Good, predictable ending.

Definitely not the best series from Debbie Cassidy, but it's not a bad read either. Forgettable and a bit of a disappointment, seeing as I was looking forward to Cora & Jasper's story, but eh, you can't always get what you want, right?


All in all, a decent UF, the perfect example for a 3-star read. Not special, not bad, not nothing. Balanced and cute, fun and fast-paced, but all in all, a typical read.

It was ok

So the end has come. I can’t say I’m disappointed by how it turned out but I’m not overly excited either. Overall, while it was full of action and well written, I feel like a lot of drama was added without being necessary. I also didn’t really feel the full force of the connection in the harem. It felt much more focused on Jasper than on Tor, Rune and Leif. I also didn’t really see the need for Sloane to be part of it. It felt forced and added “just because”. Like an “oh we’ll see how it goes” plot line. Something was missing for me in general in this series even if I mostly enjoyed it.

We've finally reached the end of Cora's story. I don't know if I should be happy or sad about it.

Book 4 left us with a cliffhanger, and book 5 starts right back where it left off. Cora will do everything in her power to save Jasper even if it means saving one person against thousands. Moreover, she has to deal with the Varga and the vampires. She needs their help if she and her mates want to save Jasper and destroy the Order. Cora's story was a wild ride, and I'm sure I'm gonna miss her and her guys.

I was kindly provided with an ARC by the author, but I'm leaving a voluntary and honest review.

I am a super huge fan of Debbie's, she never disappoints in her stories or her endings.

Book 5 picks up right where 4 leaves off. I have loved Cora from the moment we were introduced to her, and was so happy when she finally got her own series. All I can say is she has joined my favorite heroines club.

You get everything that you want for the ending of Cora and her gang.

So if you are looking for a good paranormal romance, that does not just focus on the romance. This series is for you. Be prepared for lots of action, sexy times, suspense and the building, growing of love.

Such a disappointing end

I ravenously read through the first 4 books but this was an absolute chore to finish.
Overall the story is just disappointing, so many twists and turns with no real payoff.
Relationships are forced, there was absolutely no need for Sloane, their relationship was so shoe horned in, and there was no reason at all for Sloanes entire story.
The first couple of books you get to know about Tor, Leif and Rune and then they're just completely irrelevant the more the story progresses as are their pack.
There are no answers, Wren isn't even mentioned in the epilogue despite him probably being a fan favourite.
So many ties to other books, sweet little call backs are always nice however as I haven't read Fees books I have no clue about these characters that are constantly referred too, and clearly Brambles story will be a whole spin off so no tie up of her storyline, or the gargoyle storyline, or Elijah.

Feel like I've wasted my time.

Debbie Cassidy has finished off another epic series with a bang! Cora's series has been intense and packed full of action and twists and turns and the ending really has you wanting more from this world. I would have loved a little bit more at the very end but all in all this was a satisfying end to this captivating series. I loved seeing Cora and Fee together and would love to see them together again fighting for the world and for each others' future. Debbie Cassidy has to be one of the best authors..she really knows how to write RH with taste and passion and how to write about the supernatural world that is unique to everyone else out there at the moment. So yourself a favour...read this completed series. Like all of Debbie's books I know I will come back to this series over and over and still love everything about it. Highly recommended.

acho que a autora não soube muito bem apresentar o universo para os leitores, acredito que essa seja uma saga de um outro universo da autora, porque parecida que ela estava apresentando a história da cora para pessoas que já a conheciam.
particularmente não gostei de ter postos de vista alternados, apesar de ser uma coisa que eu não gosto, geralmente não me incomoda tanto porque é algo organizado, além de nessa saga não ter uma organização dos pontos de vista, temos pontos de vista de personagens fora do grupo romântico da protagonista, e isso é uma coisa que eu não gostei.
senti que tinha muitas coisas acontecendo ao mesmo tempo, acho que a autora não soube organizar muito bem os eventos que aconteceram dentro dos livros, e isso cansou a minha leitura.
gostei muito do fato da protagonista já ter um romance semi desenvolvido com o jasper, gostei também do fato dela ter um par romântico feminino, isso é uma coisa que eu sinto muita falta em romances harém. apesar de gostar dessas coisas, notei que o romance - com todos os pares românticos - foi meio bagunçado.
o fato de esperarmos cinco livros pra ter a batalha final e essa batalha ser super curta, foi desmotivador.
no geral, acho que todos os problemas da saga poderiam ser resolvidos se a autora soubesse como organizar melhor a narrativa.

