Fall Mountain Shifters #2
Her Defenders
The alpha rejecting me was just the start of my revenge…
Being an outcast of the wolves was always something I accepted until I met them. The four alpha wolves of Fall Mountain Pack. They showed me I could be so much more than the rejected wolf they found on a beach and saved. They healed me and made me stronger, fixing what was broken in my soul.
But they lied.
Dragged back to the Ravensword Pack, I learn who I am before being left in the hands of the alpha I ran from, starting a war no one can stop. The past that I couldn’t remember has caught up with us, and it turns out they were always a part of it. They aren’t just alpha wolves and our fates are as intertwined as Hades and Persephone’s were.
I never thought being rejected would lead me to my past, but it has, and my past comes with more than a bite
It comes with wings.
This is a full-length reverse harem romance novel full of sexy alpha males, steamy scenes, a strong heroine and a lot of sarcasm. Intended for 18+ readers.

The writing was better compared to the first book, but it was definitely still clunky and hard to understand at times and just generally needed a bit of editing. The story was a bit more meandering in this book and the world-building that was added on with some new species wasn't great and I even found it confusing and hard to follow at times. However, I still found parts of the story compelling enough to finish this series. The kinda cheap cliffhanger helps to push me along but I also think these books aren't bad when I'm just looking for something purely to entertain me.

This second book in the series had way more going on than its predecessor and with the prior dramatic finale I was expecting great things for Mai and her alphas. This was enjoyable and gripping it’s still very light on the spice front which I was kinda disappointed about but I was still enjoying the story direction a lot so I let that go somewhat.
Mai is once again in the hands of her old tormentors back with the Ravensword pack and the mate who once rejected her. Now she will have to decide who she can still trust and this includes the males who she now knows were keeping secrets from her all along.
Mai will also learn that everything she thought she knew about the world she lives in is incorrect and now along with the rest of the remaining fall wolves begins a perilous journey to an unknown place and once again Mai doesn’t have all of the facts.
So this was definitely enjoyable we have action danger and some romance though I’m definitely bummed that there aren’t more sexy times here. This lot grow closer on their journey cross country but I was annoyed at the naivety of Mai’s men when it came to a certain nasty schemer and her wiles, men are so oblivious to the obvious sometimes I was rolling my eyes in pure disbelief and I also couldn’t understand why Mai didn’t create more of a fuss when she wasn’t believed or even be angry that they weren’t taking her seriously just dismissing her concerns, especially considering what the consequences could have been. She just let it go which I found slightly bizarre.
I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series and definitely recommend this just don’t be expecting a graphic one as this definitely isn’t that. This then ends on another cliffhanger.

Honestly very underwhelmed. It started off fine enough, but lost me when Aidia (forgive me if that spelling is off - I’m not redownloading to check) was added - I am SO TIRED of the ‘male love interest doesn’t believe MC that other female friend is toxic and she is increasingly abusive towards MC until the big reveal in which male character is shocked” trope 🙄 honestly it does a disservice to both the MC and the MLI. “You must be confused” makes me want to smack a bitch. And why doesn’t she do a better job of standing up for herself? She has MULTIPLE witnesses if the MLI requires some kind of proof. But they just instantly dismiss her. Why tolerate this behavior? If my boyfriend didn’t believe me + those around me it would be a HUGE red flag. Nooooo thank you. That combined with the ‘just ok’ nature of the rest of the book rates a very solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and I won’t be reading the rest of the series unless I really can’t find anything else to read. Which is unlikely. I was really excited to read and had a reminder for the release date and everything, and now I’m just sad.

Same thing as the last book, the timing is just extremely weird. We get one scene and then it's two weeks later. Also how are these guys only 18-19 and been in charge of packs for multiple years? If I was Mairin and I would be so mad at the alphas.
She is telling them hey I don't trust this person. My wolf doesn't trust this person. Hey this person likes you. Hey this person is the reason I'm injured and almost died. Hey I was even punched in the face by this person if front of one of you. And STILL the guys are like no she's fine. She's like a sister to us, you're just imagining things.
Like are you kidding me????
The plot is still interesting but man did it just change course! There was so much added to this story that I didn't see coming. I will keep reading the series to see what comes next.

