Lyra
As soon as I saw him, I knew that I would fall. I knew that I would give up my wings to be able to live my life at his side. He was perfection, he was everything, he was my mate … and then we were betrayed by his alpha, the one person that we should have been able to trust the most. I thought that feeling my wings being torn from my body would be the most agonising experience in my life but it was nothing compared to being torn away from my mate. I’ve sat in this cage ever since, but I don’t intend to stay here. They think I’m weak, they think I’m broken but I’m just biding my time. I will be with Wyatt again.

Wyatt
I found her, nearly a decade ago I did the impossible and I found my mate. But we were betrayed. My own Alpha locked her away, used her as a threat to make me do terrible things. I thought that he had broken me. I was drowning in my grief and death seemed like a welcome relief.
When the pack was faced with war, we stood strong. The alpha was defeated and though we suffered heavy losses, we survived. Now in the aftermath, there is only one thing left to do. I will get her back. I will search to the edges of this realm if I have to but no one will keep me from her again. With my pack brothers at my side, it’s time to start our own war and nothing will keep us from our mate.

In the next instalment of the Destiny Series, Wyatt, Caleb and Dom set out to find their mate who was stolen from them nearly a decade ago. Danger and death wait in the shadows for them, new enemies are rising up against the pack and long-buried secrets are finally starting to come to light. But as they fight to find the woman who was fated to be theirs, there is one thing that they haven’t considered … just how long can an angel survive without her wings?

I’m a British author who writes paranormal reverse harem romance books.

I couldn’t survive with tea and potentially swear far too much for any kind of polite society. So I spend most of my days shut inside the writing cave and talking to all the voices in my head. Being a writer has given me the ideal excuse to fully embrace the crazy side of my personality, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

I have an amazing reader group on Facebook, which I would LOVE you to join. Be the first to find out all the news on my upcoming projects and chat with me daily.

Brilliantly done

Wow! This book grips your heart from the first page and doesn’t let go. I’ve been a fan of this series from the beginning, and this book doesn’t disappoint. The series has a more mature feel to it, whether from the characters being older themselves, or the growth of the author, this book delivers.

This book takes us on the journey of Wyatt, Caleb and Dom as the head out to find their captured mate. Getting to see the POV of characters we loved and knew from the first three books was wonderful. It gave the peek behind the curtain the reader needed to empathize with Wyatt, fall more in love with Caleb, and understand Dom. Wyatt frustrated me at the end of Destiny Realised, so to first feel his heartbreak and then see his redemption was beautiful to be part of. By the end I was crying for a character I’d been cursing at in the beginning. If that isn’t great character growth and development, then take your opinion somewhere else because I won’t believe you.

Caleb has been my quiet favorite from book one, so to get to see him more, as well as find his love, was a dream come true. Though it would have been even better if I’d been in that dream, but I digress. I love the relationship he has with Dom and the path they take to each other.

This book pulls you in and promises to take you on an epic journey. There are angels, vampires, and dark Magic adrift. Who is the bad guy, who is the good guy, and who is the snake in the grass... you will constantly be changing your mind because the twists are topsy turvey good. The reveal at the end has my mind exploding. 🤯

Multiple POVs. Med-High Heat. MM. No real cliffhanger. The story will pick up with a new set. While it’s not necessary to read the first three books as this one focuses on different characters, it adds to the backstory and makes it entertaining to see the return of some characters. Looking at you Frannie. I can’t wait for what’s next.

This book absorbed me into a world where I was able to let my imagination run wild, pretend I was the beautiful and strong Lyra, and bonus!! She bonds with more than one mate!

Yes, take me away into a far away place with portals, shifters, vampires, angels, fae and so much more. I liked when reading this story I felt small. It was like that feeling I get when I am on the beach and your senses are calm and at the same time peaked. You hear the ocean, and smell sunblock, and look up into the sky and think wow the world is so much bigger than us. I felt like the world created here was bigger than me and it was just a complete break to get lost into.

The beginning of the story was sad, the beginning of a tragic love story between Lyra and Wyatt. A fallen angel who sacrificed so much of herself for her mate and alpha Wyatt.

I didn’t know how any of this was going to work. Ahaha but I think that is why I was soaking up every page. Wyatt, I was very drawn to, he was the alpha of the pack and so guilt ridden and without given anything away I felt like he came full circle with the epilogue. And what an epilogue that was!!!!!

I loved how the author made us feel their sense of lost and fight. Trying to find one another and the constant danger they were in through out the book. I want to read more. There is more out there and few more questions I have.