Always with the kicks in the feels with books by this author. I have to say this is one of my favourite series by author, Debbie Cassidy. From the moment we first met Cora in Fee's books I wanted her to have her own story and I wasn't disappointed in the slightest.

The worlds this author brings to life are always amazing, they are well thought out and written and the author doesn't miss a detail when her characters revisit a place. The characters are always growing throughout the series, and this story is no different. Cora really grew as her own person away from Fee and that was brilliant to see.

There was definitely one character in this series that I'm hoping to see more of in the future and that's Croatoan. I really do hope he gets his own story at some point cause that would be awesome.

All in all, this was a brilliant wrap-up, to a series I really enjoyed. Am I gonna miss Cora and her guys? Yes I am, but if the author's previous stories are anything to go by I'm sure they will turn up at some point in the future, even if just for a cameo.

Fantastic conclusion to a good series

I really enjoyed this series Most of the books got 4 stars this is the second book I gave 5 stars to. This book was my favorite in the series. You must absolutely read the series in its entirety and in order. This is one of those series where the plot builds from book to book and the characters evolve from story to story

It is also important to note that this series is a continuation sort of of the reaper series the reaper series is about Fee and this series is about Cora Cora is a strong character in the reaper series And is the main character of this series

I recommend this series to people who like fantasy as long as they don't mind Reverse harem stories and I also recommend the reaper series I never used to read reverse harem books but I have come to enjoy Debbie Cassidy's I just skipped some of the stuff I don't want to read

[Sue Crosby · Rating 5 out of 5]

Simply Wonderful

Anyone who reads my reviews knows what a huge fan of Debbie Cassidy I am. This series, an offshoot of Deadside Reapers doesn't disappoint.

This time Cora and her mates battle to save humanity. And boy do they go through a lot. My only complaint is that Tor, Leif and Rune needed more. Sloane and Jasper I felt in someways had more of a storyline.

But yet again I wish for more. Does Cora get to be a Mam? What happens to Croatoan? Fee and some of her guys make an appearance but no Azazeal or Mal which is a shame. We find that Fee is missing often as she's needed in the Underealm which brings in to question what's happening. I would have liked to see what happens with the Vargas......Aargh! Please Debbie another series to catch up would be most welcome.

I am so sad this is the last book in the series, but gosh darn it, this was so good! Cora is in for a big surprise at the beginning of the book, and the wild ride never stops from that moment. There are so many loose ends to tie up, and the author does a great job of tidily wrapping them up in a nice bow. My only problem with this one is that I want about half of the side characters to get their own series. Pretty please?!? Don’t start the series with this one, but if you have been following along, you will absolutely love this series-ender. Non-stop action, steam, and so many surprises, you will have whiplash! LOL! Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

[Wendy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book picks up exactly where the last one left off, and has your heart pumping with all of the action from start to finish. Pretty much of the answers to the questions we have had from the beginning have been answered. (though there is one or 2 lingering questions on a few sub characters that I am hoping lead into their own story line) Cora has really come into her own and blossomed with her new friends and lovers, and is an EPIC bada$$ FMC. AND we have a cameo from Fee and her mates (YAY!!!!!). The sexy time scenes are very well placed and not overly done or just thrown in for Salacious effect.

I feel the story was wrapped up very nicely in the end, though, I will say- I really wish there was another paragraph or 2 at the very end of the book (my ONLY complaint).

[Becca Brausen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such an amazing series !!!!

