It is law: every good thing in my life must be paid for with at least one bad thing…and I’m long overdue.

Four years and I’m finally starting to feel like I’ve earned my place in the Forest Grove pack. Business is booming at the quarry. Our new pub is thriving. We are thriving.

So, when a witch breezes into town asking questions and a ghost from my past returns, I know somewhere out there fate is laughing in my face. And that this is only the beginning.

But I’m not the same Allie Grace of four years ago. I have a pack now—a family. I will not go quietly, and I will not back down when it comes to keeping them safe…no matter how many old scars I’ll need to re-open or how many new ones I’ll need to make.

Fate is about to find out just how feral this wolf can be.

Fans of books by Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, Jaymin Eve, and Kelly St. Clare will love this paranormal romance!

*This is a full-length shifter menage novel intended for readers 17+. It can be read as a standalone or as part of the original Wolves of Forest Grove series.

Just couldn’t get into it. Too much had changed and I did feel like it was the same characters. Eh.

Before Allie can have her happy ever after she still has someone from her past she has to deal with. When pack members get kidnapped and the rest of the pack is threatened, Allie needs to make a decision: whether is more important saving her pack, including her mates, or her happiness.

It was a great story conclusion for Allie, Clay and Jared. However, the final chapter ended really abruptly and I would have liked to know more about what was going to happen.

The series

I liked the first book, likable characters interesting enough story ( I’m a sucker for the hero to save the girl from a stalker ex story line) but also the initial story of her starting out homeless and working to take care of her self was very interesting and her character was more relatable. The second book was ok it was slower to build the continued story as I would have liked. I wasn’t impressed with the last too books her personality was less relatable to me than in the first book ( maybe cause it’s been awhile since I read the first two books) but she would blame herself for everything even when it doesn’t make sense and constantly make mistakes by not thinking things through or trying too hard to be the tough girl at times especially with the last book it’s been four years and her character has not changed since the third book and I will not even get started on how once she had both guys in the third book she is begging them to sleep with her or in the last book pressuring the idea of being with both of them at the same time just cause she wanted both her mates at once even though they were initially not comfortable with it. The romance wasn’t well paced slow to start in the first two books to all of a sudden they work things out too easily at every issue and the romance esp in the last book felt out of place like “o we have a random free moment let’s just throw in a little something here” anyway I liked the boys and the first book everything else I wasn’t as impressed with.

Umm...

I expected more from this last book. Allie has been mated to both Clay and Jared now for 4 years, and the guys refuse to be with her together sexually. Allie had to beg them to take her virginity and the guys flipped a coin to decide.

The pack has flourished financially and by it's number since she's become Alpha. But when Clay's sister, Sam, returns unexpectedly after all this time, no one will trust her. Sge tried to kill Allie after she took out the old Alpha who was her mate. But Sam couldn't see him for the evil wolf he was.

When their food supply, a local butcher who works only for the pack, has a major fire, things start to look suspicious. Compromising their way to feed the pack, they have to travel hours away for the next largest butcher. Next, members start to disappear. After following Sam one night, Allie and Clay get evidence that she's betrayed them, she's been sharing their secrets with someone.

But when it comes to light who she's working with, Allie and her mates are shocked. It's Allie's ex-boyfriend, Devin, the one who turned her into a wolf in the first place. He has been taking over packs across the country and now he wants her back at his side, forever.

When Allie realizes that it's the only way to save her pack family, she agrees to go with him. But someone in his pack knows the true evil lurking behind his charm and helps her escape. Now with her pack behind her supporting her fight, she intends on killing Devin and cleaning house for good.

They should have stayed teenagers.

I don't know why the author said this is a grown up take on the Threesomes relationship it seems to me that they still have in childish attitude about the mating this is not a reverse harem it's more like Allie is cheating on Jared with Clay, her and Clay sneak around to be intimate Jared is always in her bed and Clay is outside guarding them, The author made it a point to point out how unevolved other Alphas were about same sex relationships saying they were not progressive and yet this alpha can't get her mates on the same page after 4 years doesn't sound progressive to me, (they flipped a coin for dibs on her virginity Ridiculous) I don't think the author thought it out they can barely touch the girl while the other is present and yet she tries to get them to be intimate in the same bed at the same time they should have kept them dumb teenagers so all of this nonsense made more sense, it was better when they kept sex out of it, that being said she sucked at being a Alpha the only thing I liked is that Sam and Devin died I wish I hadn't read this book.

Fantastic ending to a great series!

