I love this series, it is my favorite!
It's a little bit dystopian, a lot of sci-fi (but not too heavy on the science), with aliens and romance, oh yeah and it's YA. The writing is fantastic, in my opinion! Wonderful world development (there are many worlds to explore too!), in-depth character development and everything just flowed in a way that I had trouble putting it down!! The characters were really great...some were a little mysterious at first, some were a little hard to like at first, but as all is revealed and as the characters grew you really became invested. I loved Sadie, she was an amazing girl. She didn't think she was at the beginning of the series, but she grows and she meets Logan who shows her a side of herself she did not know. Logan makes her feel really special.

I love all of the characters in this series so much, but especially Sadie and Logan.

The action in this series was very intense and had you not wanting to put down the book. That's the beauty of this set, you don't have to wait for the next book to come out, or go and purchase it! Because when these books end, you will NEED the next book ASAP!!!!

Siobhan Davis writes a wonderful series where you visit different worlds, explore different technologies and meet new alien species and witness a romance like no other. This is a series that you won't want to miss!

The Saven series is a truly wonderful series, a must read for fans of young adult science fiction. It has everything you could hope for: action, romance, plot twists, great characters, an addictive storyline, and more. Once you’re pulled into the series, you will not want to put it down.

Saven Deception, the first book in the series, is a lot of fun. I wasn’t completely taken by the series, but I was left intrigued by what would come next. Saven Disclosure, the second book in the series, is what won me over. I completed it in a single sitting, and such became the norm throughout. It pulled me in, and I could not wait for more. Saven Denial, a two-point-five novella, was brilliant. It opened up so much, leaving you burning with need. It had everything you could hope for from a novella, plot twists adding so much to the series. Saven Defiance is, without a doubt, my favourite in the series. This book had so much to it – it is hard to explain just how much I adored the addition to the series. The things you have come to love about the series intensify in this book. Saven Deliverance, the final book, brings the series to a wonderful conclusion. You’re hooked throughout, waiting to see how everything comes together. Every book is a solid four-star rating, every book more than worth the read.

Without a doubt, this is a series people need to read. A fabulous young adult science fiction series, one you’ll be addicted to for a long time to come.

Wow, Saven Series as a complete box set!!! I wish I had had this option when I was reading the series. Instead I had to wait months between each new part. I hate waiting between books because once I get started in a series I want to absorb the environment in one fell swoop. This series is a little dystopian, a little science fiction, and a lot of romance. You go through multiple twists and turns with Sadie, Logan, Ax, and the rest. My favorite book in the set is actually the novella "The Heir and the Human". I still cry when I think about this story. It was a heartbreaker. The ending of the series is amazing and satisfying. Not to say that I wouldn't want more, but I felt the main story was tied up nicely.

Reader's Digest version: A great read for anyone who enjoys YA, dystopian fiction, or aliens. A must if you are a fan of Ms. Davis's writing. Does include romance.

Also, here's the good news for you, if you buy this boxset, you don't have to wait in between the books, you can just keep going! Which is a good thing, because Siobhan's fans have lovingly nicknamed her the Cliffhanger Queen. ;-)

Feel free to read further if you'd like my thoughts on each book. :-)

Saven Deception:
I became a fan of Siobhan Davis's when I first read True Calling, her first book. I have since then read everything that she has written and published. I've loved all of them. I was of course, excited, when I heard that she was working on a new series. Ms. Davis does not disappoint. Just as she did in the True Calling series, she creates a completely new world in Saven: Deception.

As always, Ms. Davis's writing pulls you in right away. I'm finding it hard to describe this book without giving lots of spoilers, which I try not to do. I love the new world that she's created. I loved the characters. I loved how most of the plot twists were completely unexpected. (I guessed one of the main ones, but because she wanted her readers to, she laid the groundwork early on.)

Saven Diclosure:
I was really looking forward to Saven Disclosure, and it did not disappoint. I really liked this book. I was not expecting most of the story lines. They were just so neat and cool, I found myself thinking, "How does she come up with this stuff?" numerous times. I really loved how I could not anticipate the story at all.

I loved getting to see kind of a new phase for the story, if that makes sense. The characters were in a completely different setting, and things were really different, and really interesting.

The only thing that I wasn't a big fan of, was how the romance was depicted at times. (Only a little bit, overall, I liked it.) I am a complete sap, and I love romance, that being said, sometimes the way Sadie described her feelings for Logan felt over the top, to me. It didn't take away from my enjoyment, and I can even figure out why she was so dramatic- she's 17, it's her first love ever (that right there is enough to make you dramatic), but then when you add to that, the fact that she hardly felt loved as a child, the fact that they have this really cool, incredibly strong alien love bond, it starts to make more sense. I realize that as someone in my 30s, I can't really remember what my first love felt like, or what it felt like to be a teenager- but I'm pretty sure it was dramatic. So, it didn't bug me a ton, but it was something that I noticed. It is definitely not enough to be a big deal, or to take away my enjoyment from the book. It's just something that I noticed, and I think I noticed it, just because of the way that I am thinking about books that I read lately- I'm not just thinking about my enjoyment of them, but also really thinking about them. That didn't really come out the way I wanted to, but hopefully it makes sense. Anyway, I thought their romance was really great overall, just sometimes the way she described her feelings was a bit dramatic, but again 17 year old girl.

This book was wonderful. There was so much suspense, especially at the end. It was so suspenseful for me, and I was so worried for the characters that I had to hold my husband's hand while I read the last few chapters. And then, a cliffhanger!! I cannot believe the cliffhanger she left us on. Siobhan, how could you do this to us? I have so many QUESTIONS!!!!! Thankfully, she's being kind and releasing Saven Denial (a novella) in a month. Thank goodness! I can't wait to read what happens next.

Saven Denial:
After the big cliffhanger at the end of book 2, Saven: Disclosure, I had no clue what was going to happen. I only had one hunch, which did end up being true, but having much more complexity behind it and other things I definitely would never have predicted. There were definitely some very surprising twists and turns in this novella. This book is a nice, fast read- the pacing is great. It's really interesting to meet a lot of new characters in this book, in particular, one who I'm guessing will play a big part in the rest of the series. I am trying to review without giving away spoilers, but, I really loved this novella. I think the writing is some of the strongest I have seen yet from Siobhan Davis. Fans of the Saven series will not be disappointed. Be forewarned though, as a novella, it really doesn't end with a lot of closure, but the cliffhanger didn't feel quite as anguishing as the cliffhanger at the end of Saven: Disclosure.

Saven Defiance:
First things first, if you have read any other book by Siobhan Davis and liked it, then you will like this one; go out, buy it, read it, love it.

Secondly, if you have read all of the previous books in the Saven series and liked them; go out, buy this, read it, love it.

But, make sure you’ve read the Saven novella, Denial, first. You really have to read it before Saven Defiance.

Okay, so this book was amazing. I’ve read it twice, and I still got to places where I had to tell my husband- I need mommy time to go read for 10 minutes because I’m in a spot where I can’t stop. Also, it was one of those books where there was so much happening in the last few chapters that my fingers were gripping my kindle, and my eyes were drilling into the page, and I was reading as fast as possible because there was SO MUCH GOING ON.

Seriously, this book is chock full of happenings. Lots of secrets are revealed, and there are a bunch of plot twists.

There are so many things that I want to talk about but I don’t like posting reviews with spoilers. So, I’ll keep it vague.

First of all, we get some good resolution on the Ax/Sadie/Logan triangle. Who will she choose? You’ll find out in this book. I’m Team Logan, so this book was hard for me in some ways because Ax really got on my nerves. I feel bad for him, because he’s coming from such a tough place, and his life has been so rough, but I don’t like how he dealt with things. But, it was in a love-hate kind of way, as in, it’s so well written, and so believable that you just find yourself wanting to yell at the character, but you’re not really mad at the author for writing it- if that makes sense.

We met a new character in this book called King Coryn, and he’s the king of an alien planet Narik. His character is really important to the series, but even if he were a fringe character it wouldn’t matter- I just loved the guy. A lot of the people in power in these books have no moral compass, whereas King Coryn was just a really good guy, so it was really neat to get to know his character.


I really liked how Sadie came into her own in this book, in a lot of ways she was a lot more mature and confident and that was really nice to see.

