About the author
C.C. Masters
13 books398 followersEveryone has dark moments in their life that we sometimes wish we could erase or forget. But sometimes it's the pain and struggle that we have gone through that gave us our inner strength.
For me, writing started as a way to confront some of the demons of my past so that I could put them behind me forever. Most of my characters have a dark or troubled past and my books follow their progress as they emerge from the darkness that has held them down for so long.
As the darkness fades, hope for a better future starts to emerge (like the sun after a storm). A piece of my soul goes into each one of my books, and my hope and faith in a brighter tomorrow is reflected in each one of my characters.
Books have always been a source of escape and enjoyment for me, so I hope that my work can help others in the same way:-)

*warning: very honest opinion... constructive but harsh*
Like Trevor so eloquently puts it "this a whole new level of magical bullshit". Literally the best and most clear foreshadowing of this book.
This series in general put particularly this book has a fast and furious theme going on and not because of the cars, but because with each sequel the nonsense just grows and that's saying a lot considering the genre is a RH fantasy... what else haven't we thrown into this story?
The series start was really promising, because despite the lack of action and world building, the personality of the MC and the way she makes friends first with all her potential mates is just incredibly sweet and really just great.
In the second book we are introduced to multiple POVs - which I normally hate because it tends to confuse the already built up feelings in a story for me- did not disappoint me, they made me love the characters more.
However, everything starts to go down hill from the third book. The plot of the story keeps taking radical twists, the essence of the MC gets somewhat lost, scenes that should have been included were not like how Anna bonded with her pack mates for example or how and when she finally put up her clinic or the conversations had every time she reunited with her mates after been kidnapped (which is so often it becomes predictably annoying). Many events, conversations, situations or confrontations are frequently being summarized by the narrator (usually Anna) and therefore effectively taking out the magic and those "fuzzy" feelings that as an RH or any romance reader you tend to crave.
Speaking of the "bond" and being constantly kidnapped you would think that once they are bonded and can telepathically communicate, Anna could have been able to at least warn her mates, but not even that angle is explored.
I feel that the story in general keeps being redundant even after so many random twists and far from making the story more interesting bringing more problems that have little to do with each other can make the reader lose focus and get confused with the story. Characters that are set to be one thing end up being something else very forcefully and with ridiculous justifications. Kelsey, a character that I had thought lost all relevance since book 1 suddenly appears (with her own POV on top of all) in the start of the last one to provoke an entirely new conflict in the story and goes back to not being relevant to even mention ever again. Not to mention that there are many holes left unattended in the story that are simply dismissed or summarized in such a rapid and disregarded way that really make you lose interest. Moments that should be prolongated and special are given so little attention is absurd and heartbreaking. Also, the moments keep getting interrupted by even more unnecessary BS. The scene where they were all wolves again (almost forgot they were actually werewolves in this book) and howled to the moon lasted but a second when all of a sudden is interrupted by drake to announce something stupid and unnecessary (why is this character even relevant at all??) and then cut scene and let's have Anna summarize 6 months in 2 paragraphs (an exaggeration but well founded).
Anna's transformation throughout the series is beyond ridiculous even for a fantasy series! It is exactly like watching the movie Lucy. She starts as a wolf, then she is half wolf and half fae, then she is even a more powerful fae and then she is a goddess? the lack of commitment to the story line is probably what breaks the make-believe of this world. To explain my point, Anna had to sacrifice her humanity, right? right... but then she gets it back? just like that? why did she have to become a goddess? why was there even a need to fight another goddess? where is the motivation of the villains? the built up of that motivation ? what happened with everything else? to the council? to the pack? to irrelevant kelsey?
The last 4 books had me all with thoughts of impatience and confusion but this book really takes the crown. There is no logic, no order, no more of the warmth of family that we get on the first book. We had literally ONE scene (the one of the mud) that even made me remember that scene of the first book and made wonder if I'd somehow moved on to read other series without my noticing. Really, really bad thread.
In addition to that, the series somehow morph into being narrated in such a way that make the reader feel that they accidently skipped certain scenes and that are late to catch up on what is going on.
The pace set in the first book to get to know the characters and feel the true friendship and trust between them turns out less and less ideal in the upcoming conflicts. It slows the story down and it seems as if it slows in details, characters or conversations that don't add to the story but hinder it, and it becomes fast paced when it should be slowed down.
Even though I like how strong and independent Anna becomes, it frustrates me that her mates have no capability to keep her safe because they don't have the magic to fight the new and bigger "problems" the story has and she keeps being left alone to solve everything on her own, so where's the point of having 6 mates?
Another frustrating fact in this series is that even though they are magical werewolves practically descendants of fae, they rely mostly on weapons to defend themselves against their enemies independently of them being incredibly weak like a human or a powerful being as a fae or god (yeah out of nowhere now there is a goddess in the list of enemies as well).
I truly loved the MC and her mates (especially the twins because how could anyone not) but the story is beyond disappointing. I wish the author had simply stuck with certain magical beings and work the story like that. instead it feels like the author did not plan the series ahead and changed her mind again and again in such a sloppy way that rather than blending well all the magical creatures in a make-believe world it ended up mixing as well as water and oil.

