The Deadly Beauties Live On #5
Unchained Beauty
I've spent my life thinking I knew the worst that could happen.
Battles come and go. Wars are almost always won in the end. It's easy to grow complacent and forget even the deadliest should glance over their shoulder from time to time.
We thought we had it all figured out.
We were poised for this win before we even went to battle.
We didn't win. We didn't lose.
We thought a demon would be easier to kill, because it's “just” a demon.
Now we're dealing with the mess from our latest failure.
Meanwhile, I'm still trying to do something other than be the biggest disappointment of all, searching for my place while avoiding the one man who could possibly kill me, if he wasn't so busy constantly saving me. My "hero" happens to be my family's enemy, despite the uneasy, temporary truce between us as we combine forces to work against a common enemy.
The enemy of my enemy shouldn't be more than that. Really, he shouldn't. Slade is a terrible person who has done terrible things since he's been freed. Nothing he can do can redeem himself. At least that should be the truth of it.
Just when we think we have it all figured out again...everything changes.
For once in our entire existence, it may not matter who the deadliest is, because all the rules are being broken.
**Should be read as part of the series and not a stand-alone
**Sexual situations/content
**Language warning
**Final book of the series

The Most Morally Grey Character Is Supreme!🩶⛓️♊️
Unchained Beauty (Deadly Beauties Live On, Book 5)
The 'Master' will finally meet the scariest and scarred of the Deadly Beauties in the finale of all finales!💥
We all think we know who & what Slade actually is. He's a 'Gemini Twin', they're the Prophesied twins and extremely powerful. They have a bond unlike any others in the immortals' history. Slade is unquestionably scarred, brutal, vengeful, and violent. He's utterly goal oriented & unfeeling, isn't he? Whilst his twin is weak and a broken man.🤔
Ella has been childish, out of control, and driven by the darkness in her magic. She's dangerous & impulsive. She is keeping secrets from her family & their circle of friends as well as from herself. She can't stand on her own two feet & make the right judgement calls for them all, can she? Or are they too busy trying to protect her, rather than listen to their most powerful fighter?🤔
Slade & Ella need each other in ways that we can't comprehend or even imagine until this story unfolds. This isn't a simple tale by any stretch of the imagination! Settle in for a lengthy ride that will have you gasping in shock, laughing out loud, gulping in fear & wiping away tears. Tears from pain, love, and pride!💔
Go into this book with the expectation to have your mind blown.🤯 Loyalties will be tested and broken, lives taken, alliances forged, stands will be made, unimaginable truths told, hearts broken, lives will be forsaken and given freely too!😱
This book is EPIC in all ways, and that includes Dices chapter, #1002Baby
This is an unmissable series finale and an epic series overall!⭐️💥

Wow... Just... Wow... I'm speetchels.
I waited for this book, never even imagining what secrets will be revealed. I'm flabbergasted. I'm astonished. I'm overwhelmed. I'm just blown away. And I'm absolutely crazily in love with Slade. Damn, that man. He probably is my favourite hero of all times. And I can't say why, without revealing... Well, the bomb! Because that secret was exactly that... A-fucking-tomic bomb!
This story brought so many emotions. I cried. I bitten my nails because of dread. I laughed. I just had a lot of fun.

This was an epic romance that began centuries before anyone knew.
When I started this series I wasn’t a fan of Ella. She was just too much of a goody two shoes for my tastes. God, she’s still pure of heart, but she’s more. She really developed as a character and I adored that.
This was honestly a breath taking romance because of how monumental the story was. It was forged centuries ago. It was saved by someone who bled, cried, screamed, fought, and survived. He treasured one thing, and sacrificed like no other.
The build up to this book was like most of CMs series. You get pieces of the puzzles that make sense for that story, but the solves puzzle is only a fraction of the piece for the larger plot as a whole.
Since this story was published a decent amount of years ago I don’t mind spoiling how much I fucking adore Slade. Yes, I’m going to be cursing in this because of how passionate I feel about him.
I cried when I finished this book. Not because of the ending but because of Slade. Because of what I learned about him. I’m finding it difficult to thoroughly explain how much I love him. In no shape or form was he ever like able I’m the series. He was a cold killer on a quest for vengeance and unapologetic about it all. But those very qualities are why he’s so great.
I’m stumped now. I spent days reading the first series. This one completely out did it and now I feel like just basking in this.