Oh, and remember that crazy cliffhanger at the end of Saven Denial, where Haydn was acting all hostile towards Sadie? Well, you have to read Saven Defiance- I liked Haydn so much in the other books and he was making me so mad in this book, grrrr!!!!

Oh my gosh, there’s so much I can’t talk about without giving away spoilers!!

SO MUCH HAPPENS IN THIS BOOK! So much! There are so many things that we find out about different character’s pasts and most of them were completely surprising to me, but then of course it made so many different puzzle pieces fall into place.

So, since I don’t want to specifically talk about all of the amazing stuff, let me just say this again: go out, buy it, read it, love it.

It’s top-notch writing. The more Siobhan writes, the better it gets. Saven Defiance has all of the things we love about her writing- action, romance, plot twists, and characters that we are drawn to: characters we love, and characters we love to hate. When it comes to this book, Siobhan has knocked it out of the park.

Saven Deliverance:
First of all, I love that this was my first read for 2017. I hope it means I have set the tone for lots of kick-ass books this year, because let me tell you, this book kicked some serious literary ass. This book was amazing. I am a huge fan of Siobhan's, and have been ever since I read her first book, True Calling. I have liked her Saven series even more. She has flourished as a writer while working on this series. It has been really neat to see. I am lucky enough to BETA read for her, so I really do get to see how much work goes into her books, because I get to see it before the final edit, and then again I get to see it once all the editing and changes have been made. Her BETAS are always of a very high quality, and then once it's edited, WOW. I usually only put up very vague paragraph reviews after the BETA read because I really like to wait to review it until I read the finished product, but I just can't wait!

This was one of those books where when you get to the end, it's been such a rollercoaster of a ride that you are on a complete book high. I almost feel shaky, as if I've had too much coffee. You just can't believe what you've been a part of, a witness to, and everything about real life feels a bit surreal and muted. (Anyone who isn't a book nerd right now probably thinks I'm off my rocker, but I know true book nerds, especially lovers of YA/Dystopian/Fantasy will get where I'm coming from. Us fantasy book geeks are a whole nother level of bookworm, now aren't we?)

Siobhan had a lot of ground to cover in this book. This series was originally planned to be 3 books, but she realized along the way that it needed to be a 4 part book (plus a decently sized novella). I'm really glad she did, because she does full justice to the ending of this saga.

At the end of book 3, she left us with, wait for it, a cliffhanger! ;-) Book 4 jumps in straight after that cliffhanger, and on your mark, get set, go! Away we go- and the action, the drama, and the plot do not stop until the end. The pace in this book is amazing, and it's part of what contributes to that euphoria when you finish. It truly has been a ride.

There are so many twists in this story. There were a few small twists that I guessed, but honestly just because I had spot on intuition for a few things. There were barely any hints at all, I just had a feeling of, "What if blank happened? Oh my gosh, that would be cool" and then maybe 50 or 100 pages later it would turn out that I was right. But again, not because they were obvious, just because I had a lucky hunch. There were many many more twists that were just, "WHAT? OH MY GOD. Wait, did that really just happen?" My jaw actually dropped open a few times, and I don't remember that ever happening for any book I've read. I also actually exclaimed out loud several times, too.

I really loved the plot line for this book. So many of the characters have growth in this book and it was really neat to see. It was really interesting to see where the Logan/Ax/Sadie storyline went in this book and how it concluded.

I hardly ever put spoilers in my reviews, especially not before they are released. So, there's a lot that I can't say.

But, this book is extremely well written, the storyline and the characters are amazing, and it is so suspenseful! Once you pick it up you will not be able to put it down! This is another home-run for Siobhan Davis. It is the perfect ending to her Saven saga.

Saven Deception
I don't know what to say about this book that would do it justice. I thought that Siobhan wowed me with her True Calling series, but this one has me so sucked in and I didn't want to come up for air.

You have suspense, Dystopia, sci-fi, romance, and friendship all wrapped into one. Most books that try to put so much in one book just cannot pull it off, but Siobhan did it with ease. I was able to follow through the book without having to question anything. It all made sense as I was reading. Even all the Alien things that pop up don't have anything to me that didn't make sense. I felt like I was right there with the characters.

As I was reading, I had my own personal movie playing in my head. I was able to swoon and drool over Logan the whole time. I felt a deep pull towards Logan and could stare at him just like Sadie. He has so much mystery to his character yet so much sweetness at the same time. I can't wait to learn more about him and see how his character progresses.

Sadie is a very strong willed character. You know she goes through so much at her old home and you can see her come out into a brand new person once she can get out and breath. She starts to come out of her shell in a wonderful way. Most female leads are annoying and whiny, but she is anything but.

I found myself so connected to each and everyone one of the characters in some way. I felt their emotions just as they did. Even Dante who I couldn't stand seems to be have a hidden personality that I want to get to know.

I don't know how Siobhan can write with such a flow, but she has easily stolen my first place spot for Favorite Author. Her characters have depth, her worlds have such detail, and the ideas just make sense. The length of the book would usually make me worried about the slowness of it, but she doesn't have any of that. From the second you start reading you are drawn into the book and keep going until the last page. I read this book in between moving and I did all that I could to try to even get a page in here or there because I wanted to know what happened next.

This was such a great read and I can't wait to devour the next book.


Saven Disclosure
Siobhan does it again. She has fully submerged me into a world that I can't stop reading about. Even when I finished this book I walked around the house in a book hangover thinking of the world.

She has given us a book that is longer in length but it doesn't feel like it is a chore to read. You get sucked into all the chaos that goes on without it seeming too much. She balances the times to have a well rounded book.

There is full suspense every page you flip. You wonder what is going to happen next and how much more Sadie is going to have to go through.

Sadie is a wonderful character. She has her moments of stubborn that I want to smack her but I understand where she is coming from. She is blossoming into such a strong woman as each book goes. Even when she keeps getting things thrown at her, she logically thinks it all through and does what she needs to do.

Logan is my favorite character. I voiced that in the last book, but there has always been something about him that made me love him from the start. Even when he throws curve balls into the pages, I can still see there is always a reason for it. He is such a wonderful guy that deserves so much in his life. He doesn't seem like a character in a book to me at all. I feel like I could turn around and have him right here to talk to me. Siobhan has such a way of creating characters that have such life to them. It is very hard to pull off, but she does it flawlessly. Even her side characters have their own personality that is easy to follow.

Sequels scare me most of the time because they usually don't hold a candle to the first book, but Siobhan has a talent that makes me question if she is an alien herself. She is able to make each book get better and better.

I will say here that this book scared me to read. Not because I thought that she would not write it well, I knew she would. I heard about the cliffhanger and how many were mad because of it. I was hoping I wouldn't be mad too. Although there is a cliffhanger, and a pretty big one, it works. It is done in a way that gives you an end to the book but a major need to read the next one. I don't think there is anyone out there that can read that cliffhanger and not want the next book. I HAVE to know what happens. I can't wait until I get the next one.


Saven Denial
Due to a cliffhanger that Siobhan threw at us, I had to read this book without a moments notice! I wasn't even able to write my review for Saven Disclosure because I had to know right away what happened!!

This book makes you question everything about Sadie. Not in a way that makes you hate her, but you learn so much about her. It puts so much into place in books 1 and 2. As you read through the first 2 books you wonder why she is the way she is but never know why. You get most of those answered in this novella.

This is a full Sadie book. You get to be within her head and watch her figure her own life out. I am so proud of her for not giving up on what she wants. She hits road blocks, but she always holds onto her faith and determination in what she needs to do.

Most characters, girl ones specifically, fold at this point. They lose who they are and ruin the rest of the series. I have had several series that I have given up on due to this reason. Sadie proves she is more than that. She is a true power female and doesn't let us forget that. When she wants to sit and cry she doesn't. She keeps going no matter what. I love that determination in her.

You get to find out what happen after book 2 ends as well. You don't get a ton of time in this book due to it being a novella, so don't expect this to make you okay with not waiting for the next book. You get a small cliffhanger in this one. I am still just as eager to get my hands on the next book as I was when book 2 ended. But at least I am able to stomach the wait a little better.

I can't really say much about the scenery in this book because it would give the whole book away, but know this is a completely different area for you to learn. Just trust me that you will still love it.

