And if Aura wants to end queen Morana, she needs to go back to the start. To the place where Morana’s reign began and the Kresova’s peace ended.

This series just gets better and better! And I’m so happy about the third consort he’s a great addition to the mix! I love all the action in this one too! I can’t wait for the next book!

A bloody sexy thrill ride! In this not to miss third installment of the series the stakes are higher then ever as Aura and her warriors battle for life, love and freedom.
I really enjoyed the twists and turns in this story and enjoyed learning more about the characters and even meeting some new ones as well.
Can’t wait to see what happens next.

This is the conclusion to Aurora's (Aura) story. Some loose ends have been tied. Aura has found her third consort and accomplished what she was set to do. Progress was made.
This series is great. I've been loving the books. Though, this one seemed rushed and a bit disconnected. Many things that needed to be resolved was crammed in to one book. I found some inconsistencies, making me feel like I missed something. I actually went back to check if I had a couple of times. And other times, it made things feel out of place. Other than this, the story was good. I enjoyed all the action that happened. I was glad to finally meet Aura's third. I liked him. However, I wished there were scenes where he came together for the first time with the others, and being brought into the harem. I really loved Reina. I'm going to missed her and her pop culture referances. She was the best person that Aura could have as a BFF and sidekick. Reina really was her Sam to her Frodo. I hope she'll appeared in the next books, along with the others characters that I've come to love. Looking forward to reading about the next Dria. She sounds interesting and I'm intrigued by her. One of the things I want to know is if she knows that she's one of the Drias, and if so why she didn't seek out Aura.
3.75 stars

With Carver being held captive by Morana, all Aura can think about is saving him. While “the gang” (as I like to call them) search for Abe and a all powerful ring that just so happens to be in Morana’s possession, Aura keeps having visions of Carver and how badly he is hurt. So between finding Abe and the ring, looking for Carver, and wondering about the other Dria queens, Marius comes along. And Aura recognizes him. With their history how will she take it when she finds out she is her third consort? How will the other take it? Will they be able to complete their mission?
This is my favorite book out of all of them so far. Something actually happened with Morana, Aura found her third consort, and they finally resurrected Abe. It has felt like the story has been dragged on a little bit. Now it’s finally catching up. But I still want to see the other Dria queens soon! Wouldn’t it be cool if Reina was one of them? Reina is my favorite. She is so damn hilarious. I want to see more of her!! Love that all three of Aura’s consorts are finally together. Can’t wait to see what happens there ;)

What and addictive read! Your heart goes out to poor Aura as she longs to save one of her consorts from the clutches or the evil torturous Queen Moranna. Having her relationship build with Lucian, only to have him distracted with keeping the peace between his and his betrothed's families, and her unsure relationship with a potential new consort (who she doesn't know if she can truly trust in all his wild untamed ways), she is left to wait and plan ways she can free the True King to fulfill the prophecy. Luckily she has her human best friend Reina with her to keep her grounded, bring her back when her pure Kresova side takes the reins, and to lean on through thick and thin.

Aurora will do anything to save Carver and take down Morana. They finally find what will take down Morana down, but it might not be that easy. You can feel the emotions that Aurora is feeling while you read and it’s heartbreaking when she has too feel what Carver has been through. Together they will do what needs to be done to finally end Morana. This series is addicted and you will love Aurora, Carver, Lucien and Marius. I’m excited that there will be more in this series because I can’t wait to read more of these sexy vamps.

Wonderful
I fell in love with Aurora in the first two books and this one did not disappoint as it wrapped up her portion of the story. It was great following as she got stronger, found her last surprising harem member, and saved the one in captivity. Explosive ending that sets the stage for the next set of stories quite nicely. I'm hooked and if you are looking for an amazing RH vampire series you have to try these. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.

While I enjoyed this book, I felt some of it was repetitive and inconsistent.
Aura hasn't grown on me yet as a character.
I don't know what it is about her, but I'm just not a fan.
There was also quite a few grammatical and punctuation errors. (I had an ARC, but ended up reading the version I purchased from Amazon.)
While it didn't exactly deter from reading, they were noticeable.
We have made progress in the storyline.
The third consort has been found.
The King has been freed.
They have saved Carver.
They have gotten the ring from Morana and know how to removed its protective properties.
However, I have gotten to the point where I'm not sure I want to continue the story.
I think it is interesting, but it just isn't enough to keep my interest.
I may see what book four has to offer before giving up completely on the series.
I like it.
I think the storyline is interesting, and I am curious as to what happens.
But it just feels like it is getting a little stale to me.
I recommend reading it though.
I think others will really enjoy this book.

This was the last book in Aurora’s story and just kind of ended abruptly. There was a lot of unfinished things.
She finally gets her third consort. We learn practically nothing about him. He’s just kind of thrown in there. And since this was the last book of Aurora and her men, I doubt we will learn anything substantial about them.
This book felt very rushed. There was a bunch of new stuff added and talked about and then it just ended and will now go to another girl and her consorts.

I am enjoying reading The Kresova series. I do feel that this book was a bit rushed. I would have liked to see more character and plot development. The humor and excitement kept my interest and I look forward to the continuation off the series.

