in Rain and River but so expertly intertwined within the story that you didn't even realise.
This one didn't give me the rush to find out what's what like the previous books did. It was more of a steady paced read and I'm sure that was down to me not wanting it to end.
It did however have me cursing India within 2 mins of reading the prologue. I mean, how could you even think those things Mrs Adam's? Pfft.
And GUNNER yay yay yay. Broke my darn heart in River.
I loved the inclusion of Remy and Marley. (My Wolf and Me) amongst other new characters. Which we will hopefully be reading more of.
This final book will have you sighing, laughing, crying and biting your lip in anticipation.

I feel like I've finished a saga that I have literally lived and breathed for the last 10 days. It took me so long to finish these books because the feelings!!!! I had to take regular breaks in order to keep my kindle in one piece!!

This story was definitely a heck lot more complex than both previous books, there was a lot of future and past scenes and whilst it was confusing at times, it was so necessary to the reader to work through these scenes because they are all needed for the plot to be at its best. So many heart stopping moments, moments of pure happiness and acceptance...these books gave me a sense of joy that I haven't felt with books for a while. Binging India has been my best decision so far all year...especially now I've read this series!

The characters all have such a special spot in my heart, namely Blaze, Sol, Rain and Ryder himself and knowing there is another book coming...my excitement is through the roof!!!