If you are a fan of sci fi, dystopia, and romance, you won't be able to put this novella down. You will be drooling for the next book just as I am. Siobhan has yet to let me down and I doubt she ever will. I know if you give her books a chance you will feel the same way!


Saven Defiance
Suspense, romance, love, loss, drama, friendship, excitement. These are just a few things that Siobhan is able to pull off in this book.

She has a way of sucking you into the pages from the very beginning. This book picks up right where Saven Denial ends and it flows so well. Most authors have a hard time of getting one book to flow into the other in a way that makes it easy to follow. Siobhan is a natural and pulls it off flawlessly.

There is so much suspense built into this book in so many ways. It isn't just the actual plot of the story that has you on the edge of your seat. Siobhan socks it to you with the story as well as the interactions with the characters. You never know who is going to do what next. If you are one of those that feels they can figure out what is about to happen, I think even you will be shocked and not able to guess.

This book ends in true Siobhan nature, with a huge cliffhanger. It is done in such a way you want the next book in your hands right then, but also to where you can still accept it and not want to hunt down the author. I love being able to end her books and replay the book in my head so I am able to enjoy it all over again.

The characters have so much depth, even if you are introduced to new ones. They already have a personality and flow right into the story like they were meant to be there the whole time. This author truly has a gift of writing and will be able to suck anyone in who picks up one of her books.

I will be sitting here patiently, okay not so patiently, waiting for the final book to be released so I can know how this will all end and I can start to re-read the series from start to finish all over again!


Saven Deliverance
Siobhan has a talent like no other. She is able to get you sucked into a book, and be full of suspense and intense emotions through each and every page.

I am surprised I still have fingernails left after this conclusion to the Saven series. It was such a wonderful ending though I will admit it will be hard saying goodbye to Sadie, Logan, Ax, Haydn, and Izzy. I absolutely loved all the characters and know they will hold a special place in my heart.

Sadie blossoms into such a strong woman in this book and I couldn't imagine a better person to be a part of the story. Siobhan gives you a female heroine that sucks you into each page and makes you love her even more. She is someone that I would love to call a friend. Why can't she be real!?!?!

Logan....swoon! I love this man. He is such a wonderful person and I can't imagine a better ending for him. I know he will continue to be great throughout his life! I like to think even though he is fiction, his life will continue and he will get to grow old with the love of his life by his side.

The suspense in this book is so intense but it is wonderful. There are so many things that need to be wrapped up, even the new twists that you get introduced to. Siobhan does such a great job being able to give you answers throughout the book without it seeming rushed or sloppy. It was written perfectly and had a smile on my face the whole time.

The good thing about this book ending is no cliffhanger this time!! The cliffhanger queen couldn't get us this time! All of them were worth it but I am glad to have the ending and see how all the characters are. The epilogue made it even more wonderful and I am glad to have been able to be a part of their world.

If you like sci-fi, chaos, dystopia, romance, and suspense, you have to pick up this series. Be ready to not get any sleep because you will be sucked into until the very last page!

You are so lucky to have the option of buying all of these five-star books in one set! This is the complete series so you won’t have to bite your nails after experiencing a cliffhanger or while waiting for the series conclusion. Get ready to dedicate all of your free time to explore Sadie’s world; you will not be disappointed!

If you have read Siobhan Davis’ other series (True Calling and/or The Kennedy Boys), you are familiar with her incorporation of family drama, love triangles, seriously hot guys, complex character relationships, beautiful worlds, witty dialogue, and swoon-worthy romance in her stories. The Saven series contains all of the above and then some. Even if science fiction isn’t one of your favorite genres, you will still love this, and if you are a science fiction fanatic like me, get ready to get your geek on with alien invasions, underwater cities, experimentation, time travel, interstellar travel, and sweet interracial (human & alien) romance.

Continue reading if you are interested in hearing more about each book within this series!

Saven Deception

I have been a fan of X-Files since it first aired on television, and this book is right along those lines. I also loved Siobhan's True Calling series. It constantly had me guessing and creating ideas (some completely ridiculous) of what was going to happen, and I found myself doing the same thing while reading this. I am still on the fence about the aliens, and I hate to admit it, but I am not as big a fan of Logan as I think I am supposed to be. I’m worried their relationship isn’t very different than Jen and Dante's, and he is going to have to build my trust throughout the next book. Even though I am not on the Logan bandwagon yet, I still absolutely loved the story. I am so excited to see what happens next!!

Saven Disclosure
This next installment of the Saven Series is incredible. Okay, I know I was hesitant to trust the aliens in the first book, but I downloaded Siobhan’s freebie which features Logan’s POV throughout Saven Deception. Being able to get inside his head and understand the reasons behind his actions was exactly what I needed, and I am now a huge fan of the young man. If you haven’t read The Logan Collection yet, go here and sign up: http://siobhandavis.co.uk/free-stuff/...

The evolution of Sadie and Logan’s relationship has been so much fun to witness! I love how more alien races are introduced, and hope that there will be many more books in the series because Saven Disclosure opens doors to many new storylines that I am craving to read! The end is so amazing; I absolutely love that twist. There was so much build-up to her being an anomaly, and holy smokes, it was so well done. I can’t stop smiling as I write this. I am anxiously awaiting the next in series!!!

Saven Denial

An exceptional addition to the series! I didn’t think anything could top the ending of Saven Disclosure, but boy, was I wrong! I loved how Saven Denial explains Sadie’s past (and future). The time travel aspect was an exciting new addition! After reading this, I believe Siobhan could write an awesome series based solely on time travel! What I loved most about Saven Denial are the new characters that were introduced. A few things I hope to see in the future books include: a romance between Haydn and Izzy, I hope Griselda’s undoing is slow and painful, and lastly, my most unrealistic wish is that Axton can somehow become real so I can have a chance with him. :-) If you are wondering what on earth I am talking about, read the book!!!

Saven Defiance

Saven Defiance is by far Siobhan Davis’s most intense (and my favorite) book, and honestly, I am still shaken up by that ending. The last two hours of the book took a toll on my emotions, and as I was lying in bed last night trying to go to sleep, a certain character would pop in my head and my heart would break all over again. Let’s just say my pillow was soaked with tears and my eyes are swollen this morning. I am going to have to nurse this book hangover with my go-to cure—a MC romance.

Siobhan is a master at throwing us curveball or two, but I was not expecting the numerous twists and turns that occur in Saven Defiance.

First off, I really don’t want to give any indication of what happens because I want everyone to experience it the same way I did.

- The event that I had been waiting for since Saven Deception occurs in this book, and it would be difficult to top any of Siobhan’s other scenes. The writing was exquisite; it couldn’t have been more perfect. I wish I was there to be a witness even though that would be completely inappropriate.

- Both Sadie and Logan mature beautifully in Saven Defiance. I definitely found myself falling in love with them all over again.

- We meet a new character that you will absolutely love—King Coryn. You will have to prepare yourselves for the emotions you will experience while reading his story.

- I love that Sadie returns to earth. Jarod is still one of my favorite characters and I really missed him. It seems like the next in series will feature more of him, and I can’t wait.

- Dante one-ups Griselda in Saven Defiance and wins the award for the most volatile villain. Ugh, he is one sick SOB, but I still love him to death.

- Okay, of course I am going to save the best for last. My beautiful book boyfriend: the one and only, Axton. Siobhan is a genius at understanding the human psyche. The progression of Axton’s emotions in this book is spot-on with what is thrown at him, and I am eager to see what will happen next. I adore the moments Sadie remembers her time with Ax, and I deeply envy the scene where they are on their honeymoon. With all the conclusions I expect to see in the last books of the series, the one I crave the most is for Axton to be happy. Siobhan, please give me that happy ending so all can be right in the world!

Saven Deliverance
Saven Deliverance is a beautiful conclusion to an incredible series. I was afraid to start reading this since I wasn’t ready to let go of the characters, but Siobhan carefully tied up the loose ends of the many plotlines (some I even forgot about) which left me feeling completely satisfied. Full of action, suspense, and swoon-worthy romance, Siobhan also continues the dual POV between Sadie and Logan, and I just adore being in Logan’s head. Now, there were a few scenes that had me sobbing uncontrollably, so prepare yourself with a box of tissues! I strongly suggest picking up all the novellas before you read this if you haven’t yet, and I am excited to see that Siobhan has three more planned!!

I don’t want to say much about the plot because I feel everyone should experience it the same way I did, but I will provide some quotes that I loved.