It's always sad when a series comes to an end because you don't want to leave a world that you loved escaping to.
Unchained Beauty was an great read to end this series. Ella and Slade were epic and their relationship had been hinted at in the previous books.
What I didn't expect was the plot twist in this one and boy oh boy did I not see that coming. C.M. Owens threw me for a loop that's for sure.
This book was everything that I expected and more. I love that we got to see everyone from the previous books.
This book had funny moments, intense moments and I absolutely love that this storyline always manages to have me reading until the end. I am not a big para romance fan so for me this series is a fav because it has me so engrossed in what is going on.

I always love her books. Great way to end an amazing series.

I don’t even know where to start, this book is amazing. You get a completely different view on Slade; he isn’t the hard faced psycho we have grown to know and love. He has depths to him that you couldn’t even imagine.
It’s always sad when a series comes to an end, but this was the perfect ending to a perfect series

Slade, a maniac sociopath and probably the most loving guy from the DB.
He loves the hardest and would literally do anything to save Ella.
He did some shady things but finally we get to see why he did the thinks he did.
A lot is happening more than I ever imagined possible. Bonds get cut and powers awaked. Happily ever after might not be in the future for everyone.

Well... There is only one word for this series finale... Fucking Epic!!! Well that's two but it deserves the swear word!
Slade and Ella... The Final story in this amazing series.
I'm not going to go into the storyline because if you've read the rest of the series you will know it's all been building to this book. The final battle. Answers will be given. Truth's will come to light and your fucking mind will be blown straight out of your head! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH The best has been saved for last!
Oh shush of course i have loved every single one of the other books. But this... This beautiful amazing, epic, fucking brilliant book is THE BEST!!!
I seriously do not want to give a single spoiler and i honestly can't get over it. I find myself sat here thinking things over. I'm going to do a complete re-read so i can pick up all the clues i so obviously missed the first time round.
There is no book boyfriend who will ever compare to Slade... my heart clenches in my chest when i think or say his name aloud. He's just THE ultimate hero... actually strike that anti-hero is more like it. Well so we thought. 1002 times will never be enough! I need him forever. He is MINE! Honestly gushing does not even come close!
This whole series, this book being no exception, was full of twists and turns and diversions and revelations that you never see coming. Not once did i go "ahh ha! I knew it!" I did not bloody know any of it and this book just places the juicy cherry on top of it all.
All our favorites are here trying to save the world and what saviours they are! The Scooby Gang! lol
The writing was faultless the tale told grabs you by the neck and doesn't let you breathe again until the last word is read.
I felt every emotion you can think of on this journey, but the biggest thing i felt was love. This whole freaking series is one massive huge love story and i just gobbled that shit up! And... OK I cried!! I bleeding sobbed like a mofo! You will know which part when you read it. Keep those tissues handy because you will need them!!
This author leaves me in awe of her. This series is just pure genius and how she pulled all of it together i will never know. I can't even fathom how the hell she does it but boy does she ever!
EPIC! The EPICEST (Not sure that's a word but it should be) book/series ever!!!!
If you haven't read this series you are seriously missing out big time!! I mean you will seriously regret it! Get on it. Read every last one of them because i can guarantee that even if you're not a fan of para books this one you will be. You will fall in love with all these super-natural beings one by one and when you get this one you will be ruined forever.
5 INFINITY STARS!

