Dark Powers

Her Demon Lovers #3

by Lacey Carter Andersen

We're losing.

Innocents are dying. My demons are in danger.

And the only way to help them is to find a safe place that even the angels don't know about.

But does such a place even exist?

There's a battle at hand. A battle between good and evil.

I have to find a way to win against impossible odds.

I'm willing to die to change the world. But what if my demons are the ones who will pay for my cause?

DARK POWERS is a steamy paranormal reverse harem romance. It has sexy demons, a tough demon hunter, and a mysterious enemy. But be warned, this book might make you wish for possessive demons of your own. (This book was previously released as Betrayed Hunter.)

136 pages, Kindle Edition

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

Best finale for Sharon's story ever!!! We start right where book two ended with chaos and the guys being captured. Sharon has to figure out what is going on without them while trying to save them at the same time. Luckily they are resourceful in their own right and they have lots of help even of they don't know it. I was shocked, awed, and amazed at the twists this story took that combined to create one incredible story that I was unable to put down. Sharon's main story might be done but there is so much more for us to learn in coming books that I cannot wait for!! I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.

Like the other books in this series book 3 is full on fast paced from beginning to end. This is the end........maybe? Im sure there are more books to come in this universe (Surcy books in particular) but its the end of Sharen's story. The twists and turns keep you gripped before that happens though. With Sharen trying to get her demon husbands - Kade, Alec and Ryder back, as well as save her people. deal with Caine and her powers too. Its one hell of a way to end this series and it was a flaming great read too

Lacey did an great job of closing off this series, and she did it with such a bang!!!! This author had fun with this series and you can tell. Filled with so many twists and turns.

Sharon needs her husbands to rescue her, or does she???

There is something for everyone is this read, betrayal, love, rescue, and if you read all the way through, maybe a HEA.

If you have not read this series yet, I highly recommend that you do. It has everything a paranormal romance needs. I promise you will not regret it.

What a twist!

So many twists! I love how things progressed and they way the author pulled the ending together while setting up the next set.

omg, what a ride!! ... loved this trilogy, Sharen, and her demons ... and that ending? absolutely epic!!

[Melody Kiernan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow!
So many twists and turns, I swear i almost died in a few parts that I don't want to spoil. This is an amazing series and I cant wait to find out what happens in the rest of the story!

[Seraphia Bunny · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is the end of Sharen's story, but things go out with a bang! The story picks up where book two left off. Sharen's men are missing. They have all been taken and separated from each other. Caine is on the prowl determined to break Sharen down and destroy everything that she cares about. Anyone who has helped her is being hunted down, tortured and killed. One of her allies attempts to warn her to go to ground, to hide, but her stubbornness costs him his life in the end. A big fight is coming, and Sharen must keep her head if she is going to win, but first, she must try to find her men, but that's exactly what the enemy wants.
Dark Powers is a non-stop gripping story as we follow Sharen as she tries to figure out who and what she really is, save her men and defeat Caine. There are twists and surprises in this story, but you will be glued to this book until the very end. Sharen has no idea who it is that she can truly trust in this book. A shapeshifter is running amuck and trust is a commodity that few can afford.
There is nothing that I don't like about this book. It is well done! I was engaged from beginning to end. I'm sad for Sharen's story to be coming to an end, but I am hopeful that there will be more to come for the others.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. If you have read the previous books, grab this one. If you have not read them yet, grab and read those first before you read this one otherwise you'll be lost.

Sharen and her demons are back, well mostly just Sharen after the cliffhanger ending we got in book two of Her Demon Lovers. But all hope isn't lost just yet and Sharen will do whatever it takes to get her demons back, and they will do whatever they can to get back to her too.

I've really enjoyed this series by author, Lacey Carter Andersen. Added to that she also has a spin-off series with Surcy and her demons as well makes the whole thing perfect. Book three pretty much ties up a lot of the loose endings in Sharen's story while also setting things up for Surcy's books.

I admit I will miss Sharen and her men but maybe we will get to see some cameos of them in future series by the author. This book was definitely a great way to end this particular story arc and there were lots of twists and turns throughout making it a great read from start to finish.

If you like demons and hunters then I would definitely recommend this series.

[Douglas Williamson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Things are not going well for our heroine and her men. Can she turn things around without losing everything she has come to cherish?

This is book three of the series. It works okay as a standalone, but you will be missing the backstory. I recommend starting at the beginning.

This is an urban fantasy story featuring angels and demons as well as a reverse harem. The story is well written and easy to read with a complex setting and a well developed cast of characters. The characters are particularly intriguing as they have unique characteristics, strengths and weaknesses which definitely keeps things interesting. The plot moves along at a good pace and features several twists and turns that keep you guessing as to what comes next right up until the very end. Overall, it was a very enjoyable story.