“That’s where you’re wrong, babe. This is me. You’ve created this monster. I hope you’re proud.” –This scene is one of Siobhan’s best! Wow!

“I f---ing love the bones of you, Sadie Chandler, and don’t you ever forget it.”

“If my aim is off, I risk the whole damn thing exploding on the spot, and then it’s sayonara, lights out, kaput. For everyone.”

“You can do this, brother. I have faith in you.” –Such a moving scene. Get ready for the waterworks with this one!
I have received copies of books 2-5 and volunteered to review them.

This was my first series from the author Siobhan Davis and It was quite a pleasant read. It's really a great YA alien romance series set in a dystopian world. I loved the whole concept and also the amazing world building.

Saven Deception (Saven #1)

All the characters in the book are quite good. Sadie is pretty much likable character and I really liked her friendship with Jenna. She is very loyal, clever and strong headed character who doesn’t falter when finding answers. The only thing that I didn’t liked about her was her constantly mooning over Logan. Logan was hard to connect and he’s kinda ok character but not that impressive. I didn’t liked the insta-love but I think it can be overlooked. The romance between Sadie and Logan might seem cheesy but I really enjoyed it. There isn’t any love triangle yet and I hope it stays that way. As for the supporting characters, I really liked Jenna and Jarod. Dante is really a hateful guy and it was sad to see the awful things Jenna has gone through with him.

The plot was great and the only thing that I didn’t liked in it was that there was too much teenage romance angst in it. However, there are lots of twists in the plot that’ll make the readers engaged to it till the end. I really loved the the world building in it. It was fantastic and pretty much amazing. The writing style of the author was quite wonderful and I really liked it. The pacing of the book was slow at start but nonetheless it was interesting read.

Saven Disclosure (Saven #2)

Saven Disclosure turned out to be a lot more more exciting than the previous installment. I enjoyed Saven Deception but I loved Saven: Disclosure. I was totally hooked from the first page and the story got much more interesting with each turn of the page. The plot is more intense than it’s prequel and I have to say it was simply brilliant. I really enjoyed Logan and Sadie in this sequel and also some new characters introduced in it. This book was a perfect package of action, suspense, romance and adventure.

Saven Denial (Saven #3)

Afer Saven disclosure has left me frustrated with it’s explosive cliffhanger, I was eagerly waiting for Saven Denial. This book totally blew me away with the revelations and definitely not to be considered as an optional novella that can be skipped. This was an engaging read from the start. We get some surprising facts about Sadie in brief and how she’s related to the Tor.

The plot is quite amazing and I really liked the time-travelling aspect in this. The pacing is quite perfect and with the all the twists and turns, I couldn’t put it down even for a second. I loved the world building. Torc is an alien planet that I would love to visit. This planet has a great architecture and high technology especially their time-travelling technology. The whole novella is told from sadie’s POV and I liked the writing, it was quite vivid and compelling.

Saven Defiance (Saven #4)

Oh boy this book got so much emotional drama than its previous installments. It was hard for me to rate this book cause it was between 3.5 and 4 stars but I must say I did enjoyed the story a lot. The story has become more intense with more twists and a triangle that is equally entertaining and heart wrenching. I think this book mostly focused on the awkward triangle between Logan, Sadie and Axton. Besides the romance, the plot twists is another aspect of this series that keeps the readers engaged to the story and come back for more.

The plot is amazing with lots of twists and turns. The story started a bit slow but the pace improved as we go further. The world building is fantastic, as always. Every book in Saven series introduces a new race and a new alien planet that I always look forward to. The writing is very descriptive and vivid that you can easily picture the fascinating world the author has created.

Saven Deliverance (Saven #5)

The story of Logan and Sadie finally concludes in this epic finale and I can’t describe how much I enjoyed it. Saven series is an interesting journey from the start and I can’t believe it was finally over. Though it makes me a bit sad to say goodbye to this series, I can’t help but feel happy that Sadie and Logan finally get their happily ever after. Saven Deliverance is a emotionally intense read and I had lots of feels while reading this because there’s so much loss, anger and sadness in this book. The plot is well executed and all the twists, suspense and the action in it has literally kept me on the edge of my seat.

I liked Sadie in this book more than the previous books. She’s gone through lots of devastation and had to make difficult decisions in order to save her loved ones.The plot is pretty amazing and suspenseful! It was engaging from the start and all the twists made the story even more exciting to read. Though I liked the book, there’s something missing that I just can’t put my finger on it. Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable read. The pace in this book is perfect and there isn’t any dull moment in this book. The writing style of the author is compelling and as always, the book was told in both Logan and Sadie POV’s. From the first first book, I’ve been enjoying the wonderful world created by Siobhan and I’m glad that the final showdown has took place on earth which definitely made a perfect ending to this book. I liked how everything wrapped up nicely and ended with a satisfying conclusion. The author did great job in weaving an amazing story that captivated me till the end.

I highly recommend this series to all the readers who loves action packed YA sci-fi romance!

I wish i could have read these as a box set the cliff hangers were heart wrenching, the series is addictive and you will devour them extremely easily.
Siobhan Davis has become one of my favorite Authors and her books capture you within them perfectly. Her other series (True Calling and The kennedy boys (Finding Kyler & more) are an awesome read, I wasn't really into books that had Sci-fi views / aliens etc, but reading her books has made me open up to a whole new world and many books to devour. Once you have read book one you will be hooked to this series.



**STOP READING HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SPOIL THE OUTCOME OF FIRST BOOK>>***

Saven Deception - I loved the story the idea of the new society of living under water is exciting in itself without throwing aliens into the mix. And the fact that Sadie and Logan are drawn together because she is his Eterno made it feel like there is something bigger in this series to come. Sadie and Logan's story shows government corruption, friendship, love and even his brothers (Dante) lack of happiness. Dante is extremely jealous of Logan and doesn't think he is fit to be the king.

Saven Disclosure: Sadie must be mentally and physically drained. All the secrets, mischief, loyalties and decisions both Logan and Sadie take mount up. Book ends with a cliff hanger i didn't see the end of the book coming, luckily this box set means you can jump straight into the next book...The first book was wow but now that we get to know the characters more we understand them more the more we love or hate them.
Action packed full of drama, love, and tested loyalties.

Saven Denial: This book gives us answers we have been seeking around sadies background, i was reading this and becoming more anxious and excited to where the story was heading. Saven Denial is a short novella but a crutial one at that.. We meet a new character Axton , Ax for short, he is Griselda son and has played a part in shaping who Sadie is. even if she doesn't know.

Saven Defiance: Wow knowing sadie was married.. before being sent back with no memory of her time with Ax. Having him want her to no end. Eterno ceremony is very moving and the bond, beautiful! Sadie seems to get betrayed by most people even if they cant help it happening. I was like wow boom that explains that when we find out who the real fathers are... and heartbroken at those who lost their lives.

Saven Deliverance: Its safe to say if you get to this book you already love this story or at least NEED answers to continue reading. It's simply an addictive read, whilst I'm saddened that its come to an end - all good things come to an end right?..
In this book, we lost characters i knew we would loose and some i didn't see coming.
We saw love that bloomed and some that held their own exciting adventures.
Sadie and Logan still had to battle for the life they wanted for their people. Whilst there were a few twists and turns within this book, most of our questions were answered. It was a good summary to events, from the previous books.

Reading the complete series has left me with a book hangover, so sad its ended.

Saven Deception
Suspense, dystopia, romance and sci-fi all wrapped in one, what else could you ask for. I love how strong willed Sadie is and that she is able to grow as a person throughout the book.

Saven Disclosure
All I have to say is O-M-G, I was not expecting this book to go as it did, but let me say I LOVED it. I get so sick of some of the books that just cram way to much romance in and nothing else. Siobhan makes the reader forget that there are really aliens in this book and the reader just thinks of the alien as a normal person. Once I got to the end of this book I wanted to scream.... I HATE cliffhangers lol, I wanted to turn the page and see what was going to happen next and was like Dang I gotta wait for the next book!!!!!