I cannot give this whole series enough praise in one review but seriously you need to read!!!!!
I have never before had a book throw my on such a emotional roller-coaster this book had me laughing, crying and staying up till 2 am as i couldn't go to sleep not knowing the ending.
Slade and Ella or Sella as i like to think Dice might call them, what an epic romance!!! Never have i read a male protagonist so in love, While not being a soppy blanket
The story-line is so amazing, it really has us believing all pieces to play can never be shifted whatever the outcome, and such a feeling of compassion for the man who feels so helpless.
The writer throws in a characters other POV when things get to intense giving us a bit of a breather as Sella was heartbreaking at times.
This book will leave you thinking about it afterwards!!! I cant give it enough credit along with this entire series, CM is seriously talented and i cant wait to re-read again at some point in the future to throw me through all that again.
I read CM may do another book in this universe so im hoping to read up on characters i love in the future and see what new crisis she throws at us.
Thank you C.M Owens, this series was Epic!!!!!!

I am so not ready for this series to end!! #I'mGoingToMissDice
“Your birth certificate is an apology letter from the condom factory,”
This was a love story like no other what Slade does to strengthen himself to be the man he needs to be to save Ella. And what Ella goes through to save Slade just melts your heart and hurts your soul. To be part of a love like that.....there are no words.
“I spent centuries falling in love with you, and I never even heard you speak. I dissected each of those repeated scenes, looking for every clue as to who you were, learned to read lips the best I could, and learned all I could about you” he bites out, even as another hot tear rolls down my cheek. “You didn’t even exist yet, and I loved you so much that I lived through hell to save you from their visions, Ella. I don’t fucking hate you,” he says, his voice so raw. “No matter how hard I’ve tried to do exactly that.”
This is the best PNR series that i have every had the pleasure of reading. It really give us EVERYTHING!!
I can't recommend C.M. Owens enough all her books are fabulous they devour you. Weather it's her PNR reads, Romance, MC or her Laugh Out Loud reads. She should be read!!

Feeling sad I’ve finished the series. Reading the From the Author note at the end had me teary, knowing she never got to write her ideas for a spin off series. I love how her mind worked, the stories she created, the characters she brought to life.
Slade was a wild ride. Introduced early in the series each book he was the villain who always saved Ella. Obvious they had something going on, but he was always such a grumpy, ruthless arse designed to make us hate him. But I never could, even when he said cruel things to Ella trying to make her hate him.
This book had the surprise element of his journal and the most epic love story …. A man who loved a woman for centuries, watching her die a thousand and one times and hell bent on saving her, no matter the cost.
Ella, she did come across as immature in earlier books, heck she’s only 20! But that was also on the fault of everyone around her. Trying to protect her, treating her like a kid and making her second guess herself.
As soon as she backed herself, she became a powerhouse. Just like her mum Alyssa did in the original deadly beauties trilogy.
Dice, Dice, Dice oh how hilarious and frustrating he is! Literal laugh out a loud moments when he’s gracing the page.
I love that as powerful as the men are, it’s the women who really step up and save the day.

I honestly don't think I can do this book justice with a review. Just go read the series cause this book is just everything. It has all the characters we love from all the books, it has the epic battles, it has the worst "bad guy" literally a demon from hell possessing a witch who has been stealing powers for centuries, and of course there is Dice, never forget the comic relief that is Dice.
This book rips you heart out has your head exploding, laughing your ass of the next moment and at the end your like: "what the hell just happened to me!!!". So you reread to make sure you are not losing your mind but that just takes you on that wild ride again.
This was a love story like no other what he does to strength himself to be the man he needs to be to save her and what she goes through to save him just melts your heart and hurts your soul. To be part of a love like that.....there are no words.
Have to give a shout-out to Dice's chapter he had me crying from laughing so much.
I loved the series and I love this book so much it's truly and epic ending to a phenomenal series of books. It will stay in my favorites folder for a long time.
Well done C.M. Owens for a truly amazing book and series.❤️

