No pun intended—well, maybe a little pun with special sauce.
Somehow I’ve landed in a weird space where I’m not quite dead but not quite alive either, standing on the edge of something incredible—if only I take the chance and dive into the unknown. My mates taught me to jump on in without hesitation.
I hope the water is warm.
Taking a leap of faith isn’t necessarily the issue, it’s kicking my legs hard enough to break the surface for that first breath of fresh air. Oh, and also avoiding those who would rather see me drown.
Dying was easy, but it’s living that may prove difficult, especially when a certain god wants to rip the bonds of fate from my soul.
Unfortunately for him, I’ve already claimed my place with my mates and I’m ready to fight like hell to keep them.

The last book ugh i dont want it to be over! This series was so amazing and unique, i loved all the characters, especially Sabina who is the heroine because her character developed so much throughout the book. From a fluffy girl she went to Badass and fierce who can do anything to protect her mate. The greek mythology that was included in this series made it more fun to read, and then the plot twist at the end🥺🥺 it was kinda emotional but Sabina says something funny and it goes from suspenseful to emotional to funny. This series has it all, seriously, i cant get over it now 😩
This book was every thing i wanted. I wish I could say “and more”, but that would mean that Sabinas story would never end because I do want so much more. I love these characters so much.
Salvation picks up right where Seduction ends, with Sabina finally mating with all 5 guys but something terribly wrong happens. This book really shows Sabinas evolution from the beginning of the series, and i mean literally and figuratively. She’s not made of “fluff” anymore, as Kade once said. But she’s also transformed.
This whole book takes place in the matter of days, as they’ve finally reached the Summit. While reading Salvation, I was seriously on the edge of my seat the whole time. So much was happening and it was fully action packed. My frustration with what they were going through and my nerves reached an all time high and I didn’t know how much more I could take. But thankfully, everything worked out in the end.
All of the characters in this series were amazing, including pretty much every side character. Both how the characters interacted and everyone’s inner monologue was hilarious. I love that it was multiple POV because then you could really get to know each character.
OH, and I totally slid into Elle’s DMs yelling at her at the end of the book. I was SHOOK with the twist. My apple watch actually told me to breath.
The ending was quick, but Elle is going to be releasing a heat novella and YA GIRL CANNOT WAIT.
Also, there’s a sneak peak into Nessa’s story and holy moley it’s gonna be good!
* few spoilerd ahead* I am not disappointed because I already knew it would be bad... but I was looking foward to that orgy that never happened so I guess I am disappointed after all? I was also waiting for Liam, Christian and Kade to get it on, but nope none of that instead we get wasted pages about Sabina being the stubborn toodler she is not lettinf go of her dad's ashes having him right next to her telling her it is ok...
Also the accuracy in greek mythology here is simply NON existent. In what universe would a greek god EVER be disrespected by simple mortals?! If percy jackson had read this book he would be laughing his ass off.
The level of selfishness, childlike behavior, lack of bravery and sense of adventure and not to mention her annoying way of being too random... I really don't know how else to say I hate Sabina.
I was even left with the question of how she was going to be going in to heat! We had so much forshadowing for it not even happening at all.
Many scenes started held a promise to be co tinued and never did. Many other things forshadowed did not happen.
Waste of time but it somehow made me curious to continue the story... but let's be honest. I only did because of the guys.
Salvation by Elle Lincoln is a fantastic story that I have loved reading. This is book number four in this fantastic series that I was so hooked on since the beginning. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about reverse harem, HEA, romantic comedy, fantasy and paranormal romance.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
SYNOPSIS (of Books 1-4): The story is set in a word where shifters live side by side with humans but humans are unaware. The FC, Sabine or Bean, goes to her father‘s cabin in the woods to scatter his ashes and find out who murdered him. She meets her fated mates and discovers that shifters, Gods and Magic exist. The story covers how the FC learns who she is and the reality of the world she lives in as well as getting to know her fated mates and find out who killed her father. This is against a backdrop of the shifter council trying to make some fundamental changes to how they rule. There are Gods and Goddesses involved and a small amount of angst. There are currently about 10 plus books in this series but they are broken down into different characters but all from the same family. The first 4 books are about Sabine.
🌶️🌶️🌶️/🍆🍆🍆 - there are quite a few sex scenes and they are well written and hot but not OTT and relatively vanilla
A lot of reviewers have given this book a low rating and whilst I agree with some of the comments I think that this book had a decent story and a likeable (but quirky) FC. I agree that there are a lot of typo and editing issues and parts where a sentence or paragraph just doesn‘t make sense, it‘s like the author changed something somewhere and forgot to make the consequential changes or just failed to read over what she had written. This does detract from the story and is very annoying.