Caleb offered the lightheartedness, Dom was the wise one, though I will say Wyatt made me lol when let’s say something finally happened! Insert someone else and combine all their magic with Lyra’s and it was INTENSE. Yes, it’s reverse harem! Dom, Caleb, and Lyra were seriously sexy. Ah but I was shaking when Wyatt gets involved. What is it about a bossy man, It was so hot that he liked watching Lyra take pleasure from her other mates, but then as I said before, that epilogue was so satisfying. I don’t want to give anything a way. Lyra worked through her pain, her suffering, to fight for her mates, herself and others. They were all heroes! I want in the pack house...it may be for selfish reasons but you will want in too ;)

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

description

Lyra is a trained warrior angel. Angels are loners by nature and would set forth flying to observe but always kept to themselves. Lyra was not the case. She was a curious young angel wanting to know more about other species in the magical world, most especially about shifters. Angels are not allowed to interact with other beings outside their kind. Too bad that they did not drill it well enough into her.

Wyatt is part of Marcus' old shifter clan and was second-in-command for Marcus' pack. Marcus gruesomely killed Wyatt's parents to ensure his reign over the group. Wyatt begrudgingly followed Marcus' rule without question, mostly since he was a lot younger at the time. That was until he met Lyra that Marcus found something to

Lyra and Wyatt's first meeting was serendipitous. Lyra was on her random flights and caught sight of him. Her initial interactions (yes, it became a habit of the sorts) with Wyatt was a one-sided one until Wyatt broke down in front of her. Unknowingly to Lyra and Wyatt, a unique connection at that particular meeting - that they found each other - Mates for life.
Sadly, it was a short-lived realization because Marcus found Wyatt's weak point. Marcus took Lyra away. Wyatt was still young and did not have enough clout to start his pack to search for Lyra and go against Marcus, so he bid his time in the hopes that Marcus would be able to reveal her whereabouts. Too bad that Marcus realized this and sold her to the cruelest clan in the magical world, the vampires, then cursed Wyatt.
Only after Kyle returned from their journey with Aria, defeated Marcus, and found his diaries that Wyatt and the werewolf pack had a clue what happened to Lyra - sold and moved out of Marcus' dungeon.

Wyatt's journey started after the Blood Moon battle (Book 1-3), and it seemed like a daunting task - find his mate after close to a decade of no word. Even if the other people in his clan wanted to help, they were all still recovering, so he had to set-off with his friends, Caleb and Don, to rescue Lyra.

Revelations is from a multi-characters' POVs. Yes, readers will look into Lyra and Wyatt's head but also Aria and some new casts. The story dives into more adventures of finding their way back home, preparing for another big battle to protect Lyra while discovering their other mates to form a unique bond like in Book 1-3.

Being captive is one thing, being a captive with something the vampires need and drain from you in a whole lot of bad. The things that Lyra had gone through were horrifying. The descriptions were so vivid in words that I felt that I was at Cassius' feasting celebrations and in Lyra's dingy dark holding cell.
Trained to be a warrior, Lyra was one of the best in her class. Before Wyatt, her existence was to fight and procreate as directed by their leader. It was the purpose of living for someone else's purpose and limited in thought/information. She described it to be a dictator-like rule for angels. After choosing to be with Wyatt, she starts learning more about the real world, and although she was on the unlucky side at the start, she soon discovers that her magic is within herself and has not left her, even if she had been "fallen."

When Lyra and Wyatt do reunite, there was still guilt and self-doubt brewing between them. Both felt responsible for protecting the other, but given that they met young and could only do so much, they should cut themselves some slake under the circumstances. We realize that both main characters are strong - mind and body, but their spirits need each other to grow and bond as mates. I love how CJ was able to show how forgiveness and love become a powerful tool in unleashing Lyra and Wyatt's true potentials and their positions in their pack/clan.

Wyatt still had his share of trauma, guilt, and a self-defeatist attitude. He was closed off more, causing him to retreat further into himself, which did not fare well with Lyra, who already felt alone.
Wyatt's internal struggles wrestled within him - to hide Lyra from the world for her safety or to place her in danger to get her powers back. He was even considering the crazy, suicide mission ideas of Lyra.
It saddens me to see how affected he is, even if no one, especially Lyra, blames him for anything that happened in the past. They all understood what Wyatt had to do and did the best they can to protect the people around him. He had to face up and learn to accept that sometimes, bad things happen to good people. From these times, they come out stronger and more worthy of the gifts that they bequeath in the end.