Amazing
This book was really amazing to read. After waiting for so long, for unchained beauty, It was a little bit of a heartbreaker to see, I didn't want it to end, clinging on to the pages as if it was the last. I've been inlove with this series ever since I read the first book of Alyssa and kane, following it ever since, as though it was my relgion. The way slade loves Ella. made my heart flutter with joy for her, it was amazing to see the transformation in him once he actually let himself claim his princess. The whole of the series has been an emotional rollercoaster watching each character grow in there own way. Some die. Some brought back. From deadly beauties too deadly beauties live on I have loved each and every single book. I'm glad the kiddies will get a part to play in the spin-off shortly spoken about that brought a smile to my face instantly, smooth move CM. I kind of wished the 10 years later saw most of the couple's with there very own spawn of the magical word.. so we would be get May be a whole new series on the "The deadly beauties deadliest sperm" the name is full banter but honestly it would have been a nice thing to look forward too, another generation of deadlier beauties. A girl can dream right?

This series has to be my fav of all times
When I read a last book, I always feel like I need to leave a review for the whole series. This was just an amazing series!!! The Deadly Beauties was one of my first paranormal rides and I've always kept it in my heart and on my top Fav spot. This series opened me up to all new feelings when reading about people who touch you and make you HOT! 😆 I've been a huge fan of Ms Owens paranormal books and they have never let me down.
Some SPOILERS
I've always had a soft spot for Slade even when he was trying to kill Leah or Roslyn. I knew there was so much more to him and this just made my heart soar. I've been hoping there would be a book for Kimber and I was beyond excited to see this one. I loved the depth that Ms Owens went into about Slades journal and personal thoughts and life. It was blowing my mind and it shows how much she put into the series. I loved the pull those two had and when they finally got together it was such a payoff and made me all hot n bothered. The epilogue seemed to set up a spinoff and I can't wait, I know my main Beauties will still live on in that. Thank you so much for the wonderful hot ride the Beauties gave me, and the name Deadly Beauties is just genius!!!
When I read a last book, I always feel like I need to leave a review for the whole series. This was just an amazing series!!! The Deadly Beauties was one of my first paranormal rides and I've always kept it in my heart and on my top Fav spot. This series opened me up to all new feelings when reading about people who touch you and make you HOT! 😆 I've been a huge fan of Ms Owens paranormal books and they have never let me down.
Some SPOILERS
I've always had a soft spot for Slade even when he was trying to kill Leah or Roslyn. I knew there was so much more to him and this just made my heart soar.

Unchained Beauty, 5 and last book in the Deadly Beauties Live On series. I knew there were a reason why I kept stalling to read this book. *bawling my eyes out* it's the last one in the series...!
"Because hope is the most dangerous thing to a man like me, Ella. Not when I had hope ripped out of me time after time again," he says so quietly I almost can't hear it."
This story had more twist and turns than any other story ( I can think of right now...).
The road the author took us through...just to get to the world-ending-battle in the end...jeez louis...
"Everything I do is because of you," he murmurs against my lips. "
Fuck me, what a journey. What an epic love story!! Slade, the ultimate a-hole, bad boy alpha dick,...jeez, I'm all hot and bothered just by thinking of him...
And Ella, the princess.. totally *girl crushing*!! Really loved how she grew throughout the story!
"Maybe you should have your baby already so you won't be too fat to reach mine," I snap, then I immediately regret it when a whip crack of power slings me across the room."
Yeah, Dice..he's 90% annoying and a big pain in the ass... But, fuck. The books wouldn't be the same without him, and I truly believe he knows that!!