I still gave this book a 4 as I liked the quirkiness of the FC and the plot started off well. Unfortunately as the story (and Books) progress there are real holes in the story and parts that make no sense. I also felt that the climax, as seems to be the case with a lot of books that have a big build up, just didn‘t deliver and the villains did not get what was coming to them. I find it irritating when authors introduce powerful beings such as Gods but then ignore the fact that in reality that being could just kill or punish those that have done wrong and end all the issues that the FC is suffering. That is the case here.
The FC, as mentioned, is quirky and talks to herself a lot. Some of it I found quite funny. There is the issue of her constantly wanting to eat snacks and being hungry which is never explained and there is limited backstory regarding the MCs or the world they live in. The relationships are all insta as this is fated mates and there is no real character development.
On the whole I found the Books enjoyable but too many issues with the storyline and the lack of closure for me to continue on. I‘m also not a fan of Gods or Goddesses in stories.
Well then... I spent the majority of my time reading this series in a state of confusion. It started off shaky & spastic- skipping from topics too quickly & holding too many secrets too close to the vest. To the point where it wasn’t intriguing, it was just plain confusing, & that’s not a fun reading experience. I understand wanting to build up the question of the “who done it” but when you keep too much information back it’s just senseless. Then just when things starting making sense- I got to this damn book!! Why was Sabina an abomination? WHY?!? Nowhere in any of the books does it give a real answer, believe me I freaking looked. The only answer we are ever given is because she is mortal &/ or she is god blessed, but neither one of those reasons hold weight. The werewolves they turned are also mortal & the lycans themselves are gods blessed....sooooo? Make it make sense. Then there is the council, whose motives & actions haven’t made any goddamn sense the entire series. Which is probably because with every book the council seemed to change leaders & motives. I still don’t understand why they wanted to out themselves or even the point of power at all if your entire race is controlled by the collars. Dakota was the worst though. He really had no motive whatsoever. Honestly, it felt like the author just wanted to surprise her audiences the cost of a decent plot. The author seemed to think because I said so was a decent motive & it showed.
The ending was shit. The build up was heavy, we kept ramping & ramping for a splat. The winning grand gesture was talking to a brownie? Ugh
There were a TON of loose ends in this book, but I know that she is continuing on with other characters so I’ll be lenient. However, I don’t see the other characters caring about Christian’s mom, sooo? Loose end there. Also, the Batman morality going on with Sabina whining sometimes when she killed a person & other times completely ignoring it gave her a headache.
I did enjoy reading this series & this book. I just think all the side plots were superfluous & she should have concentrated more on one main over-arching plot line. It would have made for a better read & maybe cut down on the confusion.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Salvation is the last book in the Fated Souls series, and what a humdinger.
Ell Lincoln really let her muse run manic in this last book. The first third of the book was just that chaotic. I had a hard time keeping up, and for the first time, Bean really annoyed the hell out of me. That resolves, and things start to refine to a less kinetic plot narrative. Read: Sabina settles her ass down enough for the story to take over.
Bean's guys are all rather worked up for her and one another in this last book, and I'm really upset that Elle Lincoln didn't give the money shot on the promise Christian made to Liam behind closed doors. I needed that scene, and that I didn't get it bummed me out.
Artie is her normal nutty self, and she has to make some tough decisions in this book which set up the next series. Let's be happy and sad about that. But like Artemius, many gods see daylight in Salvation. I have a few favorites, but I'd have to kill you if I told you the one I most was interested in... wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
Also, we meet a few more creatures in this book than those before.
Sadly, the end is nigh and means the douchecanoe that has been causing trouble is discovered--Elle is a heartless writer who ripped my heart out with this reveal. You have to read Salvation and review it so we can compare notes.
Please finish what you start and read this last title in the series. The start might be a little difficult to manage but stick with it because the end is worth the admission price.
Recommend.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary advance copy of this book.