Saven Denial
I must say I normally loath novellas in a series because they are so short. I rather have a ton of pages and this one made me feel satisfied with the fact that it is a novella, although I imagine if the author wanted to she could have made a full blown novel out of it. I love how Siobhan mixes in time travel into this book and allows you to see into the past and even somewhat in the future, but I wont speak anymore on that as I despise spoilers. You want to know you will just have to read it ;)

Saven Defiance
This is book 3 of the series and is just as fast paced and interesting as the first two if not more so. The storyline is so well developed that it pulls you in and gets you to root for the lead characters as if they are right in front of you. If you read the first two you will definately want to read this one to find out what happens and the big O-M-G that happens at the end of this book.

Saven Deliverance
WOW what a wonderful ending to a GREAT series. This book had me laughing and crying at different times as well as me going OMG in some points. Sadie finally comes fully into her powers and even though she uses them she hates she has to end lives with it. Logan and Sadie are just as in love in this book as the others and it was sweet to see how they stuck together through thick and thin, and believe me they have been through it all.

Loved this whole series! Every single book for me is a 5 star! Love Siobhan's writing! Here are my reviews for each of the books!

Saven Deception -

Loved it!!! Another amazing book by Siobhan Davis!! This book is set in a dystopian world with class systems, and the main character, Sadie, is in the lowest class system. She is mistreated and unappreciated by her family, so she's a bit of a loner and unsure of herself. When she is chosen to go to the underwater city, Thalassic City, she is ecstatic to have a chance to start a new life. On her own, Sadie begins to become more independent and open up to those around her. I like that Sadie speaks her mind; she has moxie, and she's a tough chick with brains; although she does act before thinking sometimes. Sadie suspects that there is something odd going on in Thalassic City, and that the government may be involved. Sadie notices some of her new friends have unique behaviors, and that they aren't being entirely truthful with her. Among her new friends is the highly crush-worthy, Logan, and Sadie is really swooning over him, and Logan seems to really like Sadie, but then some of the things Logan does, makes Sadie unsure if Logan can be trusted. Since it already says in the synopsis this isn't a spoiler, so as it turns out, there are aliens among the humans in Thalassic City, and some of the aliens aren't exactly friendly. Sadie begins to worry about her friend, Jenna, when she starts acting out of character and her health begins to deteriorate. What happens to Jenna in this story is truly vile, and I did feel that the characters actions and emotions involved with what happened to Jenna were very much lacking. Sadie gets involved in some dangerous things, and she's on a quest to find out who to trust, and how she can help her friends, the humans, and herself. Siobhan Davis creates a really interesting world, and I loved how the story developed. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll be a bit vague, but I have a feeling about Sadie, and I am hoping it's true because I think that would add a really unique element to this story. This book kept me interested till the very end, and I can't wait till the next book! Love, Love, Love it! Ooh and I suppose this is a bit of a spoiler, not too much, but I wanted to give a warning anyway, Okay here is comes.......There's no love triangle! I love that! I hope that continues to be the case for the rest of the series! Please!

Saven Disclosure -

Siobhan Davis has done it again! She has written another truly engrossing story! Saven Disclosure is another can't put down, can't stop reading, no sleep book! Siobhan knows how to create the perfect balance between the romance, the action, and the story; her writing keeps the reader engaged till the very end! I loved Siobhan's True Calling series, and now I am loving her Saven series, and I can't wait for the next book in the series!

If you haven't read the first Saven book, Saven Deception, I feel you need to read that first since this book is a continuation of the first book, and will add to the enjoyment of this book; plus that book is awesome too, so it is a definite must read! There may be some spoilers for the first book in this review, so be forewarned! And I may elude to some things in this book that may be a bit spoilery, but I think it's more of the teaser variety rather than outright spoilers.

Saven Disclosure picks right up where Saven Deception left off, Sadie and Logan are a committed couple in deep love with each other, but are separated because Logan is on the road with his family to build support for an alliance between the people of Earth and the Saven people. Sadie is dealing with the backlash of dating an alien; she is being harassed and threatened, so she has to have a bodyguard, Haydn. I liked the addition of Haydn; he creates some interesting drama in Saven Disclosure, and I'm looking forward to seeing how his story develops. Sadie doesn't get much freedom, so the pressure is starting to get to her. Sadie isn't content to sit back and do nothing, so she's been having further contact with the rebels in hopes of helping the lower class from being taken over by the Saven. Sadie has to contend with being pulled at from various sides; she is being pressured to do things that go against what she thinks is right, and she finds herself in some really difficult spots. On top of that, there is another alien race threatening Earth, so War is looking more imminent; especially with Saven relations not going so well, also Sadie's sister is in trouble, so she needs to figure out a way to help her, also there's the issue of trying to figure out more about the Eterno bond, and to top it all off, there are too many "secrets" between her and Logan. I just want to say that you can't expect other people to be truthful, when you can't be truthful yourself, and all the "secrets"; a.k.a lies, just cause more problems! If you truly love and trust someone then you should trust in them to understand where you are coming from! Plans would go a lot smoother if there was honesty. Okay sorry for the rant, it was just bothering me.

I love Sadie's sass and her humor! And I think she handled a lot of tough situations really well, and showed maturity and intelligence and grace. I almost found her to be too understanding at times; I kind of wanted her to be a bit more selfish sometimes, and I felt she was a bit dense about a couple things, but I still think she is an incredibly strong character. Her and Logan's relationship is adorable, and I love them together; they are just so sweet and cute! And they compliment each other really well, and have wonderful chemistry. I wasn't completely happy with how far Logan takes a certain thing; that goes with the whole keeping "secrets" thing causing problems.

I loved all the action! And the camaraderie between the whole group was terrific! I especially love the friendship between Sadie and Jarod. It's great that all the girls get along too! Plus, I love the alien aspect! So much is going on in this book, but I never felt overwhelmed by it all. Siobhan does an amazing job building up the Saven Disclosure world, and as I was reading I could really visualize the scenes.

Siobhan's books are definitely some of my favorites, and I'm really excited to read the next books in the series! I love these characters, and I'm looking forward to reading more as their stories unfold. Saven Disclosure is a must read! All of Siobhan Davis' books are a must read! Plus the books have such beautiful covers!

Saven Denial -

Another amazing addition to the Saven Series! Siobhan Davis is definitely one of my favorite authors! Saven Denial was so good! I don't even know where to begin, I loved it so much! It didn't even feel like a novella because so much happens, and the whole time I was reading it, I felt so anxious to find out what happens, and I am really looking forward to the next book. I hate waiting! The thing I love about Davis' writing is that her world building is so vivid, and I love the unique settings she creates; I can picture them perfectly in my mind as I'm reading. I love that she goes into multiple types of aliens; it is really cool to read about the different species. I love all the action and sci-fi aspects! I've always loved Sadie, but I definitely was loving her more in this book; she was thinking everything I would have been thinking in this type of situation, and she was really strong with how she handled everything. This whole series is just wonderful!

Saven Denial picks up right where the 2nd book ended, and I recommend reading this book before you continue on in the series because there is definitely a lot of crucial information needed, and it's an excellent book anyway! So, Sadie has been kidnapped by the Tor, and they are holding her because she factors into their plans to dominate the universe. Along the way, Sadie finds out some much needed information about herself and the situation, and I was shocked at the horrible things done to Sadie. Griselda, leader of the Tor, is out of her mind! I'm thinking she's so vindictive because there definitely has to be some type of heartbreak that happened to her to make her the way she is now.

So, there is sort of a love triangle started in this book, and although I'm not a big fan of love triangles, Siobhan Davis does them in such a way that I don't mind them so much, and the main reason I don't like them is I feel so bad for the person not chosen. Axton is one of the Tor, and I don't want to give to much away, so I won't say quite what happens with Sadie and Him, but I don't really feel like Axton is an option for Sadie. He felt a bit unstable to me, and I think he has deep mommy issues, and he doesn't quite know himself yet. He needs to get a backbone also! I feel the whole thing between Sadie and him is a Stockholm syndrome type of thing, and I felt like the feelings between the two aren't entirely based in fact. I really feel for him, but I am for Logan the whole way, and I feel like Logan and Sadie have been thorough so much, and they still manage to find each other. So sweet! I need the next book now!!!!! Please!

Saven Defiance -

My mind is blown! Saven Defiance is so damn good! I am just so in love with this series, and once I pick up one of Siobhan Davis' books to read, I can't put it down till I'm finished; sleep be damned! There wasn't anything I disliked about this book, and once I was finished reading, I just felt gobsmacked! There are so many events and revelations in this book! And I am so excited for the next book!