There aren't enough words for this author every book she reads is amazing! Another amazing fantastic ending to a wonderful series that I'm sad to see over!! I need more from this world lol I can't wait to read more for work and for more of her titles to come out!!!! Thank you for introducing me to fee and Cora!! I'm so so not ready to let them go. Such great character and world building! I love what the stories have such a fantastic draw you in storyline that keep you guessing the whole way through!! They still have some sexy times but it's not all about that!!! Which I Love. I laughed I cried I sympathized over all just oh very well-rounded story !!!!

[Tara Syrnyk · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this entire series and I love how it concluded. While everything was tied up nicely, it still felt like it was open enough that maybe we would see more of these characters in the future! I loved the relationship and character growth we saw from Cora and her men from book one to this last one, everything moved at a pace that was really fitting of these characters , it flowed so nicely, and while action packed and steamy, nothing felt rushed or out of place. This was a beautiful emotional roller coaster ride that kept me on the edge of my seat, made me laugh, made me cry and just overall really entertained me.

[Sonya · Rating 5 out of 5]

Witch Unmade is the fifth and final book in The Thirteenth Sign series by Debbie Cassidy. All I can think of is Wow. This is the best one in the series. The lines are blurred in enemies and friends, past and present, and of course right and wrong. It is full of twists and turns and emotions on this action packed ride. The ending though I sure didn’t see it coming.
It makes me wonder what Debbie Cassidy is going to come up with next. Can’t recommend this book and series enough. Cora’s journey threw this series has been captivating, edge of your seat, and nail biting.
I voluntarily reviewed this book after receiving an arc copy for an honest review.

[Peggy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am on a rollercoaster of emotions after that series finale!!!

As usual, Debbie brought a boatload of action, love, and suspense. I am so happy with how things tied in and came together, but there are a few tidbits that leave a girl hopeful for another spin-off. 🤞🏼

I love this world, and van say it is my favourite of all Debbie's, Fee and Cora stole my heart and refuse to give it back.

I would have liked to see more of Fee overall in the series, but understand why Cora needed to seperate herself and have her own identity.

If you are still on the fence, get the heck off and read both series' immediately!

[Lene Blackthorn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yet another epic finale to an excellent series. The author played all the strings just right - adventures and action at breakneck speed, emotions going haywire, very hot steamy scenes, tension until the last moments. Cora could not deserve a better conclusion for her story, and I loved her fierce character until the very end. With all her strengths and humanity. There wasn't a single moment when I wanted to put the book down, and I really loved how all the loose ends were tied up in the end, finding a relative peace for Cora and her harem to finally settle down a bit. I will definitely miss them all.

[Deb Barringer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Witch Unmade is the fantastic finale to Debbie Cassidy's The Thirteenth Sign Collection. It starts off with a bang and keeps on rolling to the very satisfying end. The storyline is fast-paced and well written, filled with magic and mayhem, witches, shifters, varga, vampires, ghosts, adventure, intrigue, subterfuge, politics, danger and romance. The characters are well developed and engaging. Cora is changing. Will it be for the good or bad? Wren continues to develop. Will he stay the cute and cuddly friend we all know and love, or will he turn into the monster that legend predicted? Read on to see if our heroes can save the day, or if evil will ultimately win.

[DMCechak · Rating 5 out of 5]

In Witch Unmade, Debbie Cassidy creates an emotional fifth book in her Thirteenth Sign series.

This is a culminating story that crushes dreams, makes your heart hurt, and fulfills destinies of characters that have been plagued by unrelenting turmoil throughout the series.

It is also incredibly well written, and enjoys bright glimpses of sunshine, as Cora and her mates find a truth, that love binds throughout time. Enjoy this intense story, where battles of war, and love, struggle to find peace.

[Stephanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I cried so much reading this final book in Cora’s story! It was definitely an emotional rollercoaster for me.
The story and world building were as usual for Debbie; out of this world! She is literally the best when it comes to character and world building. Once I picked this story up there was no putting it down. It was a non stop read even when I wanted to take a break and make it last longer.
We get to see appearances from Fee and quite a few others in this and I love that. Their friendship is still one of my favorite things. I do wish we had seen more of Fee overall throughout Cora’s story. I always felt like with how close they are we saw very little of her in this series but still amazing and I get that Cora needed to expand and have her own story/life away from Fee.
I’m sad to see these two characters go (Fee and Cora)! Cora and her guys were always giving me anxiety and making me want to punch someone. I literally was hollering “just do it” so often. I highly recommend picking this series up!

