Cruel Selection Vampire #5
Chosen by the Vampire: Book Collection 13-15
The past came for me with fangs and claws and hate…
My Vampires raced the darkness to save me from the light.
I fought Corvina’s sire. Fought the Wolves, and the cold...but there’s one thing I can’t fight any longer.
The truth of who I am.
With teeth and savagery I face down death itself.
Nothing can take me from them...not now.
As I take the final stance, can I save my Sinful?
Or will I succumb to darkness after all?

What a fantastic tale told over 5 books. Everything came together in this book, everything made sense. I loved it so much I brought the series, so I can read again in the future

December 11, 2019Loved it and not so much !!!
The story was basically well thought out and the characters were great. BUT I was left with so many questions that were never answered . Like why when they knew it was her would they make her seduce another man? Why would he tweek another womans tits in front of her? And also Charaska said they had sex with her um ???? Really ? And why keep all those girls there when they knew she was there and had sex with one of them ? Makes no sense if it was real love.

Ok, I had a little bit more fun this time around.
It was more action-packed, and I enjoyed the twists and turns even when they made no sense (which happened… a lot. A lot of them made no fucking sense, but I got used to it by now), and most of all: I got my answers, fucking finally. A lot of loose ends were tied up and a lot of explanations were given (as thoroughly as I feel we all deserved? No. But beggars can’t be choosers, so I’ll take what I can get). So yeah, I guess I’m content.
This whole series explored themes that I completely adore. Classic tropes of gothic horror and vampirism that I just love with all my heart and if the execution were better, this would definitely be one of my favorite series ever. Sadly, it did not meet my expectations, it fell short most of the time, so overall it was just a miss for me.
Either way, I still enjoyed the way things ended.
Do I still wanna read Chosen by the Dragon? Yes. Yes, I do. Maybe I’m an idiot, I don’t know, but Polaris was just so cool. I don’t know if I want to get into her story to enjoy her character a little more because it might as well mean that her character gets assassinated, much like Asena’s character did as the story moved on here (Book Collection #3, 7-9, I’m looking at you right now), but *deep sigh* I don’t know, we’ll see. I’m definitely tempted.

This was a wonderful conclusion to a truly exciting and engaging series. The way that Atlas Rose constructs a story is so well written. Her characters breathe life, I care about them, or I hate them, depending on who they are in the story. But see, this is a sign of good writing. I care one way or the other. That says a lot given how many books I read.
When I think of this series, I can see the story in my imagination. I see quite vividly the forests, mountains, castles, dungeons and caves. I see the characters, the vampires, witches, humans, werewolves and dragons. So well described that they are easily imagined. Add to this a really good story, one that draws you in, demanding you see it through to the end, and you have a highly recommended series of books.
Atlas Rose now sits firmly on my list of favorite authors. I will be sure to look for her books as they are published.

Wait a minute I want more of them!
I read the Vampire kiss series so this series linked them together. This book at the end was a complete surprise! When the whole fight happens (and some girls are still there) never ever guessed that chain of events and it made my head spin! It's a beautiful ending. It's romantic, sex scene is so hot watch out your panties don't catch on fire!😈💥💥💥😈😍😍😍lol ! It's amazing how this writer never has a boring or over detailed part to any of these books! I'm going to read the others in this linked series. Chosen by the dragon, Fae's contol, and Wolves Mafia... linked to the Vampire kiss series... The ending wasn't rushed and had me fooled to the end but as always HEA guaranteed!

An amazing ending to this series!! I'm so sad to see it finish as I ended up loving these characters. They turned out to be more relatable than I originally thought. This book was also full of action, love, betrayal, and steam just like the others. It never tapered down like some other book finales that I've read. The author had her storyline clearly thought out and knew exactly how to end Asena's story. I was constantly on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened next. We finally get some real answers about Asena's past, and it clears up so many questions you might have had while reading the previous books. I really enjoyed this series!!