Just like the previous book, Her Defenders was pretty easy to devour. Even though it was easy, I didn't think that a lot really happened either. It was nice to see their relationship grow a bit but them travelling back to their home was just kind of boring to me. Also the drama was kind of dumb in my eyes. It just didn't make sense for me at times.
Other than that, we do get to meet new people/species. Which did seem kind of interesting but then went down a confusing route and I quickly lost my interest. Then there's the romance, which eh.. did nothing for me for most of the book. I'm not sure what the next book will give me but I definitely need more. A lot more. Romance, action, you name it - I want it all.
In the end, the cliffhanger was okay but very predictable. Not sure when I will dive into the next book but I hope things pick back up.

I got the ick 33% into the book and will not continue the series. I thought it would be a rejected mate series where she's rejected, she finds way better, might fight the old mate and a happy ending at the end. Instead, it's some kind of reincarnation stuff (I hate the reincarnation trope with a passion) and there's some evil angel and blah blah. Nope. I'm not doing this.

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review.
This series is fantastic! I loved diving back into Mairin's story and seeing her find out more details about herself and her destiny. Her four guys are frustrating, yet so amazing. Valentine, Silas, Ragnar and Henderson all have great qualities. I still like Valentine the most, but Ragnar is sneaking into second.
There are a lot of struggles and battles coming up for Mairin. I do hope a lot of people die painfully, especially a new female we get introduced to. She angers me, haha.
So glad I got the chance to read this and can't wait for the next novel in this series!

Very good read. There's more worldbuilding and you get to know more about the characters. A bit more shut. And a lot more action.
It's a book you don't wanna put down. And the cliffhanger....
So good I've got the rest of the books also😁

To long
To long with little being accomplished and another cliffy that just stops the books.And most of all because you made the men stupid ,and I always hate that. Men aren't stupid ,they know when someone is flirting with them and add the fact that their " mate" told them the girl was a traitor and they didn't believe her .plus all the lying they did to her.Who in their right minds takes their mate back home where any girl can challenge her to the death just to get to mate em🤷 so next book in July and another in October .........
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 nope not for me. To much inner thoughts and dragged book out with it .bye bye series.🙋

Yeah….
The alpha is still alive :/ ya know the whole introduction of them being gods just somehow made it worse I’d prefer if they were all wolves and just had fights between the packs but it just became really confusing.
Also the pacing was so confusing, they were on the train for fucking ages and then when they went into the angel city or whatever it was called it ended so quickly but I wanted them to stay there way longer. The fmc just slept, spoke to them a bit, got attacked and then they left ?????
I don’t know it was such a strangely paced book.

Her Defenders - book 2 in the Fall Mountain Shifters series. The majority of this book is set on a train taking Mai (FMC) and her Alphas - Silas, Henderson, Ragnar & Valentine to their home. Yes it felt a bit long winded on the journey there but in saying that it also gave us a chance for Mai to grow as a character away from Alpha Sylvester. Which i loved how confident she grew in this book an i also loved how her tentative relationship with the guys grew too. The characters that surrounded Mai & the guys also made the book for me too. They certainly kept me entertained and laughing in parts. The ending was knockout!!! I cant wait for the next book now. This was a pretty good read

An abundance of endless intrigue that will have you frantically turning the pages! An exciting storyline that makes you feel as if you are there watching the story as it unfolds! Fun, enjoyable, intense, and emotionally moving! Amazing hot chemistry you just want to sink your teeth into! One heck of an amazing must read!

Ok, props to the author for creating a rather imaginative scenario in which the soul of Hades, true love of Persephone, was split into four alpha werewolf shifters. This way, when Mai has lusty intentions toward all four she seems less like a nympho and more like the trapped soul of a goddess wanting to mate with, well, all of her mates.
A few problems: Mai is supposed to be part goddess, but she tiptoes around like a clueless virgin and all I’m saying is, my goddesses do not tiptoe. They take what they want.
Sore point from the first book: Did we ever discover why Silas was so angry with Henderson for saving Mai’s life? You would think, also being in love with her, he’d be happy or at least not pissed?
Anyway, aside from the incredibly sexy scene where Mai cuts Val’s hair (again, might be the first book), all we know about the men are that Silas is super ripped with storm grey eyes and Ragnar has storm blue eyes. Wait, Val might also have storm blue eyes - I can’t recall.
I can, however, tell you all about the perfect curves of Mai’s body, and her silken blond hair and pouty lips and emerald eyes, blah blah etc.
Don’t think I’ll be picking up (or downloading) the final book.