Saven Defiance starts off right where the last book cliff-ended, Sadie has just escaped the Tor with Axton and Izzy, and has been picked up by a surly Haydn and a few other familiar faces, but there is one very important person missing, Logan. Sadie needs to find Logan, and they need to figure out how to stop the war between the different planets, and they need to especially stop Logan's brother Dante, and his desire for universal domination. I love that we get to see multiple planets, and the world building that Siobhan Davis does is really immersive. I love picturing each of the individual planets, and there uniqueness. Sadie is also dealing with the situation with Axton, she's really in a tough spot, but I think she handled herself admirably. I really feel for Axton; despite some of his actions that I don't agree with, I still really feel for him, and understand how devastated he is. I wish there could be 2 Sadies, the current Sadie for Logan, and then Axton's Sadie, so everyone can be happy! You know! Some weird timeline thing! It could happen! I'm still for Logan all the way, and the scenes between Logan and Sadie are just wonderful, and so heartfelt and deep; they make my heart sigh. Their connection is just an amazing thing. Logan is really amazing in this book, and he really shows maturity in a lot of really difficult situations. There are a lot of intense moments in this book, and I was sad that we lose some characters. The deaths make the story seem more real, and the characters are going through some really tough situations, so it's only natural that everyone wouldn't make it, so I understand the need for them, but definitely heart-wrenching! There's tons of action in this book, as the gang tries to gain allies and survive, and I loved it all. I love suspense, and I could feel the anxiousness in my heart as I read.

I love the way this series is unfolding, and I am so excited to read the next book. The writing is amazing, and I love the way Siobhan Davis' tells a story. Saven Defiance has soul deep romance, heart pounding action, amazing characters, gut wrenchingly intense moments, and once you start it, you will be drawn into the story so completely. Okay, sorry if this review was overly gushy, but I just loved it! Definitely read it!

Saven Deliverance -

I love this series so much! The story line is so involved, and the characters have depths to their personalities that really add to the heart of the story. I love the world building that Siobhan Davis creates, and all of the unique alien races that she has developed in this series are totally awesome! It has been an epic journey for Sadie and company, and I was both excited and saddened to see the end of their intense journey. I have grown to love these characters, and I was very eager to see how Siobhan Davis would finish their story. If you haven't read the previous books in the series, you definitely should because this is a continuation and finale for the Saven series. Sadie and company have multiple enemies they need to fight against in order to bring peace, and Sadie was very strong in this book, and showed how mature and intelligent she is. I love that the romance has plenty of time where Sadie is with the guy she chooses, I hate in books when the couple doesn't get together until the very end, and you don't have time to enjoy them in a happy relationship and to see how well they work together, and how deep and heartfelt their relationship is. I wasn't totally happy with how the story went for the guy she didn't choose, but that's just me wanting everything. There's a lot of action, tons of relationships that are tested and strengthened, and an emotional build up to the end that made this story absolutely riveting and wonderful. I have really enjoyed seeing these characters grow through difficult times, and am really looking forward to reading the novellas set in this world with some of the side characters! I'm really looking forward to reading Dali and Win's story! Definitely give this series a read because it is wonderfully written, and absolutely amazing! Looking forward to Siobhan Davis' next series!!

Saven Deception (Saven #1)

For the record, I love Siobhan Davis and I was eagerly awaiting the first book of her brand new Saven series.

The first book is Saven: Deception and it certainly doesn't disappoint! The story is written from Sadie's POV and she is a 17 year old girl from the lowest class in the society referred to as the Stars. She applied to take part in "The Experimento" and was overjoyed when she was picked to participate.

Participants in The Experimento are to spend 6 months in an underwater city called Thalassic City. Sadie met Logan who is the hottest guy she's ever laid her eyes on and he seems to be infatuated with her too.

Soon she found out he's not all he seems to be, in fact he's an alien! He told Sadie as much as he could about his race and the concept of soul mates. They realised they are indeed soul mates with the Eterno connection and they can communicate telepathically.

The government has allowed aliens go live among humans because they have struck a deadly deal with them. Sadie has discovered what's on the government's agenda and happens to befriend Jarod who is a member of a rebellious movement against the government.

Sadie is torn between sticking with Logan and helping Jarod with the underground movement.

As the story comes to an end we are left with more questions than answers and that made me look forward to the next installment even more!

++++++++++

Saven Disclosure (Saven #2)

** spoiler alert **

Wow what an ending! There is a cliffhanger ending and even though it's frustrating when that happens, it really does leave you wanting more!

Saven Disclosure is the 2nd book in the Saven series and we find that the Saven is exposed and humans are now aware that aliens have been living among them. At the same time, Thalassic City was destroyed by another alien race called Tor and there are alien crafts (belonging to the Amaretti) hovering in the skies of New York.

Logan's away on long periods of time while trying to negotiate a peace deal with the Amaretti to remove their alien crafts. Sadie was left with Haydn who saw to her every needs. Sadie's daily schedule was a routine of going to work at the VP's office and spending time at home with Haydn. After all this time, it wasn't unforeseeable that Haydn has fallen for Sadie.

While Logan was away, Sadie and Jarod were taken to meet with the G who's the leader of the rebels. G tasked Sadie with an impossible mission that she had no way of turning down.

Sadie and Jarod sneaked into Sector Twenty to rescue Sadie's sister Ella and was discovered by the VP. The VP found out she was working with the rebels and demanded Sadie work with him to his agenda. How frustrating it must have been for Sadie to have to please both the rebels and the VP and as well as try to be loyal to Logan.

Logan's father King Adjani had demanded for Sadie to be killed, and at around the time the assassins were after her, she was "rescued" by the Amaretti and effectively kipnapped to their planet Amara.

While at Amara, Sadie found out that Logan was to marry Princess Dalitza as part of the peace negotiations between the Saven and the Amaretti. Miraculously, it was actually Dalitza who freed Sadie from her prison but Sadie mistakenly knocked Dalitza out. Sadie managed to find her way to a waiting craft where Logan was and together they left Amara.

Back on earth, things were getting nastier as Ella was kidnapped by the VP and in order to get her back, Sadie and Jarod would have to heed to his demands. Then came a shocking news that Dante, Logan's brother, has taken over as King of the Saven and together with the Amaretti they intend to invade Earth.

Logan plans to find Dante and resolve the issue. Logan was on a craft heading for Saven alongside Sadie and a few others when something unthinkable happened to Sadie. Sadie was on the verge of finding out her heritage and she was forcefully taken away from Logan to somewhere far away......

I won't say I didn't expect to find Sadie was special, as we've already had mentions of how different she looks from her family but I cannot wait for the full mystery to be revealed! I know the love between Logan and Sadie is very strong indeed and no matter what happens they will always find their way back to each other. Looking forward to the May when the next book Saven Denial is released!

++++++++++

Saven Denial (Saven #3)

Saven Denial starts right where Saven Disclosure ended. I kind of had a feeling what might have happened to Sadie but it turns out the plot was much more complex than anyone could've ever imagined.

Sadie's been kidnapped by the Tor and we find out more about them and Griselda in particular in this novella.
I really feel for Sadie because if I were in her shoes I would be torn by choices too. But I trust Sadie to follow her heart and to do what's right.

The ending is another mind blown moment with more questions than answers... once again this means I eagerly await Saven Defiance and hopefully we will get some answers!!

++++++++++

Saven Defiance (Saven #4)

Wow the last chapter or so revealed so much it left me completely mind blown!
I wouldn't expect any less from Siobhan Davis though, as this is completely and utterly her style :)

Sadie, Logan, and Axton are constantly in close proximity of one another so the tension in the air is always high. Add to it Haydn and his over-protectiveness of Logan (and his hostility towards Sadie) and you get plenty of drama in this instalment.

Sadie's character really grows as time goes on as she learns more about herself and she becomes more comfortable in her own skin. There's plenty of love and romance in this instalment and I cannot get enough of them!

There is also more violence and death in Saven Defiance compared to the other Saven books, so some parts were quite dark... This instalment is also full of action and is very fast-paced, with plenty of twists and turns that you simply cannot put this book down.

So much happened in the end with a lot of mind-blowing big reveals I fear there's plenty more to come! There's so much potential in the Saven series, I look forward to reading the rest!