Highly recommended

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout for review purposes.

This ending was seriously firery and explosive! The author did a fantastic job wrapping up this characters story and yet leaving so much room in this world to play with and I want more of this world and these characters! This had so many twists and turns it kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t put this story down because I needed to know what would happen next. Sharen is separated from her demon husbands and it seems as if all is lost yet they won’t give up. The betrayal definitely hurt and wow was it intense! There were some very cryptic moments and messages making you wonder how it all would connect. This was an amazing way to wrap up Sharen’s story though I still want so much more of her men and her along with this world. I never wanted to leave it. This series is so worth the time because it’s a joy to read!

[Dori Miller · Rating 5 out of 5]

When things feel utterly hopeless, Sharen finds the truth which will set them all free... maybe. Of course, it may take more time than they have to actually understand it, let alone embrace it and make it her own. To save her people and her Demon husbands, however, she would gladly give up her power and even her life to make things right.

This powerful conclusion to Sharen's story will leave the reader feeling relieved and baffled with 98% resolution. Lacey Carter Andersen takes that remaining 2%, though, and like the faintest whisper of a long forgotten perfume on a fleeting evening breeze, tantalizes us with the reminder that a successful battle doesn't exactly win the war...

6 stars. 'Nuff said!

[Kristen Lewendon · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book has more twists, turns, and double-crosses than a sidewinder having a seizure. Sharen can’t trust anything she thinks she knows, and every new thing she learns makes her doubt the beliefs that have sustained her. Please note, that while this book answers Sharen’s fate, there are still more questions about the fate of the world waiting to be answered. The deeper I got into the story, the faster I wanted to be able to read it. I didn’t just want to know what happened next, I NEEDED to know how it would turn out.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author through Black Cat.

Put another ball in motion

Sharen, former hunter, and her three demon husbands (Kade, Alec, and Ryder) have been separated and Sharen is desperate to find them after the battleground their headquarters looked like. As the story progresses an apparent friend betrays, cryptic messages point the way, and figuring out the traitor in their midst could cost them more than they know. Lacey Carter Andersen put another ball in motion with Dark Powers, wrapping up Sharen’s story and leaving more for the reader to discover.

I read this book with my Kindle Unlimited subscription and I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

[Mrs R · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is book 3 and you need to have read the previous 2.
This book was action packed from beginning to end. Sharen has come back to a blood bath and everyone missing, including her husbands.
Sharen is still the kickass rebellion leader she always has been but is now coming into her powers but has no idea how to control them yet. She doesn't know who she can trust.
This book is full of great characters, twists in the story and some gruesome scenes as they fight against Caine.
This is a great book to complete Sharen's part of the story, but the world building does continue in another series (Supernatural Lies) if you want to find out what happens to some of the other characters.

[Lene Blackthorn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Final book in this series wraps up the fight between Sharen, her rebellion, and Caine on the other side. There are wrongs that need to be made right, and Sharen does her best to achieve that, especially in light of the revelations related to her identity. However, even though the fight is over for now, it's not the end, and there is more to be expected.
I enjoyed the rollercoaster of Sharen's story, building up the tension until the end and then leaving space for another story to come. The drama and action were complimented by romance and several steamy scenes, and especially the main character grew considerably comparing to book one (even though I still see some potential to grow more).

[Book Addict · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was an interesting series by Lacey Carter Andersen, a series that had me with mixed feeling about what I was reading through the whole three books. But I will say that I think book three was the best of the series..everything really come together in this book, Sharen really comes into her powers and I enjoyed the connections with her demons in this book. We really get to know the history behind Sharen, a lot of surprises are brought to light about her identity. Even though this is the end of this series there is so much potential for more from this world, so much more development for the characters. This is a great last book in this exciting series...highly recomended!

[FluffPandas · Rating 5 out of 5]

From the suspenseful end to book 2 to the fast-paced action of book 3, this novel (and series) has been amazing and I look forward to more of this world.

The novel is incredibly written, with all the action (which is a lot) and fast-paced plot points of a brilliant mind! I am sad to let Sharen go, but hopefully, she shall appear again!

Sharen is the total MVP of this series and she is such a dang good heroine, having done as much as she did, a lot of it alone (after that Book 2 cliffhanger of a lifetime).

I am really excited to see what's in store for this world, as the end sets up Surcy's story nicely!