Officially am done with this series.
On the train. Ohh angels. Poor human slaves. All my boyfriends who now have one personality. Seriously.
I felt like in the first book they had different personalities. This book you don’t know who is who other than Silas cause he trains her, the others just blend into each other now. I didn’t feel any romance between them anymore. Told there was? Yes. Felt it while reading? No.
Plus all the repetition about shit on the train could have been brought down to a couple chapters and we would already be onto the subject that I guess the next book is about. But nooooo. It’s drawn out and then lands on another huge cliffhanger so you have to wait and buy the next book in the series.

For being a rh, I felt like she had zero connection to any of the mmc because it seems like she was doing everything except spending time with them lol one small conversation and home girl runs off to go to sleep for two days. There was no tension to make this slowest of burns worth it. And the guys were just annoyingly secretive and brushed most of her concerns aside the whole time. Not to mention the way they interacted with Adira gave me the biggest ick lmaooo, four grown men w/ no backbone. I don’t think I’ll be finishing this series.

4.5 stars- this was such a good read! Surprisingly this was better than the first book and I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for more.
This book, for only being 250 pages, packs one hell of a punch. There is so much that happens and I can easily see this turning into a 5+ book series! We pick up right where book one left off, with Mai being taken away. Over the course of the book we learn more about who Mai is, who the Fall alphas are (if you couldn’t have already guessed from book one), and meet some new faces along the way.
What I loved about this book is that Bailey doesn’t spend too much time where it isn’t needed. Mai spends a few weeks in captivity and it doesn’t take up 50% of the book, meaning we’re able to see a lot more of her journey progress. I also am loving how Mai is becoming confident both with herself and with her alphas. On the other hand, this is a slow-burn book and I’m looking forward to them all just being upfront with one another about how they feel.
One of the drawbacks is that the book feels extremely overwhelming at times. Baileys universe is intense, with wolves, angels, humans, griffons, courts, and more. Greek mythology also plays a huge role in this story, so needless to say there is a lot going on. I think this leaves room for a ton of spin-offs, but also leaves enough room for confusion with the reader. Im hopeful that the next book will help explain some of the setting more, as I would love to have a clearer image of this society.
Lastly, the characters! For as much as the alphas say they trust Mai, it irked me that they blew her off every time she mentioned that she did not like Adira or at Adira had done something to hurt her. I can understand their reservations, but damn I’m looking forward to the moment where Mai can have her “I told you so!” moment. Another nw development is Callahan, the angel from one of the courts. Callahan is a character I’m really looking forward to getting to know. Is it bad I want him to be part of the harem? He certainly gives the alphas a run for their money, and it’s refreshing to see Mai interact with a man not part of the group. I’m looking forward to seeing him grow closer to Mai, romantically or not.
While a lot happens in this book there is still so much more to be told, and I can’t wait for the next part!