Saven Deliverance (Saven #5)

Saven Deliverance is the final book in the Saven series and it's not easy saying goodbye to Sadie and Logan.

There has been loads of ups and downs, highs and lows throughout the series and Saven Deliverance is certainly a roller coaster ride. It's so nice to see Sadie and Logan so deeply in love with each other, sometimes my heart aches for Ax. Sadie is very brave and always prioritises the others above herself, she really has the traits to be Saven Queen.

Loads of asses were kicked and lots of loose ends tied up in this book. There were a lot of destruction, death, sadness, but there were also plenty of joy and happiness. Most of the book was told from Sadie's perspective but Logan's perspective were added where needed too. Overall a very fast paced and action packed novel. I'm very pleased with the way this series ends and happy to read that all the characters have their own little happy endings :)

Even though this is the last book of the Saven series, I'm aware of a few more novellas coming up and I very much look forward to reading them.

Saven Deception:

The plot was handled really well. The book is entirely told in Sadie’s POV, i.e. the main protagonist. She wanted an out from her everyday life and when she gets the chance she is ecstatic. The project that Sadie participated in consisted that they live in Thalassic City, an underwater world build due to overpopulation to see how everybody could adapt to the changes before people actually came to live here. The world building was superb, we are slowly introduced to the new world and every single thing was explained in great details which I absolutely loved.

Sadie was a great character, I liked her from the very first. She didn’t receive any love at her home and that’s why she desperately wanted to get out. When she arrives in Thalassic City she makes quite a few good friends but Logan is the one whom she can’t stay away from. The chemistry between them is crackling and the romance between them is just perfect. I felt entirely satisfied with it. Logan was a swoony character. Though he had a hot and a cold attitude but I could totally understand where that was coming from. Apart from that, he was really sweet and caring and a great Will Smith fan! The connection between Logan and Sadie was instant but their relationship evolved slowly and steady and I totally enjoyed the banters and the angst between them. Yayiee for no love triangle! The plot twist was really great. The writing style was smooth and beautiful and it was fast paced which I really enjoyed.

Saven Disclosure:

This book started with a bit of a slow pace but it didn’t waste it’s time to pick up its speed. The plot was constructed so well and the writing hooked me from the very first page. There was not a dull moment in this book as one thing or the other kept happening. So many new information and twists kept me interested throughout the book. The threat of another invasion from another alien species was pretty intriguing and I loved how it was handled. The relationship between Sadie and Logan was stressed as both of them are keeping secrets order to protect each other. Although there was a lot of tension and heartbreak, but I simply loved the chemistry between them. And the romance topped off a notch, it was pretty amazing!

As usual, I loved Sadie, she was caring yet strong, ready to do anything to protect her loved ones. Though some of her decisions were questionable but it was justifiable as well. I was a bit angry with Logan at first, though I guessed there must be some pretty big reason behind it and I was right. Nonetheless, I just love these two together! The other characters were pretty interesting as well. I loved Sadie’s sister, she was so warm and caring and I’m dying to know what happened to her! But Dante is simply horrific, I don’t think that guy’s redeemable, especially after what he did. I also enjoyed the action, it was swift and engaging and the humour was an additional bonus!

Saven Denial:

This book was a whirlwind. We learned a lot of truth about Sadie and her past and her essential role in all this alien matter. Griselda, the head of the Tor was a freaking nutcase, I must say, because she was hell bent on revenge when everybody else wanted peace. And the one thing that kind of freaked me was Axton. And I really, really wish what he said about Sadie and him was false because eeeh.. I don’t know what else to think but I definitely don’t want him anywhere near Sadie though how much he claims he loves her. Nonetheless, I’m interested to find out more about that guy.

Nonetheless, I absolutely loved how everything was executed. Twists after twists kept on coming and some pretty big secrets were revealed which totally caught me off guard. Though I liked how Sadie handled things though she didn’t think much before doing anything. But it was still justifiable because she was in a totally confused mess and I could totally feel for her, especially after she discovered the truth about herself. And that ending!! My God! I mean, how? Why? I am dying to know what happens next but I’m definitely still team Logan!

Saven Defiance:

The plot was just awesome! I don’t have a single complaint about this book because I was hooked from the very first page. And the massive revelations and revelations that happened took my breath away, literally! This book was filled with action, adventure and romance and I loved all of it. Sadie has returned from Tor but her friends doesn’t trust her anymore but her main focus is to rescue Logan and then deal with everything. I liked how Sadie handled things in this book, albeit sometimes it was a bit reckless but I liked it nonetheless. Something or the other kept happening throughout the book which kept me thoroughly engaged. I want to say much more but I don’t want to spoil it for you guys!

I loved Sadie as always, she is such a strong character and she cares so deeply about the people she loves. But so many things went down in this book, I almost cried and when the freaking truth about Ax was revealed I literally shouted! But I didn’t like that guy, at all. I chemistry between Logan and Sadie was undeniable and I absolutely loved the romance. I couldn’t believe when they decided to act upon King Coryn’s words but I loved it! All the other characters played significant roles as well and what happened to some of them was heartbreaking!

Saven Deliverance:

*Slight spoilers*

Saven Deliverance picks up from right where it left off. The plot kept me engaged throughout the book, my attention never wavered for even a second. In all of the books in this series, so much keeps happening and this book was no different but I loved how all the loose ties were connected and executed so perfectly. I enjoyed the action so much and I loved how Sadie could stand on equal footing as the others, especially with her incendio gift.

The characters felt more layered and matured. I loved Sadie and Logan so much. The chemistry and the romance between them are solid as ever and their love grew as each day passed. Although I know Sadie would never let Logan do such a thing because she knew so many people were depending on him but he just melted my heart and he’s such a swoon-worthy guy! The other characters were pretty amazing as well and for the first time in my life, I’m actually looking forward to reading those additional optional novellas about them. I was so relieved to see Haydn and Sadie’s relationship turn back to how it used to have. But I definitely missed a few characters, especially Neve. Ax, on the other hand, I don’t know what to feel about this guy!!! I don’t think I could ever forgive what he tried to do with Sadie even if she could, I am on the same footing as Logan in this matter.

I enjoyed the action sequences so much and I definitely loved the plot twist! The nail-biting suspense kept me on my toes, I couldn’t stop reading this book and I spend my whole day today glued to my e-reader. The ending really melted my heart and I couldn’t have wanted more! The writing was beautiful and even and it was fast paced throughout the book. I can’t wait to read more by Siobhan!

I absolutely loved this series! I was on the edge of my seat through every book of this series. The first book was so captivating, I expected this series to head downhill fast...oh, how wrong I was! This book series is ideal for fans of YA/NA and sci-fi combined with full on fantasy reads...and would probably even appeal to individuals that feel that the sci-fi genre just isn't for them. I rank this entire series so close to five stars all around, you might as well round the full count up (note...I did give one book just under the complete 5 star ratings due to the lack of outright pizzazz when compared to the others...see below). I'm enclosing my individual reviews of each book below, just to give you a peek into each book in the series.

Book #1: Saven Deception

This is the second series I've started by Siobhan Davis (The Kennedy Boys was my first). I'm totally hooked! A great cast of characters have been developed and there is a slight hint of mystery to this story, as you're not sure who's the 'good', 'bad' or neither until it's near the book's end.

This series is ideal for readers that love sci-fi, or even for those that aren't huge sci-fi/space opera fans. It's a YA friendly novel that will grab onto you and leave you wanting to continue the series! I received a copy of this book for free but wanted to share my honest opinion about it here.

Book #2: Saven Disclosure

After reading the first book, I was so excited to get started on book 2. There is so much that happens in this book, and if you started with Saven Deception, then your appetite has most likely been set in place to read more about Sadie & Logan and their adventure that could lead to either discovering universal unity or enduring grand destruction. I am totally hooked, and can't wait to read book 3...I definitely need more...NOW!

I would recommend this book (and series) to fans of sci-fi and/or those that enjoy coming of age type stories. I promise, this whole series is like an improved take on the concept presented in 'The Host' by Stephenie Meyer...sci-fi writing style that should appeal to those that aren't already fans of the genre. I am currently reading the boxset of the Saven series as an advanced readers ecopy that I received on my kindle fire, but I wanted to voluntarily share my honest opinion about this book here.