Cliffhanger(?): none

HEA: Yes
World Building: 5/5

Triggers: FMC was abused and other characters have similar backgrounds
I really enjoyed this series. I loved all her men but especially loved Mason & Jason. I do wish James & Caleb got a little more story time through the series as Mason & Jason were the main two and then Austin & Cody.
I think the epilogue could have been better and longer but it was still pretty good. I always love when the RH epilogues end with babies!

The first books were so promising. There's so many plot holes and changes that it gave me a headache. I loved the characters but the plots are ever changing, she will bring something up and we wait for answers that never come. Blah

*I have received and ARC of this book for an honest review*
I can't believe this was the final book. There are so much more things I want to know.
And I can't reveal them because I don't want to spoil anything for you guys. But I will say this, the thing with Drake intrigues me, I am worried that Kelsey wasn't mentioned again, and Froston has a lot to work for. That being said, I hope we have more spin-offs or at least a novella to clear things up.
I loved the epilogue so much.
Anna has grown so much into her character and her guys as well. This reading made me so happy.
This was a truly awesome series from start to end.

Please refer to my review of this series in the completed series book. I figured that would be the best way to do this.

I love this series, but I was very disappointed with this one.
December 6, 2022
I quite enjoyed this series for the first few books - really liked Anna and her guys, their interactions and all of their personal growth (really love it when the main character/s but especially the FMC comes from adversity and rises against all odds, etc), however somewhere around the 4th book it felt like the character interactions and mate bond building really started to take a backseat to just getting the (increasingly random and fantastical) story told, some of which seemed completely unnecessary to the overall story arc anyway. It actually got to the point I wasn’t sure whether to bother wading through the last book, however my curiosity as to how all the twists and turns could possibly be resolved got the better of me. But alas, I was let down by the ending, since there wasn’t a clear resolution to, well, ANYTHING except having defeated The Morrigan and keeping the fae away, at least temporarily. I know not every book can tie off all the loose ends in neat, shiny bows but it would have been nice to have an idea what was going to happen/had happened with Drake, Froston, the human/paranormal relations, whether the pack as a whole had healed after Blaze drove that wedge between them, whether Kelsey got what she deserved, how Anna went setting her clinic up, etc, instead of just a snapshot of Anna being pregnant and a vague reassurance that Drake hadn’t caused any obvious trouble. I really would have rathered some insight as to how everything else had gone than her being pregnant, which didn’t even feel relevant to the actual story.

Final book. I really enjoyed reading this series, but I'm sad, that it's over, too. There are a lot of things, I wanted to know more about. The epilogue was too short for me. I'm happy for Anna and her guys. But I want to see the children. I want to know how the family life would be.
I want to know what happened with Kelsey after what she has done? And what is with Drake? I liked Drake (I kind of always liked the arrogant assholes). I think he really cares about Anna, even if he never admits to it directly. And I wanted to know the fate of Froston too. The world they now live in, and what about the council? There were so much more to write about. So, I hope, I can get the information somewhere. I don't know if there is or will be a novella or something. I wish for it, but mostly the author moves on to the next story. So, I can't be sure about it.
But it was a fantastic journey throughout the books. Anna grows so much during all the events and hard times. As well as her guys. I never knew what's happened next, because of so much twists and turns. It was like a roller coaster of emotions. I have cried, laughed and root for Anna and her happy ending.
Well done!