Book 2 starts up with Mai kidnapped by one of the evil angels and taking her back to the alpha who rejected her and left her for dead in the first place. We get to see how even worse off she is treated by the royal db@g and how they mistreat other wolves in the pack. I hope they can somehow get Jesper out successfully before he is brainwashed too much! I was ready to rip Phim a new one, but she turns out alright/I will hold my judgement a bit haha.
Once Mai is able to get back to her new family, we get to see their life in their new environment and I thought the concept was really really intriguing and I loved how it all worked and how the author described the various sections/how the wolves come together/the cliques and food situation. Really great job by the author to create this new sub-world. I loved seeing some of the side characters (especially our wolfy friend haha). We then get to go to a new part of this world and meet some interesting new characters haha. I looooove the new addition to the group, he was great. I liked seeing the different culture and getting more of a sense of this world and the politics they are living with. I liked the battles, it was good to see Mai hold her own and bridge that gap with Phim more. The ending....what the WHAAAAAT. It killed me. I remember reading this when it first came out and wanting to chuck my kindle. Glad the rest of the series is out now haha.
I will say one of the main reasons I didn't give the story 5 stars like I did for book 1 was because I felt Mai changed a bunch and was very forgiving after everything she went through. Like I get she went through a lot of torture but she lost her backbone and spunk when it came to the 4 alphas and like showed her belly and like forgot everything that happened real quick. I just wish she had held out more and really made them earn her forgiveness back. Overall still enjoyed, a solid 4/5 stars.
Narration was good by both performers, especially Bridget while Mai was with her horrible former pack. I felt her terror, frustration, and pain. Great job! We got to hear more from Jake this go around, did a good job with his narration as well (again didnt connect as much as I did with Bridget's performances). I would give them again a solid 4/5 stars ❤️ Already went on to listen to book 3 on audio and can't wait for more!

El segundo libro y siento que la historia se está mejorando, ligeramente, pero lo está haciendo.
Para ser sincera no recuerdo mucho del primero, así que no tengo una base para decir que sea mejor que el primero, pero sí siento que aspectos como el mundo que la autora creo no se tocaron en el primer libro y siento que eso lo hizo mejorar.
Lo mismo el asunto del tren, eso me pareció interesante, no creo haber leído un libro donde la mayor parte del tiempo transcurra en un tren y me pareció cool y diferente esa idea.
Con los personajes, me siguen dando un poco de igual... me parece que siguen siendo personajes planos sin mucho que contar, por más que pasen hablando sobre el pasado que Mairin no recuerda, pero más allá no hay mucho, sí hay interacciones entre Mairin y los alfas que se sientes bastante adorables y conocemos un poco más a Phim, e incluso se nos presentan nuevos personajes que pueden dar un toque interesante a la historia, pero por ahora simplemente son súper secundarios.
Ahora la trama de este libro se siento muy de trama para pasar al tercer libro y a los eventos que pasan allí, porque que realmente pasa en este libro que fuera fundamental para la historia? Solo lo de los últimos capítulos, más o menos últimas 50 páginas, más allá de eso lo que pasa en el libro pudo haberse resumido. Eso no le quita que la autora sabe trabajar finales que te hagan querer seguir la historia, lo que es probable que pase.
En general el libro es decente, se siente una historia con sentido, sin acontecimientos increíblemente tontos ni con decisiones estupidas por parte de los personajes. Me sigue pareciendo que tanto los personajes como la trama tienen mucho más potencial del que se les está dando, pero siento que tal vez en los próximos libros esto vaya a cambiar y quiero darle la oportunidad a ello.

Entertaining read
📣⚠️SPOILERS for story included in review. There's a good chance you'll learn some of what's what below.⚠️📣
The FMC displays her persistence in seeking answers in what I found to be an annoying way. She tries to bombard her rescuers, the 4 Fall Mountain alphas, with questions WHILE they're trying to rescue her and escape with their lives.
Thankfully, feels at least a little shame for her behavior when she finds out how much of the FMP died and how the alphas were busy saving the pack children instead of dropping everything to save her the second she went missing.
I found her inner thoughts to nearly be the death of my respect for her character but once she gets her face out of the sand, my desire to keep reading increased.
Both emotional and physical attachments are strengthened between her and the alphas during book 2 and another goddess emerges as a lovesick enemy. She isn't written in any light other than fake, malicious and desperate to possess the alphas.
Also in book 2, the FMC fights the Levi and gets brought back from the brink of death by Hades through the alphas, gains her powers in a creepy forest and then travels to the alphas true home.
The big cliffhanger is an unidentified male POV (one of the brother alphas) having his identity stolen against his will by another one of the 7 (er, well...we find out there were actually 8 as an added cliffy bomb) goddess/god born. I suspect Mai will be the first to notice but merp... book 3 tells all.

