Rate this book
The thrilling conclusion to the Heir to the Alpha serial from USA Bestseller Tasha Black…
Dark secrets are forced into the light…

As Grace and Cressida unravel the mystery of Fletcher’s Cove they find themselves more deeply entangled in the fate of the strange little town than they ever imagined. Love, lust and intrigue battle for their attention, but if the two women want to capture the moroi they will have to keep their eyes on the prize.

Back in Tarker’s Hollow, Ainsley and Erik are hot on the trail of the missing wolves. But with the Federation monitoring their every move they can’t let on that anything is amiss.
And even if they can pull the wool over the councilman’s eyes, they can’t stop him from tearing their family apart.

When desperate times force desperate action, unthinkable choices must be made.
Will the world ever be the same again?


This steamy shifter tale of love and mystery will be most enjoyable for readers who have already read the Tarker’s Hollow serials - Curse of the Alpha and Fate of the Alpha.

A continuing story:
Heir to the Alpha is told in six installments, or episodes, like a TV show. Each episode contains a cliffhanger to entice the reader to tune in for the next one!

Wow! Just wow! What a fan-freaking-tastic finale to this phenomenal 3 part serial novel! Ms. Black has blown it out of the water; hit it out of the park, or whatever cliché floats your boat ;) All I know is I’d give this ep’s 5&6 in “Heir To The Alpha” a resounding 6 stars if I could! If you love fiction, contemporary romance, action, suspense, and of course magic and mystery, even new readers to PNR shifter books, the stellar writing, descriptions & relatable characters will make you a new fan for life! ... I highly recommend this whole 3 book serial and strongly recommend you start at the beginning of the world of Tarker’s Hollow with Curse of the Alpha!

What a wonderful and surprising end to this great serial! Ms Black really has a hit with this one.

I'm not going to even say anything that may give away the ending, suffice it to say........Ainsley and Erik are doubly surprised and although they do have to fight off some weird beings to get their HEA all around for both their packs, not only their own, it is well worth it

Cressida finds that she can really rock when she has to, her grandpa really knows what he's been talking about and Javier couldn't be happier with her new found hobby.

Grace makes a decision that not only affects the world of magic as well as her own, but gives her an HEA she did not expect at all.

And Tarker's Hollow residents enjoy festivities they never thought they'd ever have again!

I would recommend reading this whole serial, you will not be sorry you did! Did I mention that you might need a little hosing down...LoL

Tasha Black never fails to amaze us with her world building as well as the emotional building she does in every book.
Once more she has managed to give us a book filled with action and filled with strong emotions(be still my heart!)
I love revisiting this world.It feels like home and watching the stories of those characters is like returning home back to familiar people and places.Well developed story with lots of turns that you don’t expect but also moments you will laugh.
I have to warn you now that I did cry in this book.
What I love the most is that at the end of the book (sometimes its sad when you finish them) I was left with a post book bliss and feeling happy and content .
Tasha Black did right by her characters and it showed through out her book.
An excellent job really well done!

This series is truly amazing and thier are two parts of the story covering 2 groups in Heir to the Alpha. In this book the first group is Grace she is a cop for Tarker's hollow and a witch. Then thier is Cressida a wolf shifter and Ainsley's right hand girl or wolf.
They has set out to distroy the evil being known as the Moroi. It's able to look like anyone or thing while it kills and feeds. They tracked it to fletcher cove and the site of another port hole in that town. But when they hit town they have a murder mystery on thier hands and a murder to catch along with the Moroi.
The 2nd story is about Ainsley and Erik. The are mates and alphas of two packs joined as one. They have been losing members. Thinking it's because of the two packs joining they let they pack leave if they wanted to but something evil is in the woods. Could it be why some of the people are missing and if so what is it?
Then the wolf federation is sticking thier nose in to things making Ainsley and Erik worry.
There are a whole lot of twist and turns to this amazing story plus it has a few surprises with a wonderful ending! I LOVE the characters. They have become old friends and I loved reading about thier adventure.
Shifter fans this is a must read!
Voluntarily reviewed a copy and I honestly loved it.

Amazing!!!!!!!

I really don't know what more I can say but this series was a 10 star. I have read books for years, but I have never read an author who can make every book even better than the last. But that's exactly what she does. I don't want to give away anything on this book, it's just to good for that. But I was so sad knowing this was the end..... But I'll be honest I cried. I know the characters got their amazing happily ever after. And they deserved it. I just hope maybe this isn't the end 💜 Tasha Black is the best author I have ever had the privilege of reading. Her books have it all. Love,drama,family,loss,loyalty, happiness,crazy paranormal creatures.... and so much more. If you want to read a book that is ... well everything you could imagine in a story that will keep you wanting more. Thin this is the author and books for you. She is a one in a million top notch author !!!!!

These episodes of this series were incredible and kept me up till late at night as i could not put the book down at all. The action kept me at the edge of my seat and I got quite a few surprises in these two episodes. Truly, an awesome conclusion to an incredible story. The action was constant, the erotic scenes were incredible and I found that it was expertly written as well by Tasha Black. I absolutely love the format that she is writing her books in. It offers a high level of making the reader an addict of her stories in no time fast. If you love page turning stories, shifters that you will remember for a very long time and an adventure like you have probably never read before, I strongly recommend this book.