What can I say about a book that is long anticipated, begged for, but at the same time nervously approached for being the end of an era for all its fans??
Well C.m. Owens blowed everything I thought I knew, and felt about these two charters apart.
She only showed us 10% of them in previous books and they are sooo much more! The way she laid it all out was amazing! The story line the twist God I don't think she could have do us any better because she gave us far more than I ever anticipated!
I have read this book with a bitter sweet taste from beginning to end. knowing this is the last of these much loved charters that I've shared a journey within the pages that have had me on the edge of me seat, laughing, crying, pleading with them for more info, shouting at my kindle and so much more that all I can truely write here is,
Start at the beginning with deadly beauty and read every single book that leads to this one!!
You will love every part of the journey that it takes you on I promise 💜
C.m. Owens I applaud you, you did absolutely fantastic!! Thank you 💜💜

The best ending to a brilliant series!
So after putting off this book until I was on holiday and could do the full re-read from bloods fury right through the deadly beauties live on I have finally (and very sadly) finished this brilliant series.
Ella and Slade have been the best couple to end the series on as their secrets have kept the mystery going for 5 books in the DB live on sub series. C.M. Owens masterfully ties up any loose ends and ties in all the connections across 8 books like nobody I have read before. Every plot twist and loose end is tied up nicely in a little bow for us and in all honesty I never expected to get there in just one book. There are so many sub plots and twists and turns but I never felt lost and if anything it just helped to build the suspense and tension of the scenes.
What an amazing book to end an incredible series. Thank you for making me cry my heart out one minute and then laugh my head off the next with Dice’s chapter he is by far the most annoyingly hilarious incubus in existence.

Absolutely Obsessed with this series!!!
C.M. Owens did an amazing job with this series. Her writing style is so unique if you haven't read on of her books yet she doesn't disappoint. If you read this I recommend starting at the beginning of the series. With (DB) Deadly Beauties Blood's Fury#1, Poison's Kiss#2, Red Moon Secrets #3. Then on to the (DBLO) Deadly Beauties Live On with Dark Beauty #1 Gage, Changing Beauty#2 Thad, Bitten Beauty #3 Zee, Lost Beauty #4 Chaz, & Finally Unchained Beauty #5 Ella. This is a Paranormal Romance series, many people who don't necessarily like this genre actually still love this series. I have been reading since the original trilogy (DB). I have waited for every release, and with each one she tops her last. I don't know how she does it!!! Ella & Slade's story is so devastatingly Beautiful. Kudos C.M. Sad that it is over ;) definitely worth the ride!!!!!!

Good story but information overload.
I'm a !anytime C.M. Owens fan. I've read all of the Sterling Shore series. As a matter of fact Maverick 's story was the best. Additionally, I've also read all of the Deadly Beauties books however this was not my favorite. I found it to be a bit hard to follow at times, a bit too long, repetitive and information overload. It had it's moments where I was hooked but then it would get bigger down into such detail.
This is a excellent writer whose imagination knows no bounds. However sometimes there is so much she's creating that she can lose her reader. I love the sense of humor she injects that can have you literally laughing out loud. The character, Dice is a laugh riot.
If multiple paranormal characters and story lines are not you thing you really will not like this series. However if you love a challenge CM Owens has it to give in spades.

I loved this series. Bad boy Slade is so complex and larger. The way the prior books main characters flowed together was well played. There has to be mention of the leather clad Dicera who makes me smile, roll my eyes, laugh and love him. Great ending, middle and beginning... filler meh, over explaining yeah... not so much. (Somewhere out there an agent or publisher or whoever nearly messed up a great book.)
Caused less flow making it harder to follow and got bogged down with literal equations and variables of the variable of the one thousand and second experiment which was actually life in real time. There was a big hiccup with the addition of a species that amounts to a planned spin off. However the entirety of the work was still exceptional. I can not take a star away from this creative and lively read.

Final book read for the year 2020, and this series was an absolute winner of the year!
What a fantastic conclusion to the series! Damn the plot twist, I didn't see that at all, and I love it. Slade wasn't scarred for nothing; it was part of the epic sacrifice to save the one and only girl that's matter to him.
The final battle was a bit chaotic, I was a bit worried how it would end with Slade’s and Ella’s plan on the run, but thankfully, everything goes smoothly, just what I wanted, a HEA! I was also thankful for the epilogue and the author’s note because I needed it to let go of this series, for now.
Anyway, I hope the next spin-off to this series about Kicera, Cole, and the Dragonites would be out soon! Meanwhile, I’ll patiently be waiting and read the other series by the same authors.