Holy cow. This final book in the Fated Souls series was incredible. There were so many things that happened that I never expected. The combination of gods manipulating others, including other gods, lycans being on a power trip, and Bean becoming so much more than I ever expected her to be just threw me for a loop. The villain behind the wolf mate situation was also mind blowing. Never in my life would I have expected for things to turn out the way they did. Pan was just one piece of the puzzle, a god taking advantage of a group for his own gain, playing them like his own flute. The whole scenario was just unexpected and thrilling at the same time. I'm pretty happy with how Bean's part of the story ended at this point. I can see her and her guys playing a part in future stories. Although I do wish that we would have gotten a scene between Kade, Christian, and Liam. Maybe for a bonus epilogue or POV down the line *fingers crossed*.
Lincoln creates some amazing characters that really stick with you to the end. Side characters aren't just there to add a little spice. They are actually ones that you want to learn more about and Lincoln set the cousins and Nessa up for some amazing future books where we will be able to learn about them more and read their stories as well. I'm looking forward to seeing what other mischief this family can get themselves into and finding out who their mates are.
Wow! What a series So funny, loving and Addicting Although I kinda wanted more from Sabrina in this book as certain chapters were like yes she’s a badass and she’s gonna finally kick ass She did it in a different way and I still love her I’m gutted it had to come to a end I love the cliffhanger with Vanessa hehe
Anyway once a human girl, discovers secrets and a supernatural that she has been part of since birth and never knew She assumed her family had a curse that any man that fell in love with them died But all is revealed in a journey she makes after her father passes away and leaves in his will a cabin that she once visited when she was younger She meets her future and learns secret even her dad kept from her Family members who were not who she believed them to be A war between gods and shifters
It’s just a awesome series Every books is awesome So funny and well written You just gotta give it a try especially if you love supernatural books It’s got you hooked from chapter 1 book 1 and you won’t want to stop.
Sooo excited for this book!! This series has been epic, it as a whole enraptured me and made me laugh wholeheartedly. This ending was amazing. It added to the story, with even more twists, and with a resolution I totally didn’t expect, it completely shocked me.
I loved the conclusion- with no spoilers, this is a happily ever right now. It’s left open, so I’m hoping that we see Bean and her guys in future works.... which I’m now curious about- there is a hint towards the end, and I can see where this whole world can be a possibility of stories, this is such an amazing adventure.
This series is a must read, I can’t wait to have the time to re-read it all in order!
Story 📖: 4.5/5 such a great ending! Heat 🔥: 5/5 🥵🥵🥵🥵 I’m not a huge fan of mm, but these scenes are definitely hot!
I really enjoyed the journey this book and the previous books took me on. Each book is filed with so much action as you are taken through many twists and turns. In this book everything comes together in a crazy way. The book starts from when the last book ended with Sabina reacting badly after Athos finally bites and mates with her. To go through so much as we see what she chooses to become, then to go on the crazy ride as they go to meet the lycan council. I really enjoyed reading this from each guys pov as well as Sabina's, it gave the book more depth knowing what they were going through. And that ending was wicked, plus I liked how we got to see abot from Vanessa at the end hopefully leading to a new series with her. Totally wicked series that I'd Totally recommend
I knew it. It was gunna be the last book of mostly fluff, and then this one ended too fast.
I really fucking hate that. Such a fast and confusing ending. Where there's too much going on but not enough information.
And then it wasn't detailed enough. We didn't get out crazy orgy. Nothing.
I know there's a 5th fluffy book and I skimmed it. Just not interested.
Having said that it wasn't a bad book. I loved the development of the characters. Nix really came into a strong leader. And Liam! Prince not so charming has some snark. I was glad cuz he was kinda a filler mate imo.
It was good. Just lots of unanswered questions. I feel like are maybe gunna set up for lots of world building for this catalogue of series. But we'll see.
Being book four you're familiar with all the characters. Even though you will learn some new and exciting things about them. From "Bean" to Artemis to even her dad. The lycan Council It's up to nothing good. Pan is behind it's but there is a surprise leader you won't believe! You meet family members from the guys. You see more of the Amazonian's as well as the were females. More gods or touched on. Vanessa is still there but not physically. Ash start showing her Hunter side. And while our favorite pixie loving shy one has turned into a confident woman as well! There are a lot of twists, turns never a dull moment and information leading into Vanessa story!
This story just gets better in each book. They are very dark in the actions of everyone. You learn more about the backgrounds of Athos, Nix, Christian, Liam, and Kade. Sabina is between life and death and must choose her pathway going forward. What she does not take into consideration is the choice she makes and how it changes her. It is fun finding out who has been her grandma for her entire life and that her mother and aunts were aware of it. The person behind everything that has happened throughout the books, was a surprise. Sabina slowly grows into who she is meant to be.