We wanted more from the Wolves of Forest Grove and Elena gave us Shifted Scars! Shifted Scars picks up four years after Shifted Rule. I missed Forest Grove and have been so excited for this book. Allie, Jared and Clay are all grown up now. They are all doing really well for themselves. Allie is still getting into the swing of being alpha but if she needs help her guys are there for her. This is full of mystery, suspense, action and steam. Things you thought were in the past don't stay hidden for long. The past came back to haunt them in a big way. Everyone in their pack including all of them are in danger. This book brings us full circle and all of the questions we may have had are answered. Overall a fantastic book and series! I wish it didn't have to end but I can't wait to see what Elena brings us next! I very highly recommend this series!

I honestly didn’t like how it jumped to four years ahead I feel as though we missed so much including her first time with them both, there was loads of lead up to them finally sleeping together so I thought we’d read about it. The first 🌶 scene fell flat for me personally was hoping for more! But I’m a sucker for smut 😂

There seemed to be a few blanks as I was reading and the whole situation with the council or W.e stopping after she killed the alchemist was also a miss, I didn’t see the point of them being included if they weren’t going to be in the story line for long, unless there’s more books that focus on them and it all ties in otherwise it’s pretty pointless

The main fight was ok, feel like Devin got off pretty easy considering everything he did.

It gave me twilight fighting scene in my head just not as good😅

But I do adore most of the characters, was a nice series

I am not a fan of wolf shifters, but I will read them especially if an author I likes writes it. That was the case of this one. Also, I readily admit I didn’t realize this was the fourth book in a series. However, I really didn’t miss anything because the author was great at making sure everything was there to enjoy the story. And, boy, did I enjoy the story. Allie, Clay, and Jared were wonderful characters, and this book was filled with romance, suspense, heartache, joy, and triumph all in one book. I am sorry to have missed the previous books; I will have to go back and read them. Great book, and if you have read the previous books, you will love this one! Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

WOW - this book packs in so much emotional, suspense, betrayal, rescue and more. Like the whole other three books forces brutally into one, with a little more heat (only a little though, could have been much more, I adore these characters... need more!).

At points I had to put the kindle down and walk away.

At points I wanted to scream, and strangle someone...

At one point my kids had to bring me tissues.

This is a tough highly strung read, like the others but yet so much more too. Everything is just so much more intense, and it works so well. Would quite happily keep reading on about Allie and her now very extended pack family - just could we try to be a bit nicer to them maybe? Like more a cuddle with chocolate, then a sword of Damocles rollercoaster???

Amazing conclusion to a fantastic series!

The Wolves of Forest Grove is now my favorite series by Elena Lawson, and I've loved everything I have read of hers. The three book series was great, but as a 30-something year old adult reading them, this companion novel was the perfect conclusion, for both the pack and Allie and her guys. It is definitely more sexy than the series, so pay attention to that mature rating if you are young, or looking for books for your teen child. But seriously, it's amazing, if you enjoy reading supernatural & reverse harem books, you will not be disappointed. You should also check out the first 3 books that are the series as well, if you haven't yet!

Holy Shifter Gods

I absolutely loved getting to read more of Allie, Clay, and Jared's story. There is so much going on from heart ache, to mystery, to fighting battles, and even new love and life. This book is a page turner for sure. It starts with telling us about the last 4 years that we've missed. Giving details on the packs growth, how Allie has been handling being alpha and her wolf status and how the trio were managing their mate bonds. Bad guys from the past and new betrayal. She even tied the Arcaine Council in. There is so much to this book and it is definitely a great read.

How I've missed Allie, Clay & Jared!

This was a great continuation of Allie, Clay & Jared's story. We pick up 4 years after the last book and get insight into what life is like for them these days. But as always peace is not meant to last. I like that this finally closes the chapter on certain characters that we were left wondering about after the last book. It also works on truly solidifying the relationship between Allie, Clay & Jared. I also loved Hazel. All in all a great book with wonderful characters I hate saying goodbye to.

Holy cow that wasn't what I was expecting form my favorite resident shifters of Forest Grove!! This was so intense and I didn't know how badly I needed that ending until just now. I'm shook I can't wait to read the guy's POV and if you haven't already you need to read Harper's story Soul Bound at the end. The original was amazing so I'm sure the rewrite will be out this world.
I'm missing Alpha Allie and her guys already here to hoping for cameos in the future.

Excellent series!

This series was awesome, the characters were likable and hatable and the storyline was good too. I had started this series quite a few months ago and realized it wasn’t a finished series at the time making me wait to complete it, it was very well worth that wait. There isn’t a lot of sexy times in these books but what there is is pretty good and doesn’t over power the storyline itself. Leaving you with a well balanced story to appreciate. A defiant recommend

This one's for the fans!!!

