170 chapters is still not enough!
I read... A LOT! And for me read every word without needing to skim over pages just to know the ending only happens when an author is capable of entrancing me into their world. L.M. Adams has a talent that leaves me in awe. I have laughed, cried, cussed all to hell, but most of all fell in love with the love these three share. Nothing worth having is easy and this journey is all about learning, adapting, forgiving, loving, hating, fighting, hoping, longing and tons of kinky sex! Jae, Luey, and Jacks` story is far from over but no worries L.M. Adams never leaves me wanting to jump off a cliff with some dramatic cliffhanger!

So many feels!!
Usually by book 9 a series gets old, for me anyway. This is not the case! This series seems to only get better with every book! L.M. Adams is simply amazing.
I cried, I laughed, I wished, and I got mad. I don’t know how she is going to top this one but I’m sure she will.
It was so hard trying to write this review without giving anything away.
Start with book one and just keep going!

Y'all I don't know where to even start... the first act was like the quiet before the storm. There were still delicious moments of reckless abandonment, as I like to call it, but the slow burn was just the right thing before the shenanigans of act 2. Ms. Adams knows how to spin a story like none I've seen before. She makes us love dark, broken things. In fact, we crave them. I've been following this journey since Snow Covered Moon and I don't know how she makes me question my sanity every single book. I couldn't put it down and it's def one of the books I will reread every now and again to go back to the sweet torture that each word promises. Even with many of my questions answered, so many new ones arose in this latest installment of the Twisted Eventide series. I'm both eager and apprehensive for the series to end. I want to know how it pans out for everyone but once they are gone I don't know what I would do with my time. This is def a series that will stay with me for all of time. Bravo on another job well done.

I absolutely loved this book! L.M. Adams is a genius! She has created this epic world, a very very dark and complex world. The lines are blurred between love and pain and yet make perfect sense. It has all the feels and the lols. If you love the "broken things" the dark things (which we do) read this series!!!

Long live the queen of darkness
Oh. My. Dark goddess.. What did I just read? A masterpiece, that’s what. Seriously.. I didn’t think it could get any better and then Ms. Adams just took my heart and broke it to pieces and put it back together then only to completely crush it and grind the pieces in the dirt. And I loved EVERY SINGLE MINUTE of her sweet, sweet torture. I mean these three.. they build each other up just to have the rug pulled out from under them. Then, they get up, and piece themselves back together even stronger than before, just to get kicked back down again, and maybe I’m a bit of a sadist, because I LOVE IT.
That bachelor party.. I’ve never laughed so hard. I’m cracking up again now just thinking about it. Jaevia never fails to disappoint in the snark department, but her fire was missing in this one; She’s going through the heartache of losing her queendom, even though she never really wanted it. The middle meat of the book is filled with More Lucian than we’ve ever seen to date, and while I didn’t think I’d enjoy him as much as Jae and Jack, my god do I love that beast. Oh how I still want to just take a baseball bat to his head though and shout “just tell them EVERYTHING! Don’t water down your feelings and needs just because you think they can’t handle them”. And Jack. Jack, Jack, Jack... I have tears in my eyes now just thinking about everything he has gone through. I hope with all my heart that Ms. Adams will allow these three to one day find some peace in their lives, but I respect the hell out of her for putting them through the wringer as she does. Never have I seen a set of main characters get the beat downs that she bestows upon the Eventide.
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN OF DARKNESS.

This book had all the things I had been missing from our favorite triad. It has the sweet moments where you feel warm and tingly...and then the WHAT DID I JUST READ moments like I have come to expect from L.M. Adams.
I think this is now my favorite of the series. It really has everything. Love, adventure, angst, heartbreak....lots of steam! And I just really enjoyed getting to see Jae, Jack and Luey learn how to actually be married...and what that means. And to see them struggle with their love and what it truly requires. I have been in love with Jack since Snow Covered Moon...but this one made me fall even harder for Luey. It was awesome to see him in his element. And to get a better understanding of just who he is. Luey is so sweet with Jae and Jack...even though they are both huge pains in the butt! Great book! Enjoyed it from start to finish! And now I'm waiting for the next book. :)

Amazing read
Just finished this last book in series (to date). Wow, this author is so talented. Just like each of the characters, I've had my heart broken an repaired so many times during the course of each installment. Unlike many other books, I never reached a point where I became bored, questioned the relevance of any of the content or had to skipp sections. Each book was an incredible read (I read all includingthe echoesoftime series), all the characters were unique and interesting in their own rights. I'm not sure whether there will be other books as it's been a while since the last was written (I'm desperately hoping there will be), but if not, I thank the author for these incredible reads ❤️

A beautifully crafted piece of dark literature! I'm in awe of the greatest triad EVER written!
Continue the twisted journey of Jaevia, Lucien and Jack, as they have their biggest battle yet!
Perfectly imperfect characters, that weave and claw into your heart, mind, body and soul!
Thrilling storyline, that slithers into your psyche and refuses to let you go!
And world building that is made of the Gods and for the Gods, completely mind blowing and completely satisfying after it tears you apart and rebuilds you anew!!!

BEST SERIES EVER!!!!
This series is amazing and has so much story not just fillers or your boring same old reverse harem love story. L.M. Adams is an amazing author and these books are the best I have ever read. I can’t wait to read the next! She gives such detail and back story with so much to keep you ready to keep reading and never want to stop. Warning you may forget how to live your life while engrossed in these books.

This book has it all.. the much needed blissful time...to ahhh there's Jae ...to omg WHAT THE .... But I wouldn't expect any less from L.M. Adams. We all knew their love would be a challenge, just not that time would come into play. Now they'll really know if love is enough and if acceptance is just a word.

Amazing
Can I give this book more then give stars? I love this whole series but this is my favorite. The book has everything you cry at the heartbreak, you scream at the stupid things they do to each other, you smile at the love they feel, and you enjoy their passion and humour. I can't wait for the next book.

Good gravy
This book.....hauntingly beautiful and achingly painful. This trio just does it for me and just like every book in this series, it can't be all dark or all light. There is balance though. This is so far my favorite. These characters have changed so much in the right ways. Can't wait for the next one.

Breathtaking!
I wish I could tell u this book is an easy read.
But it’s not.
I wish I could tell u this will not make u cry
But it will.
Just like all the other journeys of Jaevia, Lucien, and Jack this leaves u with more questions than answers.
The more pressing one I have now:
WHEN IS #10 COMING OUT!!?!

Is this the end?
If so, I don’t think I like the way it ends. Nevertheless I have enjoyed the series immensely. While the mythology got a little muddy, I was able to (mostly) track the storyline(s) through the twists and turns. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Adams. (Even if it isn’t in this series.)

So Dark, So Painful!!
I need all of this pain to bring them closer. I need their love to win, no matter the battles. They shall win the FREAKiNG WAR. All of this should make them stronger, not weaker.

November 18, 2019This story just gets better and better!
This series is darker/heavier than I usually go for but has kept intrigued me from the beginning! I really loved that the author added multiple POV because it really gives an opportunity to explore Jack and Lucien and get to know them better. This story was interesting because it provided a deeper insight into the history of Vampires, Vayra, and Lucien's curse. I also like that while there was plenty action/adventure to keep them busy I feel like there was a lot of growth in their triad relationship. I cried, I laughed, and I cried some more. I can't wait to find out what happens next!