Did enjoy this book but not an much as the others as they’re wasn’t enough Carver for me! Feeling a little sad that it’s the end of Aurora’s point of view but excited to see where the stories goes from here!
October 9, 2018
While I loved the first and second and thought they were complete with character development and the plot points were fully formed... this book was nothing of the sort.
I had issues with editing and feeling like I missed major points of the story, to the point that I went back and checked to see if I missed something but I didn’t, and feeling like the story was rushed.
Carvers rescue was too easy and hurried. As was getting the ring. Knowing that they are all “enemies of the crown” why would Morana invite them knowing that Carver escaped and even more why would they accept? I would’ve enjoyed a hunt and chase on Morana’s part.
Then the intro of the third consort happened and that’s all we got. A spark and then bam, welcome to the fam Marius. With Carver we got all the feels, he was our Lord of pleasure. With Lucian we got the brawn and raw masculinity. With Marius we got... not nearly enough. I would’ve like to have read about their dynamic and how they all cope with one another. Missed opportunity there in my opinion.
All in all I would’ve like to have stuck with Aurora and not have other books about the other drias. All the drias will have the same end game, defeating Morana, so continuing with Aurora could have been about finding the other drias and developing the trifecta. I also would have loved more Carver and Aurora.
I did love this series and “Thirst” was absolutely enthralling but I feel like it went down a rabbit hole during the third and I don’t know if I will continue. Maybe because I need to know the end result... what happens with Row and Reina... how does that harem function... on Auroras hundredth birthday do they all get down together. So many questions...
All in all just the ramblings of a fan but I needed to put my thoughts down to see if anyone else felt the same.

Marie's Tempting Reads ARC Review:
HOLY AMAZEBALLS!! Things get more hot, heavy, intriguing, with some wild action, and some incredible twists in Turn, the third Kresova Vampire Harems: Aurora! I really like these characters and when a new consort is added it really heightens the story.
This series gets more and more engaging with every new book! More THRILLS, more MAGIC, more SIZZLE, and more action, this third book really brings the excitement through the roof! I haven't read PNR romance like this one before and I can say I never thought I would like it as much as I do. Its so different and unique and CRAZY appealing!
Turn gets a PROVOCATIVE FOUR AND A HALF SHOOTING STARS!

While this wasn't my favorite in the series, book 2 was my ultimate favorite. I love the combination of Graceley and D.D. They are a great writing duo that has added to Aura's story really well. I like how Aura has grown in the stories and isn't willing to do anything for the men that she loved. I am not really fond of her newest addition. I am trying to see what merit he adds, but I feel with the later books in this series it might come to fruition. Carver and Lucian are great for Aura and with the events of the book I liked them a lot more. They are two strong characters that I look forward to reading more about.

No I’m not going to give away any spoilers of any kind because I’m not the type that does that. So all I’m going to say is that this is a awesome book written by two fantastic authors! Which I can not wait to read more from them.
So yes I most definitely recommend this book to anyone who’s interested in climbing into this book and getting lost in it’s pages and escaping reality at least for a little while.

Great series!
I love this author and this new series. This book has a semi conclusion as it appears this might be the final one that focuses on Aurora and her three consorts. I don't want to give away any spoilers so I will just say that if you like we'll written reverse harem books/series, I highly recommend this series. This is the third one and they do need to be read in order.

Slightly darker
Book three in the Kresova series took a slightly darker turn. I liked it! The storyline is moving along nicely too; there is no lull or drag. Aura and all of her friends face so many difficult and trying challenges you don't think they would be able to handle any more, then BAM!! Something else happens. I loved all of the excitement and can't wait to see where this series is headed next. I don't want to give too much away, but Aura is becoming one awesome Dria!

Wicked Vampire Queen and Aura book 3
Oh my goodness. Hot vampire harem men, a best friend, voodoo priestesses, Fae, and more more more. The story continues and then gears up to a fairly unanticipated end for the book. Nice spicy story that continues in the Kresova Vampire universe. Of course the answers are not all here as the Wicked Queen is still around and still being wicked.

I love this Kresova series! This book has so many twists and turns. I was so excited to she what happened with Carver and now I feel like we’re just getting started with everyone! I’m dying to know know who the other two Adria are. Such a good read that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I devoured it!!!

Aura is awesome and now that she is staring to make head way with some of her "fated" missions things are starting to escalate. She is coming into her own and with her harem by her side she might find everything she needs to win against Morana. I can't wait to read more about the Dria queens in Lyra!

Great series
This is a fantastic series. The only reason why I didn't give it five stars is because I didn't realize there was going to be more books and this third book I was expecting it to be so much more. The first two were a lot more exciting.

Loved it
I'm giving it a 4 instead of a 5 because of 2 situations that were made out to be hard but came off quickly and successfully, it should have been harder to achieve. A ton of action and crazy good sex. I enjoy these short books and can't wait for more.

This action-packed reverse harem story is welcome, as there are answers we've been waiting for and a third consort we've been awaiting. I happen to appreciate vampire romance, so this series was a pleasure to read.

Aura is a Boss!!
I love a great heroine! Aura has been sassy and impatient from the beginning and it has been fun watching her take on her new role as Kresova. I enjoy her snark and humor! I will be impatiently waiting on the next installment from Ms . Knox!!

Abe, the third consort and a ring
What a ride and I cannot wait for the next Dria. Aura is gutsy and stronger than anyone expects.. Her magic is strong and I think there is more to her heritage than we think.