Comparing to Lyra and Aria, a notable advantage is that Lyra understands a bit more of the magical world, what she is/was, and her powers as an angel. But with her powers dwindling, things are not looking any better when she was still held captive. There is still looming threat all around the shifters pack, and now with Lyra in their protection, more magical beings are out to get her back.
Like Aria, Lyra had to quickly learn her "new normal."
Her self-doubt did not help as she had daunting tasks ahead of her:
(a) surviving the journey in her weakened state,
(b) find the powers within her (if there is still any),
(c) rescue a few loved ones along the way, and
(d) try to grasp her HEA.
It is not an easy task, especially when the rest of the magical beings after her are vindictive, more powerful, and wants her untapped powers. But with the help of Aria and the whole pack - they protect their own!

There are few (new and old) memorable characters in this series that made things more interesting:-

1) Damon is a young vampire that is part of Carrius' clan and is essential to Lyra. I firmly believed that his involvement shifted everything for the story. His selfless act helped shaped the book into what it is. His role was not easy and later has garnered a lot of respect from Lyra's mates.

2.) Caleb is the lone werewolf and has been part of the Destiny series from the beginning. He used to be with Marcus' shifter wolf clan but felt out-of-place from the start and thus volunteered to teach at the Acadamy. He met Dominic there and became close friends while preparing the kids for the Blood Moon battle.
His personality by Book 4 has shifted from feeling out-of-place to being more comfortable in Wyatt's pack. He brings Dominic to the pack and takes on a more outgoing role of helping Wyatt and Lyra strengthen their relationship.
Caleb still struggles to be part of a pack, family, and fit in. He later discovers more about himself and the dynamics of his new pack with Dominic beside him.

3.) Dominic is the mage member of Lyra and Wyatt's pack. He helps Lyra find out more about her through his mage connections. He steps up more in this book as he starts being responsible to his fellow pack members. It's like a younger version of Dumbledor but still learning the ropes of being a mage. Readers will get to know more about his family and mage culture. Dominic left the Mage Realm to escape this family and their expectations for him. We get to meet his brother that he mentioned early on in the series.

4.) Aurel is a d*ck! Sorry sorry, but he truly is! He's the angel who could have done something to help Lyra!!! But nope - he stood by the horrors he saw and DID NOThinG - for an angel?!?! *rant over*
He is a cocky fellow but essential in the story. I understood why CJ portrayed him as such. Readers will hate him but need to remember that he's on the side of Lyra (and himself, of course) and will be critical in the end.

5.) Frannie!!! I really miss this mystic woman, and she is always there in the best of parts! She's the seer/kitsune that helps Aria then now, Lyra and the gang. She is still her cooky self, and I miss her weird antics. FYI - Wyatt avoids her after his last encounter with her. She is one of my favorite characters, not because of her unique abilities, but because of the humor that she interjects.

In true CJ style, when I thought it would just be werewolf versus vampires because angels like Aurel would never stoop to lower beings for power (*sarcastic laugh* haha!), but nope. She refused to be predictable and made the story more complicated. She stunned me to add more types of magical beings to help Lyra and Wyatt. I was floored by the way she found her mates and herself in the end. There's a lot more going on versus what Aria's experiences were, so the plot and intricacies are new.

Overall, I suggest you all "drop everything and get the book immediately"! I was so excited when I received the opportunity to review CJ's Revelations. This is the story that I have been waiting for since the book series started. I am glad that it is not only me that clamored for Wyatt's HEA.
The story has more grit and realism on human resilience. It tackles the conundrums on what it would be like to choose love versus power, love to one's own kind?
For Lyra, it was the easiest and most honest decision. There is drama, suspense, and edge-of-your-seat sort of plot twists.
Also, readers will get a glimpse of a new type of pack forming through Wyatt and Lyra. A new pack with new members and unique experiences that are different from CJ's previous books. It is a refreshing take on the anti-hero and how things turned out in the end.
I recommend this book to readers who love fantasy, the paranormal, a few vampires and werewolves, plus a great love story involving a hot, steamy werewolf/mage harem to a brave angel.


**Side note: I do have a few more questions in my head after everything was over. Note that this can stand on its own and wraps up nicely for Wyatt and Lyra's story. Many new players in this book added more to my curiosity, and I hope CJ would be able to sort it out in the next books. I read that she's working on the next ones slowly.

