Seraphine Thomas #7
Shattered Alpha
Division Chief Seraphine Thomas made a lot of waves in already choppy waters, but progress was also made for paranormals. Some people seemed to realize they were on the same side of the real monsters and changed their tune. Others stepped up to show their support instead of staying quiet.
But progress causes upset, and most blame Sera as the cause instead of realizing the problems were always there.
She’s used to that from work. What she can’t handle is finding a man she loves with another woman. She turns to the one person who’s never betrayed her and gives in to what they both want without considering the repercussions.
Now her personal life is on its head when a wolf shows up dead as a message she can’t figure out and people against progress push back and try to contain her. Will the paranormals and allies she has in Chicago that she’s helped stand with her and fight, or will they betray her and leave her to battle an enemy she cannot win against alone?

need more happy
i mostly, usually enjoy Seraphine Thomas books. the mystery, the action, the drama, the steamy, even the sad moments that may make me cry, really make me feel apart of Seras world. I know life is hard and sucks for most everybody. Its why i like a good sci-fi fantasy to take me away. BUT, Erin, can Sera pllleeeeaaasseee have a little more happy. There is very little happy in any of the books, but this one is the worst. that evil revenge was so horrible to all involved, not just Sera, and i felt everyone was more focused on only helping her not the men when it happened to them too. the book started out good then became sad and depressing taking what was finally becoming stable, loving and happy relationships and shredding them so badly on both sides......i have no words. I don't know if i like the direction this series is going if everything is always so bad. i don't know if i like the vampire councilman and council either. what good are all these protections when the very life their protecting keeps getting injured so horribly. now (spoiler) sera lives all alone again with vampires practically watching every move. its like you hate Sera and torture her a little more each book, and now have spread out to torture her family(her true love) too.
This is the first Sera book I've reviewed, besides just stars. I do read your notes , Erin. i do agree for most part. they are your books and youre the writer. so what happens is at your discretion. i hope you don't think of this as trashing your work,as im not. You do fine work. It's how I FELT.. I read lots of books, especially series (even the ones you've referred to)and they all have one here and there that I'm not fond of. I completely understand you can't please everyone and are going to write how you feel things should go. I will read the next book, and hope for happier times, but may sadly be the last I try to endure if continues so darkly.

Slowing Down and Taking Stock
In this series there are a lots of times that Sera is overwhelmed and worked to exhaustion, she goes through traumatic events and people she loves let her down. Through it all she keeps on going, until one day, the final straw breaks and she needs to stop. Just get off the merry go round and deal with everything.
There is a build up to this breaking point and though Sera has been through things that seem worse sometimes its a cumulative thing that causes the snap. One of the things I like abut this series is that it acknowledges the effect trauma can have and how it effects each person differently, sometimes the same person differently at different times.
I love that Sera is a this badass alpha/FBI agent who can fight crime and the bad guys of the paranormal world, but still gets hurt by a careless word or phrase from a boyfriend. I like that she can compartmentalise like nobody’s business but we see the aftermath of that shoving aside of the bad stuff. I also like that Sera has strong female friends and adopted family who support her and help her work through her problems and protect her to the best of their ability.
This is slower on the plot front than previous books, but emotionally it is still very satisfying.

I'm giving this a 4* because the writing is as always phenomenal and so is the base storyline.
SPOILERS:
But I am devastated to say I couldn't finish the book after Dion slept with Beth. They basically got married and then all of a sudden she's not jealous and is okay to share him. This is my worst nightmare. The other guys (apart from Brian) i am okay with having side lovers as they keep hurting her and she's not as close with them. But Dion and even Brian (expect for at the beginning which in my opinion wasn't a big deal) have been there for her through everything. I hoped they would be the two guys who would stay loyal to her and only her.
And I read your message at the beginning and you shouldn't listen to other people, you should write how you want to write, it is your book after all and you can't please everyone. But as this triggered me and led to me having a panic attack and I slipped back into depression (like seriously it's been a week since I read this book and I'm only now resurfacing from the hole I buried myself in.) I don't think it's healthy for me to continue the series which I am so devastated over and am very sorry about