[sherri jones-teachout · Rating 5 out of 5]

What is Sharen? Where do her powers come from? Can she defeat Caine?
Sharen has lost her people and her three demon husbands. But in order to win against Caine and stop him from taking her powers she needs to remain hopeful. But her demons are not out for the count. As cruel as Caine is, some of his people will betray him and that might just be enough to free Sharen’s men. But Caine has planted a shapeshifter withing her midst and he can take the personage of anyone. Even someone Sharen trust implicitly.

[Stan Hutchings · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the conclusion of Her Demon Lovers. It would be most advisable to read the two previous books before starting this one. It is not standalone but concludes the story started in the previous books. Sharen gradually discovers the perpetrators of the conspiracy and why they made her suffer. Her powers continue to increase and she is determined to rescue the innocents, root out the corruption among the angels, defeat the army of angels sent against her, and fix the world. Finally, the bloody showdown battle is begun, which ends satisfactorily but still is ‘to be continued’ for the final outcome of the war.

[Samantha Silensky · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is packed full of action and suspense. Thrown into a hopeless situation sharen must figure out everything she must do to fix everything, without anyone by her side. Her world has been thrown upside down, and only she can fix it. But how? She races against the clock to save everyone, not even caring about saving herself. She’s watched too many people die, and refuses to let any more. But what happens when she becomes hopeless? What happens when those she cares most about, are gone? The writing in this book was phenomenal and the characters are amazing.

[Retta · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an amazing wrap up but not an HEA. It obviously continues in another story arc just not Sharen’s. I love Lacey’s books, they always mix you up and keep you hooked in all the best ways. I can’t wait to see where the next story arc takes us and I loved reading about Sharen. There is always so much action and so many plot twists,I almost can’t keep everything straight and I’m glad it didn’t just end and there is more to come, because you can obviously see there is more to tell with this story. But where will it take us, only Lacey knows, or does she yet? Only time will tell.

[Katherine Jordan · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book starts with chaos, Sharen is unsure if her demons live and it is killing her. The angels are after her with a vengeance and she must hide and move carefully. There is massive blood shed in their hideout and she finds the body of a friend and is trying to figure out what is going on and what happened. This book is great and will keep your attention from the start to the finish and will keep you reading. It is worth the read in my opinion.

This third book gave us so many twists and turns for Sharen. There wasn't a dull moment. And I loved how everything came together nicely right at the end, which leaves you satisfied with that ending... And leaving the world open for more books in this world if the author chooses to write more. It's a fast paced book, which I really felt suited the characters and plot beautifully. Wonderful supernatural book that will have your emotions going up and down, a story that just captures your attention and characters that are inventive and creative. Loved it!

[Kelly Bugler · Rating 4 out of 5]

Amazing end to this character Arc - Hopefully way more books in this world!?!
This was an Action packed book from start to finish I could not stop reading, literally had to know what was going to happen next.
Sharen is suffering without her husbands and she will do anything to get them back. Fortunately for her hey are just as desperate to get back to her.
Brilliant Book. Cannot wait for the next book in this world.

[Noelle Woodruff · Rating 5 out of 5]

And its over..ish. I feel like there could be more in this universe that Lacey will hopefully give us some day:) but this book gives you all the feels! You will most likely yell a few times..I know I did lol But we find out the information about Sharen...no spoilers here. But I like Sharen, to save her people and her Demon husbands, she would gladly give up her power and even her life to make things right. Much to her husbands displeasure of course lol But Caine is a nutjob lol

[Hannah Palmer · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this book a lot even though your left with more questions by the end of it. Sharen finally finds out who she is and why she is being hunted and it’s definitely not the reason you think it is. The start of the book picks up where the last one ends. The headquarters is in tatters after a raid and her husbands are missing. You really feel for all of them as they don’t know whose dead or alive. I can’t wait to see what the next part brings!

[Lory · Rating 5 out of 5]

What and amazing series!!! It answer some of the questions I had but at the same time left me with so much more. So I'm looking forward to seeing a continuation in this world. Overall a great read with plenty of twist and turn, action, and suspense to keep you hooked from beginning to end. As always my reviews are totally voluntarily no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

[Lisa Maher · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Sharen and her Demons and though this book brings things to the beginning of finding all the answers, it leaves more to be found at the end of it. I serious need the rest of the answers but I love the appearance of Saurcy and her guys. That was a neat crossover and one I am sure will continue with the rest of the stories in this world. I need to know how they unravel the web that has been created and what happens next.

[Aimee Bower · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sharen comes back to find everyone missing including her husband. Sharen knows she will do whatever she can to get them back. Sharen finds clues to how is behind it. Sharen will follow the clues that will lead her to the fight. Sharen will learn about her magic and more.

This was a fast paced story that will take you on a rollercoaster ride. It was fast paced, action packed and more. There is so much in this book I didn't cover, I recommend reading this