This story had such a tragic feel to it as Lyra and Wyatt found love and were torn apart by the manipulative betraying Alpha Marcus. Lyra was a fallen angel who sacrificed so much for the love of her mate, Wyatt. She not only lost her wings, but was sold to vampires and suffered under their hands. Through it all, she remained unbroken, waiting for her chance.

Wyatt had begrudgingly followed Marcus' commands for a long time. In the beginning, it was because he was so young. Later, when Lyra was taken from him as a means of bargaining for his compliance, he was trying to keep her alive until he could find her. Now that Marcus is out of the way, will Wyatt find his mate? Will she still feel the same about him? Or has she finally been damaged beyond recovery?

Revelations is my favourite book of CJ Cooke's to date!

A little bit darker than her previous books, Revelations is the story of Lyra, an angel, and her men. Expect vampires, angels, wolves, witches, makes and more in this paranormal RH romance. You can also expect danger and intrigue, heartbreak and hope, tears and joy. This one was a bit of a roller coaster!

Can't wait to see what the author has next for us!

CJ Cooke did a good job on this story, the plot and characters were strong, the story was written well, it was packed with several emotions. The characters' journey was a rocky one but they were fighters.
I enjoyed this story. Thanks, CJ Cooke. Good work :)

Revelations was the fourth book in a series by CJ Cooke.
You must read the previous books to be able to fully enjoy and appreciate this book.
What I liked most about this book was the layers of POV from different characters.
We get some answers to questions and the next books will hopefully answer more.
What is love about CJ is her ability to move her story along with action and make the reader go on an emotional roller coaster.
The author put a red herring into the book and made me once again surprised with her twists and turns.

Wow I have been a huge fan of this series from the beginning. This is about a Wyatt, Dom, and Caleb as they look for their captured mate. Caleb is the quiet one and his relationship with Dom .. swoon and so hot.. I love the m/m in this book., Wyatt I didn’t really like in the first few books but I love him now.. I really loved this book, the way it’s takes you and your heart on the journey and doesn’t let go long after you finish it. I will forever be grateful for finding this series .. it will be a reread when I need a good fantasy love story. I love the multiple POVs.. I love the MM and there are angels and demons and vampires along with black magic.. it’s not necessary to read the first three books but you will want to after you read this one.. I really loved it... it’s available now so what are you waiting for? Go one click.

Beautiful cover for Revelations!!!

WOW, what an thrilling ride. I finally got to read Lyra's story after being introduced in CJ Cooke's Destiny Realised. Her inner strength and unyielding spirit is unimaginable, even after the horror inflicted on her. She rose from the ashes like a phoenix, a vengeful one and fought back and I loved her for it. Damsel in distress she is not.

I adored the relationship with her mates and the naivety she sometimes displayed at what people perceived as socially acceptable. A breath of fresh air! My heart kept speeding up with all the turns in the book and the final battle had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Ms Cooke, there is an angel in there that needs to be plucked!

Can't wait for the next book to see if Damon and Stone are mates and who is their lucky lady!

Holy cow this book is EPIC! From the start, the story is gripping and heavily emotional. You feel so much for the characters, the loss, and the pain they've suffered over the years. There is a battle brewing and they need to find their lost mate. The journey back to one another is filled with redemption, trust, and authenticity. I loved seeing Caleb in such a new way and his relationships with Dom is filled with such joy and love. So many great things occur and it makes you excited for the rest of the series. I loved getting to see our favorite characters from the previous books, as well as falling in love with a bunch of new ones. Nothing about this story disappoints as it is filled with rich emotions, plot, and characters. Multi Pov, med-high burn, MM, darker and emotional, it's full of heart.

Gripping Series

I first found this author with her new Stoneridge Pack series, which I absolutely devoured. I next proceeded to happily skip off to see what else she had written and found my way to this series which has proven to be a gripping, action packed, fast paced ride, with kickass fmc's and the Heroes who worship them. Strong character and world building, mystery and suspense, and some really steamy times? Sign me up! CJ Cooke is definitely on my "to be stalked" list.

Epic!

I was hooked from the beginning! I was taken through all the emotions and absolutely fell in love with Lyra, as well as her mates. This book had me in tears in so many places from laughter to the emotionally ugly cry. This is one of those books that I will keep re-reading it was that good.

spoiler ranting

First off, I gave all the previous books 5 stars. This book however, just GRR! I gave it a 3 simply because Aria is my absolute favorite type of fmc but even she was a little disappointing in this book. I almost never write reviews with spoilers because I hate that but I’m just too aggravated and there’s really no way to explain without them but I will try not to say too much.