Review of the Seraphine Thomas Series by Erin Flynn (Books 1–18)
⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Overall)
I’ve officially read all 18 books in the Seraphine Thomas series - yes, all of them - so you don’t have to (but maybe you’ll want to). I’m a longtime fan of Erin Flynn’s writing. Her stories are creative, emotionally rich, and often addictive. There's always at least one character per series you end up rooting for, and her talent for immersive world-building is undeniable.
That said, my experience with this series has been a bit of a rollercoaster. Let’s break it down honestly - but respectfully.
🔥 The Positives:
Compelling Worldbuilding: The supernatural FBI + polyamorous twist is unlike most in the genre. Think Forever meets Castle with a Vampire Diaries vibe.
Long-Term Character Arcs: The series spans a wide timeline and shows dedication to character growth (even if not always in a direction I enjoyed).
Addictive Early Books: Books 1–7 had me hooked. They had humor, high-stakes emotional drama, and solid pacing. These earned a solid 3.5/5 stars from me.
😬 Mixed Feelings & Constructive Critique:
1. Tone and Authorial Voice
While the author’s writing style is generally engaging, I personally found some of the commentary in the closing author’s notes and certain narrative choices to feel more personal or opinionated than expected in fiction. I completely understand the need to address issues like piracy, but I believe there might be more neutral or inclusive ways to communicate those messages.
2. Relationship Complexity vs. Clarity
This isn’t a typical “Why Choose” or Reverse Harem setup. It’s a deeply layered polyandrous dynamic - messy, intricate, and sometimes emotionally chaotic. If you're looking for straightforward bonding arcs, be prepared: the relationship development gets incredibly convoluted. Personally, I found the shifting dynamics between mates, sirened partners, consorts, and friends-with-benefits confusing as the series progressed. A glossary or relationship map might be helpful in future installments.
3. Character Fatigue
By Book 18, I found myself struggling to connect with many of the characters - especially the main character, Sera. She starts off as a resilient, sharp, and likable FMC, but over time, her decisions and relationship management felt inconsistent or frustrating. The push-pull dynamic in her personal life, paired with very little progress in her supernatural education even 18 books in, made it difficult for me to continue rooting for her.
Many love interests were introduced with big emotional weight, only to fade into the background or disappear altogether. Some characters who were well-developed and emotionally resonant (like Dain or Tristan) seemed to get less closure or fair treatment than others who felt more peripheral. In contrast, some relationships dragged on without significant development or payoff.
4. Pacing & Structure
Books 8–18 dropped to a 2.5/5 rating for me. The pacing slowed, and more focus seemed to shift toward commentary and expanding the cast rather than continuing the central storyline. Political and social themes started to feel more prominent than the core plot, which I found distracting from the fictional narrative I was invested in.
🧍♀️Sera Thomas (FMC):
Early-series Sera was fantastic: witty, brave, emotionally complex, and vulnerable. I loved her journey through the early books. But as the series continued, her indecision, emotional volatility, and seeming lack of introspection made it harder to sympathize with her. She often reacted rather than reflected, and by Book 18, she felt less like a hero and more like a character stuck in loops.
💔 On the MMCs:
Too many to list fully, but here are some key points:
Tristan: Felt unfairly treated by both the narrative and Sera. He brought a lot to the story emotionally and deserved more.
Dain: A standout for me. Loyal, strong, and emotionally available. Frustratingly underappreciated by Sera.
Brian, Riley, Hagan/Reagan: Relationships with these characters didn’t feel satisfying or necessary by the end.
Noah, Axel, Eugene, Jason: Struggled to leave a lasting impression. Some started strong but faded, others never quite clicked.
Carter: Felt like his storyline was mishandled. A simple conversation would have solved a lot.
Ari, Virgil, Lucca, etc.: Either forgotten or sidelined. At 18 books in, I’m struggling to remember who’s still important and who isn’t.
⚠️ Final Thoughts:
This series started with a bang but has become increasingly complex - sometimes at the expense of clarity, pacing, and emotional payoff. I’d still recommend it to readers who enjoy dark paranormal romance with poly themes, complex emotions, and an ongoing world that spans dozens of characters.
But for me, the series may have reached its natural peak. I’m unsure whether I’ll continue with future books unless there’s a notable shift in focus and tone. Still, Erin Flynn’s creativity and dedication to her characters is commendable, and I hope future installments bring some much-needed resolution to long-standing arcs.
TL;DR:
Started strong with a bold and complex heroine in a unique supernatural world. Became bloated with characters and unresolved plot threads. A frustrating but ambitious series worth reading - if you have patience.

3 You Are So Real That You Are Magical Stars Stars
Shattered Alpha is the seventh book in the Seraphine Thomas series by Erin R. Flynn.
This book felt as if the author was purposefully pushing the plot to overload the heroine. It's didn't feel true to the character or story to torture her to that extent. The amount of situations Sera was forced into, be it for work, for the pack, or personally had this "trample on Sera" vibe. Which seems overboard given how much growth she has already faced, and the terrors that still haunt her to this point. Maybe the author will show us in the coming books, the purpose for this batch of traumatic experiences. But it still felt disingenuous to how the story of Seraphine Thomas has played out thus far.
I did enjoy that Sera managed to find a Vampire Council representative that she could bond with much in the same, and yet definitively different, to Councilor Haton. Councilman Papadoupolus was a refreshing twist to any previous experiences with the ruling bodies of supernatural species. I think they are almost friends, and I know they enjoyed each other's company. On a somewhat related, and yet entirely frustrating note, Vlad is becoming more and more a character that infuriates me. I hate, for Sera's sake, how well he faked his generosity, and now he just comes off as the personification of pettiness. He either needs to grow up, or be killed off at this point.
I expect we will face the growing turmoil in New York in the next book. I can't wait to see how that will coincide with Sera taking the time to be selfish...?
Each book lands us back on shifting ground within Sera's personal relationships. At the beginning of this book I would have guessed near marital bliss for her and Brian. But something destroyed that happiness. And then when she turned to Dain and it appeared as if they had organically merged into finding their common ground and place within each other, then something destroyed not only that but all of her romantic entanglements. Yet, I am truly terrified for the outcome of Dain's current state of mind in the coming pages.