Hands down a 5 star read!!
This was hands down the best FINAL book in a series I've ever read. I laughed, I cried, I wanted to scream, but managed to hold it in, barely! C.M Owen's really out did herself with Unchained Beauty. I'm convinced that no one has ever loved someone as much as Slade loves Ella. His story I'd a heartbreaking one, but it also heals it back up by the end. The Deadly Beauties and The Deadly Beauties Live On are hands down one of the best series I've ever had the pleasure of reading. And this coming from someone who was never really intrigued by paranormal stories. Thank you Ms. Owens for giving me a group of characters that will always be alive in my heart!!

So Sad
I am sad that it’s all come to an end. Super excited to read the spinoff about the dragonites and Kicera and Cole. Ella and Slade finally got their happy ending. Slade basically orchestrated the best love story of all with everything he went through. He was portrayed as this bonafide asshole through the entire series only to find out in the end that everything he did was for Ella. It was to save her life. It was to ensure she at least had a life even if it wasn’t with him. He loved her so thoroughly that damaged himself physically and mentally, destroying his bond with his brother and the best parts of himself just to save her. Slade has my vote for the most unlikely romantic.

Unsure - rating 3.5
The story was nicely plotted but the grammar/ spelling mistakes made me think it was rushed (written or edited). I love most of the books by this author and found her through Deadly Beauties. It might be because the series is over and I'm sad but I didn't enjoy the love story in this book as much as I enjoyed the previous 3. And it was meant to be a great love story.
Parts left me confused and certain events left questions unanswered. I didn't feel the bond between the main characters as it was meant to be felt and there were so many agendas I was left trying to play catchup.
I know the author put a lot in this book so I feel a bit bad for this rating.

Ending on a good note
This was a really good book! The characters in this series you just fall in love with. Even moody Slade who you don’t really get to know his intentions until this book. Everything you think you know about him seems wrong. His character surprises you with his devotion to one outcome above all others. We get to see more of Ella and see her personality really shine. This series I highly recommend! Warning: I cried on a few occasions in this book. The things that Slade endured in the slave rings and his sad relationship with his brother got to me. It was so well written you felt for him and even grieved a bit with him. I’m so looking forward to more from this author. She truly has a gift!!

An EPIC love story
I am not sure where to begin...This is by far the BEST paranormal love story. You can feel Slade's & Ella's emotions, bond and eternal love. It was everything I expected and sooooo much more. This is the last book in series, so most of the characters were constantly present and active through book. It has laughter （and I meen BIG LOL）, tears （Slade's last goodbye to Ella ）, some real action&drama. Even if your not a para fan, you should read it... Even though he has been real pain in the a*s for everyone, I must say this: nothing would have been the same without Dice. Literaly LMAO 😂😂😂😂

I knew 100% that I would love Slade even more in this book. That man is my favourite, he has so much strength even when so incredibly weighed down with so much pain. Blocking it all away. His love for Ella is beautiful. Ella seriously came into her own in this final book. Strong sassy and brave as all hell. Everyone lacks faith in her due to worry she can’t handle her powers but she comes through as powerful as ever when I counts. An amazing end to s perfectly captivating series. We need them in paper back now please. If you don’t read this series yet you like paranormal then, you’re a fool 😘.

Wow - don't think I have the words to describe what I just read...............
This series - Deadly Beauties & Deadly Beauties Live is so amazing it took over my life while I was reading it. Nothing could prepare me for this last book though. The depth of the content, the characters and how everyone's lives affected the others. I don't want to give spoilers but just be ready for one of the most intense and detailed stories you have ever experienced. I am thankful our author's mind works like this but I can't even imagine what she has to go through for this writing process. Keep them coming - I love all your stories and genres!!!