[Mari · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was a really good ending to the series and enjoyed it very much. It always amazes me how people make decisions under the idea of it being for the best of all and then justify their grab for power, that is not theirs to begin with, with being the good guy. Anna is the perfect example, she rubbed me the wrong way since she appeared in her first scene of the series. Nonetheless I loved this series and I wonder in which world Croatoan actually did go back in, and what about Bramble and Lauris? I really want to know…

[MaD · Rating 4 out of 5]

The final installment in Cora's story. This one was fast paced and tied up many loose ends. I am gonna miss Cora and her guys...all on them! But one thing I have to put out there...why the Sloane aspect? Bi- is fine but it seemed like the time with her was a disconnect. There was all the guys...lots of interaction....and relationship between them all...together. But time with Sloane was just Sloane....no comingling with the male harem. I didn't see how it added into the story.. Just my thought.

Witch Unmade is the epic conclusion to this series!

Cora and her friends and allies have the final battle to save humanity. Will they win or will they lose?

This book was non-stop action from the very start to to end and will have you sitting on the edge of your seat. I loved this book and devoured it in one day. Although, I will miss Cora and her friends I thought this was a fitting end to the series.

Hold on to your seat because Witch Unmade takes us on one epic ride!!

[Michalle · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the final book in the series and I truly didn’t want it to end. The story had me biting my nails and hanging on to the edge of my seat. My emotions were all over the place. This book brought it all together, plus some. Cora and her guys had a lot riding in their shoulders, but will they be able to save the world? You’ll have to read the book the find out. It was amazing and I’m still thinking about it two days later.

[Retta · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can’t believe it’s over!! Nooo! It can’t be finished! I need more Cora and Jasper and Sloane, Tor, Leif and Rune! It just can’t be done! I obviously didn’t want it to end. But it sure ended in a spectacular finish! I loved it! It was amazing! One of my most favorite series to date. If you haven’t read this series, then pick it up!! You will love it! It’s perfect! I wish there was more! Can I have a sequel?

[Jennifer Soppe · Rating 5 out of 5]

An emotional and thrilling conclusion

Cora, a mixed-up mesh of supernatural, and her dire wolf mates Leif, Rune, and Tor, are stuck dealing with the aftermath from Witch Unbound. As the story progresses one truth is revealed, the solution is chased, and the chances of everyone making it to the battlefield are questionable. Debbie Cassidy’s Witch Unmade is an emotional and thrilling conclusion to Cora's story that has cameo appearances from Fee and many more. I just hope she has something more in store from this world.

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.

[Debbie Eyre · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG what an ending! I have been hooked since book one and with each book it’s just got better and better. It’s been one hell of an adventure and it’s been so emotional and full of lies, secrets and betrayal as well as love, romance and joy. There’s been some surprises for Cora and her men along the way as well as twists and turns I did not see coming but it’s been exciting and entertaining and I have loved every minute of it.

[Rachel Osborne · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a perfect ending to Cora's story. This final book brought everything to the table and gave me all the emotions. I loved that the story had loads of action, stream and amazing scenes that will have you in awe. The ending was perfect. I absolutely adored Cora's story with all her struggles, growth and finding love. I hope we see more of these characters and this world in the future, maybe in another amazing series. Fantastic read!

[Chelsi Dawn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was so sad to say goodbye to Cora and Jasper, Leif, Tor, and Sloane but man did they get an amazing ending! It was so well done and it came together perfectly at the end! This world has been one of my favorites to read and I know I had to say goodbye but I’m so glad I discovered it as well. I can’t wait to see what’s next in this universe.

[Melody Kiernan · Rating 5 out of 5]

The End!
This was an amazing book and a great way to end Cora's story. I love Cora and her chosen lovers/mates ❤ This book definitely pit my emotions through the ringer, I cried I laughed and I was mad, so mad in some parts. But all in all I loved this series and I can't wait for more from this world!