This series was a crazy ride of big bomb drops, betrayal, sweet love, so much drama, and spice.
Sabina grows stronger with each book of the series and I don’t just mean in a physical or magical way. We get to watch her grow emotionally as well.
Gods, shifting creatures, and all the magic. There is so much plot stuffed into this series, you absolutely won’t get bored. You will also fall in love with Sabina’s family, including Artemis. You want a strong girl group that always has each other’s backs? This is absolutely these women.
You’ll go through all the emotions and cry some as well as laugh and grin.
No plot spoilers. No potential triggers. There are a few grammatical errors that irritated but didn't kill the book. The sentence structure is sometimes jarring but again, it doesn't totally detract from the storyline. The characterisation is good, the author draws you into the plotline and within a few pages you don't want to leave. It's the fourth in the series so not suitable as a standalone, much better to start at the very beginning. There are some sex scenes including MMF, plenty of swearing and quite a lot of violence.
Sabrina and her men are strong characters who face whatever challenges are thrown at them. There were some unexpected surprises in this one. This entire series will not let you down! And if things get too tense, you can always count on the humor and hilarity to get you through the tough parts!
This story, and the whole series actually, had a great well-paced story line, fabulous characters, and lots of suspense. Grab your copy and get on that rollercoaster of emotions that will carry you through to the exciting end!
Sabina and the guys are back in book four of the Fated Souls series. After the ending of book three I was anxious to find out what would happen next for the group and as we learned more about the characters it made this book and this series that much better. The storyline flowed smoothly from book to book and now I look forward to reading the next great series by this fabulous author. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
Honestly, this is a series you would kick yourself for not reading! I can't remember a time when every single book made me laugh so much. The humor is awesome, the family and friends relationships were wonderful and getting to know the heroine and her heroes was absolutely fantastic. I can't wait to see what happens with the rest of the crew. I would 100% recommend this interesting series!
A fantastic ending that’s tied up Sabina’s journey while giving us glimpses of what’s to come in the spin-offs and open enough that they could show up as side characters later on. A few surprises were still ahead and a huge twist I honestly didn’t see coming. It’s was everything I’ve come to expect from the series so far with its fair share of hilarious scenes and even a few token POVs from Artemis!

I really liked this last book of the series. Even though Sabina changed, it didn't change her unique and quirky personality. She still is a bit of a klutz, has an obsession with snacks, and tends to say things that aren't necessarily appropriate. I've loved how uniquely weird Sabina is. I can see some of her traits in myself which always makes me laugh. Great ending for a fun series!
Elle, nice finish though you have a Book 5. More adventures I assume. Nice universe of Lycans and other supernatural creatures. Sabina is a lovable and very quirky MFC even though I still find her self conversations hard to follow sometimes. I look forward to Book 5 and the separate series with Vanessa. Keep up the good work 👍😀
This is book four of the Fated Souls series and I was still completely hooked by this series. I loved all the twists and turns that this book took. I love the bonds Sabina has with her men I love how the series is wrapped up for now and I can't wait to stay on Vanessa's story.
This book is a MPOV reverse harem/why choose book. It follows on from the previous book continuing the series. I enjoyed reading the story and following the characters journeys. The book delivered the resolution to the biggest question asked in the first book as well as setting up the story for a spin off. The book has some spicy scenes but is also story driven.
Really enjoyed this series and I wish it didn't finish there. I want to see Sabina and the guys with babies lol this series was accidentally stumbled upon and I'm so glad I did
Read the whole entire series in 4 days I absolutely love Bean and her Harem all the guys are perfect in their own way. Really hope she comes out with a series about Nessa, Pepper, Ash and Artie. 10 out of 10 would read again multiple times
This series has been incredible for book 1 but I have been left speechless with this las book. It is a captivating read with a heck of an ending. Well written with very lovable characters and a plot that is engrossing. I am very excited to read Vanessa's story.
This was perfect all around. The twisted mind games and betrayal we deep in this one. I wanted it to continue but can’t wait for the other girls to tell their stories.
First off...this book made me cry! A good cry but a cry nonetheless. It made me feel so many different emotions that I just had to finish it. I couldnt put it down. The ending was wonderful...made me ache for more. I absolutely love it. Cant wait for the sequels.❤
This is an amazing series. Sabina her mates and her family are really amazing. All the crazy shit and all the upheaval they are there for each other. I can’t wait to get to know Piper’s, Ash’s, Ness’s and Kendal’s stories. Thank you Elle for your amazing books.