First in the beginning she says “if such a God was possible”. How can you have angels and not a God of any kind? Just too off the mark for me. What really had me wanting to stop reading was the fact that she made an absolute promise to come back for the vampire but in fact, she never even mentioned him! Not even 1x, and then had the nerve to act pissed when he didn’t believe that she would. To me, that ruined her character.

Next, it was just too unbelievable that Wyatt couldn’t have gotten around the curse sooner when it only took minutes in the story. I didn’t like his character at all. Especially during the last fight.

The A-hole angel, smh. I could write paragraphs about that dude. Just how could he be allowed to fly off laughing, when the type of personalities of characters in the book would never allow that?

Finally, the last fight was just ridiculous. When you consider the previous battles, there was no reasonable explanation as to why the vampires wouldn’t have been an easy fight with the force that was against them. Not to mention, when would a vampire be stronger than an angel and there was 2 there 🤦🏻‍♀️

And are all the men going to have such disgusting fathers? I just don’t know if I will go to the next book.

Not sure if it was just my edition, but the editing in this book was truly awful. The dude who decided to add all the commas should have his Alpha Reader status revoked. The comma splices were truly atrocious. The incorrect usage of the pronoun I as an object also shows the author's (and her editors' and Readers') lack of familiarity with grammar usage and mechanics.

Thankfully I was invested enough in the story to push through, but it was rough.

Compared to the first 3 books of the series, this book was quite a letdown for me. The very first thing is the writingstyle. In all the books I feel like past and present are kinda used randomly, but this book was the worst so far. What I mean for example:

'I looked around the library at the other weary faces as we sat in silence. It had only been just over a week since we faces the demon hoard and most are still recovering.'

I guess it might be correct grammar, I don't know, English is not my main language. But it still bothered me a lot while reading.

The story itself was... Meh... Not exactly bad but it really could have been way shorter. The thing that annoyed me the most was all of the very convenient timings though. Lyra and Wyatt met about 9 years ago and a lot of that time she has been with Who have done their absolute best to weaken her and it's said multiple times in the story that if she wasn't an she'd already be dead.

She eventually escapes though and despite it being years and years, she does this EXACTLY the same moment her mates choose to come find her. Suuuuure, nothing suspicious about that at all. When they eventually get her out, they discover she is So they spend a large part of the story running all over the place trying to figure out a way on how to find him.

They keep switching between making it sound so very dire that

Oh, and at some point one of the comes looking for her. And oh so conveniently he comes alone and is right outside of the packhouse (how did he get there without the wolves and their so-called sensitive sense of smell) and surprise surprise,

I can continue like this, there were just too many inconsistencies and things that didn't make sense.

And here comes a rant about Aurel because the massive *sshole deserves to have his own section with all that he did. From the beginning you already end up not liking him but you still think he at least has some kind of moral compass or a small sliver of decency. Spoiler alert: And does he get any kind of retribution for all of that?! Nope, nothing! Absolutely nothing! Unless you count the one time

This book just leaves you with more questions unanswered and even though the whole series is out I'm not sure I have it in me to read the last 2 books. The direction the story is going in sucks and you just discover more plots, more mystery and ofcourse more absolute evil monsters who do the worst kinds of things to others. Most of them don't get their due and a lot of things don't make sense or are not explained.

I had a hard time getting through this book. I don't know if it's because I expected the series to continue Aria and her mates story, and it wasn't about them. This book didn't interest me until almost the end. I just couldn't relate to the characters. Kieran being brought in at the end was weird. The whole Aurel and the sword scene was weird. I mean, the plot got better and then the story just ended. The action towards the end was all that made this book interesting at all. I don't know what was up with Wyatt, but I didn't like him in this book. He was fine in the previous book. But he was a loser in this one. Dom came from a powerful wizard family, but seemed to have power for a short amount of time only. His story is brought in and nothing concluded. Kieran's story is started and not finished. I just wasn't impressed. Sad, because the rest of the series has been pretty good. This book disappointed me.

2/18/24- I thought of my review, and I wanted to make note that there is another book after this. I thought this was the end of the series. We will see what the next book brings. I can’t say that I really enjoyed the book anyway. But, at least there’s another one to see if some of the loose ends get tied up.

I have mixed feelings after reading this. I felt like the dynamics were eerily similar to the first 3 books. I could go on but in summary, it felt incomplete vs omg I need to read the next to see what happens. The details matter. With that said, I still gave it a 3 because while I did enjoy it, ish, it's not a bad read, just missed the mark for me, but I will continue and read about Echo.

