About the author
M.H. Soars
29 books432 followersI always knew creative arts were my calling but not in a million years did I think I would become an author. With a background in fashion design I thought I would follow that path. But one day, out of the blue, I had an idea for a book. One page turned into ten pages, ten pages turned into a hundred, and before I knew, my first novel, The Prophecy of Arcadia, was born.
I live in Florida with my husband and baby daughter. I'm currently working on the Arcadian Wars series, the Elements series, and the Love Me, I'm Famous series.
Arcadian Wars is a YA Paranormal/SciFi Romance series. It follows the life of a group of teens who possess incredible powers and have a very important mission: save their planet and in the process, save Earth too. The first book, The Prophecy of Arcadia, and the novella, The Fall of Arcadia, are already available. The second book, The Phoenix Shadow, will be published in the summer of 2015.
Elements is a new YA Paranormal Romance series. It focuses on two sisters who hold the key to stop a full-blown war between elemental beings and humans. Look for the first book by the end of 2015.
Love Me, I'm Famous is a NA Contemporary Romance series and each book will be a standalone focused on different characters. As the name of the series suggests, at least one of the characters in each book will be somewhat famous. The first book is slated to be published later in 2015.

Best book series I have ended reading this year so far!!!!!! I'm book hooked for life now!!!!
Holy bats on a butt cheek cliffhangers need to be banned or forbidden or cursed because this book was so damned good! It left me on my toes till the very end and just for the record I hope there is more to this series or something because there is many more unanswered questions like how many pups (kids) does Red end up pregnant with and what happens to Nadine what type of paranormal is Red's best friend why does Erin need protection and from what?! Ugh there's just so many unanswered questions!!!!!!!! And what happened to the succubus!?

Best in the series
This book was so action packed it could've been a while other book...I'm glad it wasn't though. I LOVED the different POVs when everyone was separated, that made me stay in the edge of my seat for a large portion of the book. I have definitely become a fan of MY Soars😍

LOVING THIS SERIES WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING.
January 15, 2019
I absolutely LOVE this series!!!! And this one did not disappoint!! Ref, Dante, Sam, and Triston are once again on fire and the objects of my abjection. The heat and chemistry between them is so much that you need to fan yourself throughout the entire book. It was so intense I couldn’t put it down. The twist and turns that we’re out into this book had me in the edge of my seat, there were times that I thought I was gonna cry but in the end I was cheering! It’s an emotional roller coaster but one that’s so worth riding. M.H. Soars has done it again and I can’t wait to read the next chapter of their adventures!
January 16, 2019
An amazing ending to a trilogy that had me hooked from page one! Mystery, murder and fantasy seeping from each page had me hanging for more! Soars weaves a tale that I never thought possible and one that keeps you wanting more! I know Crimson Hollow isn’t done with me and I can’t wait for more secrets to be unleashed! This trilogy is only the start of something amazing and it was the perfect place to start!
I love being taken to another place especially when it’s a town that seems so modern but is nothing like it seems! Makes it easier to go through daily tasks wondering what secrets the world may have! Having a fantasy novel that links folk tales, mythology and stories we have heard since childhood turned into an adult read has been amazing! I have enjoyed seeing how Soars incorporates each one and how much more she has made the stories!

What an amazing series!!!! This book had me on a emotional rollercoaster. One minute I wanted to cry then I was angry. Packs queen had so many twists and turns. I was pulled into Red and her mates world so much that I could not put this book down. This is one of those books that you will make you want more and more.

A bang of a finish!
The intense wait for this book was worth every agonizing minute! Couldn't be happier with the way things ended but also can't wait to read any future books about crimson hollow and it's other supernatural citizens!!

OMG, this series was awesome! I can see a spin off coming from it and if there is it probably will be just as awesome. Red and her allies have defeated Valerius, but her mates? Her Ex still loves her, but how does she feel? Who should she save? or can she save both? What is with her Grandmother? Can she defeat Harkon or will she be fighting him for all eternity? I don't want to say much because its a have to read to really get the full affect and not give away anything. I received a free book for my honest review.