The FMC displays her persistence in seeking answers in what I found to be an annoying way. She tries to bombard her rescuers, the 4 Fall Mountain alphas, with questions WHILE they're trying to rescue her and escape with their lives.
Thankfully, feels at least a little shame for her behavior when she finds out how much of the FMP died and how the alphas were busy saving the pack children instead of dropping everything to save her the second she went missing.
I found her inner thoughts to nearly be the death of my respect for her character but once she gets her face out of the sand, my desire to keep reading increased.
Both emotional and physical attachments are strengthened between her and the alphas during book 2 and another goddess emerges as a lovesick enemy. She isn't written in any light other than fake, malicious and desperate to possess the alphas.
Also in book 2, the FMC fights the Levi and gets brought back from the brink of death by Hades through the alphas, gains her powers in a creepy forest and then travels to the alphas true home.
The big cliffhanger is an unidentified male POV (one of the brother alphas) having his identity stolen against his will by another one of the 7 (er, well...we find out there were actually 8 as an added cliffy bomb) goddess/god born. I suspect Mai will be the first to notice but merp... book 3 tells all.

Hades/Persephone retelling I guess but still interesting
I guess that the story is based off of a different version of Hades and Persephone and in this book we get to really find out about Mairin/Persphone and her back story which was really well written. The story is only 205 pages but it was a quick read because of more than just the length. The story flowed really well and it was easy to read and find out more about the characters. The first few chapters where so emotional for me as I read about what was going on with Mairin and all the new information being introduced. So much action happens and we get to read about characters who switch sides or we realize are very different than what we think. We get to go through the turmoil that Mairin does as she tries to figure out who she should trust and who is an enemy since she cannot remember anything. I love the angst and the tension that the author builds between Mairin and the 4 Alphas as they travel to safety later in the story and that whole journey was just so damn good! The world building, the plot, the mystery! OMG so good. Being introduced to new characters, new allies an new enemies was just so amazingly written. Again, a quick read but that was because I wanted to read more. I wanted to know more. I wouldn't put it down and of course the next book has its own cliff hanging ending making me need to continue in this interesting world that the author has created. Definitely worth buying for my library. On to the next book I go!

DNF at 53%
Rating scale:
⭐️ - Didn’t like it at all/Not for me/DNF
⭐️⭐️ - It was okay but wasn’t that memorable.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ - It was good. Had potential but needed more.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I really enjoyed it
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I absolutely loved it and this book lives in my head rent-free.
🌶️ - Very minimal open-door spice (no s3x, but maybe foreplay).
🌶️🌶️ - one open-door spicy scene or a lot of foreplay.
🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Spice was good and hot (this is where I prefer my spice. Not too much and not too little).
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Lots of spice
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ - The book was filled with spice.
What I rated this book -
⭐️ - 1 star
🌶️ - 0 spice
The book dragged a lot more than book 1 did. I was pushing through, hoping that we’d get some actual romance, but still, it hasn’t happened, and then I read the reviews and apparently, it doesn’t happen at all in this book. We keep getting told that there is romance in this book, but I haven’t seen it or felt it at all. It just feels like a YA at this point, and the whole “angel” aspect feels so weird and out of place. I only know what 2 of the guys look like, and then I started mixing them up when their personalities started bleeding together. The writing is also really weird in some areas. Like the author adds an extra word every now and then where it doesn’t belong and it reads choppy. The transition between scenes is also choppy. It’s also extremely cringy. I just couldn’t do it anymore, especially after learning that we still don’t get any romance.
I will not be reading from this author anymore.

⭐️⭐️/🌶️🌶️
This book is written better than the first but there are still something’s I wish the author would have done differently.
-of page conflict that should have been a huge scene we got to read
-the alphas are very hot and cold and I know that’s sorta the point, but it was almost like they had no feelings for Mai at all unless she started something.
-the alphas don’t believe Mai about a serious incident. I’m guessing at why this is but I still don’t love it.
-I did like seeing Mai grow more self assured and confident!
My ⭐️ rating scale:
⭐️-almost DNFd or didn’t love
⭐️⭐️-goodish but probably won’t recommend
⭐️⭐️⭐️-standard rating for a solid book
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️-great read and will actively recommend
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️-lives in my head rent free and becomes part of my Roman Empire
My 🌶️ rating scale:
🌶️- little to no spice. Maybe some tension but nothing more than a kiss on the mouth.
🌶️🌶️- little more than no spice. Some make outs and light action max.
🌶️🌶️🌶️ -we’ve got some descriptive scenes with little to no clothing involved
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ -kicking my feet giggling and blushing. Open door, descriptive, multiple scenes, tension turns into action.
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️- I would never tell my mother about this book but I would make all my besties read it immediately. We’re talking GRAPHIC detail for more than 35% (guesstimate) of the book.

