Strategy

Lughnasadh Elite Academy #8

by Layla Heart, Skylar Heart

One king threatening war, six prophesied lovers scrambling to come up with a plan to defeat him.

Bane’s parents’ house isn’t the idyllic retreat it looks from the outside, inside its walls it hides many secrets and even more dangerous knowledge for anyone willing to dive into the hundreds of books collected in its living room library, as Litha, Phoenix and the four princes have found out.

The plan was to hide here for a couple of weeks, recover from their injuries and maybe gain some knowledge which would help them survive the coming months and years. Instead, they realised that things are, once again, not as simple as that and it appears that history is about to repeat itself.

When they find out that their ancestors unsuccessfully tried to prevent the last war, they know that they need to do something to tip the scales in their favour this time around. The only problem? They have two weeks to pull it off, and they have no idea where to start.

This is the eighth novella in the Lughnasadh Elite Academy serial, a reverse harem #WhyChoose story. This novella may include any of these elements: steamy scenes, ‘I need tissues NOW’ moments, cries of ‘why, oh, why’ and cliffhangers that make you bite your nails (and curse the author).
This story includes MF, MM and also FF scenes, but everyone is primarily focused on Litha and there are no sexy scenes between the guys and the other girl.

About the author

Layla Heart loves sexy romances and has a particular soft spot for broken boys and their damaged girls. When she’s not reading or writing steamy stories, she loves to nap with her two cats, preferably under a fluffy blanket, and play videogames. She has studied literature and creative writing but often finds that the couple of classes she took on coding are much more of a help in this new adventure as an author.

This series about Litha, Phoenix and the four princes is one that is very intriguing. They are trying to find a way to stop the fae King from inacting his plans and the bonds forming between them are immense. Its a good series. I highly recommend it. Can't wait to see how it ends. I volunteered to read this book via Booksprout.

Litha, Phoenix and the guys are at the cottage trying to find ways to stop the Fae King from his plans. They are working day and night to reading the journals, working on fix for the venom and much more. They decide to try to see if Phoenix can see the future but they get a bigger surprise than that. This leads them to see what Litha's blood will do to Rune and the others. What happens blows them away and might just be the key that will help them
They have a surprise visitor that will help add in getting them to their goal. They also supply them testing material. It looks like it will work. Some of them decide to go with what they to see other. What they didn't know is danger is lurking close and they are almost out of time

This was a fast paced book. You see the characters growing into the roles they are supposed to. There is more to the story than what I gave. I recommend reading this book/ series.

So my mistake in thinking that this book is a standalone in a series. I picked it up because I love fantasy, especially with paranormals with shifters and fae. Even though I got lost in the plot, I thought the book had good world building. I don't know if I like it was in the first person narrative with all 6 main characters though. It had my head spinning.I thought it might have worked better as third person narrative with so many main characters. Since I'm intrigued and become invested in this world and the impending war, I'll just have to start with the first book to read the how this series got started.

Litha, her men and Phoenix have retreated to one of Bane’s family homes following another fae attack. The house has old, rare books about history and offensive magics that teach them a lot of things they never expected to find. Being alone helps to make their bonds even stronger and both Litha and the others grow stronger in their magic. A large part of the story was about Litha, Phoenix, Bane, Kit, Rune and Finn growing into their powers. I received an advance copy of this book and voluntarily left a review.

Loving this series. Things are moving forward for Litha, her guys and Phoenix. Still at the cottage working through journals....etc. War is on the horizon & getting nearer with each book. More steamy scenarios in this book keep it hot to read. Book 8 is still keeping up the tension throughout and i cant wait to see what happens next?? Great series

Good addition to the series. This "chapter" has the suspense building as they get closer to war. The relationships between the characters also continue to grow and develop as the series goes on.

Strategy is Book 8 in the Lughnasadh Elite Academy Series. The drama and suspense are building and the story keeps getting better. The tension is palpable in each character as the threat of war increases. Litha is embracing her powers and her role, and that is a good thing. Bane, Finn, Kit, and Rune are also facing theirs, as Phoenix finds her place. The characters are developing into a unit of trust and love, which should get them through. We won't find out for sure until Book 9. Even though these books can be read as a standalone, they should be read as part of the series in order. You miss some of the nuances of the relationships and suspense when reading as an independent. I reread the book to review it as I read it back in December.

Absolutely loved this edition. The way that everyone worked together to try and solve the problems that they’ve countered. The chemistry between Litha, Phoenix and her four princes is unstoppable. As they try to solve the issues with the dragons races with their shifting problems and taking down the fae King they all stand together even with everything coming apart around them. The cliffhanger at the end once again is a killer!!! Can’t wait for the next book!!!

[Patricia Nelson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely this marvelous, fantastic, grab-you-by-the-feels, fascinating, gripping, fast paced, emotionally charged, intense, smoking hot, amazing, and totally awesome tale. The obstacles and problems just kept piling up, but, no matter what, the group kept working together. The sexual chemistry between them was explosive, and five alarm flaming hot. I would hooked from beginning to end, and can't wait to see what happens next.

This book was exactly it's title: strategy. I really enjoyed seeing all of the strategy and plans come together. I'm dying to know how they'll defeat the Fae army and I'm holding my breath to find out if Rune and Finn are safe!!! NEXT BOOK PLEASE!!!

Loved it!

The princes and the witches are getting ready to take their rightful place in the fight. No longer spectators but fully participating. Discoveries were made and a clearer picture is forming... Can’t wait for the next one to come out