Book #3: Saven Denial

OMG! This was only a novella stuck in the middle of this series? There is seriously so much going on in this book...I didn't even realize it was intended to be a short inclusion in this set until it was over and I saw 'novella' written on the title page.

Sadie endures being kidnapped (again), finding out she's fallen in love (again), discovers she has previously hidden powers (not 'again'...but how cool is that? And didn't part of her realize this last one all along?). My mind is still reeling from the excitement of reading this little novella...and it's been an absolutely mind blowing experience. This book includes time-travel on several accounts...but the ways in which it was used will seriously blow your mind.

I would recommend this book (and series) to fans of sci-fi and/or those that enjoy coming of age type stories. I promise, this whole series is like an improved take on the concept presented in 'The Host' by Stephenie Meyer...sci-fi writing style that should appeal to those that aren't already fans of the genre. I am currently reading the boxset of the Saven series as an advanced readers ecopy that I received on my kindle fire, but I wanted to voluntarily share my honest opinion about this book here. To be honest...I've been so glued to this series...I ran my battery in my kindle fire out completely...time to recharge so I can find out what happens next *bites nails*

Book #4: Saven Defiance

I give this book a ranking of about 4.75 stars

I'll admit there were a few moments that didn't grip me like the previous novels in this series (thus the partial star rating). That being said...this book contained many thrilling experiences, some fast paced and some outright frightening. Sadie loses a friend...gets mixed up in a slightly messed up love triangle...discovers an unrealized family bond...and on and on and on.

This book delivered all the twists and turns I've come to expect from books in the Saven series by Siobhan Davis, and I've been reading and even re-reading some of the more exciting moments, just to make sure I don't miss a thing! I would highly recommend this series to any reader that is a fan of fantasy tales and sci-fi stories...and even to those that aren't sure if they like sci-fi writing in general. It is a coming of age style tale set in the far future that will totally blow your mind.

I received a copy of the Saven boxed set and fell in love with it from the start...I felt I had to share my honest opinion about this amazing story here. I highly recommend you check it out.

Book #5: Saven Deliverance

I agree with a few of the other reviewers here...because this story might have felt just a little rushed, and didn't contain the same huge epiphanies that I fell in love with from all of the previous books...I decided to rank this book 4.5 stars. I received a free ecopy of the boxed set this book is included in, but I wanted to share my honest opinion of this book here.

That being said, out of all the books, despite the aliens on every page, space travel, futuristic elements, etc etc...I felt Saven Deliverance felt like it contained many more sci-fi specific elements than any of the other books in this set. It was an enjoyable read, and I really enjoyed the ride as I breezed through the whole series (with the exception of a few novellas I haven't gotten around to just yet) in a matter of days...it's truly addictive. I don't really consider myself to be a huge fan of the space opera/sci-fi styles of books, but this one just reached out and grabbed me from the first chapter on!

I would recommend this book to fans of sci-fi and fantasy novels or coming of age style books that have already read the main novels in this series beforehand. It contains a few swerves here and there (not quite the twists and turns thrown at you from previous novels), and the story is able to wind down with all around happy endings.

This series is my favorite by Siobhan Davis! The characters are well developed and so easy to fall in love with. I definitely recommend reading The Heir and the Human novella if you can before Saven Deliverance, it adds so much to it. I’ve copied my reviews for each book below form my previous reading. I hope you enjoy the series as much as I have!

Saven Deception #1 – 5 stars

This book was very reminiscent of Siobhan Davis's previous series in style, intrigue, and character development. The plot is interesting and I truly cared about the characters (which is a huge part of my enjoyment). It's always refreshing to see a well written strong female role like Sadie. The prologue left me confused until about the middle of the book. A small indication of how much time has passed would have helped immensely. Overall I can't wait to see how the story unfolds between Sadie and Logan, the humans and aliens, and the governments and the rebels!

Saven Disclosure #2 – 5 stars

Once I started reading this book I couldn't put it down! The book delves further into the relationships that Sadie has with Logan, Jarod, and many other new and old characters. I love how Siobhan keeps you guessing and drops hints along the way. Her descriptions of the characters and their environment keep my imagination going full force. I definitely enjoy reading Siobhan's works and would recommend her books to anyone who likes Sci-Fi, fantasy, and futuristic novels.

Saven Denial #3 – 5 stars

This novella helps us delve into Sadie's past. Siobhan has created such a wonderful world full of amazing characters and an intricate plot. Her novels make me laugh, cry, feel indignant, and truly care about the characters. Such a wonderful series! I can't wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds.

Saven Defiance #4 – 5 stars

The instant I started reading Saven Defiance I was sucked into the story where the novella left off. Such a spectacular story that kept me glued to my Kindle. I did not want to put it down and only did so to sleep when my eyes were too tired to focus. The story brings to light how strong Sadie can be and reveals the duplicity of human/alien nature. Absolutely cannot wait to see what happens in the next book!

Saven Deliverance #5 – 5 stars

Saven Deliverance was a wonderful conclusion to this series. I have always loved how Siobhan dives right into the story bringing the reader headlong into the story. This story was intriguing, answered questions and just when you think you have it all figured out, there is another twist. I'm delighted every time that the trust and love of Sadie and Logan prevails, throughout not only this story, but the entire series. Absolutely loved the complexity of the story-line!

I've read & reviewed each of the books in this series separately - every one 5 stars! I loved them all so much I bought the box set! I thoroughly enjoyed the characters as well as the plot. I find Ms Davis's writing style incredibly easy to read, her stories are exciting, emotional and engrossing. I always love reading her work and appreciate her ability to weave complex storylines while following up on each detail. Sadie's story is a prime example of this; I was frequently amazed at how things that had been foreshadowed, even in earlier books, would manifest & remind me of bits I'd previously read & I'd think, "oh yeah! I almost forgot about that!" I definitely think the Saven series and Ms Davis's work, in general, are really great reads!

I preordered this boxset back in 2017, and I finally read it!
Not gonna lie, I wasn't a big fan off the first book. But I'm glad I decided to continue, because this series just got better and better with every book. I wasn't planning on bingeing this one, but after a while I got too addicted and couldn't stop.
This boxset doesn’t have all the stories though, which was a little annoying (it does say that on the Amazon description, but I ordered this sooo long ago). The novellas are not included, but luckily Axton was in kindle unlimited and the author has the Logan stories as a freebie for joining her mailing list, so they're not exactly hard to track down. And yes, I had to read these as well. It is a seriously addictive series.

This is one of my favorite series. Once I started reading the first book, I could not stop until the entire series had been read. Sadie is amazing, and I loved reading about her adventures. There were some heartbreaking moments and twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I loved how Sadie transformed over the course of the series and how badass she was by the end. I definitely recommend this series to any fans of Sci-Fi or YA.

Although I'm not particularly drawn to sci-fi/paranormal romance novels, I loved the True Calling series by Siobhan Davis and was not disappointed with Saven. The complicated plot combined with multiple and sordid antagonists sent each book into a new curve inside a web of divergent agendas and interconnected plans for revenge. Sadie and Logan's love, the one constant from beginning to end, seems destined to be tried by the universe. As in all trials by fire, it will either whither or withstand to grow stronger. Actually, this could apply to the characters as well! I enjoyed binging over each book and was so happy to have access to the next book so quickly: the box set means no waiting for the next release! If you're looking for an unpredictable, complicated, yet heartwarming love story, this is it!
I received this series for free as part of an ARC team in exchange for an honest review.

Needs to be a movie series

This is one ahhhhmazing story. It grips you from the moment you start reading and it doesn't want to let it go!!! Alien 👽 races, an epic love 💘 story, and enough friendship and receipt to keep you guessing.

Aliens have integrated with humans. Unfortunately, it's not common knowledge. Sadie meets Logan and there is an undeniable string that pulls them together. The entire character cast is relatable and enjoyable. The story is easy to follow along with and the world building is awesome.

The Saven series is a truly awesome YA dystopian love story! Right from the start of book one, I fell in love with Logan and Sadie's relationship. As secrets are revealed and new alien races are introduced throughout the series, tensions and suspicions increase within all the races. Logan and Sadie's relationship is continually put to the test from all sides until the final chapters when we find out if their love is strong enough to overcome. The writing draws you in and keeps you right there until the very end. This is my all-time favorite series from Siobhan Davis. (I received a free advance copies of the books from the author in exchange for an honest review.)