Wow this series is fantastic!
I had to start with Her Wolves so I could get the full story, and I'm glad I did... holy cow!! This series is amazing, and I can't wait to find out what happens at the Rite!
This is the continuing story of Mai and her 4 alpha wolves. She's been recaptured and sent back to her supposed "Fated mate" and she is absolutely livid, refusing to go thru the ceremony. She wants her wolves to rescue her, but after the explosion at the house, she's not even sure they're alive. Thankfully, they save her at the last moment, and she, the Alphas and those who survived the explosion, all get into a train to go to their real home.
This journey is fraught with danger... the extremely dangerous Levi attack at night so they have to travel only during the day and stay quiet at night. Not only that, but some of the angels are trying to kill her.
There is so much Mai still doesn't know, and the Alphas won't even go the next step in their relationship with her until she knows everything once they arrive at their main home.
Their is a cliffy at the end, and I'm biting my nails waiting for the next book since I really hope everything works out!
❤ the book... ❤ the series! Can't wait for the next one!
I recieved an ARC for my honest review.

This is a series that must be read in order because this book picks up right where the first book left off. Mairin feels betrayed by those closest to her and now she is back in the hands of her enemy. However, this time her will to survive is stronger as she now has something to fight for but hopefully her wolves can get to her before it's too late. I found that this book had a slower pace than the first book in this series, but it does explain more of Mairin, Henderson, Silas, Ragnar and Valentine's history. The group is on a journey that's still full of threats, betrayal, suspense and more. I need Mai to toughen up because I could not understand how she would continue to try and befriend Adira after she threw the gauntlet down about who she wants, and what she would do to get them. I also wanted to throat punch Ragnar, Silas, Henderson and Valentine for not believing the threat because they swore they would protect Mai, yet they seem to let her down in a lot of ways. This story ends with a cliffhanger and I'm hoping the guys find out the truth before everything is destroyed once again.

Bailey gives us another high action book. A lot happens, we and our fmc find out a ton of previously hidden info on her past and the world as it was remade. We are also given a heck of a cliffhanger. I think this one shocked me even more than the first book and what it means for her and the guys. Can’t wait to see where she takes this next. The world building was stepped up and the relationships were taken to the next level. I really like the new female character, but won’t say who to avoid spoilers. She could have her own series and is read it.
There are a couple things I am having a hard time getting past- the trope of blaming the child people died to protect once they’ve grown up. This is never fair, they had no say in other peoples choices and should never be blamed for that. 2- why why why can’t her guys just believe her when she says someone is bad/up to no good. She’s experienced enough to be able to tell the difference and is not a hysterical person in general.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Gripping story
Rejected mates RH with Alphamales. Multiple POV, mostly Irin chapters but we get the odd Alpha chapter.
Dystopian type world where wolves are confined to the UK, the rest of the world is ruled by Angels and humans are slaves.
Mairin learns the truth about her and the Fall Mountain pack Alphas. She is the goddess Persephone reborn and Henderson, Ragnar, Valentine and Silas are the four pieces of Hades.
Mairin is Kidnapped by her father Oisean and Sister Phim and is devestated to find herself back with the Ravensword pack, where she will be forced to mate with Alpha Sylvester. When she is finally rescued by the Alphas, to protect her they must return to the place they were born, outside the walls in the Galatea court.
The journey is dangerous, the first stop is Fenrir Courts where they hope to unlock Mairins lost memories, this leads her to the Cerasus Forest within the Galatea Court Where she hopes to find her lost wolf.
Filled with shocking revelations and betrayals with a brutal cliffhanger.