I wanted to love this book and this series. It started off strong. But the pacing started ramping up and by this last book it was just to fast for anything to feel meaningful. I found myself just waiting for it to be over. So many new characters introduced and not enough time to develop them left me feeling bored and uninterested.
January 16, 2019
Omg. Amazing book amazing series. Kept me on the edge of my seat and lack of sleep to find out how they defeat the archdemon and save the pack.Seriously can not wait to see where they take the next series with erin.

AMAZING!!! I absolutely loved this series! Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Definitely a must read! I can not wait to see what else is in store for Crimson Hollow.

Great ending
This was a great ending, or was it? It was nice to see a lot wrapped up but still leave us panting for the next installment. Just delightful.

A fantastic ending to an unputdownable series. Full of twists and turns, surprising revelations, and romance, this is a series you can’t miss if you love reverse harem with a solid plot.

Amazing
This book is absolutely amazing and it’s full of suspense and heart wrenching drama. It’s definitely worth a read if you need something to fill time.

Rollercoaster in reverse
This series starts off slow and informative. As you move to book two it picks up its pace and world building and relationships. By book three it’s an all out supernatural world building experience with love, lust and determination. As a series this one ROCKS!

January 7, 2022Meh (The end of my review has spoilers, but the beginning does not)
The series started out okay. Book 2 was mediocre. This book was meh. Honestly, this series felt like it had waaaaay too many plot points it was trying to cram in to one story (see below for spoilers). The romantic relationship between all of the characters felt like "Hey, here's some insta love, I'm not going to work to develop the relationship past that, but my characters are going to be madly, deeply in love with one another".
Spoilers:
*
*

So the plot points crammed in this book are:
-Multiple mates when there is only ever 1.
-Strife among the pack
-Strife with other supernaturals
-Strife with a rival pack
-Human hunters colluding with the rival pack
-Scientist working with human hunters to implant microchips that control wolves
-A demon that is controlling the rival pack
-Some microchips that have demonic essence in them
-Reincarnation from past lives
-Centuries old feud between the demon and the main characters
-Kidnapping of the FMC
-An ex love interest making a dramatic return and causing tension
-Betrayal of the pack by pack members to the rival pack
-Microchips implanted in 2 of the main characters
-Betrayal of the MC by relatives
-Mates being separated and sent to 2 different realms
-Journey to said realms
-Torture by demons
-Fae kings taking slaves and forcing them to fight in gladiator style battles
-Main characters "rescue attempts"
-FMC going in to heat with weird, unexplained, never talked about again "knotting"
-Greek goddess meddling
-Not so surprise pregnancy
-And I'm quite certain there is more that I'm missing
It was all just a little too much. Honestly this could have been 8 books, but I probably would have lost interest around half way. I had to force myself to finish and get through this book. I have zero intentions of rereading this series.

This book and The whole Series was AMAZING - well written, characters fullblooded, twists and turns made me want to read it whole in one sit. What will come to Red and Her Alphas? Well they manage to survive and secure everything that will come upon them?
Some things to deeper than The others so się comfortable and read this one with full pleasure you can get from it!

You have got to be kidding me..this is how this shit ends?!
Foolishness....
The story itself is decent, the execution of said story..garbage, holes every frigging where!!
What about Alex and his people? Martin?
What about the fae in the wastelands? Thought she wanted to help him?
Dante's vision? Wtf was it?!?
What about Trinity? Where did she go?
I can go on and on.
What about Nadine's brother? No reunion, the damn girl steadfastly protected him, would have been nice to see them reunite.
What happened to the Panthers? How is Nadine a hybrid?
What's going to happen to the Shadow Creek wolves?
Her idiotic beef with her grandmother?
Her parents?
And on and on.
The wolf guardians, are they a part of her now forever? Don't the follow Artemis?!?!
And on and on and on.
Xander and Nadine?
The Montreal alpha..why did he do it? What was the goal?
What's going to happen between Red and the mayor's daughter? Let's just throw a stupid ass conversation at the end of the book.
Stop throwing in random shifters and supes all willy nilly..a frigging squirrel?!
Squirrel?!?!
No proper wrap up at all on anything except the death of the archdemon, and that was executed weak.
Artemis hated Tristan, but when he was Alessandro he tried to help, you wrote it down!!! I just don't get it.
And on and on and on.
The Pack's Queen..where the hell is the pack?!?!?!