Escaped from the most vicious of the vampires, Asena fell into the claws of the bloody Wolves... the one person who she believed with all her heart betrayed her in the most horrible way... Her childhood friend Jacob murdered her parents and now kidnapped/abducted her to make her his’, by whatever means... The war is narrated as if brutal act is happening before the eyes... Asena’s past is magically unveiled... The vivacity is well maintained by Atlas Rose with the construction of story in scintillating dramatic phases...

What a beautiful conclusion to an awesome series. Vampires have forever been changed for me due to Atlas. Her writing has such a perfect way of describing the scene and creating so much emotional feelings to the reader. I'm sad it's over but what a wonderful journey I was on through these books. Loved this book, and it was probably my favourite of the series. Perfect in so many ways 😊

What a great series
This is the final book in this series with Asena and her sinful. All the questions are answered and wow, what a rollercoaster of a read. I'm excited to have some closure, however I'm sad to see this story end right now. This is a must read for any vampire lover, mystery lover or action lover. Holy cow you won't be disappointed.

This is a great ending, i loved all of these books and I'm looking forward to the Dragon series. The only thing i would even venture to say I would've liked to develop more is information on her father. Domina talked about power Asena has and her dad can do some cool stuff with lightning. However, it's not necessary information for the story. The whole Chaska thing was a killer twist for me

We finally have answers and they come at a cost. The cost of friendships the cost of lives. There has been so many twists and turns and emotional upheaval that you wonder if it’s ever going to win but in the end the Sinful and Asena finally get their HEA it hasn’t been an easy road and it certainly wasn’t a short road.

Book5
Well book5 and I finally get my HEA ending!
It took lots of twists n turns and raging wars but Asena/Aelin finally found and put together the jigsaw pieces to uncover the true story behind their past, present & futures.
It just goes to show love conquers all
Glad I stuck with all the cliffhangers glad I read them on Kindle Unlimited

This ended up being a fantastic series. When I first started with the very first book, I was intrigued but unsure. As I continued with the series it got better and better and just continued to pull me in further. I thought that this was a great conclusion to the series. I loved getting to see all the puzzle pieces come together and figuring out what was going on. I really enjoyed all of these.
December 16, 2019
What a way to end this amazing series 🙌🏼 I’m going to miss these characters! I got so attached to everyone like I knew them🖤 I had serious anxiety at the beginning of this one! So much was happening to poor Asena! But have no doubt that this ends on a good note🖤

Loved it.
Read all 15 books. Loved it, the twists that it took I did not see coming. Absolutely loved them. if the rest of her books are anything like these I can't wait to read them.

Disappointing
This final installment was really disappointing. Asana was a wimp. Not once did she save herself. She was constantly scared and needing to be rescued. And the ending was really anticlimactic. Why didn't they just turn her years ago?

So worthy of a binge reading session
I read books 1-15 in days. I couldn’t get through them fast enough. They were full of excitement, adventure, intrigue, sex... I certainly enjoyed the books! Definitely worthy of a binge read.

Wholly cheezeballs, this was an epic book for the conclusion of this series. Okay so we dive right in the book and immediately my heart starts pounding!! Why is that? Asena is running to The Sinful to get to safety. Remember in the previous what she did to Jacob, Yeah, well he is not happy. LOL!! So what happens? Does she make it to safety? Well so many things happen it is crazy and it happens fast so you have to keep up. Oh we find out what Domina is up to as well!! Yeah so remember she found a letter to The Sinful about her from Domina. Yeah all is revealed and oh my goodness I was floored. I was shocked, cried and my heart broke into a million pieces with what was happening. This book had me on edge all the way to the end. Be prepared when you read this final book. It will literally knock the breathe out of you.
This series was amazing and the journey that you go on with Asena is eventful to say the least. The emotions poured out in the book you will feel. Atlas Rose knows how to capture your heart with her writing.
***This is an advanced readers copy and also purchased as well.***