Best darn ending I could ever hope for the Tarkers Hollow pack!!! Everyone gets their happy ending and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way! I mean come on Cressida finally faces the fact Javier is her mate and she finally finds something she has a passion for and is really good at, Grace gets to vanquish the evil and gets her HEA, and Ainsley and Eric get to finally become one happy family! Plus, its the beginning of both of their packs coming together as one. Ahh all is right in the world for all shifters!!! I can't wait to read what's next for our little town of Tarkers Hollow!!!

I voluntarily agreed to read this book and this was my honest review!!

The end of the heir to the alpha series but not the end of the story line. Cannot wait to continue the series with the next bundle. I'm enjoying everything about that's harker's Hollow group of wolves and the citizens they have as friends they consider family. Full of excitement mystery sex and shapeshifters not to mention witchcraft. Off to read the next bundle of books about the Alphas and citizens of Tarker's Hollow.

Grace and Cressida have wrapped up their hunt. They were able to finish what they started. The end has surprises involved that no one saw. Ainsley and Erik has found themselves in a world of hurt. They were able to come through this stronger than ever. Ennis makes some clarifications on the Federation.

Magic awakes

You are kept spinning all the way to the end with this one. Grace and Cressidia have to overcome their fears and be the beings they were meant to be. Ainsley and Erik are strongest together and work hard to protect their packs. Together they can all have what they really want and need. This is such a great update to the Tarker's Hallow world.

     Did anyone expect anything more from my golden lady she is forever the most talented writer there is, oh yeahhhhhhhhh Ms.Tasha is at the very top of the list. I cried at this conclusion, I just didn't want it to end. Yet I love it when everything ties up. This is definitely a Must Read Book/Series, you can never go wrong at Tarker's Hollow.
     Analise and Jenny became pregnancy  friends, helping each other out (1st time mama's do not know what to expect and if this pain or that pain is normal). Than Analise, Erik, Jenny and Ennis were all fighting the aractnids (spiders), they weren't little either. The Queen is calling all her minions,. Will this be to much for them to handle?
     Grace, Cressida and Javier are fighting the moroai at Fletcher’s Cove only to walk into a trap. These three will fight to the death to be rid of the moroai. Can they survive?
     A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion

First I have to say--I AM HAPPY-- I can't tell you why no spoiling here. This is the end of this series. Thank you, Tasha Black, for such a good story. For introducing us to characters we won't soon forget and for bringing magic to our reading world.

The previous chapters left two adjoining storylines ending with some of our friends in real trouble. Cressida is diving headfirst for the ground when she realized the moroi attacking and killing Javier. How can she save him? Herself? We learn some secrets no one, even Cressida didn't know about her. Erik and Ainsley are on a quest for the missing pack members no longer believing they are leaving of their own free will. With her pregnancy and the council intent on breaking up her family, they still must save their packs.

There is so much going on. So much revealed. It is difficult to tell anything without telling too much. I will simply say, plan on reading from page one to the end because you won't be able to put it down without finding out how it ends. Which is...well I can't say. I can say you will love it.

Now, a message to the author. How could you use those nasty critters against anyone, especially Erik, Ainsley, and their pack? Ewwww! Enough said about them.

I hope you are left with questions you want to be answered and read this. It is a wonderful end, despite the critters mentioned above. A shifter, PNR, romance. Keep the romance in mind because even if you can't see how it can happen there are rules for the romance and one is a HEA. Don't worry, there will be plenty of humor, tenderness, steam, and surprises. I heartily recommend this to all. If you haven't read the first two parts, it will be better to read them first. Well worth it.
I voluntarily reviewed this advanced reader copy and I have not been compensated in any way.

WOW! What a powerful ending to this serial! Grace and Cressida are getting to the bottom of the mystery of the Moroi and Ainsley and Erik find out what the Council has in mind. Everyone gets surprises in this book, and what surprises they are!! Some of them you may have an idea of and others, it's OMG moments.

I love these characters and Tarker's Hollow and hats off to this author for this amazing story. The appearance of some characters from other stories was a great surprise! I hope this isn't the end of Tarker Hollow stories. Highly recommend reading this serial, a definite must read! I received a copy under no obligation.

Heir to the Alpha: Episodes 5 & 6: A Tarker's Hollow Series
by Tasha Black
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Oh My! This is one of Tasha Black's BEST and I enjoyed revisiting Tarker's Hollow. The two alphas Erik and Ainsley is still edge of your seat exciting. This story is so full of intrigue, suspenseful, passionate and a rousing surprise. Tasha has created a phenomenal serial that delivers all the promises of an amazing paranormal serial. What I love the most about this serial is it's characters, monsters and even the bad characters it doesn't matter they are all fantastic. Each one of the episodes you read get more and more entertaining and exciting but I need let you in on a well known secret once you start to reading them you'll be addicted and want to read them right through to the end. In these episodes Grace and Cressida must unravel the mystery of Fletcher’s Cove while Erik and Ainsley are on the case of missing wolves and of course there are mates to be discovered. What a thrilling and captivating read! Grab this book and get ready to throughly enjoy yourself! This serial is more than worth it!! I voluntarily reviewed this book. Because I like sharing my thoughts with my fellow readers.

Cressida and Javier fight a Moroi but it disappears so they talk to the local Alpha about a portal so they can track the Moroi better.
Ainsley puts an idea into action to find the missing people/wolves but when they reach the location Ainsley, Erik and Yusef encounter.....
Can good finally over come Evil? Will Ainsley or Erik have to leave?
Read this to figure this all out and more!!