Frustrating
3/4 books read and there's still not much that makes sense.
***spoilers***
There's just so much going on in this little town. The last war that we know nothing about but it continues to be brought up. All of the nonsense from the shifty mayor, the hints about her daughter, the time traveling, all of the different realms.
Then there's her ex that's still in love with her but breaks my heart that he just disappears with the obnoxious Daria most likely.
And how in the first book everyone just assumed she would be programmed with how to know how to be a wolf. They forced her to go on a run and no one protected her when she's attacked and left in the forest except for an omega, who apparently isn't really an omega
It just is confusing. So much information but nothing is really explained. Not sure if I'm going to read the last book.
There's a lot that's just thrown in about the past lives, then there's the goddess, the shifty grandmother... we don't learn much of anything about Red's parents except they her father apparently doesn't have the witch gene or whatever, but I don't trust crazy grandma.
I don't know. I think this really needs to be outlined and edited better. Maybe drop some craziness to help the plot be more steady.

Actual rating 4.5
Well that was unexpected.
.
So many surprises in this one I love it. A lot more action, twists and enlightening truths, this was definitely a suspenseful read.
.
I enjoyed more of the humour in this one. It’s definitely that unexpected dry humour and I love it. I love their character progression and development, especially red. She has grown so much and has definitely come into her own in this book. It was great seeing how they over come their hurdles and what they had to go through to be together. This one definitely tested them more than the other books.
.
I really wasn’t expecting that conflict to end how it did and I’m more curious and excited to see how the next book is because of it. There’s no way to predict what’s going to happen which makes the read a lot more exciting and enjoyable. I’m loving this series.
.
An adrenaline filled read with some shacking twists and turns that will have you hooked.

(Audible) DNF after about 75%. This series got a little TOO fantastical for me. I'm cool with fantasy, I wanted a good shifter romance. ...but then we have vampires, witches, high fey, succubus, hell scapes and other realms, past lives/reincarnation, demonic curses, throw in some mind-altering technology, dirty cops, traitorous grandmas, conspiring Greek goddesses, and it's all just TOO MUCH (for me). Like, stay in your lane. The language also got to me. I am not turned off by a curse word here and there - but the way it's done makes a difference and using the "F-word" within my Saviors name is not one I am cool with. I let it slide once in awhile, but when it becomes the go-to curse of the book, I'm over it quickly. Romantasy is my guilty pleasure - but sometimes it becomes just guilt. Not that I'm all holier than thou, but a girl's gotta have standards. I wasn't getting any pleasure out of this one, so I am just going to be done with it and move on.

A great ending
Wow, wow. Amazing I loved every minute of this final book in the series. At the beginning I was on egg shells with both Dante and Tristan gone to who knows where, I was so worried about them that I was glad Red took charge and tried to do everything in her power to get her Mates back, with the added stress of Alex her Ex coming back into her life and finding out he was a druid. Their battle against Harkon continues with their past lives being shown to give them more insight into how to destroy the evil that's plaguing them. This book was amazing and I loved it, it had everything I could wish for, a kick@ss heroine who will do everything to keep her Mates. And to top it off the little excitement at the end wow I loved it. Hope theres more to come.

So the ending of the last book really shook me.
Because it was exciting that she was able to free everyone-- but devastating to know that two of her mates had been taken. Time wasn't her friend.
A race against the clock has her trying to save both of her mates and right the wolf shifter world.
Of course we run up against a million obstacles.
BUT WE GET ANSWERS.
And some of them had me gasping. I swear I called one of them but then the truth was revealed, and I was totally wrong. Which is one of my favorite things.
Being wrong about something means the author wrote it so perfectly that I didn't pick up on the Easter egg.
I wasn't happy about the boys having to endure a level of torture while in captivity. But, you don't always get what you want. And it probably made them stronger. In a really messed up way.

What an Ending!!!
Such an amazing ending. This is such an attention grabber and I couldn’t put it down. Trying to figure out who is helping Harkon and more about Red’s past lives. Red has to track down Dante and save him. Then to find Tristan who has been taken by Harkon as his new meat suit. But Red is determined to find her lost mates. Then it’s time to take on Harkon but she needs to remember more about her past to figure out how. Great adventure, suspense, and steam. And all this is going on while Red is going into Heat making this way more complicated. Loved this series!!
