Love this story!
Oh Daria's demons how I love thee, let me count the ways...
1. Their entire world revolves around Daria, the lucky wench, and it becomes even more glaringly obvious in this book.
2. The steam and just hotness level in this book skyrocketed by about 100%
3. The hot demons, even the sweet ones, become vicious and will kill for Daria just to keep her safe (once again lucky duck!)
This can go and on of course but I have to keep it PG so we'll just leave it there...
Obviously this was another great installment and several pieces of the overall story are now in place and resolved which I like since it means the ending won't be rushed for a resolution. As I read this book I forgot how much I hated Pandora so two thumbs up on the hateful villain. The ending to the book is sweet and cute and then...then the epilogue happens. That last piece that ties up the story and I can't wait to see how this is going to end.

I absolutely love getting to see more of Daria's men individually. They all have such different and unique personalities, but one thing is the same for each of them. Their love for Daria and their willingness to do anything to protect her. After Sofia and Wrath are kidnapped in the previous book it all seems to be going downhill for Daria and her men and their fight against Pandora, you could say that all hope is lost. But Daria's determination shines through as she does what she must to protect her family.
This book is fast-paced from start to finish and you get to see some sides to the characters that you haven't seen before. All the pieces are starting to slot into place and the ending definitely sets up for the next book in the series which I am so excited to read! These books have been a total "can't put it down" series and I've loved every story.

Bye Pandora
I am so relieved that Pandora is finally taken care of and that plot arc is concluded. I was getting tired of reading about Pandora always coming out ahead of Daria and her demons. Now we have another plot line that started to develop during the previous book.
Daria is completely ignorant of the upcoming turmoil for her but at least she gets a few moments of calm before the next storm. Chaos is starting to become one of my favorite characters in this series even though his page time is pretty limited. Hopefully the final book won’t leave me heartbroken.
I just want to mention that the scene with Hope, Betrayal, Daria, and voyeuristic Death was HAWT!! 🤤 I was ready for more scenes like that so I’m hoping there will be more.

We finally get a taste of the mysterious Hope! The book is fast paced and lives up to the action and 🔥🔥 we’ve come to expect of this series.
I’ve said it before, but Of all the RH books I’ve read I connect with Daria the most. Her reactions and responses and how she deals with her harem of demons seem very relatable to me.
The author should consider a spin off RH series featuring other demons because the world she created can really go in so many directions.

I was so excited to get back to Daria and her men. This book was full of surprises and showdowns. Daria had her hands full trying to save her sister, save her men and take Pandora down for good! I love the interactions between Daria and Hope and Death. There was also that HAWT scene with some particular people that had me fanning myself, you will know it when you read it 😉 Can't wait to read the next book, looks like we have more drama to come!!

Another fantastic read! This was a really entertaining read, the characters are so well developed and Daria is just a really relatable FMC that is easy to connect with. This is a smooth, well paced book that keeps you engrossed with adventure, steam and mystery. There never seems to be a dull moment in Daria’s life, she has a full plate and it was great to be able join er on this journey! A creative and unique series , this is a must read!

D’awwww.... Family... 🥰 Daria got her family! It’s fantastic! This beautiful book wrapped up most of our loose threads and would have been a perfect little HEA.... if not for that tricksy little epilogue. Booooo! I knew I didn’t trust that guy. More danger, such intrigue. Bring on the grand finale!!! 💜

Love this series so much. I couldn't put this book down once i started it i loved every second. I would definitely recommend this book and series. I can't wait to see what happens in the final book but it's bitter sweet because i love these characters and i don't want this series to end. Amazing five star read.

They are all my favorites ❤️
Another great installment in this series. The demons in this series...they're my favorite. They each have such distinct voices and the banter between them in daria is great.
In this book the look to take on Pandora but with the curse they have to work with unlikely allies even though they don't fully trust them. Definitely a series you should read.

This book was fast and action packed in more ways than one of you know what I mean! Even though we are in book five the story has not dragged and every one has been excellent! I am still waiting for my Death and Betrayal sandwich Lana! But there is still hope!

Ooh what's next!?
Spoiler.

There's always a new evil, maniacal villain waiting in the shadows after one is killed off. Why does this both excite me and annoy me 😂.
Anyway. Daria is a force that will fight for her family and won't give up.

Fantastic
I can’t say enough good things about this series or this book. I love the progress of the relationships, mixed in perfectly with the action and angst. Kole has such a way with flowing descriptions that always land on the right side of just enough. I highly recommend this book and the series as a whole and can not wait to get my hands on the final installment.

This book was sexy, funny, and kept me on the edge of my seat right from the start! I didn't want to put it down and when it was done I kept wishing it would go on. Lana Kole does a great job making it easy to care about the characters, and they're relateable even though most of them are demons. I eagerly await the next and final chapter in the series.

Demons, Demons and more Demons... Yes please!
The 5th installment of the Unlocked series brings an emotional punch. Daria has her work cut out for her. It seems like her and her demons will never catch a break but we all know she's a complete kick a-- that pushes through and gets the job done.
This series is a must read! The creativity that has gone into creating this world is top notch. Make sure you start at the beginning so you don't miss out on any of the hotness!

My heart nearly didn't survive this book! Full of everything you love from the series Hope Lost is a fantastic continuation in the unlocked series.
I'm dying ( pun intended 😏) to get my hands on Death Defied. Lana is one of my one click authors and never disappoints me with her books!
