Gah, I thought this would be the final book, but it appears that we now have one more yet to go. Lots of epic revelations and looks like Mika might have yet another addition to her harem after the hellhound!!!

Thank god there’s another book

4.3 for me

There were…. I don’t know. I’m reading these back to back enjoying myself, and I can’t help but notice that a lot of things that bother me at the time suddenly don’t matter when I finish. So I know the books always end on an epic note.

I liked the twist. I think it’s interesting the way time has slowed. We’re all deep in Mika’s thoughts now and it’s all she does before getting Audrey back. I did blank out at times when she did a lot of thinking without thinking. She notices things but doesn’t say it out right for the reader to be clued in, which I like. Some things seemed obvious and at times I got confused wondering why it was being reiterated before I realized she didn’t know. Stuff like that.

Otherwise the lack of commas still kill me but damn do I love the epic ness of this.

Wow

If you have not yet started this series,you are in the envious position of being able to read straight through eight, (8!), complex, well written books with humor and romance. Well edited, this book has a fast plot that moves along the overall storyline and sets up the last in the series, without leaving you dangling off any cliffs. Without giving away any spoilers, I'll only say there were some twists I never saw coming, even after having read all the other books. I eagerly await the next, and last book, and would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys excellent writing.

💗Oh... the power of an angry woman is MIGHTY 😉

I loved every single moment of this brilliant read!!!! I still can't believe just how far Mika has come in such a short time. Massive twists, turns and reveals happen in these pages. An intricate web has been spun from the opening pages of book one until now. All leading to what's to come in the final book!!! Mika has come into how power as a fair, but MIGHTY ruler.... the enemy had best watch out!! I can't wait for the finale!! My bet is squarely on Mika, her men, and allies.

The eighth book in the series and I will say that you really must start from the beginning and read in order. Mika is the star but there are so many amazing characters. Each are written if such detail that you feel like you really know them. So many answers are found within this book. But the danger of the world being destroyed seems so impossible to stop. But for Mika she won’t stop trying. She has so many on her side but lies and deceit will pull things apart. An epic story that still has more to tell.

Death is Here

War is on Mika’s doorstep, it is everything she expected and nothing what she expected. The further in we get the deeper the web is of twists that lay ahead. Many answers lay ahead as the story winds up to the final book and the final battle. A hint of intrigue here and there was sprinkled throughout with Jess and Lucifer for adding some mystery for her upcoming series. The puppet master is revealed brilliantly and in a way that had pieces of the past books flipping through my mind as it all fell into place. The relationships progressed through the book while still fitting into the fast-paced plot heavy storyline.

The Wicked Will Rise, book eight of the University of Morgana: Academy of Enchantments and Witchcraft series, is an ebook I borrowed through Kindle Unlimited (KU). All hail Emma Dean, the new queen of the red herrings. The writer has done such a great job of mixing up the pantheons I didn't even guess the now-obvious villain in this layered, complex plot. Truly a match for Mika's power, and the suspense is killing me.

Mika has came such a long way in such a short amount of time. In this book she’s even more of a b.a but it wasn’t instant she trains so hard to be where she is today.
I love the loyalty she has to her chosen family and the same goes for them.
The twist was crazy and i can’t wait until the next book

Yess, get it !

I love, love, love Mika and all her friends, family and lovers.

I will read the next one with a bittersweet feeling since it's the end of this particular series, although I have hope that, just like kenzie, she and her lovely mates will appear in other books in this awsome universe.

At this point in this series, you are either invested or you’re not! I am, and I am so in love with these characters. As for the spice, I thought it would increase but it’s probably at like a level two to the normal Rh books but the story is amazing. I can’t believe each book has held on till book nine for us to get all our questions answered I can’t wait.

I know that this is was suppose to be the last book and the series got expended to add another book but it's such an amazing story that I don't think just one more book will be enough. I need a 100 more.

As good as always

The next to last book in this series by a continuation in this universe. You get glimpses into stories yet to come and a better understanding of the players in this series. Who will come out on top? Can't wait and dredging the end of this series

It's coming to a close!

Things WEREN'T as they appeared, and the enemy they thought they were fighting, wasn't the enemy at all.

With everyone together and ready to work on the same side, this battle is going to be massive, but Mika is just glad she isn't doing it alone.

I've been loving this series all along.

So many different kinds of supernaturals and norm challenging relationships amongst the possible apocalypse make these a wicked read!