Great book. I loved the characters, but I have some complaints about the spicy scenes...

So, I loved the Destiny Series and Revelations. But, I'm a bit frustrated with the MM (Dom & Caleb), and at the end (Wyatt & Kieran). I love it when Reverse Harems have some MM in them like the Noir Reformatory series by Lexi C. Foss & J.R Thorn. However, in the Destiny series, all they do (sex-wise) is nothing more than Forplay, they never go past the Forplay, if you know what I mean. It was the same with Liam & Sykes, and it's just so frustrating. I feel kind of cheated. And, Wyatt & Kieran got even less than basic Forplay. Something that I didn't understand about Revelations is why Lyra and her mates never got the ability to talk in each other's minds, 🤔. Other than that, the book was good, 👍.

Great resolution to Wyatt & his mate. I am so happy that Dom & Caleb were part of his pack. They had a lot of issues to work through, but they made it there in the end.

I was surprised but who the 4th mate was but loved that little twist. It was an interesting concept about Lyra's health needing the bonding to be complete. But I did love that extra connection.

There is so much unrest in the realms between the Mage Library, the Angels & the betrayal of the Fae. Not to mention the whole Asgard drama. I love that this was connected to the other books and that their stories are still intertwined. Still love me some Frannie and will til the end.

I definitely enjoyed this group—Lyra and most of the guys are all really interesting with their backstories and interactions with each other. However, I've mentioned it before in another review for this series, there's really not much romantic development here because of the "fated mates" trope. I mean, the last "mate" isn't even introduced until 80% into the book and he's immediately accepted into the group with no hiccups. The world-building is still solid, though I will say at this point there's almost too much going on, enhanced by the continued chain of cartoonishly evil antagonists. And there's also still copy-editing mistakes through and clunky exposition, though again, that's been standard for this series.

Rating books 1-5 together - have to wait for a month for book 6 to be released :( normally my limit is 4 books in a series, otherwise I find they get repetitive. But they did such a great job with this series. Books 1-3 are one main storyline. And then we get another storyline with both books 4 and 5. Bring in past characters we love into the main story while still touching on past favorite characters. This was a page turner that for sure made me loose some sleep because I had hard time putting them down.

This was incredible!! I was so invested in Wyatt losing his Mate and wanted to see how that would go. This may have been my favorite book of the series!! Lyra is a badass. She could have easily been written as a weak damsel but she absolutely was not! What they all went through to find her and keep her was heartbreaking at times but so worth it. The love between two of the MMC’s was so sweet too! I wish the last bit wasn’t rushed and we could have seen the newest mate and Wyatt building their budding relationship more. This crew could have been in two books.

angels

Revelations is book four in the series Destiny by author CJ Cooke, Cate J Cooke. WOW!! So much is going on between these pages- bad vampires, bad angels and so much more. This one is filled with all the emotional damage that can be inflicted and more so. My heart ached in certain parts of this book. Yet it also gladden at the thought of…. well I’ll leave that to you.
Enjoy!!

Good Book

This is another fabulous book in the Destiny series. It expanded the story that started in the first three and started to look deeper into the events surrounding the demon invasion and what else was going on in the magic realm. I loved the fact that this book dealt with what had happened to Wyatt in the previous books and really enjoyed it. Overall, a great book and one I would recommend reading.

some continuity issues

The first grouping “required” that they mate together the first time. This didn’t happen with this group. I understand in the first the two were added later, but in this one 2 of 3 were left out. Also, her eye color randomly changed. In the beginning her eyes are “so dark drown they almost look black” but then at the end they are blue. I get these are things that are sometimes missed so I wanted to point them out so they possibly get fixed.

An epic journey that pulls you in from start to finish. We have all the paranormals that I love, vampires, werewolves, angels, magic both good and bad. And like all the books you have to figure out who's the wolf in sheep's clothing. Great world building with fantastic characters.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

totally worth reading for Lyra and her mates

If you are worried that the next book not being about Aria and her mates, you can stop worrying. Lyra, Wyatt’s long lost mate is found and rescuing her brings some more enemies (surprise!), and more rescues (not so surprising), and plenty of loose ends for the next book. I’m so hooked on this world, I know I’ll be back!

A series worth reading!

Loving the characters and storylines of this series! The realms are a mess and need heroines ( and heroes to bond with). Luckily they are being united. Loving the tests and trials they face as they battle for their people and make the realms better and stronger.