I’m kind of bummed that this series is over now! I love how everything got wrapped up nicely. I hope we get to see more from the other characters, like anna’s and Jessica’s babies. I’m going to miss Mason and Jason...and James... well really I’m going to miss all of Anna’s men. Hopefully this one will come out on audible like the others in this series.i was so surprised that I couldn’t predict what was going to happen. I can’t say much to explain that with out giving spoilers, but I DID NOT see how they solved the Morrigan problem coming AT ALL. I loved every second.

September 8, 2020I have been following Anna and her guys throught this journey and fell in love this world. The author finds a way to draw you in with her words. This last book is book awesome because it concludes the story that I have followed but also bittersweet because there seem like there is more. Anna and her guys get the ending they deserve. It was truly an amazing read even it it seemed a little rushed at the end.

Masters doesn’t disappoint in the last installment of Anna’s story. There was adventure, love, and magic. I loved the twists and turns that lead Anna to her final chance of saving the world from the Morrigan. This book will definitely keep you on your toes. A great ending to a fun series.
**I would love to read more about Drake and the mark on Anna. Maybe a novella **

Why did this series have to end? I feel like there were a couple of things that were left in the air. Like what happened to her friend? I know she sent her buddies in there, but nothing really happened to her. Also, I find it strange that the other court just let her come and take her without any back lash or anything. I just feel like there were a few things left out in the open. Maybe it is that way because the author is planning a spin off? I can hope at least!

This was a fun read. It takes a lot for me to like a slow burn but this series really blew it out of the park! I loved the interactions with the characters and how they all grow to love each other. The last book I feel was either too slow or too fast. It's been several days since I finished reading and am still debating on which I am leaning more towards.
December 14, 2022
glad it’s over
Literally don’t have anything to say about the book but happy the series is over. So many things unanswered. Just seemed like a rushed ending to be continued in her spin-off which this series started veering towards in like book 3 or 4. Like literally nothing happened but an epic battle and a possession of power.

The end of this book before they went into battle really had me in tears. The whole series was pretty good. The only thing that I didn’t like is the huge skips of time at the beginning of some chapters and books. I felt like there was zero transition sometimes and I struggled to keep up. And I wish we had more POV from the guys. Otherwise it was good

I loved this book. I'm sad to see the series end but it was wrapped up really well and everything turned out good. There were some surprises and near misses but all in all this was a great book.

What an ending! I have loved this series from the very beginning. The characters are so well written that you feel like you are a part of the story. Anna is a kicka$$ FMC, and her men are all delicious. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves paranormal reverse harem!

Amazing
I definitely don’t want to say goodbye and want a post baby update please....... the writing is awesome and so well throughout. The journey with the 2 stories has been amazing and I’d like more from Lori and Sam as well. Thank you for the incredible books.

Great ending to a great series!
Really enjoyed this story. All of the characters were unique a well written. The only thing I wished that happened that didn't was to have that crappy "friend" get what she deserved. Other than that, a real happily ever after.

Sad to say goodbye.
This book hurt on the best way. Anna and her mates face the big battle and I loved the ending and I’m sooo sad it’s over. I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to Anna and her mates. This was such an awesome series and an amazing wrap up.

The ending of a great series
I still have some questions. I won't lie. But I am happy to see Anna and her guys stories come to an ending worthy of them. I will miss these characters and hope we will get peeks of them later.

This book is the best one out of the whole series. It has been an amazing! It has all the action and emotions in it. It keeps you hanging on to every word right till the very end. Sad to see the series end but happy with the outcome!
June 29, 2021
So I was pleasantly surprised by how nice & neat the series was wrapped up. I had my doubts, but I’m not afraid to admit I was wrong. It did feel a tad bit anti-climactic as a series ending, but I still enjoyed it.

Epic
Perfect ending to an amazing series. Im sad to see Anna and the guys go but love how wrapped up the series is. Plus you never know... they could come back one day. She is a goddess after all