A-Freaking-Mazing
I mean, the struggles that she gets thrown at her are unreal! She is such a strong woman and to see that she finally hits bottom, that’s real and it makes me appreciate this story more. I’m heartbroken for the things she endures, but I feel as if it makes her better person.
I do gotta day though, with all the trouble she is having with the guys, you figure she wouldn’t jump in a hot tub with a bunch of guys.
Reguardless I enjoyed the story and can’t wait to read the next!

Frustrating
Well she got her way to push away the men in her life. I swear if she doesn't get her shot together she won't have to worry about whether they want her or not. She is making a mess and not handling it. I feel like ripping my hair out because of the way this is going. It is quite frustrating when there is stuff going on and she doesn't rely on anyone. I really like Dain and I hope she pulls her head out of her butt to keep him.

Unsatisfying finish
The storyline I this book was really interesting but I wish it would've more detailed on the case.
There's always so much going on that a bunch of situations are almost on fast forward. We get bare bones of a case, paranormal problem, and then that's pretty much pushed to the side for whatever emotional break she's having from relationship drama or being nearly killed.
It's SUPER frustrating because I really enjoy the idea behind the series.

Great read!
These books fun and original. I do worry about the FMC. A lot. But I'm supposed to. I'm not exactly sad about diminished sex scenes although I enjoy tales where the sensual nature of the lead fits seamlessly as part of the progression. In this one they should be. Will she ever be as supported as she needs? Oh I hope so. I have trouble believing anyone is that strong.
All in all, I will probably finish the series as long as it remains as clever and original.

The only thing is , I have to wait for the next book!
The main character is dealing with stress and like everyone else it only takes one more thing to bring down your house. The author leaves us with a house that has imploded and is trying hard to get back together. More drama and more blood and more power.

Great series!
I love this series. I love how it explores mistakes and missteps and allows all the characters to grow. sera is a kickass heroine but like so many physically strong women, has to come to terms with the emotional toll of living in a man world. I can’t get enough and love this world of paranormal s!

Action packed and heartbreaking
Well it started with a bang! I was seriously overjoyed for Sera at the start of the book then truly heartbroken come the end. Bit as always it is a roller-coaster journey and I loved every minute of it. Plus the 2 short stories at the end. One great insight into Sera and her childhood then the other of Apollo taking his leave.

i just can't read this series anymore. it's one extreme to the next. bigot-this, bigot-that, pages and pages of soapbox lectures, rape, threat of gang rape several times, man-hating, the Sera is abused in every single way possible and i can't take it anymore. i'm taking a break from reverse harem as a whole after this. i can't bring myself to read the genre anymore right now.

I really enjoyed that one, especially the bonus chapter at the end explaining some of her childhood. I also enjoyed that she finally (somewhat) broke and is learning how to rebuild her life with all the changes she's been going through. She's a straight shooter and hates all the "politics" of life, me too. But she has the guts to try to change things to make it better for others.

Keeps you hooked
Sera is such a character to dive into with sexy scenes and excellent detective reads planted in amongst real life potential dramas...and who doesn't know the feeling of being so stressed and overwhelmed? Makes this book and series so relatable. The sex scenes more of a hell I wish, but just goes to show it's not all roses...

Absolutely FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC Again 😁
This series has so much more to it than any I've ever read 😄. I read the beginning and I don't agree that there is too much sex & violence 😉. If anything, this series is so well written that, I truly can't put it down, cuz I HAVE to see what happens next 🤔. Thanks again Erin, your stories are so addicting I'm hooked 🤓.

Fantastic
Another fantastic edition to the series that I throughly enjoyed. I also loved the extra chapter because finding more about Seraphine when she was younger was amazing. Definitely get this book if you love the series and if you haven’t started it yet, you should.

Best one yet
I think this book is the best in the series. I like that Seraphine wasn't whiney. She is making an effort to work through things now. I am really glad that Vlad got spanked by his council. I am really excited for the next book.

Most excellent!
I'm a huge fan of this author. Each book I've read has been an immersion into the thoughts and feelings of the main character. The extra chapters are a fabulous bonus!

Wow
The two separate chapters have explained a lot. Really good story and I can't stop reading this series. I love how Erin has made Sera vulnerable but strong, not just kickarse all the time.

Love it
Wow this young alpha siren/ shifter/woman is amazing she has suffered so much agonising abuse I wanted to cry for her, but how she still comes out fighting is astounding. I highly recommend the series to read.

Erin knows how to craft a story
Only you can perfectly craft a story that drags me to the next book. Your characters are so well thought out and relatable!! I am jumping into the next book!

Good character progression
Sera keeps getting more and more real as the books keep coming. I love the storyline and character development as she comes to terms with her three-fold self!