It feels so good to pick up with Allie and the Forest Grove Pack! This story is one that embraces growth in all forms. Our characters lives have changed a lot, and while many have found happiness, the ghosts of the past keep finding ways of surfacing. Elena Lawson does a great job of making you FEEL throughout the entire book, from the urgency of the suspenseful plot, to the deep well of past trauma. The entire ride is a roller coaster that you don't want to come to an end.

Better than expected.

I was worried this was going to be less exciting because of the authors note that this one was added by fan request and had sex in it. That was not the case. This may have been the best one of all and tied up a loose end. However, the witches and vampires brought up earlier were never expanded upon. Nor was the magic behind the twin soul situation or their original home. Author could definitely ad a book or two with those thoughts, but what was issues are better resolved.

A great series!

Oh my heart..... this last book crushed me in the end. There was so much going on and I wasn't surprised at some of the characters that returned, but I was not expecting the loss in this book. I absolutely loved the bonus scenes that you can get to by clicking the link at the end of the book. Such a good series. I actually read Soul Bound series first from a Facebook ad and then went on to read this series. Loved them both! Can't wait to read more from this author.

It was great to catch up with Allie and her mates, as well as the pack once again.... a glimpse into the future we dont often get to see.
There is some pretty major drama to come and at times it’s hard to see how it’s all going to work out!
It’s definitely a roller coaster of a ride!
There are some very sweet moments and a little heat to remind us that this connection is still very much there.
Overall a good look into the future and a fitting finale to this series.

The closure I needed!!! 😍

OMG what an intense, full of action, rollercoaster of emotions installment... The suspense was killing me, the angst at its highest point!!! 😩
I really needed this closure for Allie, Clay and Jared's story, it felt like if something was missing and this book delivered 🤗
This is a must read series for fans of wolf shifters, fated mates, RH and, mainly, a bada** woman who overcame a lot of s**t from her past and became the strongest of them all!!! ❤️

Such a great ending for an awesome series!! It was so nice going back into Allie, Clay and Jared’s world. I was not even expecting the plot twist that was put in there! Holy cow! And I’m also super happy for karma, as it definitely came through. I loved that the emotions were so raw and exposed in this book and that we had more insight as to how clay felt. I’m sad to see this series end, but I don’t thing it could have been written any better! 🖤

Wow

This is just what I needed. I loved this series, and when I found out that another book was added, I just had to read it, too. I love how this is about what happens in the pack and in their future. I also loved to see Justice served. Her ex deserved everything he got and then some. I love how her guys finally make themselves a unit. It's very well written and one of my favorite series. 😍

I missed Forest Grove and was beyond excited to jump back into the world. Shifted Scars takes off running with this fast paced, suspenseful story! I loved all the steamy bits, the twists, and seeing these characters interact in such relatable ways. The storyline put my emotions to the test. It was truly the ending to Allie's story I didn't know I needed!

Happy Tears Y'all

I picked up this series not knowing what to expect, and this book comes as a beautiful conclusion to a heart-wrenching series that tells a wonderful story of a girl growing into a woman, and learning to handle life's trials, as well as it's wonderful surprises. I've got them happy tears y'all.

Just awesome! I thought book three was the end but here we are book four and all our favourites Allie, Clay & Jared are back. It’s four years on and we see what they have all been up to. It’s fast paced, full of mystery and suspense, steamy and theres twists and turns to keep you guessing. It was very emotional and a few loose ends got all tied up, I loved that!

Closure

Glad the story is at least all tied up. I think Allie may have been more tough like an alpha should be but she made the same mistakes as before. Not thinking brings through or communicating with her mates. I also didn't care for the way Viv talked back to her and got away with it. Allie should have leveled her as any alpha would gave done. J and C were still ok.

This one is set a bit forward from the last book. Allie has found her place as alpha of the pack with Jared and Clay by her side as well as her friends. When a danger from her past comes back to wreak havoc with her pack she has to step up and become a true alpha. This comes with harsh decisions. Fast paced with lots of action. Fantastic finale to the series.

Fantastic :) :) definitely worth the wait...Has to be one of the slowest books I've read in as i just didn't want it to end. I'm so emotionally invested in Allie, Jared, Clay and other members of the pack. Justice was well served and happy, the much-loved characters had a happy ending. I wish I hadn't read the spoiler on the website- towards the end... Thank you Elena you did such a great job :)

Wow!!!
Another amazing book from Elena. It was great to get back into this world and see how far everyone has come.
It’s a four year jump forward from the last book, and Allie is taking being alpha so amazingly!!! Her and her mates go through A LOT in this book. Ups/downs/sideways!!!
I can’t wait to read the guys point of views and see what else happens with the trio.
