Rite World: Rite of the Warlock #3
The Crystal Rose
A she-wolf destined to become a shifter queen. A warlock who's done playing fair. And a magical, dark path that unites their fates as one ...
Luana
Keeran and I have decided to be together, but the world is intent on ripping us apart. His magic is driving him mad, and I'm left alone to decide how to take down Isalia. But I've made too many promises, and I've sworn to protect too many people. To win this war, I'll have to accept a destiny I've never faced-- and a crown I didn't even know was my birthright.
Keeran
I'm hiding secrets from Luana-- secrets that are killing me. I love her, but I'm losing my mind, and I don't know how to regain my sanity. War isn't coming, it's already here, and I'm the only one who can stop it. To protect my love, I'll have to do the unthinkable... and make an irreversible sacrifice.
Hearts race and alliances are forged in The Crystal Rose, the final book in Luana and Keeran's romance. This exciting paranormal love story of wolves, warlocks, witches and war will leave readers howling in delight at its magical ending.

Juliana Haygert’s The Crystal Rose (Rite World: Rite of the Warlock Book 3) is the perfect conclusion to this high-octane adventure romance. I’ve loved Luana and Keeran’s take and am totally satisfied with the sendoff it was given. Fans of this series prepare to rejoice (and rush to download) this ebook. You will indeed be “howling in delight at its magical ending” as promised by its publisher. Newcomers, while you can pretty much read this standalone it really works best if you start this trilogy with its fantastic book 1, The Warlock Lord. Trust me, this series, with its wolves, warlocks, witches - and war, is just the perfect and exciting paranormal story you need. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. The book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend.

The Crystal Rose Juliana Haygert
I received an advanced Copy to Read and Give an Honest Review:
This is a magnificent finish to this series, but also a very difficult one to review without giving too much away. Picking up at the point Luana, Keeran, Wyatt, and Farrah enter Unity, "the enclave of peace and safety founded by Keeran's Mother Almae," Keeran finally sees his mother for the first time since she left him with the Witches to grow up." He has the Magic and his Father trapped in his Crystal on his neck, but still very much alive within. The Trap, however, is full of Dark Magic that changes Keeran in both attitude, and his interaction with his Mother and Friends.
His Mother works with him to train for control in spite of his insults, and behavior while Luana finds she has a New Pack of Magic Wolves that were loyal to her Father and is her legacy if she can find three Treasures of Power to bring back her lost Magic and make her Alpha of the new pack.
It's a fascinating Story Script in this last? (maybe not) book of the series, that is a must read for your own peace of mind. I say (hopefully maybe not the last book) because of the way it finishes, leaves questions that almost have to be answered, or left to or own imaginations. In that case, I would much rather read Juliana's. [This is a must-read book even if you haven't read all of the prior series because even freestanding, it's a perfect Novella that is going in my Library!]

I voluntarily review an ARC.
This is the third part of the Warlock Rite series, the books should be read in order.
Wow, what a magical journey. This is one of these books you won't be able to put down until you reach the end. I loved the different supernaturals trying to find there place and uniting against dark magic and evil enemies.
I loved the search for magical artefacts and the struggle to stay true to oneself and not give in to the dark side.
This book ends with some kind of cliffhanger and I'm curious if there will be a fourth books or if the remaining secrets will be lifted within a new series.
Absolutely recommended series.

Oh my goodness what a great story! I loved every moment of reading this. Such a good story of Luana And Keeran. I enjoyed the “quest” Luana had to do as well as the surprises along the way... she’s even cooler now!!! I won’t say how so, you’ll have to read this for yourself. It’s AWESOME! Also Keeran overcomes his “problem” and I was so glad for that! Happy endings are the best! I’m so happy the way it ended. Even though it seems there may be more trouble coming soon. which means there will be more to read yay! I look forward to whatever comes next!

Absolutely Amazing!
Intense, emotional, thrilling and sexy, I could not put this book down! This epic conclusion to Luana and Keeran's story was tantalizing to the senses and leaves a cliffhanger, which I'm so thankful for because I'm so not ready to let these fantastic characters go.
Juliana definitely knows what she's doing bringing all these amazing characters together with this incredible series!

Fabulous conclusion to this part of the story. Luana and Keeran are a wonderful couple with enough issues to keep the story interesting and their relationship in question. Well written and enjoyable. I hope that you enjoy it too.

Wow. This was a story and a half. The tumultuous magical journey of Luana and Keeran is not to be missed. I was glued to each page , impatient to get to the next. Events certainly happen in this book and it actually has the type of cliffhanger I like. The story is complete but a definite link to the next adventure.
Outstanding read.

4 - 4.5 Stars
The Crystal Rose is the sixth book in the Rite World Universe by Juliana Haygert - which is a captivating, interconnected tapestry of paranormal romance and fantasy adventure. And rather than being a single series, it’s a shared world where multiple storylines - each with its own MCs, conflicts, and romances – all woven together amongst plenty of supernatural intrigue.
What makes this universe stand out is the huge variety of supernatural beings -vampires, witches, shifters, angels, and more – who are all coexisting in a world that feels both magical and dangerous. Ms. Haygert has a knack for blending fast-paced action with plenty of emotional depth, ensuring that battles and betrayals are balanced by heartfelt relationships and the character’s personal growth.
While each series within the universe can be enjoyed on its own, reading them all offers a rewarding sense of continuity and layered worldbuilding.
So, if you enjoy supernatural worlds with high stakes, sizzling romance, and characters you’ll want to follow on any adventure, then this universe is a binge-worthy contender.
Happy Reading…

I wasn't into the rite of the wolf series. To make a long story short, the hero and heroine were weak! They kept running away from fights and failed miserably in making smart decisions. They would jump into action without thinking about it first. It was frustrating seeing them going through the motions and making the dumb mistakes they made. This is a fantasy and fiction! We know the characters aren't real so why not make them as close to perfect as possible? They are supposed to be awesome and powerful but instead they were weak and dumb. By the stroke of luck, she was an alpha from a wolf god pack. That's the only reason she won! She kept losing her fights before she got her magical powers. And keegan follows her around like she is some sort of deserving leader? Come on! Overall, the rite of the wolf mini series was a little disappointing

Nice Ending
I was disappointed in the previous book but this one made up for it and our main characters were back to how they orginally were in the first books I read in this 6 part series. The ending was good but left you wondering if there will be more and with questions about some of the other main characters. Good characters, action scenes, mystery, romance, supernaturals and magic.

Brilliant
After reading the first 3 I didn’t think the last 3 would be as good, I was pleased they were brilliant and I couldn’t put them down, would recommend to anyone a truly brilliant storey from start( book 1 ) to finish (book 6 )

Fast and adventurous read, with hints of treasure hunting, and versatile view of what can be perceived as the difference between good and evil - especially all the shades in between.
Luana and Keeran both fight their own fights, but only united they can defeat their archenemies. Keeran has the option to defeat his father without killing him, but the challenge is enormous, and so is it for Luana against Isalia... only she can gain much more. Her lost legacy.
Intruguing story with fast development, great for fans of pnr that are searching for easy entertainment and switching off brain with a good book.

Great story line! I love the rite world series and this is the second series of three within the world. This series follows Luana and Keeran on their quests to find her lost pack and take back her current pack from the evil Isala and for Keeran to find his father. This is the conclusion to the three about Keeran and Luana and is a wild ride from start to finish.
